Our Guestbook
“ Our sever was fantastic! We were never without anything, he was right on top of things. The food was delicious and they accommodate vegan and gluten free. The prices were great. This is our new spot- customer service was incredible, food was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful visit! ”
“ The family who owns this restaurant is so sweet and fully aware of vegan/vegetarian dietary needs. (The owner’s daughter spoke at length about operating in Oregon for so many years and getting versed in veg dietary needs there before relocating to Oak Harbor.) Her mother, the owner, herself was vegetarian for many years, tooShe mentioned that sauces etc are made to order, so for many menu items it is easy to omit offending ingredients. We got the fresh rolls, fried tofu, jasmine fried rice, pad woon sen, and Thai iced tea w/coconut milk on our visit. All delicious! If you can’t handle spicy, order your food zero stars, as the spice rating starts at “spicy” (1 star) and goes to “Thai spicy” (4 star). ”
“ I've had masumam curry in many Thai restaurants but the way Sweet Rice makes it is the best I've ever had. I'm serious. It's really smooth, creamy, smokey, browned fatty meat, and perfectly spiced. It was deliiiicious! We ate there for the first time recently and the waiter admitted to totally forgetting to put in our order. So our food didn't come out for like 40 minutes. However they comped our entire meal, including drinks (which I was not expecting!) and were extremely apologetic. Mistakes happen, it was a busy nice, and waiting tables requires tremendous multi-tasking. They know how to rectify a mistake and still give customers a great experience. I thought that was very generous of them (most restaurants would just comp the appetizer and drinks). Guess it was my lucky day! This restaurant is deserving of a five star review for kind staff and outstanding food. We'll be back! ”
“ Very good not a ridiculous amount of food the portions are perfect and the food is not heavy. Got the pineapple curry with shrimp. ”
“ Friendly service. Clean tables, seats, bathrooms, etc. Fresh and hot food with just the right heat as you'd expect if you'd sampled any Thai food previously. *Edit add-on* 8/11/22. Spring rolls, Pad Thai and Curry was flavorful and hot. I've tried Thai and Curry from east coast US heading west to Japan and this is as good as I've had anywhere. First time wife was here and said it's better than the most recent Thai restaurant we frequented. Still 5*! ”
“ Sweet Rice is an amazing place to grab great Thai dishes and cocktails. I went for a late lunch yesterday after work, and the food was so good. First of all, the cocktail had fresh ginger in it and was so delicious. It was not too sweet and not too bitter. The Vegetable Delight with chicken was really yummy - so many vegetables. I was debating between a 2 and 3 heat level - the waiter advised that it was jalapeno-level, and that was perfectly accurate. I think I could definitely handle a 3 next time. Thank you for a delicious meal! ”
“ The best restaurant we ate at in Oak Harbor. We tried several dishes and enjoyed them all. We would have been back a second time had they been open on Sunday. Good fine! ”
“ The most delicious yellow curry and fried rice. Very clean atmosphere and wait staff was on their "A" game. Will be back again. ”
