Jasmine Rice - Rittenhouse

Jasmine Rice is consistently the best Thai food in the area. It has the best Lemongrass Soup I've ever eaten, and their Green Curry is equally delicious. Prices are very reasonable, and service is great and quick. A must try!

I ate every bite! The food was delicious but the servings weren't very large. Which, in a way, I guess allows you to try more things! Service was quick and the restaurant was quaint and unassuming. It's on a nice quiet little block and easy to get to after you find parking.

Went here for the first time during Center City Restaurant Week and had a good experience.Everyone that dined there for the day had to do the Multi-Course special (they did four instead of three). For my dining experience, I got the Green Curry Mussels, Chicken Lettuce Wraps and a curry salmon dish. Everything was served in good timing, tasty, fresh and served in good portion sizes. I would be interested in going back to try some other dishes.

Came here during restaurant week: for $40 you could've gotten a starter, a soup or salad, a main dish and a dessert or beverage other than water. I had the salt and pepper shrimp rolls as my starter, spicy shrimp salad, bourbon beef as my main dish and decided to opt out of the dessert and had a sprite instead. The shrimp rolls were good on its own, but better once it was dipped in the sauce they came with. The curry sauce with the bourbon beef was absolutely delicious and probably my favorite part of the meal. The place is small and cozy & the tables are pretty close to each other, but luckily the place wasn't completely full. The staff is attentive but they only have one person that checks people in and takes the orders. Everyone else either bring out the dishes or clean up the tables once people are done. I will say, this is usually out of my comfort zone, which is why I like restaurant week because it pushes me to try new places.

Restaurant week $20 lunch brought us to this jewelbox on 16th St. For starters tried the papaya salad (nice dressing) and spring rolls (crispy and hot), followed by the beef dish (starch heavy with potatoes AND rice) and the shrimp pad thai (light on the shrimp). Dessert was a bit of a bummer -- coconut custard OR iced tea. WIth only one wait staff it is a bit slow on food delivery. Tables are well spaced and there was a friendly vibe.

I would give it a lower rating if I could. I went with a friend for restaurant week 2 years ago and it was the worst service and food I've had in a while. The food is super bland and feels like the person making it is severely overworked. It took almost 3 hours to get all three of our restaurant week courses, which we only ate about half of. Please save your time and money.

This was a visit out of our norm and we're glad we did it! It inspired me to try everything I normally wouldn't get just looking at what was available for restaurant week.I had the crispy spring rolls, lemongrass soup, and drunken duck. Spring rolls were good, just needed more of the sauce on the side. My girlfriend had the shrimp rolls, and together they're pretty good with the sauce. I'd opt for the shrimp instead on next visit.Lemongrass soup was a seafood like soup, muscles. Shrimp, mushrooms, and a ton of flavor, this would be a repeat item.The drunken duck was good, it was poultry so it kind of tasted like chicken but at the same time doesn't hold the same flavors as chicken. The skin was crisp just right but not too the point it would cause the inside to be overly chewy. I would opt for the beef and potatoes with peanuts next time however.The customer service was awesome, great thing restaurant week is, to get us out exploring new places.

Dined here for lunch with coworkers during restaurant week and we all could not stop saying how incredible our food was. 10/10!Service was amazing. The husband and wife are the absolute sweetest, appreciative and very attentive.I ordered the papaya salad, shrimp green curry and tropical pearls. EVERYTHING was delicious! The papaya salad was refreshing, crunchy and tasty. The shrimp green curry was everything + more. Perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The tropical pearls were delicious and made me want to drink the milk up.My other coworker tried the crispy spring rolls, beef pad see ew and homemade coconut custard. She also gave everything a 10/10 with zero complaints.We all plan on returning here for dinner!

I heard really great things about Jasmine Rice and unfortunately I have to disagree with those great reviews. I think the food would have been good if I could taste it. The spice scale at this restaurant is very skewed. I worked at a Thai restaurant for 4 years and I've grown to learn where my spice tolerance is when dealing with Thai cuisine. I can tolerate a higher level of spice, but not Thai hot.I ordered a 3/5 spice level, thinking it would be medium. It was definitely not medium. It tasted like Thai hot. My friend ordered a dish with 1/5 spice and it was too spicy for her. It was impossible to eat the food because of how spicy they made it! They also messed up on my husband's dish, but they were willing to replace it.

My partner and I grabbed lunch at Jasmine Rice for the first time during Restaurant Week. The place is a few blocks away from Rittenhouse Park, away from the main hullabaloo. It's not a big restaurant, so making a reservation won't hurt if you plan to go during typical peak dining hours. We enjoyed the papaya salad appetizer, which was a bright and refreshing start to the meal. For entrees, I got the shrimp pad kee mao (decent; spice level is very mild). The stars of the show for my tastebuds were the papaya salad and the dessert, the homemade coconut custard. It's warm and not too sweet - an instant fave and the perfect conclusion to lunch. My partner also enjoyed the thai tea and downed it pretty much instantly. Overall we had a lovely time here and look forward to coming back!I recommend stopping by Jasmine Rice for its cozy ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food.
