We got the garlic noodles, crispy chicken fried rice and the pad see ew with tofu. The food was all delicious. The pad see ew was hearty and the noodles let you feel like you were eating someone instead of just slurping. The crispy chicken was extremely tasty and added flavor to the very basic fried rice. The garlic noodles were an amazing set of top ramen noodles without the soup.

Super fast service and the food is so yummy! There are dishes you won’t find in a regular Thai restaurant like Ramen soft shell crab and kao soi. We’ll come back with a larger party next time so we can order more variety. Being Thai I am picky about my Thai food so this is highly recommended. We drive an hour just to come here.

Not kidding! This place is Sooooo damn good!!!! My wife and I ordered the Yellow Curry, Drunken Man Noodles and the Crispy Pork Belly. Everything was so delicious! Look at the photos.

This place is on a different level. I can't remember if I ever had Thai food before. The dishes were colorful. The flavors were rich, decadent. I've always heard about this place and it's rave reviews but never expected the caliber of food these people are cooking. This place is extraordinary. Their people are special. A must experience. Mind blown.

Highly recommend the crispy pork belly, truffle fried rice, and soft shell crab noodles. Everything was delicious 🤤 thanks to my friend who introduced me to this place, now I have an option to kana moo grab @Thai Canteen in Sacramento and don't have to go so far anymore for that crispy pork belly fix. 😋 however, if you're lactose intolerant, definitely avoid the mango sticky rice 😉

One our favorite place for Thai food. Service is excellent. They have outdoor dining which is great if you have a dog. We had the crispy calamari, crispy pork belly, chicken green curry, creamy tom yum, chicken pad thai and eggplant with tofu. Everything was good. The pad thai was a little strong on peanut flavor. The crispy pork belly was very good specially if you eat it with the onions.

Authentic Thai cuisine with excellent service and a great atmosphere for dinner. I had the drunken man noodles, creamy tom yum soup, and mango sticky rice. All dishes were awesome. Since the place seems pretty popular, you may need to wait 5-10 minutes to get seated. This is probably tied for my favorite spot in Vacaville. Highly recommended!

We were delighted to find this place! The food was good. My partner likes HOT food, like hot enough to make you sweat. And, the Rice Barn gave him exactly what he'd asked for. I was happy they made the larb salad with tofu for me - tofu isn't a normal option on their salad menu. However, they were very accommodating. Update: I brought my coworkers here for lunch, everyone loved it. Lots of vegetarian & vegan options. Their pad thai is now gluten-free. It was easy to work with food restrictions. Everyone was happy!

We went once and the service was subpar and the food took a while to come out... but the meals were DELICIOUS so we decided to go back another time and the food today, yet again, was 10/10. Service is still not the best in the world, but the food makes up for it! The peanut explosion and yellow curry are so flavorful

I'm surprised it took me so long to try this place out. I am so happy that I did! Came here on a Sunday after church, about 30 minutes after they opened. There was already plenty of people there to eat lunch, but a good amount of seating left. Their menu is HUGE! It made it so hard to decide on what to order. We ended up getting an order of their wings, tamarind prawns, spicy beef salad, and two orders of their pad thai with bean thread noodles. Everything was really delicious, great flavors, and pretty big portions! The only dish we were kind of iffy on was the spicy beef salad. The meat seemed like it was boiled or maybe pan fried from frozen, rather than grilled. It jut didn't have that bbq flavor we were expecting, and was a little tough. So that dish was just ok. But the appetizers we got were defiinitely super delicious. The wings were sticky and sweet, and the shrimp had a nice creamy, tamarind flavor (almost like a thai version of walnut prawns). Lastly, the pad thai was sooo good. Loved that they had the option to serve it with the bean thread noodles versus the flat rice noodles that it usually comes with. Made the dish a lot lighter. Ended up taking a bunch of leftovers home, and they were just as good heated up the next day. Will definitely be back again soon!

possibly the worst thai food i've ever had. rice barn is like pf chang for thai food chicken larb tastes like simple boiled chicken, lightly seasoned, no herbs. it is NOT larb at all. pork belly was just simple deep fried pork belly. comparable to a basic lechon pad thai noodles were overcooked and also bland nothing was good and none of the food was particularly "thai" we ended up mixing the awful larb with larb we ordered from bhan thai lao kitchen. THAT place is good.

Found Rice Barn Thai Eatery on Yelp and I'm so glad I did! We got seated right away and the service was so friendly. We were given 3 different menus: one for drinks, another for traditional Thai dishes, and another for chef speciality dishes. We ordered: -thai iced tea -crispy pork belly appetizer -pad thai -pad se ew -yellow curry -crispy chicken over fried rice Everything was delicious and I'm looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu! Would highly recommend if you're in the Fairfield/Vacaville area and craving Thai food.

This is a spacious restaurant with a great outdoor seating area and a menu full of options to suit any taste. However, the name is a little misleading by calling it a wine bar. They do have alcoholic drinks but a very small wine menu. Only one Sauvignon blanc and they were out. I was surprised to see it packed on a Thursday, it's clearly a local favorite. I tried the fried tofu and the shrimp trio, and both dishes were delicious. My vegetarian friend had the sautéed eggplant and it didn't have a ton of flavor. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Came on a busy Friday lunch right at opening and it was already getting packed! Quick service! They bring those dishes out in a timely manner!! Ample flavors in each bite... always best when sharing! The vibe of the place would've been nicer if they kept the temp at a cool 60 something.... It was super warm in the place!!! Everyone kept saying how hot it was in there. It was almost cooler outside. Despite the warm environment I enjoyed the visit back.

