I had the most lovely experience dining at Rice Violet before attending a show at the Palladium. It was right down the street, so I figured it would be perfect, and it was even better than my expectations. I wasn't sure what to get, so the waitress helped me pick out the Massaman. When it came out, I was pleasantly …

The service and the food here are excellent! We're not from the area, but have been here 2x now. We love it!

I had a pleasant time dining in at Rice Violet this evening. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and food was good! They are very generous with portions here and offer a wide variety of options on the menu, including many vegetarian appetizers and entrees. Tonight we ordered the Spicy Basil Pad Thai and Three-Flavor Tilapia dish which tasted …

I went with a group of friends - we ordered the crab rangoon and veggie dumplings (steamed) as an appetizer. Both were very good, but the crab rangoons were my favorite. For the meal, I ordered beef Pad See-U and the Thai tea lemonade. The lemonade was sweet and tasted a bit like honey. The beef in the pad see …

Rice Violet is a gem of a restaurant in downtown Worcester. The staff is friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. I eat here with my family often and we’re never disappointed. The veggie appetizer sampler is yummy especially the mini samosas and the dumplings. You can’t go wrong with any of the soups, curries and other entrees.

Margarita Fisher

This place definitely has some authentic Thai recipes on their menu. I had papaya salad and violet special - effectively chicken krapow. The papaya salad was good spiciness, a bit too many peanuts to my taste and was served with sticky rice while for the price I’d rather see it served with couple shrimp. Chicken krapow was delicious, good spicy …

Dave N.

This is our first time eating here. It is a charming restaurant. The service was excellent and tentative. There are familiar Thai dishes and some unique dishes. We ordered steamed veggie dumplings based on recommendation, and they were delicious. We had Broccoli combinations and massaman curry. They were very tasty with the right amount of seasoning. The food came out …

Nguyen Huynh

I’ve been to Rice Violet twice and was impressed both times. The food is absolutely delicious, clean, and full of flavor — with generous portions for a great price ($13–$21). The Thai lady who helped us was so friendly and gave great recommendations. The service is fast and warm, and the dishes arrive hot and fresh till the last bite.

Ravi Krishnamoorthy

Great tasting food! Good ambience. Tofu crisp outside and silky inside yum! Great vegetarian options and servers carefully confirm your dietary needs. Cashew nut pineapple curry is the best!
