The rice and noodles is a amazing restaurant!! The food is really delicious and you can see how much the staff enjoys to cook! The food is really made with love and right in front of you. The atmosphere is very chill and in general everything is well organized! Very very lovely place!! Emma and Claudia ❤️❤️

Pad Thai was great! It didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked, but not bad. The service was very attentive.

The best pad Thai I’ve ever had. The ingredients, seafood, etc., are extremely fresh. The staff is friendly , smile and humorous, which is nice to see in a restaurant atmosphere that is informal . . I also have to say that the restaurant is very clean which is something that’s lacking along Lonsdale. I also love that they’re open late. Some of us work the night shifts and it’s hard to find good food into the late evening.. They seem to be busy up the end too Can’t wait to try the other noodles however I just keep ordering the pad Thai because it’s so good Try to venture to something else

First time trying this place out. Searched Thai Food near me. I asked for Tom Yum with no tomatoes 7 spice, got a curry dish it looked good had lots of spice but I said I asked for Tom Yum. The other server was really nice about fixing it but when they brought the correct soup it had tomatoes in it and practically no spice! Language barrier. No one's perfect I guess. I don't think I will come back especially when it felt like the cook just had to take a look at who got a wrong order.

Ordered take out. Food was on time and came as prepared. But the quality of the food was really disappointing. Pad Thai was bland and dry, with the chicken being particularly dry. Chicken satay skewers were basically not edible - dry and hard. Green tofu curry had decent flavor but the tofu was dry and chewy. Overall not good enough food to ever order from here again

First time happening upon Rice and Noodle and glad we decided to stop in. Super tasty fresh food, flavours are spot on. The counter service was friendly and prices are fair. I had the Laksa - spice level 3 was perfect. Definitely more flavorful than other Thai or noodle options on the Shore. We’ll be back for sure!!

★★★★★

The ambiance of the store is impressive, and the crew is warm and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed my Laksa from Rice and Noodles Restaurant, which was packed with flavors and ingredients. It was delicious and provided a satisfying experience for the price. I always order here because of the quality they offer.

We have now gotten take out 3x in a row from here so I feel like it’s safe to say that we love this place! It has been challenging to find good and reasonably priced South East Asian take out and this is so much better than what I was expecting! I feel like I’m eating the food of my childhood. So far, we’ve had just the Pineapple Fried Rice and Coconut Curry Soup and both have been fantastic! The Gyozas are also very good! I took a point off for atmosphere because I don't think this is the kind of place that is intended for dine-in anyway, but it's clean and fairly spacious for the size should you wish to stay. The food was also ready right on time and the portion size was quite generous.

Spring rolls were good , gyozas were not good. Currey sauce was good , rice and chicken were ok. Would probably try it again as the curry was pretty good. Green curry hints of coconut flavour which I like.

I ve ordered from here a few times since they first opened and I haven t had an issue until Sunday night. Some of the food was cold when it arrived, and the curry had barely any sauce - which I could ve looked past if I hadn t gotten food poisoning. I haven t been this sick in a long time and although I normally love Thai food, I won t be ordering from here ever again.

December 1, 2024

Edit: pad Thai has no flavour at all, brutal. Level 2 was spicy enough that I didn t enjoy eating it. They only put 2-3 prawns per dish. No dipping sauces included for spring rolls and gyoza. Very .meh.

The food was great but beware of the prices online... the pineapple fried rice with chicken is only $12.68 IN STORE but I got charged $18.38. The only reason why I ordered online was because nobody was picking up the phone after several attempts, I guess it was a very busy time for them. I wouldve ordered in store even being at work had it mentioned online that there is a significant price difference. Again, food tasted nice and fresh and delicious. Update: I am actually obsessed with the pineapple fried rice and order it frequently. The staff are always welcoming and friendly!

My husband and I have been regular customers at this location and we have always been so impressed with the food, and love the staff. However, we can taste the difference of the all-new culinary team in the food: something is missing. My husband s pineapple fried rice was not as tasty as usual. The rice was soft and falling apart, the veggies overcooked, and the spices weren t coming together in a balanced way. I just wanted to leave this review to encourage the new cooks to maintain the high standard we know at rice and noodle lonsdale, set by the previous kitchen team. We will continue to come in and look forward to better meals and the quality we have known for the last 3 years.

