Red Rice Kitchen - Gainesville

The staff is friendly, the service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious! We highly recommend trying their chicken wings, they are fantastic! Personally, I always choose the coconut rice with chicken, as it never disappoints. The salmon clay pot is also incredibly tasty. This restaurant is a perfect spot for a romantic date night.

I absolutely adore the Thai food at this restaurant! The staff are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere feels authentic. They have a wide selection of noodle and rice dishes, ranging from $10-$15 each. I tried the pad kee mao and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fantastic and it was one of the best I've ever had. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the noodles were excellent as well. I believe you can't go wrong with any dish on the menu here.

I typically give this restaurant 4.5 stars, but on this visit I can only give it 3. I ordered the Vietnamese crispy rolls, which were very good, and the Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Clay Pot, which was disappointing because it was extremely salty. I understand that fish sauce is used in the flavoring, but the saltiness should not overpower the entire dish. I also couldn't detect any spiciness in the dish at all. Maybe I got a bad batch? If the dish is supposed to be overly salty, please let me know so I can adjust my rating. I have been here before and everything I've tried was delicious, so I was surprised by my experience this time. The iced coffee was also very good.

My favorite Asian place in the city! they are very consistent and always delicious. the menu is quite large for the size of the place and I feel like it is a hidden gem. I often come here and when I look to get my food, the owner recognizes me and says hello. it reminds me of a cozy, lively place in a big city somewhere. they even keep food for supplies extra hot by using tin foil.

A star for red rice kitchen, because zero star is no option. seufzt worst! what an insult for authentic Vietnamese tonpot reis. the rice was old, dry and sticky. it was not even properly heated. After a spoon I asked about something soned to add taste and make the dish less dry, but he could not really help. I asked him to take the food back because it was illegitimate. he said they already cooked this, so he gave me a 50 birthday discount on my reception. a customer at the other table asked me to see my eating. When I approached the table, the owner stood before me and told me that I shouldn't harass his customers, even though he said that I didn't harass him. the owner cried us further when we took out. then he followed my daughter and I outside and asked us to leave as we tried. he continued to harass us, so we asked him to come back, or I would call the cops he said to call the bulls. I hope we were not treated as such because our skin color. the other two tables got steaming hot dips and exceptional service in contrast to us. now I'm taking care of our security, because he recorded us, our card and our credit card information.
