Crispy chicken pad Thai
Jenny T.

Food: OMG this crispy chicken pad Thai was delicious! The chicken was so flavorful and the pad Thai was delicious. It was also so fast! Service: Food was so fast. Ambiance: Really nice area with tons of natural lighting. I love it. So clean.

Came here for quick Thai food and obsession with their crispy chicken pad Thai. Price is reasonable for Charlestown area. Services are not the best and half of their dinning area is closed down. But love their Thai food , will come back to try their sushi next time

Pad Thai Lunch with Chicken
Julia B.

Sweet Rice is my absolute FAVORITE restaurant in Jamaica Plain, having lived in JP for several years. I always get their Pad Thai with Chicken. I honestly haven't eaten a pad thai from another city or state that I've enjoyed as much as Sweet Rice's. I also have to drink a Thai Iced Tea every time I visit. Yum! Sweet Rice is never so busy that you cant get a table quickly, though they can get quite bustling on some evenings. The food comes out quickly, which is great when I arrive feeling ravenous! It's never too loud inside that I can't have a nice conversation someone.

Thai pancake was delicious
min t.

The mango rice dessert was delicious. But they didn't wait till dessert time to give it to us. They just kind of threw everything out as it was ready. My favorite was the Thai pancake. It was my first time tasting something like that and it was delicious. Very hot and fresh. The mango duck curry was pretty watery. It didn't feel like they simmered it enough. I like my curry nice and creamy. They also forgot to give us our dragon roll. We had to remind them after eating half of our food. And then they put the order in.

Vegetable Tempura

I've done carry out from Sweet Rice twice and had different experiences! The first time was sort of disappointing. The second time we stuck to sushi and miso soup and it was so delicious!! Absolutely loved it. I'll definitely try Sweet Rice again.

Thai Pancake
Drashti T.

Got takeout from here this past weekend. For appetizers I got a Thai pancake. It came pretty thick which I was not expecting but it tasted really good. It came with a sweet ginger sauce which paired nicely with the umami flavor. I got the drunken noodles for my main. It had a little bit of a kick which was nice and the vegetables were the perfect amount of crunch for texture. The chicken was a little dry and I do wish it had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, it was a good meal

Sweetheart roll
Katherine R.

Nice place to stop into for some sushi or Thai food. Their salmon and tuna is very fresh and tasty, so I usually don't stray from having those, but the fried rice and dumplings are great too. They also have different sizes sushi boats which are cool to try! The place itself is usually pretty quiet and they have a cute setup, but the service could be improved. I have found the servers to be a bit cold and short. For takeout - they seem to have a very successful takeout process. Every time I am in I can see bags lined up and ready to go!

Vegetable Spring Rolls
Stinky P.

It is very groovy to have this restaurant close to Old Stinky"s plush, but not overly ostentatious condo. It was very hot today so Stinky did not even want to go out, not even for a smoke. So he grabbed his MyPad and ordered up some Thai. Tried the Tropical Noodles and Vegetable Spring Rolls. He probably should not have gotten the white rice since he did not expect the main dish to be so noodle heavy. Oh well. The Spring Rolls are always wicked pissah! So crisp and tasty. The noodles were quite tasty and had Chicken, veggies and other groovy stuff. It had quite a zing to it, which is educational for further orders, since Stinky ticked off only 1 star out of 5 for spiciness. He can only imagine what the 5 is like. At his advanced age and unpredictable Gastric System, it is best not to go spicy for reasons the old dude will not go into at this time, but let's just say he ain't named Stinky for nuthin'. Portion of main dish was really large as usual for this place. He could eat not quite half, so that leaves some left for Stinky's pie hole tomorrow. He has ordered from Sweet Rice many times and it's his fave Thai restaurant. Never disappoints the old dude.

