This Thai culinary adventure at the restaurant was a symphony of exquisite flavors. The Imperial Crab Spring Rolls, crispy and bursting with crab goodness, set the tone for a delightful meal. The Thai Fish Cake delivered a perfect blend of aromatic herbs and succulent fish, leaving a lingering taste of authenticity. The Green Mango and Fish Salad was a refreshing interlude, combining the zing of green mango with the delicate flavors of fish. The Soft Shell Crab with Thai-styled Salt and Pepper was a crispy revelation, perfectly seasoned to elevate the natural sweetness of the crab. Moving on to the mains, the Beef Massaman Curry was a rich and aromatic delight, while the Crispy Pork with Chinese Broccoli offered a satisfying contrast of textures. The Pad Thai with Prawn was a standout, with the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. The Roti with Homemade Satay Sauce provided a delightful respite, the warm, flaky bread complementing the savory richness of the satay. Accompanied by Coconut Rice, each grain infused with coconutty goodness, the meal reached new heights. As a sweet conclusion, the Mango Ice Cream, Coconut Ice Cream, Black Sticky Rice, and Banana Dumpling were a quartet of desserts that showcased the diverse and delectable offerings of Thai sweets. The culinary experience was heightened by the attentive staff and the cozy ambiance, making this restaurant a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and memorable Thai dining experience. Unfortunately, the coconut and Banana fritter wasn't available...but I'm looking forward to trying that out next time, along with the honey chicken and tom yum soup!

I've been coming here for the past 10 months, at least once a month. The flavours here are very authentic and rich! We've tried a lot of things on the menu, however, our favourites are the Beef Masaman Curry and the Mango Chili Fish. They have been slowly upgrading the restaurant and it is now very cozy. Strangely, on our most recent visit, they seem to have had a change of policy where you must get your own drinks. I was about to ask for a Coke when the server cut me off and said that I need to get drinks myself. The strange part is they will serve you water which comes from the same fridge. It's nothing serious, but it was just a strange experience.

Ordered takeaway from Sweet Rice & the food was delicious! Highly rate the pineapple fried rice and they included a generous amount of prawns. Pad thai & chicken mince lettuce salad also very yummy. I mentioned i am allergic to peanuts, so they gave me cashews in a seperate container to substitute which i loved. Thankyou!

BEWARE! These guys are a joke at delivery. My meals were delivered 45 minutes late, and cold! I ordered and scheduled delivery at 5.30pm. I called them at 5.45pm, was told "we got your order and usually we deliver within 30 minutes of schedule". Called them again at 6pm, was told "delivery guy is on the way" (it takes literally 5' from my place to their restaurant!). Called again at 6.15pm, was told "he should be really close". 6.20pm, the delivery guy arrived. Food appeared cold. Way to ruin an evening.

  • Mikaela Donges

Great and fast dinner option. I ordered some take away. The food was well made and delicious. We ordered laksa(on special at the time...should make it part of the menu!), pad Thai and chicken satay skewers, with some black rice pudding. Only complaint was that the pad Thai seemed quite small? Otherwise, friendly service and good food for a good price. Will come back for sure. The restaurant has a nice, inviting, warm but clean layout. (Might eat in next time, to save using plastic take aways.!)

  • tam huynh

Long time regular but most recent visit was a little disappointing. Food wasn't as good as it used to be. Curry is great. Fish cakes very nice. Dumplings reasonably nice. But Pad Thai was so soggy we were unable to eat it. Little disappointing. Hopefully it was just a once off. Will come back again to see.

  • Dean Camilleri

I absolutely love this place, it’s hands down the best Thai food in ten area and my favourite take out food that is close to my home in Altona Nth. It’s difficult because Altona nth has a very limited paces for take out or even restaurants so definitely check this place out if your close. I will say that the dine in food it’s better than the take away, there are a few variations on the dishes depending on if you dine in or take away.

  • Ral Cal

Found this place by accident after getting a bad haircut at Altona gate. I don't live in the area but would travel from Sunshine to eat here. Great Thai food. Had the apple soft shell crab, green curry, and pork/broccoli dish and enjoyed it with my wife. Interesting menu. I'll be back to try more. The boss lady running the show offers great service : )

Went on Thursday night with a group of 10, only one other couple in the place, the staff were minimal and were concentrating more on takeaway than us , eventually our orders were taken and food was excellent, waitering was a bit lax though…we were constantly moving dirty dishes to accomodate food…

  • Lana Golja

Overpriced, shocking delivery service... not worth your money! I placed an order for delivery... after an hours wait my food arrived.. cold. My chicken satay skewers were less than half filled with chicken.. and they are priced at $8.90! I opened the container which had a chicken stirfry in it... It was only half full. The practically tasteless Tom Kha soup contained a mere 3 slivers of chicken. Not impressed to say the least.

  • thiyagu d

Food wise I can give 4 stars, but the service is worst. We went 8.30 pm and finish at 9.20pm. while we having good they started mopping the floor for closing. And the waiter is just waiting at the table until I finish my last spoon of my meal to get my plate to washing. Ridiculous and no manners in serving. Even though the food is good, I am not prefer to go back here, because of worst service.

  • Laura Morton

We ordered the salt and pepper calamari and the stir fried chicken with satay sauce and a serve of coconut rice. The food was delicious and fresh and plenty for two of us sharing dishes The staff were lovely and the service was excellent. We also tried the mango ice cream which was beautiful All up $57 for two of us including drinks I was impressed and will definitely go back again

  • Rico Ace

Although their food is good their online ordering is soooo frustrating! Tried multiple times to order using their online page always with the same error, which kills the entire process making you start over again from the beginning. Staff taking orders over the phone won’t honour any of the promotions and discounts they offer online - just give up and go order elsewhere!

