Ricepot Thai Cookhouse - Brooklyn, New York

Rachael Wang

This casual Thai eatery offers kind and welcoming service, with portions that are larger than you'd expect.

The lunch special is definitely worth it! The Bangkok Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Drunken Noodles were good, though the Drunken Noodles tasted more like Pad See Ew—sweet and savory rather than spicy.

The pork belly basket and chicken satay were just ok. Overall, good value.

I preferred delivery and everything came hot and neatly organized. I love Thai iced tea and it definitely hits the spots. The chicken basil is flavory and a great portion. It’s great to have a thai food place locally in the neighborhood without having to go to the city or downtown.

We’ve always passed by this spot but never had the chance to try it out until today! We started off with the pork belly basket and it was so delicious. I loved the little sauce that it in came — it paired well with the crispy pork. We also ordered some drinks (highly recommend the passion burst and the Thai iced tea). As the main entrees, we got the classic pad Thai (which has shrimp and chicken) and the chicken cashew. Both were super good and savory. I loved how tangy and it peanut-ey the pad Thai was. I also loved the spices used for the chicken cashew. Highly recommend this spot to satisfy your Thai cravings 10/10!

Disappointing. After a long day we just wanted to eat some good takeout. The Curry Puffs were good so I was looking forward to the entrees. The Pad Thai was dry and too spicy-that being the only flavor. The Drunken Noodles had minimal flavor. The woman that gave the order was pretty rude. Not sure if we will give this place another try. Many other restaurants in the area that are better food and service.

Food was pretty decent. Appetizers came out a little at a time. But the fried rice & pad Thai took pretty long and it was just us in the restaurant. Calamari was good and batter wasn't too thick. Pork belly was a little too fatty where the fat part was hard to chew. Chicken satay could've been a little more browned but good flavor. Curry chicken & potato puffs barely had chicken in there so just expect a good curry potato puff. Pad Thai was a little on the sweeter side. Pineapple fried rice was good but all the shrimps were not cleaned properly, poop still inside.

Originally, I wanted to give 3 stars because of food and wait time. But staff is really friendly and nice. So changed to 4 stars. Thank you!

Very disappointed with my last order from here. This place closes between 4pm-5pm. I made an order online between these times knowing it would get delivered after 5 which was fine. For some reason when I placed my order for Drunken Noodles with Chicken, my modifications I had made on the notes didn’t go through. I wanted no spice and no vegetables. Just to make sure of this because sometimes places don’t read the notes, I called. I left two voicemails explaining my order and my modifications. No one called me back. I tried again at 5:05 and finally got someone but to my surprise the food was on the way….WITH NO CHANGES! I asked her why no one called me back or bothered to listen to my voicemail? She said they don’t bother voicemail. But if no one was there to answer my phone call from 4-5pm then how did the food get cooked and out for delivery by 5:05 I canceled the order and they ended up refunding my money. The food came anyway and what was even funnier, it was chicken and shrimp. Even though the one thing the order actually did reflect was chicken only. Which proves they just don’t pay attention at all. I have since found other Thai places to order from without issue.

Affordable lunch set, some items I like but some to avoid.
I got the lunch set with tofu pad thai, chicken coconut soup and Thai iced tea. And I added an appetizer, curry puff original.
I would stay away from the chicken coconut soup. The chicken are very lean, dry and tough. The soup is quite coconutty with a hint of tangy from citrus. Soup is on the watery side. The soup is topped with cilantro which was not listed on the menu.
Pad Thai is well seasoned but tofu (fried tofu) is bland on its on but decent to balance out the heavy flavor noodles. Overall, this dish has nice mixed of texture with the peanut crunch.
Thai iced tea is very sweet, but was actually good to have it with the noodles. (probably not lactose free).
The curry puff has pretty soft crust, hot outside but only lukewarm inside. Decent flavor but can’t really taste the chicken or feel the meat texture. Overall on the oily side, and more soft than expect.

So full disclaimer here: I don't understand Thai food. I've never liked it at any other location ever before but I wanted to like it because of how hyped it is. I've been here over 7 times now and finally have the chance to leave a review

Thankfully Rice Pot Thai Cookhouse exists. It's fresh, savory, flavorful and everything in between

Let's start with some favorites

1) Pork Belly Basket
I'd say like 75 - 90% are cooked perfectly (tender meat, seared outside, crispy af skin). Small percent sometimes a tad overcooked but a DEFINITE MUST TRY

2) Ricepot Pad Thai
So one of my biggest challenges is enjoying a pad Thai but I feel they nail it here, the pork belly here is a great addition. Still not a fan of the more vinegary flavors but it's not offensive here

3) Fisherman's Stew/Hor Mok Talay
If you like seafood, definitely get this. The stew has a super strong seafood flavor which is great for seafood enthusiasts

4) Beef Noodle Soup
As a Taiwanese person, I'm supposed to like beef noodle soup and find that hard to do as well, to be fair haven't visited Taiwan but visited many other places to try it like 886, Ho something else, etc. This was the first place I've actually enjoyed a beef noodle soup. Soup is a little sweet and while I'm not a fan of the bitter veggies, I can stomach eating them

5) Chive Cakes (not pictured)
Deep fried with a s nice gooey inside. Had this more recently and still start getting this way more often

6) Satay Chicken (not pictured)
Ordered this for the first time for delivery last night and blown away. Chicken thighs were used it tastes like as it was super tender, seared very well, and the sauce was great

7) Blue Lemonade (not pictured)
Was great but too much ice. Aesthetic af but they need to tone down the ice so you get more drink

Water service is on point as I go through water very easily. It's great not being left with an empty cup like many other places do