Ordered on skip, fast delivery but found the food was ok with small portions and when you add meat it was very little. Taste was ok, weve had way better. Probably wont order again unfortunately, had high hopes.

September 22, 2024

We ordered from them 2 nights in a row (identical orders) and when we received our order on the second night the containers of curry were less than half of what we had received on the previous night. The peanut sauce we received had literally been watered down. And due to the fact that it was ordered through Uber eats, there is no recourse or way to make this right. If this was the only bad experience have had with this restaurant, I may not be inclined to leave such a review. This is not the first quality control issues we ve experienced here. We will not be ordering from this restaurant again. Shameful.

September 22, 2024

I m not sure which was better - the red curry which was 1/3rd of way full in a shallow bowl or the 3 prawns they put in it. Excellent customer service - I ll be sure to recommend people eat here. Thanks

Update: asked for 10 in Tom Yum noodle soup, and is not 10. Sorry, minus one star. New update. Asked for 10 spicy, and got a 10 spicy. Thank you. Plus one star for food.

(2023 update: Ordered the chow mein again, figured itd been over 2 years, but they are consistent! Ill give em that, it was burnt again and all you could taste was a burnt stir fry, please lower your temperatures to avoid burning all your dishes, the flavour is horrible when you burn the whole dish.) (2021) Rice and noodle has pretty good pad Thai, which I previously enjoyed, but today I got the chow mein and it was soggy and burnt. As soon as I opened the box, all I could smell was burnt food. It had been stir fried so everything tasted like burnt vegetables. The noodles were fine, but as you can see from the picture, most of the veggies, if not all, were quite charred. I would still recommend the Pad Thai as its a hit, but the Chow Mein is a miss unfortunately. First time I got the pad Thai, I also found a hair in it, not ideal. I suggest hair nets to minimize chances of hair getting into the food.

I ordered for dinner through Uber Eats and instead of my order which was three items for my family they sent one rice. I called the restaurant to tell them and the woman on the phone told me they dont have delivery and I was out of luck because they had handed off the wrong order. So I called Uber who gave me a refund, but when I woke up in the morning they have charged me $2.63 for the rice they sent. I hope it was worth losing a customer.

The ambiance and food at this branch of Rice and Noodles in Lonsdale were outstanding and exceptional. A must-visit! An unforgettable experience this afternoon with exceptional service. The employees were accomodating and friendly. I suggest that you try their Laksa soup and Thai Coconut soup, its flavor and ingredients would surely make you come back!

Went to get the #6 Pineapple Fried Rice like I always do. I asked the young Man behind the counter if I could pay for some peanut sauce for my dish. He refused to serve me the condiment, stating that it only comes with the #7 meal. This is the last time Myself and my Family will spend money at the franchise location.

Haven t been to the other locations so can t compare, but the wait to receive the soup at the North Van location is quite good. We ordered the Thai Coconut and the Laksa soups. Thai coconut is definitely on a limey scale where the Laksa was very much Thai curry flavor. Both ordered in 3 peppers spice level which was perfect. The portions are very decent and we were stuffed.

First time ever coming here. Plenty of selection , I ordered the #13 Laksa with spice level 3 - which was perfect. (I enjoy really spicy flavors) but found three was good.

Yummy food, fast service, friendly staff. Their laksa is my favourite, followed by the pineapple rice. Made the mistake of ordering mild spice last time, and the dish came with way less flavour. Will definitely go for medium-hot next time to get more flavour & sauce. Vegetarian options: Easy to make most of the dishes vegetarian, just by choosing tofu or no protein.

Food is usually good, the protein choices sometimes are not the greatest. Ive tried most of their dishes and they taste really good its just the odd times that you get a bad cut of beef or chicken. Obviously not an authentic Thai restaurant, its more like a westernized Thai fast food chain.