Thai was a little diluted, calamari was good!, pad thai taste great, drunken noodle is fair and crispy chicken basil is not that amazing for me. Our server was nice and proactive. Table spacing is wide. Bathroom is clean and smells good. I think people like it here as there are alot of takeout orders waiting. No parking space, so you got to roam around if the street parking is full. Accepts credit/debit. High chair available.

Shrimp Pad C-U Dinner
Tiffani J.

Location matters a lot!! This Sweet Rice is so much better than the one in JP. Years ago, I probably wouldn't have said that. But, this one is good. The food is always fresh. The service is always prompt but not necessarily friendly. There is a chilling politeness but doesn't distract too much from the experience. The food is hot and tasty.

Pad C-U Dinner

Whether it's delivery or dine-in, I've never had a bad meal from Sweet Rice. Ironically my favorites are the fried tofu and Brussels sprouts from the appetizers, but the red curry (chicken), drunken noodles, and pad c-u are all top choices. I think most things can be made vegetarian, which was great news for me. Table mates at the last dine-in raved over the hamachi collar, crab rangoons, and garlic salmon. Excellent service and a very laid back but modern atmosphere.

I was recommended this place by one of my friends, and I really loved it! Definitely appreciated…read morethe wide variety of the menu as well as the kindness of the staff, especially the hostess! I'm not sure how many there are, but she was Asian with long black hair. Unfortunately, I was having a pretty bad day before heading over, so my attitude was not what it should have been. To my surprise, the hostess didn't retaliate or display any bad attitude toward me, which in turn motivated me to be kinder :) It definitely costs nothing to be kind, and I was definitely grateful that she provided such impeccable service! Great casual spot; prices are fairly reasonable. I'd definitely recommend!

My friend and I ended up here spontaneously while we were both running errands on Newbury St. I was…read morein the mood for something Asian, we decided on sushi, and we vaguely remembered that one of our colleagues, who is from Japan, had said something about this place. That sealed the deal for Sakabayashi. I have to admit, though: we both got a little sticker shock when we opened the menu. The menu was extensive and everything sounded good, but it took us a while to figure out what we actually wanted to spend. At one point I told my friend, "If you want to leave, it's okay. I won't mind. We can just go." He said, "I'm fine if you're fine." I said, "I'm fine if you're fine." And then we basically just stared at each other and continued struggling with the menu. Eventually, we accepted that dinner was going to be more than $30 and shared the chicken karaage ($10), then each ordered the chef's pick nigiri ($30). The karaage was solid: crispy, yummy, nicely presented, and good with the mayo dipping sauce. But the nigiri made my eyes POP. MAN OH MAN was it FRESH. It was so good. That was basically all I could think about while eating it. I've eaten a lot of sushi in my life, although I still have the palate of a college student...and sometimes the wallet, too. I've definitely had sushi where I've thought, "This tastes like nothing," or "Why isn't the rice seasoned?" or, worse, "This doesn't taste right...I don't think this is very fresh." This was the opposite. The fish actually had flavor. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and the rice and fish worked together the way good nigiri should. I wish I had slowed down and appreciated each piece more instead of inhaling it. I will absolutely be coming back. Now I know where to go when I'm craving genuinely good-quality sushi and am willing to spend a little more for it. The restaurant itself is classy, bright, neat, and polished without feeling stuffy. It would be a great place to catch up with a friend or for a date night. Although for a date, maybe don't feel bad about splitting the bill. It's the modern era anyway.

