Sweet Rice Lao-Thai Eats — Restaurant in Sulphur Springs

Read through the reviews and was curious to see a lot of first time reviewers commenting on wait times or prices. If you're eating out in downtown Sulphur Springs, this is great for price. $12-16 on average. If you're looking for good quality meals downtown at cheaper prices than that in this economy, unfortunately, you're fooling yourself. Some meat and veggie dishes look smaller because it comes with a big portion of white rice. Mixed together you get a good amount of food. Noodle dishes are massive and tasty. My family and I have tried 4 different noodle dishes, steak with peppers, fried rice, pho, spring rolls, etc. Never disappointed. Gives you a great change of pace from other restaurants in the area. Good for a healthier or gluten free/dairy free options as well! Also OPEN ON MONDAYS. Not just meat and bread. As for wait times, they're trying to hire and struggling to find people it seems. Theyre busy at meal times when ive gone and i see a lot of smiling faces, including the waiter who has a fantastic handlebar mustache. So be patient! Small indoor space with about 6 tables but plenty of seating outside with heaters when it gets cold.

For quality, price, and flavor, one of the best international...

Wanted a low key dinner for myself and I always enjoy Thai food. I knew when I walked in the door that I probably picked wrong. It did not have any indicators of a traditional Thai restaurant. I would have snuck out but…there’s only 6 tables in the whole place and I was standing in the middle of them all. There were 3 of the 6 tables occupied so I thought maybe it’s not so bad. I sit down and order red curry and Thai tea. The tea was what I expected, but the curry was rough. It had an overwhelming tomato flavor and a chalky aftertaste. It did not have any sweetness from coconut milk at all. I really enjoy the sweet and spicy of red curry. This was not curry. There was a young man vaping right next to me, not the end of the world, but I wouldn’t do it. I’m not a resident of Sulphur Springs so I am not sure what is allowed or socially acceptable. Just didn’t seem like the place for it in such a small restaurant. I couldn’t tell if he was an employee or just hanging out. The server was very nice but definitely reflected the “laid back” attitude of Sweet Rice. May be a cool chill spot for young people but not what I was hoping for when I decided...

Our first time to visit, we stopped at about 4:15 in the afternoon, and tried out the place. The service was excellent, our choices on sauces and spice levels were explained well. We started with 2 appetizers, the egg rolls , and the fried pork riblets. Standard pre made. Egg rolls, most of the riblets were over cooked, tough to eat. Our meals were ok, we had the Thai spicy chicken, and the pepper steak. With a side order of fried rice. If that was their standard fried rice. I would not recommend it. It looked like the Jasmin rice I sent back was thrown on the grill and cooked with soy sauce. No flavor and no other ingredients in the rice. No veggies, no eggs, nothing just the $3.00 upcharge for substitution. We will give it another chance one day during dinner hours to see if that was a bad day. But honestly I'm not going to be in a hurry to go back. Again great service nothing against the young lady that waited on us. Issues are with the product being sold....