January 22, 2024

Really bad, low quality food. The beef in dishes is absolutely atrocious! If you value yor health: DONT ORDER RICE AND NOODLE! Someone who doesnt mind chewing on hard meat nerves might disagree though...

Allow me to start by saying that this place is fantastic. Great food, friendly staff, fantastic portion size. I simply had two less than ideal experiences months apart in between years of excellent service. If you want a recommendation, this is it. You got it, absolutely go and eat here! The only problem is that the two bad experiences we had were particularly memorable. Both times the staff were extremely apologetic and gave us store credit, but the experiences were bad enough we had to stop going for months at a time. I completely and wholly recommend going, however, like I said, months of going here weekly, with no complaints whatsoever! Do not let two experiences sour you from YEARS of impeccable service. Vegetarian options: Most, if not all, dishes have options to add either a meat-based protein, tofu, or veggie medley, all fantastic.

THAI food on Lonsdale FOOD: They serve Thai food on this restaurant. Beware of the level of spice it can be too spicy for some. Always go on Pad Thai and soup. PRICE: Servings are price appropriately. But the price is if you only have cravings. You wont be eating here everyday, if you know what I mean. STAFF: Friendly and Efficient service. For dining in customers, most of it would be self service including getting your water on the dispenser. LOCATION: centrally located which means hard to get a parking spot on rush hours. A good spot on commuting customers as this is a few steps from a bus stop. If you live nearby, just walk. RECOMMENDATION: I always change what I order everytime I go. Coconut Soup is good, but safest order would be pad thai. Food services available if you want this at home.

December 22, 2023

I ordered a pineapple fried rice with no protein and it came with chicken in it. Not the end of the world but I called back to let them know and they remade it for me, and the second order also had chicken. Lol.

today i went with my wife to have dinner around 7:30, restaurant was empty and no line up, only 1 couple finishing the food at the table. ok the servter came to take our order , first of all no smile at all and not even welcoming to our place. she was in a hurry just to take our order ( its like give me your order and get lost). we did the order ( only 2 Dishes ) and we went to sit and prepare our self to have the food. i went to the washroom and in my way back i was looking to the kitchen didnt see any body preparing our food !!!!! instead everybody was cleaning inside, and not even the stove was on !!!!! was off and all the bowel was not there ... I ask the same friendly server that she help us when our food will be ready ??? she answer : it will be ready have seat !!!!! I ask again when it will be ready ? she reply 10-15 minutes ( for sure more than that ) so I had to cancel my order and get my money back , the same server said: we are cleaning the dishes because its piling up and we didnt have time to clean them !!!!! seriously !!!!!! I worked in restaurant before and i know how it works . you have to be ready till the moment youre close the door .. this is how you serve your customers , not waiting for 15 minutes your not the KEG . its not my fault that your dishes need to be washed and you need to clean the place .another server came or i dont know whats here position and cancel our order and refund the money and she was nice with smile. any way another restaurant to the black list i guess And this is North Vancouver location

They offer a really affordable meal. I usually get the Tom Yum which is only around $10. Its a good deal and fills you up. Usually I can have lots left over.

Really nice service too where they bring the food to you, although you have to go get your utensils yourself.

I am commenting as a customer and a food delivery driver. Their service and food used to be great. Lately, Ive noticed that the quality of both have been downhill. As a customer I have less concerns. Speaking for the delivery drivers, Rice and Noodle used to have amazing service 1-2 years ago. I dont know what went wrong, the current staff members doesnt seem to care. Just wanted to bring this to the Managements attention. I understand that your staff is super busy during peak hours. If so, try to find a solution rather than making your employees over work. I hope you consider this seriously.

I ve ordered the pad Thai three times and it just keeps getting better. Perfect amount of wok hei flavour. A bit on the spicy side - even medium has quite the kick. Overall, incredible pad Thai. Will keep going back.

OHMYGOD I was not expecting food to be that good. Literally I was starving and that place was relatively close so me and my family decided to eat. We ordered 2 soups and a pad Thai and its SO MUCH SOUP and so much food overall. 10/10 experience would go again. Only not amazing thing was the service that has little room for improvement but I loved it

Food is very good, I really like their coconut soup. But today I ordered it as a take out and didn t get neither a spoon nor any other cutlery and napkins. I didn t eat all day, so I was really hungry and expected to have my dinner, but this little mistake spoiled my mood It would be great if the restaurant had as good service as their food P.S. no one asked me if I need a spoon, so I thought it was there by default.