There are meals you remember because they taste good, and then there are experiences that change…read morethe way you think about food. Three 1 One Omakase was one of those experiences. It introduced me to new textures, flavors, aromas, and, most importantly, a deeper appreciation for the culture behind the food. From the moment we arrived, Chef Wei, his wife Carrie, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere felt intimate, as though we had been invited into someone's home rather than a restaurant. Every detail felt intentional, from the minimalist design and calming ambiance to the subtle aromas throughout the space. Learning that Three 1 One was originally a one-bedroom apartment made the experience even more meaningful. The evening reminded me of a trip to Phu Quoc, Vietnam, where local islanders welcomed my fiancé and eight friends into their home to share a meal prepared from that day's catch. Coincidentally, there were ten guests gathered around the counter at Three 1 One, just as there had been ten of us in Vietnam. In both places, strangers came together over exceptional food and genuine hospitality. That feeling stayed with me throughout the evening. My fiancé and I celebrated our 11th anniversary here as we began exploring Michelin-starred restaurants together. After traveling throughout North and South Vietnam, where his family is from, we returned with a renewed appreciation for food and the stories it tells. We were excited to discover such a thoughtful Michelin-starred restaurant so close to home. The 19-course omakase felt like a journey. The opening truffle sea bream with mizuna and sudachi sauce awakened the palate with bright citrus and earthy richness. The Kegani Hokkaido hairy crab with dashi jelly and tomato dashi mousse became my fiancé's favorite. Once mixed together, it was creamy, savory, delicate, and refreshing. His reaction said it all: "Wow." The tako (octopus) with house-made sweet soy sauce highlighted the natural flavor of the seafood beautifully, while the Tokobushi somen with abalone, wheat noodles, yam, okra, and cold dashi became one of my favorite courses. It was refined yet bold, layered with umami, and unexpectedly reminded me of the haenyeo women of Jeju Island, whose tradition of free-diving for seafood gave me an even greater appreciation for the ingredients. Another standout was the Amadai Uroko Yaki (crispy-scale tilefish). The contrast between the crisp scales and tender fish created a texture I'd never experienced before. Along with the abalone course, it was one of the highlights of the evening. The Aji horse mackerel with ginger, chives, sesame, and nori provided a refreshing transition before the sushi. The sushi alone deserves its own review. Every piece reflected remarkable craftsmanship and precision. Watching Chef Wei prepare each bite was part of the experience itself. The rice was beautifully seasoned, and every ingredient felt balanced. My favorite piece was the uni (sea urchin). It was incredibly smooth, rich, and almost buttery. My second favorite was the Hokkaido hotate (scallop), with its delicate smokiness, sweetness, and juicy texture that left me wanting another bite immediately. We also tried selections from the additional menu, along with a pear-toned sake that paired beautifully with the meal. More than anything, what stayed with me wasn't just the food, but the feeling of the evening. It was an experience built around craftsmanship, hospitality, culture, and sharing a meal with others. Thank you to Chef Wei, Carrie, and the entire team for making our 11th anniversary unforgettable and for giving us such a memorable first Michelin-star dining experience. We look forward to returning.

This was my first Omakase experience, and I honestly don't know how anything will ever top it! From…read morethe moment you walk in, the atmosphere is personalized and incredibly welcoming. We went through 18 courses of the freshest, highest-quality fish. Chef Wei's precision is amazing to watch, and the progression of the meal was perfectly paced. He is truly an artist! If you have allergies, they are exceptionally accommodating. I have a crab allergy, and they didn't just skip the course, instead they prepared a thoughtful, high-end substitution so I never felt like I was missing out on the full experience. While it is a splurge, Chef Wei ensures you get your money's worth through the quality of the ingredients and the flawless service. An absolute 10/10 for a special occasion!

And it is popular for a good reason. Service is quick, I'm sure they are trying to get people in and out. Very fresh kaisendon (fish bowls) with delicately cut, plump fish. A friend and I got the salmon and tuna don, which were appropriately priced under $20 if I remember correctly. Lots of different cuts of salmon and tuna, which were all covering fluffy white rice, and served with a side of miso soup and Japanese radish/pickled vegetable. If you were to compare this place with other casual Japanese spots serving sushi or sashimi, there is an easily discernable difference in quality. You can tell by the texture and appearance of the fish in your bowl! This is a classic in Chinatown for a reason, and I will never say no to a kaisendon from Tora.