  • Michael Mann

I have eaten here many times and the food is always delicious! Today, I was taking my dog for a walk and a thoughtful staff member brought out some water for him. Simple rule in life. ANYONE who loves animals is a good person. This. Also having great food! Definitely have a lazy takeaway (or dine-in) dinner any night of the week.

  • Akash Devasar

Simple and very utility type food. A very mediocre standard compared to many other Thai restaurants. Whilst the staff are friendly and the premises is clean, the food doesn’t keep me wanting more or even wanting to return for that matter. Not the worst choice around but definitely not a go to.

  • R J Horton

Combination green curry, delicious flavour. But only a few pieces of chicken & beef. No pork or seafood & very little vegetables. Rice serve abit too small.

  • JA GAJAAA HAAA

it was the most great and valuable take away food i ever experienced. the food was extremely good and so tasty. i am a big fan of Thia food and went to all around Melbourne. None of them was good as this however the price is so fantastic. I hope that the business owner open more shop.

  • Michael James

Had the Tom Ka Prawn Soup takeaway on Saturday 19th May. Will be my first and last meal here. The soup was putrid. I had a small taste test to see if it tasted as bad as it looks, and it did. It looked like water down milk with a few vegies and prawns. Go elsewhere for your Thai food.

  • Sanderson Morais

92 minutes it took from ordering to delivery. Tom Kha was way too hot therefore inedible and the food in general felt like there was not love put into it. We have ordered from this place a few time before and the food was better each time. Not tonight, sorry guys. Disappointed.

  • Bridge B

Fabulous food always! Sweet Thai Rice never disappoints! The coconut rice is by far the BEST I’ve ever had compared to others I’ve tried…They always have ‘special offers’ that are enticing too… Thank you so much for your great service, delicious food and prompt delivery!

  • Jigari Orduri

It seems that everything I try on this menu is AMAZING! Massaman Beef is a crowd pleaser. Pad Thai with prawns is a heart stopper. Honey Chicken sublime. I have never had a bad meal from here and doubt I ever will. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to sweet rice!!

  • Elizabeth

Terrible.. no flavour in the lemongrass stirfry dish. Quite watery. I also ordered the hokkien noodles with vegetable where I also added prawns to the dish. It was terrible. The vegetables was carrots and fried onion. Was very bland. Quite disappointed overall

  • Brad T

I ordered through the website. Went to collect and they hadn't received my order. Be careful when ordering through the website. From memory this has happened to me before. Should have learnt the first time.

Wonderful, authentic food and lovely service. Sweet Rice has been recommended by friends who've lived in Thailand for a long time and said this is THE place to go for good Thai food - and they were right. Highly recommended and very good prices, too.

  • CooCooMba

Keep coming back for lunch even though that it's a bit far away from my office. Delicious food, nice price, nice lady at the front, consistent product, and, unlike other places, no sign of anything unfresh or spoiled. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Milane Hughes

The vegetarian/tofu Pad Thai never disappoints! The entire menu is reasonably priced and both the quality and taste of the food is consistently good - you always know what to expect, and they always deliver! Keep up the great work Sweet Rice :)

  • Lauren Short

Tasty Thai and extremely affordable. We order direct to further support their business. Delivery is quick and easy. Restaurant dining is great too. Highly recommend all of their dishes but my favorite is Pad Thai with prawns and roti bread.

  • d bomb

Tried to order 45 mins before they close and couldn't. Been there at least once a month for years and they cant throw up a quick meal whilst they're open for a regular. Guess I'll be a regular elsewhere now, loyalty goes both ways ‍♂️ …

  • Lucine Yousif

Ordered the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli which I love so much, and rice as the side. Very reasonable pricing considering the quantity of the rice, but I do think the pork on Chinese broccoli is a little on the pricey side - still very

  • Ian Teichert

Really tasty Thai food. However we ordered the chicken wings (6 pieces) and only received 4. The $4.50 for roti and satay gets you one small round of roti. Wouldn't mind going back but this has soured the experience a bit

  • E Low

Small portions and expensive. Flavours were OK but not the most authentic Thai I’ve had. Menu was also misleading and they charged us extra for rice when it clearly says “per head”... probably wouldn’t come back again.

  • Scout Micallef

Food is mediocre. Overpriced for what it is. Staff can't follow instructions and then blame the customer; repeatedly and even on my doorstep. They don't take allergies very seriously. Menu does not list ingredients.

  • Cindy SM

2nd time I've eaten from this place. Who would have thought the burbs could have the best thai food in MELBOURNE. Big call, but absolutely delicious. We will be coming back to this place. It's one of the favs.

  • Tyson Savron

Bloody good food. Reasonably priced. Close to home too. Only complaint is the prawn tails are left on. I know it's fancy shmancy but I hate having to pick them out to rip the tails off. It's not finger food.

  • Mel M

My favourite place to order Thai from. The food is always delicious and the staff are very friendly. I love the beef massaman and the chilli jam cashew nut with chicken. Highly recommend eating here! ☺️

  • Pranav Nemade

Ordered green curry with rice. The food was just so tasty but later found out that I had a little plastic string in it. Told the waitress about it and she apologised. Wouldn't mind going there again.

  • Ken W

Authentic Thai restaurant in Altona North. The soft shell crab salad is Devine, the tom yum hits the spot and the crispy pork with Chinese broccoli satisfying. Order online and pick up is awesome!