Just commenting earlier experiences with this restaurant were much, much better. Ordered last night and underwhelmed on both dishes we ve had before. Flavors were less tasty and proteins were cold. Tasted like they d been overcooked several hours previously then tossed into our orders. Maybe will try again here but heads up to management your food qualities are definitely sliding in wrong direction!

What a treat! We were quickly served and it was nice to be able to choose the degree of chili in your dish. There isnt a lot of seating, so youre not sure youll always be able to find a place. The only downside; you cant really hear the waitress with the noise of the kitchen and the music which is really loud.

I havent had anything else on the menu, but I heard the rest are good too Im gonna try them later one by one and Ill let you know Good luck

This place is a fast food style establishment with the menu carrying simplified(westernized) basic versions of some famous asian dishes. Its quick, cheap and very filling. The staff are polite and very very hardworking. The kitchen is a bit dirty and God knows this place has given my stomach the runs a few times but you live and you learn. A very average place that you can rely on in your time of hunger.

A surreal experience. A party of 8 of us dined here. 4 adults, 4 kids. This is effectively a food court experience, its wrong to call this a restaurant. Prepay, get your own cutlery. You should know meals may be ordered 1-10 on a scale of spiciness. 2 of the kids had their meal ordered 2 out of 10, apparently this was mild. They could not eat their meals because things were too spicy. The other 2 kids were ordered 0/10 and were fine, though their smaller tummies couldnt fit it all in. Generally, the portions are bigger here. The 4 out of 10 green curry for my wife was surprisingly spicy in her words, and she said she didnt enjoy the meal because of how spicy it was. The other wife ate perhaps 10% of her meal, thinking it was too spicy also. The two dads, of which I am one, aspire to be real men one day and so both ordered laksas, his 5/10 and mine 7/10. I didnt consider my meal spicy enough to rate 7/10, we definitely werent switched because of the color. We were the only two to finish our meals. Wife said there was loud music in the kitchen making it difficult to verbally order the meals at the kiosk - no waiter will take your order. Metal soup spoons, with plastic cutlery otherwise rounded this experience off as just odd.

I am very picky about pad Thai because I ve had the real deal in Thailand- I ordered it expecting it to be meh, but it really surprised me- it was freaking delicious! The sauce was perfect and just so tasty! Be careful with spice though- it s no joke I got a level 4 and it was pretty spicy for me and I like spicy food! I will be back for sure.

This place is okay. If youre ordering delivery, they dont let you make any adjustments to the meals, so it can end up being being limited (if youre allergic to eggs, for example). Last night, I wanted something warming, so I ordered the Laksa. Upon eating it, I found a sticker IN my food. Not at all impressed- please put more care into delivery orders.

I ve only tried the coconut soup so far which is really good and a really good price. I will admit I skipped the protein because I tried the protein st robson location and it was nasty but could be just there? They offer water also which is nice. Quality cutlery too. They can certainly benefit from having a cleaner and better smelling and more pleasant eating area. this location the spicy level is actually really spicy, more so than robson so keep in mind while choosing spicyness.

I like that they offer 10 levels if spicy for you to pick and the food is as spicy as my expectation. The pad Thai was tasty but the portion is quite small. Laksa soup is good as well but I would prefer it to not have carrot and broccoli. Overall, 3.5/5 for the food.

December 22, 2022

Today I ordered by phone Pineapple fried rice, the carrot is still so hard and there is no taste on the food. The lady who works there today misspelled my name even I have spelled it each letters for her ( well that is not a big deal). But when I went there for pick up, she looked grumpy, not even a smile or a thanks out from her mouth, nothing. ( the worst customer service ever!) . I wont order there anymore.

