Rice Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Gulfport

DO NOT LET THE LOCATION STOP YOU!

Okay, so it's in a tough neighborhood. You know what brings all walks of life together? Great food! And that's exactly what Mike and Tia are doing at what might be one of the best places to eat anywhere in South Mississippi.

All you need to know is that Rice is AMAZING! Rice Thai Cuisine is ran by the friendliest people! But one of the owners and Head Chef is Tia. She's a native Thia, and sources fresh local ingredients to make the dishes her family makes back home. Rice is fast to bring you your food, but its not fast food. You can taste the love in every dish that come out of Tia's kitchen.

Since my first visit over a year ago, I haven't been able to stop going! I’ve had the shrimp Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mow, and both the crispy and fresh spring rolls. The hot-and-sour soup is unlike anything you've aver tried and comes free with the lunch specials. You could literally just ask for anything, you'd be happy with what you get.

This is authentic Thai food like nowhere else on the Coast. They offer dine in (a small but clean space), take out, or delivery through all the food delivery apps.

Stop looking and order. They are...

This is the best kept secret on the Gulf Coast! It was such a pleasure to be greeted by friendly smiles and great customer service. Food is off the charts...fresh and delicious. Others mention they serve smaller portions, but I disagree. I purchased the Green Curry Chicken Soup (large, so that I could eat on it a few days). Soup is to die for! What an explosion of flavor! I also bought the Pineapple Fried Rice. Wow! Nice sized pineapple chunks and tons of fresh veggies and meat! There’s no way I can eat it all. I also purchased the Spring Rolls which came with two dipping sauces (my favorite is the Peanut Sauce)! Everything I ordered was bursting with flavor and not way too hot...it was just right. Those that say their food is pricey..., well, you pay for what you get. I would rather roll my money into a family owned business that is authentic with fresh foods and wonderful flavors than a chain restaurant that’s...Meh. I wish them all the success in the world! I’ll be back again, and again, and again. You won’t be sorry if you give them a chance....

First time landing in Gulfport and I'm starving. I instantly searched for Thai food and the moment I pulled up, I knew I was in for a treat with top notch food!

The owner was behind the counter. He is incredibly friendly and provides great information and recommendations. Their menu isn't too big but their options are great. I went with a new dish I have never had before while my friend went with their Pad Thai. You always know it is going to be good Thai food if they make Pad Thai great.

The flavors were there today!!! The first bite punched my taste buds to wake them up and let them know they are about to have the time of their life. I sweat afterwards I could even smell and see better! (Joking, but it was seriously super good!)

If I ever end up back in Gulfport this will be the first place I visit...
