Ordered takeout, and I would say the food is solid but I will probably not be back for anything besides sushi. The curry doesn't have a ton of flavor and is a bit too sweet for my liking. The price is really affordable though and it comes with rice. The crab rangoons are not my favorite either but my boyfriend liked them. Something about the filling just tastes off and is not very enjoyable in my opinion, although it's not inedible. Finally, the sushi is actually really good and well prepared.Not a bad choice but there is much better out there.

I ordered from here late at night through Uber Eats. The portion itself was good and I liked that there was a good amount of vegetables. However, it tasted bland and dry. It was like as if the noodles were cooked with very little sauce. It was bad. Also I found a small thin metal wire (probably from the stapler) in my food. It stabbed my gums and I was bleeding. I won't be ordering from here again.

I ordered chirashi from here for dinner. Each piece of fish was sliced so thinly it was practically see through. This would not have been an issue if they had given multiple slices of each type of fish, but no. All you get is one tiny slice of each fish. I order chirashi from different restaurants as a way to gauge the quality of offerings and this was easily the worst I've had in Chicago.

Good Thai option in the area! I've been trying to find a reliable Thai option in the 'hood and I think I may have found it in Rice Cafe. My advice is skip the sush, stick with the Thai.Their crab rangoon is a bit different than what you may be used to as it's more Thai style. It's little deep fried dumplings with a thinner crisp on them and you get 5 little guys for $5. The filling is delicious and it's a great starter.The lime chicken is a dish I'd skip from Rice Cafe. This may just be my personal preference so take it with a grain of salt. I didn't think it had much flavor and it was just way overloaded with cilantro - too much so for my liking. Pad See Ew from Rice Cafe is one of the best I've had in awhile. Chicken was perfect, noodles were perfect and the dish was packed full of tasty flavor.I also ordered a few veggie maki rolls which were not half bad but weren't anything too amazing. Delivery was right on time, you can order through GrubHub, food is good and prices are very reasonable. I'll be back, Rice Cafe, oh yesh, I'll be back.

Thai and Japanese in the same restaurant? That's a first for me. Usually it's Chinese/Japanese or Korean/Japanese, but it's not like anybody has any exclusives on combo cuisines.Used a Groupon, and was cautiously optimistic that this place would be merely sufficient. To my surprise, it exceeded my expectations in every area. I was leery with the restaurant not being full on a Saturday at dinner, but I was seated right away.I brought the wife and kids, ordered some Pad See Ew with beef (non-spicy - they even asked!) along with five different rolls - A Tell of Two Tunas (isn't it supposed to be Tale?), spicy scallop, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, and spider.The kids devoured the Pad See Ew. Crisp broccoli (not overcooked) with noodles that were not cooked to mush. Thank you! All the rolls were fantastic. My little toddler insisted on having one of our rolls, and I gave her a piece of shrimp tempura. It ended up being a bit spicy for her, so she went back to eating her Thai food. A few minutes later, the sushi chef came to our table with a plate of shrimp tempura without any spicy mayo in it. He made it specifically for my daughter, because he saw that she had an adverse reaction to the spicy roll we gave her. WOW! How attentive and nice of him! It was on the house as well. We did not ask for this, and we were just so happy that we were being tended to like this. It was so special.Hands down, this is one of the top five sushi places in Chicago for the service alone. The quality of the sushi and the Thai we ordered is on par with some of the best we've had in the city. We will certainly be back.

We walked in around 2pm for a late lunch and were the only folks there. It had been ages since we visited this restaurant and by the looks it was under new management. The kids were super starved so we ordered chicken satay, Tomyom soup and soft shell crab for appetizers. The entrees were chicken padthai and basil chicken with extra bow of rice ($2).Everything was excellent and would have tried sushi but was skeptical because of lack of crowd which is good reason to ponder on the freshness of the fish. A few other people trickled in while we were eating. The decor is minimalistic but quite nice.Will most certainly go back!!

Our favorite place for sushi and noodle take out! Always a 10/10! Great customer service too. Once our food was delivered and we immediately got a call that they accidentally added tomato to a dish we asked for without tomato (not a big deal). They realized their mistake before we even opened our food and gave us a refund for the dish!
