RICE BY MAMA REVIEWS

Rice by Mama is an absolute gem in Ventura! My wife had the Pad See Ew, and I had the Pumpkin Red Curry—both were absolutely incredible, full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. We also loved the Thai tea—so refreshing and delicious! Honestly, the only thing we’d change is offering larger sizes because I finished mine way too fast and had to order another. Definitely coming back for more! Highly recommend.

The beef red curry is delicious, highly recommend! Pad Thai with beef also pretty good and the pineapple fried rice was yummy! Service was fast and ambiance is good, definitely will return.

Everything is always spectacular. From the food, to the service and everything in between. BEST THAI FOOD AROUND, imo :) Hands down. The pad-z ew is unbelievable, as well as the pineapple curry. I've never been disappointed.

RICE THAI CUISINE REVIEWS

Had a lovely lunch at Rice. It is a great casual spot for lunch, and super relaxed and comfortable if you are eating alone. I ordered the pad Thai with shrimp, which was very tasty and well prepared. Noodles are not overcooked and shrimp are good. Just don't put too much spicy sauce! Highly recommended, especially if you want a more relaxed alternative to Rice by Mama a block down.

Great food, great server. Atmosphere was okay because a server at the neighboring restaurant was complaining about other servers and F bombing every other word for at least an hour. Other than that, sitting on the porch area was relaxing. I highly recommend ordering the Pad Thai dish and the Special Yellow Curry bowl.

This is one my favorite Thai places in Ventura. Service is great, food is authentic & flavorful. I love their house specials, the coconut chicken is delicious. The pineapple fried rice had huge prawns. I definitely reccomend this place. I'm a glutton for Thai iced coffee too.... I love theirs.

SAWASDEE THAI CUISINE REVIEWS

My husband and I decided to try out this Thai restaurant for the first time, and wow, were we impressed! Without a doubt, this is the best Thai restaurant we’ve experienced in the area. The food was absolutely delicious, leaving us marking it as our new favorite spot. We're already making plans for our next visit! Not only was the food exceptional, but the customer service truly stood out. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch Thai cuisine and excellent service. Can't wait to come back.

My favorite Thai restaurant in Ventura. Delicious and consistently amazing food, wonderful service and orders are correct/efficient. The food is always fresh and had a good spice level. If you are in the area skip the others and head over to Sawasdee.

Nice waitresses, wonton soup and egg rolls are amazing, but I personally wasn’t a fan of the Teriyaki flavor sauced chicken. Great quiet music atmosphere
