Description

Rice Violet delivers generous, fresh Thai fare with authentic flavors and plentiful vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. Standouts include crispy samosa bags, drunken noodles, pad see ew, and seafood curries; portions are large and ideal for sharing or takeout. The dining room is pleasant with roomy booths, though decor could use updating. Service is warm and knowledgeable but can slow during peak pre-show crowds—drinks sometimes arrive late. Convenient downtown location near the Palladium and parking, BYOB policy compensates for lack of on-site alcohol.

The tofu dishes were delightful, and the Thai iced tea was excellent! The portion sizes are very reasonably priced, and the staff is wonderful too!

We have gotten take-out delivery from Rice Violet a few times. Their food is very good ! I reccommend eating there or taking out. Spicy Rice, Spicy noodles with chicken was very good. Tea was very good still hot when delivered. Crab rangoons are very good. Overcooked (Burn't) 1x, had to throw out the whole order. That is my only complaint. Chicken Satay is very good. Pineapple fried rice is also tasty. Beef dish was very good to ! I like that they deliver to ! Will keep going.

The food deserves 4 stars because it tends to be a bit on the sweeter side, particularly the Pad Thai. However, the beef cashew nut dish is a must-try as it truly captures the authentic Asian flavors. The portion sizes are also enormous; three main courses would likely be enough for four average diners. The service is outstanding, earning a solid 5 stars! The dining experience was wonderful, thanks to the attentive and incredibly friendly staff. They are knowledgeable about the menu, provide excellent recommendations, keep the atmosphere tidy, and go above and beyond to accommodate your needs!

During my recent trip to Worcester, I discovered this restaurant while out for my morning run, conveniently located near my hotel. I decided to stop by for lunch, and I absolutely loved it! I ordered the seafood curry and a Thai iced tea. The food was excellent; the curry was spot on and just to my taste! The portion size was more than sufficient for me as well. The Thai iced tea was perfect too—not too sweet, just the right balance of flavor. I definitely plan to return here when I visit Worcester with my family in the next couple of months.
