The Server was attentive. The food was delicious. It came so fast. And the 3 sauces on the cart I’m still thinking about at home. I even called to ask what the name of the one chili sauce was. I’m still looking for it! The atmosphere was quiet and clean. They also had customized dishes like Violet rice, spicy basil pad Thai, and lion noodles.

Every time I eat here, either take out or in restaurant, the food is outstanding!! Consistently great! It's a casual atmosphere and the service is always excellent. My favorites are the red curry and the basil combo with chicken. And I always get the rice violet instead of the boiled white rice. Favorite apps are pork dumpling and crab rangoon. Sooo good. Favorite soup is the Tom Yum. Highly recommend you try this place for great Thai food.Vegetarian options: Most of the dishes can be ordered vegetarian style.
Standard Thai food, a lot of options and customization as far as meat/seafood/vegetarian options. My favorite part of our meal was probably the sampler appetizer platter, which has a bunch of (mostly fried) items and 3 sauces. The lad nar was filling and flavorful. Some of the seafood in the pad see-u lacked seasoning and was hard to chew, however there were plenty of noodles and veggies to make up for it. The Thai tea was less sweet than some other places I’ve tried, which is preferable for me. Our server was really helpful and talked us through the flavors of a few of the dishes we have never tried before. I think I’d come back to try something else.
I mostly get take out from here, and it is the best thai in Worcester. Their sister restaurant in West Boylston, Brown Rice, is also really good.

Rice Violet used to be a consistent 'go-to' when I was attending college in Worcester! To this day, I continue to stop at Rice Violet as I pass through MA. Highly recommend to those looking for great Thai!

I've dined here a bunch of times and the food is great. The last time I went I waited 45 mins for my food before asking to have it boxed up to go. With 5 mins before I had to be back to work I asked to cancel the order because I had to leave and get back to work and there was no apology and the explanation they gave me was unreal. Also watched two other tables come in after me and order and eat. And to the owner, if you see a guest with an empty drink, maybe offer a refill. I understand places are short staffed but one simple dish shouldn't take over 45 mins to make.

The place was jammed and people were going in and out with take out orders so I waited until the rush was over and went in for a sit down bite to eat! Service was quick and to the point! The pricing was on par with most establishments serving Thai food but the portion was huge! I had the Basil Pad Thai with Shrimp with peanut sauce on the side and it was delicious!!! I ate a large portion of my meal and still left with a large portion to take home and the server gave me more peanut sauce which I reheated the next morning and the freshness of the food was evident!!!!

Our favorite pad thai in Worcester. Their sauces are made in-house. Satay chicken is also baller.
