First time visiting with my family and we all liked this place! This is one of the hidden gems in…read moreWorcester! Family operated, consists of older generation of hardworking and freindly staff! Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures of the food (I normally do), we were too hungry, but we had Bun Bo Hue, Banh Canh Cua, and Com Tam Biet, which all had plentiful ingredients on the plate/bowl for under 17 bucks each! They have a big parking lot, but watch out for the potholes! By the way, do not expect inside with beautiful or modern decorations. It has simplistic and minimalistic settings with several frames on the wall. They open at 7am and close at 1pm M-F. On Saturdays, it is closed at 2pm. Come and check out this place if you are local!

This is such a gem! Don't be fooled by the location on Park Ave. They are definitely open and have…read morea full menu of Vietnamese meals, snacks and banh mi! I think this has to be the best banh mi place in Worcester. Perfectly crispy baguette and they don't skimp on vegetables or ingredients. Everything was made fresh, so I'd recommend calling in the order if you want to takeout otherwise it's a 20 minute wait. The staff were so so kind and truly take pride in their food and service. Interior seating is spacious but don't be expecting a new, modern interior. Plenty of parking in their own parking lot, though watch out for the bumps and potholes! Overall, this will be the only place I go to in Worcester for banh mi and Vietnamese coffee. Highly recommend!

This is the best Thai food in the city hands down.

When making curry at home, I've tailored my recipe to mimic theirs because it's truly the gold standard. Having tried every single type of curry, the pad Thai, the fried rice, the edamame and most of the other apps as well I can say with confidence that this place never misses. And they are very quick and very friendly with great customer service. I highly recommend coming here before catching a show; the restaurant space itself is very inviting! Thank you Rice Violet staff for keeping us fed!

Such a quaint, chill spot close to the Palladium, which is exactly why we stopped in. The service…read morewas fantastic, quick, and attentive. They were constantly refilling our waters and checking in without being overbearing. The Pad Thai and pineapple chicken fried rice were incredible, and the crab Rangoon were so crispy without being greasy. The filling was also really flavorful. I wish I lived closer because I know I will be craving this again soon lol. Honestly, I have zero complaints. Three of us split one order of each of those dishes, and we still couldn't finish everything. The portions are huge, especially for the price. We paid around $50 total, which felt very reasonable for the area. Definitely a great find!

Kai Mook is our go-to spot for Thai food, and both the food and service are typically very good. On…read morethis evening, we ordered takeout. A few of our favorite items were: Yaowarat Fried Rice Dinner -- $17.00 Wonton Noodle Soup with Senlek (Thin Rice Noodles) -- $15.00 Gyoza Potstickers, Steamed -- $9.00 Total with tax and tip: $45.87 The Gyoza was excellent, soft, flavorful, and very tasty. The Wonton Noodle Soup was very good, but unfortunately several of the wontons had stuck together and fell apart when separated, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable dish. The Yaowarat Fried Rice was also not quite up to the standard we've come to expect. It was much drier than usual, and the meat was cut into very small pieces, which was different from the way it has been prepared on our previous visits. We definitely preferred the versions we've enjoyed in the past. Overall, still a good meal from one of our favorite Thai restaurants in the area, but a couple of the dishes missed the mark compared with our previous experiences. Four stars for this visit.

My wife and I were on our way out of Worcester when we drove by their brightly lit sign on Park…read moreAve. Immediately we were overcome with Vietnamese cravings and had to U-Turn to get a bite to eat. Parking is very easy as it's located in a fairly large lot with about ~25 spots. It's quite a relief that there's a large spacious gap between the two rows of parking. Upon entering the vestibule, you can tell this place is going to look niiice. The bar area is illuminated with violet and magenta LEDs giving it a nightclub vibe. Entering the dining area, it is a huge contrast. You are entering a jungle-like atmosphere with the dark green walls, and wood accents, and plants lining the windows. This restaurant looks NICE and you should definitely take your partner out here. Our wait staff was friendly and gave us good recommendations and answered all the questions we had. I also love it when they clarify with us if we want everything out at the same time or bring things out as they finish. Fruit Tea - Fiji ; very good and refreshing drink. I LOVE coconut jelly and I was drawn to this instantly. It helps that all of the other aspects taste great too. Nem Nướng Cuốn (Grilled Pork Patty Rolls) ; nem nướng is one of my all-time favourite proteins and I'm happy to say that these rolls are very good. sweet pork patties rolled in Vietnamese Salad (Fresh) Roll style and paired with sweet chili sauce. fantastic. Chạo Tôm (Grilled Ground Shrimp) ; whoa these have to be the most shrimpy flavorful chạo tôm I've had. Every time I order these at other restaurants, they're always really tough or they hardly have enough flavor. Strongly recommend these if you've never had this dish before. It also comes with little squares of vermicelli meant for rolling I guess, but they were very difficult to eat neatly lol Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese Sandwich) ; keep in mind this is a snack size and our waiter even emphasized it. I'm sure that means they've gotten complaints before. This was alright. The pickled vegetables are good, but the meat is nowhere as flavorful countless other places. The bread is serviceable. This was only $7 so I can't be too critical. Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Lemongrass Soup) ; this was my wife's choice. we rarely see this served at other restaurants so she knew she had to try it and she liked it very much. It's a small very flavorful bowl of semi-spicy broth and comes served with two baguettes (same ones used on the bánh mì) Phở Bò Viên (Meatballs) ; here I am again eating another bowl of phở. I am happy to report that these guys also have a delicious broth. It is very, very flavorful and uses the same thin variety of noodles that seems to be served everywhere. The meatballs were good and tender as well. Make sure you're hungry because this is a BIG portion. This place is all bangers. And I recently learned that they're still in Soft Opening mode (since November 2025!) and they're finally doing a grand opening on August 15, 2026!
