“ What an amazing experience! The restaurant was spacious and beautiful, the wait staff were accommodating and efficient, and the food was delicious, reasonably priced, and largeportioned! My partner and I ordered the spicy basil pad thai, khao soi, vegetarian dumplings, summer rolls, and mango sticky rice, all of which were excellent! Im usually not much for going out to eat these days owing to high prices and low quality, but Rice Violet showed me again what a great dining experience could be. ”

“ This was our second time eating Rice Violet this week. We did pickup on Monday, and it was soooooo good but I didnt take any photographs. On Thursday, the restaurant we had planned to go to was closed, so we decided to dine in at Rice Violet. This was our first time going in person and it will not be the last. We have ordered delivery many times, and they have always knocked it out of the park. Our dine in experience did not disappoint. We had great service and great food. Items in the photographs include Thai Iced Tea, Summer Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Crazy Noodles with Shrimp, and the Seafood Curry. Based on this experience and all of our past orders, I highly recommend this restaurant. We loved everything about both Mondays and Fridays meals. ”
“ We were Thai and looked for Thai restaurant. I found Rice violet that has authentic Thai foods.We ordered spicy salmon and Three flavored fish which were so good .we couldnt decide the appetizer coz it had many dishes that look delicious. So, we decided to order violet sampler that combines various of Chicken satay, roll, coconut shrimp , etc.We had a good time here. The service is very good . The servers gave a good take care of us . Definitely, we will come back again!!! ”
“ Went here for dinner with a couple of friends and had the Thai spicy beef salad. It did not disappoint! We also shared the tom yum soup to start our meal, and it, too, was delicious. Ill definitely be back to try their larb gai, pad kee mao, and mango curry, to name just a few. We went on a quiet weeknight, so paid street parking was plentiful. That probably would change if the Palladium nightclub nearby had an event. Overall, the food is definitely worth a visit! ”
“ Recently tried this place for the first time and went back again the same week! The food is yummy and inexpensive. A major plus is the servicethe quickest Ive ever experienced. The staff are also nice. I had nooo complaints either time I visited. The samosa pockets are delicious! I had the Worcester volcano purple rice only the first time I went and ordered it again the second time. 100 recommend. ”
