Rice Restaurant, Washington DC

I had a very negative experience at this restaurant. I use a walker which I placed behind my chair when I sat down. There was plenty of room to walk around my walker, but a staff member (perhaps the manager) very rudely told me I needed to move it. His tone was disrespectful and completely inappropriate. The food is good, but they need to treat disabled people with respect to earn my recommendation. I will not be returning.

Absolutely delicious. Nice selection of authentic dishes at very reasonable prices. There is also a very nice bar top that gives the restaurant a modern feel. I appreciated the minimalist decor and overall atmosphere. The food was fresh, tasty, and came out quickly. Service was also above average. Definitely recommend checking them out.

Best Thai restaurant at this price point in DC. Best pad thai I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a LOT of pad thai) and the curries are incredible. Good portion sizes, very fresh and high quality ingredients, fast service. Plus the Asian market downstairs is great!

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for almost 20 years and Rice has been one of the best parts of living here. I was pretty upset when their sister restaurant DC Noodle closed, which was only one block from where I live. Tonight I ventured a few extra blocks and was reminded of how much I love Rice, too.

It’s delicious, the place is very cool, and now there’s a fantastic Asian market in the basement where I can stock up on things I can’t buy at regular markets in the area. The staff has always been professional and friendly to me. Tonight I had red curry and the fried snapper filet. The fish was a little over cooked but the sauce is so good! The red curry is reliable. The green tea margarita was tasty too.