A welcome addition to the rice plate-deficient North Van food scene. Modern space, efficient workflow, friendly staff, and so many choices! A casual dining kind of place. It s kinda cool hearing the wok go too. The spiciness levels seem to be the Southeast Asian kind of spicy, so if you don t usually eat spicy I might recommend level 1 or 0 (out of 10). I don t usually eat very spicy, and level 2 seemed a tad bit spicy for me.

Great value, reliable and tasty neighborhood restaurants. I wouldn t say they are the best Thai food I ve had but they make consistently delicious food at a great price point. Service is always friendly and quick. My fav is the pad thai and pineapple fried rice. You can also customize heat level and I find Level 3 is usually good for me (mild with just slight heat).

Terrible location. Poor service. We went all the way from west van as we normally eat at the location on Robson and they are great. These people messed up the whole order and our order was completely wrong. We asked for extra noodle and no vegetables but instead we got no noodles in a laksa and packed with vegetables. Inedible!!!!! The quality was also terrible. Avoid this location. Not well run or organised and short staff is their excuse. Shocking

December 22, 2022

Dirty food constantly served here. Sometimes OKish, many times bad. Really bad. Today I chewed rotten black chicken bone in the middle of my chow mein. Followed by belly discomfort, and a nasty after taste in the mouth that doesnt go away... No similar options in the area (Central Lonsdale), but after today Im finally done with this place! Good bye Rice and Noodle Lonsdale!

Walked into the restaurant at 8:30pm to place an order and the staff is cleaning the kitchen. The restaurant supposedly closes at 10pm. They told me my order was going to take 20 minutes because they were cleaning lol. The girls at the front counter didn t really care, and were more interested in gossiping than helping me. The food was bland, and not enough protein. Not going back. Lots of authentic places around here anyway.

No hygiene, no common sense! Lady who handles the food and counter smoking right in front of the restaurant door. If you take a chance ordering here, make sure you scan the food before start eating, as you may find something disgusting in the middle of it, as it happened to me and other people.

I often order takeout from here. This isn t haute cuisine and don t compare it to a proper dine-in restaurant . It s more like a street food stall in Asia The name and menu reflects that . a fusion of a Thai, Chinese, Malaysian. I ve tried their green curry and their chow main and they re both great .. large portions, cooked fresh, tasty and economical. (I often get two meals out of one order of chow Mein.) Their Pad Thai is just meh. These guys work hard and fast in a hot, cramped environment and probably at minimum wage. They re always efficient and smiling so go ahead and tip them. I d hate to see them raise prices or go under like so many restaurants since Covid.

SHEESH! One of the best Laksa I ever tasted, just the right amount of spice for a spicy lover . Pad see ew is also good, not too oily nor sticky.. It tastes fresh and the vegetables are enough in each plate , unlike other restaurants. If you re getting an appetizer, gyoza is REAALLYY GOOD AND CRISPY! The crispy wrapper of the gyoza is really good, it s thicker than it s usual. The chicken satay is aight nothing special. Customer service is good, they smile and welcomes us when we came in. Our server explained about their food and asked about our allergies which is a high-quality plus for me. Visited Canada for the first time and ate here for the first time as well, this will surely be added on my list to visit again.

Very disappointed! Ordered for take out meal this week. Very small portions with all dishes. Green curry was burnt with distinct burnt odor and flavor. Chicken satay was dry and did not come with any peanut sauce. I ordered the $1.50 extra peanut sauce to only receive a very small container with about two tablespoons of some yellow orange sauce. Called to question the small size thinking maybe they had forgotten to put the sauce in, however the person on the phone had no real interest in my concerns. Would certainly not visit again.

I used to like this place but I will no longer order food from here. I used Skip. Again (!) I am missing an item and now dont have enough food for dinner. Not only that, my red curry is half the amount of what it suppose to be. There is no way I can reasonably share this with my spouse. Pathetic. Dont order the peanut sauce. You get one table spoon in a very small container. The service has been deteriorating. I think they dont care anymore.

The fried rice was good and I dont even like pineapple cooked into my dishes and it tasted perfect. The rice didnt have a ton of sugary pineapple juice in it. It was savory and not soggy...spicy as requested. So very affordable and tasty good Asian food is what I would tell everyone I know and to check it out asap.
