Sweet Rice Chicago
mc smarto · 501 Google reviewsSweet Rice Chicago — one of Bucktown's strongest thai spots. Creative without being gimmicky. Easy on the wallet, BYOB. "It was sautéed perfectly with deep pockets of flavor— the duck is tender and juicy" — Mona [$, patio]

“Cute spot with great food! Love the little waiter robot and the staff is super friendly! Definitely want to check out the patio area next time- lots of seating, lots of food to choose from but not too much where you wonder how they can serve all that😅”
“Wow what can I say?? Amazing food, relaxing vibes and above all a really cute server! Matt was so attentive and thoughtful! He spent a lot of time to walk us through the menu and gave us each personalized recommendations. Will be coming back”
“The best thai food I have EVER tasted. This place turned me into a panang curry wh0re. I can’t get over how flavorful everything was. I highly highly recommend the panang curry. The pad thai was also bangin’! We got bun, two special drinks, and two meals that stretched for a few days. WORTH 👏🏾 IT 👏🏾”
“The owners of Sticky Rice on Western and Irving are the owners of this place! They closed Sticky Rice just because they wanted a change. I was talking with one of the waiters, and the place isn't s busy as Sticky Rice was. Let's support them. Food was great! I didn't take a picture of the entrees, which was the pad see ewe and shitake beef. This is crying tiger, papaya salad and a passion fruit mango soda.”
“Got the spicy ground basil chicken and Thai fried rice and it was really delicious! The robot server is the best thing about this restaurant aside from the food.”
“Sweet Rice is a spot I routinely come back to. The Roti Karee is a personal favourite, soft and incredibly flavorful. The desserts do not disappoint, I particularly love the coconut icecream and the warm taro in coconut milk. Considering it's right off the blue line, it's convenient and won't disappoint! ✨😊”
“Amazing food and great service! Will be coming again for sure”
“Me & my gf had the pleasure of trying this restaurant one Saturday afternoon while looking for some lunch. We had a really good time here. It was very clean, easy to order, and the staff were helpful as well. We ordered several different items to share. Such as the Thom khem (pork belly) , bbq chicken over rice, Thai dessert, and some boba. Everything was delicious but my favorite had to be the bbq chicken , the sauce had the perfect amount of sweet and tangy ness.”
“Got take out and it was ready quickly with an easy ordering system. Got the honeydew yakult drink which was really good just very sweet ( little too sweet for me) We also tried the pad see ew and the basil chicken, both of which i would reccomend! Quick and easy place to grab a quick meal, they also have some lunch deal options.”
“One of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing, and every entree I’ve ever had was perfect. I had the fish satay and orange chicken. The boba is delicious and the drinks are served by a robo-kitty which is a nice touch. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and it makes me always want to go back. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. A must try, must have.”
