Rice Fine Thai Cuisine

I ate here today and it was awesome, the food was wonderful. They Cook it fresh when you order so it comes out fresh and hot. The staff was super nice and friendly.

Food was so amazing, my husband and I cook thai food at home frequently and it was just perfect. I love the fried rice it’s just like the kind I used to get from a small Korean BBQ joint in Hawaii. Amazing!

I am not one to whine and am usually extremely patient and easy-​going. Took my partner and our friends here for her birthday dinner the other night. She loves Thai and insisted we try the place out. It took about 15 minutes for the wait staff to bring us our menus after we found a seat. We never received refills except when I waved the staff down myself after not having a drink for most of the time we were there. The appetizers took forever to come, and when they did they were not what we ordered. The staff ending up getting us the right orders 15 minutes later after discovering they had been waiting on the counter the whole time, but they were still very small portions for the price. I will say that the wontons were good once they came.
While my dish– the pad wood sen — was pretty good, my friend ordered the chicken pad Thai, and after noticing he wasn’t eating we all tried a taste and boy was it over-​spiced and dry. My other friends had some curry dishes and they enjoyed them well enough, but again the servings are very small for the price. Again, the food (besides pad thai) was okay, but I recommend adding some wait staff to keep up with customers. Most of our time was spent wondering when we would receive service.

Food was delicious. We had several different items and we were all very pleased with our meals. Our waitress was very attentive and we received our appetizers and meals very quickly. Atmosphere was pleasant. Would defiantly eat here again. Keep in mind this is a Thai restaurant in Montana so it may not be up to the standards of some of the bigger city Thai restaurants I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

Ate here for the first time last night with a friend. I found it very blah. I had the Pad Wood Sen with chicken and it did not have a lot of flavor. Everything tasted the same. I give it two stars cause the service was decent and my dr. Pepper tasted like dr. Pepper.

I ate here some time ago, so I can’t recount my experience completely other than it’s not that great. One of my biggest Thai restaurant pet peeves is them using cheapy noodles that you typically find a the grocery store. I love luscious juicy generous noodles, Rice doesn’t have them. So I was disappointed and won’t be back.

My husband and I tried the chicken pad Thai and we were not impressed. The spices are not complementary and the noddles were dry. The chicken was pretty good, not very fatty at all. For the price, the quality is not there. The pictures make the portions look small but two people could share one plate.
After barely eating our pad Thai we were ready for the mango sticky rice. At first we only ordered one but this portion is smaller than the picture. We loved every bit of two sticky rices.
Service was okay. They never refilled our water and we had to tell him to take our plates when he served us the dessert.
We won’t come back for a meal but would definitely come back for dessert.

I don’t know where to begin. I can tell you about many of their meals. I LOVE RICE!
Every meal is made fresh just for you. I always thought Thai food was just spicy but there are a lot of dishes that anybody can eat. But then there are plates that can make the toughest person cry! I could eat there every single day! This is a must try for everyone!

Food is not that good and the service is even worse. Worst fresh rolls I’ve ever had; we couldn’t even finish them. We ordered the red and green curry and they were pretty average. Prices seem high for what you get. They wanted to charge us $ 2.00 extra for peanut sauce for our fresh rolls. I’ve never had fresh rolls that didn’t come with peanut sauce. I’m a huge thai food fan but this place misses the mark. So-​so food, over priced, and horrible service.

The best thai food of the city! The food was amazing! I ate a curry Gaeng pad with side jasmine rice. The flavor was great!
I recomend this restaurant!

This is good Thai food. Not my favorite throughout my entire life but, who knows what color happy memories have added to past experiences. I must explain the two most offensive complaints from reviewers:
1) Taiwan was colonized, missionized, invaded by foreign powers, whatever you want to call it, long before Europeans reached other Asian countries. They use forks and spoons. So no chopsticks.
2) Thai cuisine is based on balancing the four flavors. Changing a chef’s recipe with Sriracha is like walking into a French restaurant and asking for salt. You’re insulting the chef. So stop it.
TL;DR — excellent food, a good Thai restaurant will give you neither chopsticks, nor Sriracha.

I have been in numerous times each time varying my order to try more items. Larb gai (lettuce wraps) very spicy and delicious, chicken satay (skewers with peanut sauce) seriously to die for… that sauce! I want to dip everything in it! Love the Tom Kha Gai soup with those yummy little toadstool mushrooms. Of course always go back to the Pad Thai. Everything is carefully made and presented when in-​house…
Beware of to-​go orders! Sometimes you’ve just got to have takeout and that’s what I did my last trip in. My Pad Thai did not travel well. It seemed to have congealed into one giant lump of noodles, which when trying to dig in, ripped into a thousand tiny noodle fragments. Curry and chicken satay made it just fine and were delish.
Be careful what you order to-​go! The noodles do not hold up.

The food is delicious. Everything is always made fresh. The only complaint I have (hence three stars) is they should definitely hire MORE waitresses or waiters. This place get pretty packed, and having just one person working the floor really doesn’t cut it. Please hire another person, at least during the lunch hours.

Have been to this place a few times as work often brings me through beautiful Bozeman! The setting is cozy (exposed brick walls and such). The service is always friendly and accommodating. It’s also in a super cute part of town (downtown?) on the main drag surrounded by shops, bars, and other restaurants!
I always order the same thing: massuman curry with tofu. I love the spice, never too hot or too mild! The brown rice is always always cooked perfectly!
Others I have been with have ordered the pad dishes plus other curries and everyone is always pleased! Will definitely keep coming here… good for date night or a get together with a group of friends!

finally ventured to rice to try bozeman’s few Thai selections. I was expecting to be disappointed honestly, because most Asian restaurants in bozeman aren’t particularly awesome. but it was surprisingly good and it hit the spot.
I’m from the Bay Area and have had my share of amazing Thai food and although Rice isn’t as good as some places in the bay, it was still pretty damn good for montana standards. i tried the lard gai and chicken pad Thai and enjoyed both. the bummer is that we paid dinner prices for lunch. $ 12 per dish was a bit steep, but I would go back again!

I’m still a fan of this place. The food is usually flavorful and spicy. I’ve had the occasional disappointing dish, but this is the exception. A few lingering gripes though:
— Their takeout has been painfully slow at times, going well beyond the estimated time when the order was placed.
— They really ought to install some kind of curtain to stop the ARCTIC BLAST that will hit you if you’re dining anywhere near the entrance in the colder months.
— Would be great if they had wine or beer options.
