The stir-fry is prepped with in-house sweet and sour sauce.

When your hunger needs to be tided, you might want to try out some of the Thai specialties at Rice and Spice, a spot where flavors are big and whether you’re here for dinner or lunch, you’ll leave with a smile on your face and a stomach full of good eats.

Thai food is known for its heat and spice, but at Rice and Spice, there are many dishes that are mild. The chicken sate and beef sate are served with rice and soup, along with the choice of a salad or spring roll at lunchtime and both are mild on the tongue. Sweet and sour stir fry comes with chicken, pork, tofu or shrimp and a specially blended sweet and sour sauce made in-house.

For those willing to brave some spice, the curries are served with various meats and rice and are a great choice. Noodles and rice plates are plentiful on the menu as are choices for vegetarians. And a la carte options include Thai BBQ chicken or beef, a great alternative for those who want to try something new or for those who want a little extra to supplement their menu choices. A notable dish is shrimp blanket, a shrimp wrapped in a crepe-like wrapper and fried, served with the signature sweet and sour sauce.

For dessert, try the banana wrapped in crepes and served alongside coconut ice cream. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to find the perfect mix of rice and spice.