This place definitely lives up to the hype! There's definitely a lunch rush on weekends, so I recommend reserving a spot ahead of time. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and they can accommodate larger groups as well. The place has plenty of tables, an inviting atmosphere, and lots of parking. The staff is dressed in cultural clothing and are pretty attentive. They check in regularly, offer to refill drinks, and are quick with serving up food. We were once given the wrong check, and once we notified staff they were quick to fix the situation. The food is where it's at though! Our favorites are the yellow curry, crab fried rice, pad thai, and pork belly. Slightly more on the pricier side, but the food tastes so good, and I usually leave with leftovers. Love coming back here!

Been to rice barn Thai eatery since they opened many years ago. I used to work at the nearby hospital so we ordered pick up and deliver many times. I also tried many times dine in at the restaurant so that I can try other dishes. The mango curry is surprisedly delicious. With mango heart shape and shrimp. It's different than your typical curry. I love their drunken noodles, pad thai, calamari!

Not sure how long the Rice Barn has been open, but I made my first visit about a year ago. Since that time, I've returned on four other occasions and have enjoyed every visit. I think one of the reasons I didn't go to the Rice Barn sooner, is that it looks kind of unassuming from the outside. A classic case of don't judge a book by its cover. It's not that it ugly or anything, just isn't an eye catcher. I'd say the same a bit about the inside. Not spectacular but it is very cozy and comforting. Good location right next to Nugget Market. Service is always great. Plenty of smiles and help if you have any questions. A small item I really like is the cups they serve the water in. Metal...Stays cold and refreshing. Food is really good. I've tried the Lemon Chicken, Pad See Ew, Oxtail Soup, Basil Chopped Chicken, Honey Mustard Gyoza, and Papaya Salad over the course of my visits. All good, but some items are definitely better than others. I say the Lemon Chicken and Pad See Ew are extremely good. I also really enjoy the Papaya Salad. I've known some close friends for over 30 years now that are from Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and all their parties have Papaya Salad, and it's by far the best I've ever tasted. This isn't to that level, but it is very good. Better than I get at other Thai restaurants. Prices are fair and affordable. There appears to be a nice selection of wine to choose from as well. I nice spot for lunch or dinner, be it with co-workers or family and friends.

Love this spot - I've been here many times and keep coming back for the Bangkok noodles/chicken. They've got a great Thai iced tea, wonderful rice dishes, tasty appetizers and I have not ordered but have seen their other dishes which look great also. Service has been good each time, friendly and quick. They've got bar seating, indoor tables and bench, and outdoor. Ambiance of a lively Thai spot with good seating options. Highly recommend.

I reviewed this restaurant before, but I had to submit another review for a special I had that was out of this world. It was the scallop and lychee curry dish. The texture of the scallops and the lychee was really interesting. They kind of mimicked each other. The sweetness of the lychee was incredible with the tenderness and freshness of the scallops. I've never had a curry like this with these ingredients. It was a special indulgence and experience for sure. Make sure they always check out their specials! They do rotate them pretty regularly. The weight staff is usually very helpful and knowledgeable. If you have questions about the menu. And the ambience is always really good, love sitting on the patio.

It's been a minute since I've been impressed and had no expectations! We stopped in on a random Saturday for lunch and so glad we did. Service was welcoming from the second we stepped in and attended to right away with waters. We ordered the crispy pork belly, which was good..I'm sure paired with beer later in the evening this would be delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the panang curry with chicken and the spicy basil fried rice! Now that's a winning combo and I'd come back here just for that again!! Neither was super spicy- just the right amount for me. Service was warm and we were checked on several times and had our waters refilled multiple times. I highly recommend dining here.

The place is very clean and staff are very attentive! I ordered the Drunken Man Noodles which was amazing, great flavor, and huge portion! Worth the price. We also ordered the Pad see You, no pictures though, it was also pretty good. I would come back when in the area!

I introduced my husband to Rice Barn for our anniversary. I had been here a couple of times before with a girl friend during our occasional weekday visits to Vacaville. This time it was on a Saturday for lunch. The past couple of times I had lunch specials. I guess they don't offer lunch specials on weekends. We each ordered from the Noodles/Street Food section of the menu. My husband ordered the Drunken Man Noodles (beef, wide rice noodles, eggs, cabbage, green bean, yellow onion, red bell, basil, chili garlic sauce - on recommendation of our server when he asked which of three choices she recommended) and I had the Kao Soi (chicken breast, milk curry, egg noodles, red onion, cilantro, lime, green onion.) We were both really impressed with our choices. The flavors were exquisite and the portion sizes very generous. Note to Maribeth if you are reading this. We were given ice water in cute little metal bowls. I was parched after taking a long hike. I picked up my bowl to drink and it immediately fell out of my hand and water and ice was everywhere. The hostess immediately came over and offered us a new table. I then used two hands to pick up the water bowl, once replaced.

It's been few years since we last been to this place & unfortunately we were disappointed in just about every dish we ordered sadly. The crispy pork belly was either old or over cooked because it was dry and hard almost jerky like. Same goes with the duck that went on the fried rice. Overcooked or was like under heating lamp too long? or something along the lines. Tom yum soup & the red curry was a bit disappointing as far as authentic flavor. Only food that was somewhat ok was the kids meal as kids were entertained with the dinosaur and crispy chicken was good but fried rice again like the duck fried rice was not great. We got there right before 5 after they open back up at 430pm on a Friday. 40 mins wait for indoor seating but luckily the outdoor was open & well equipped with heat lamps and shade that came down to block the wind to keep us cozy. Our servers was overall awesome and did a good job as they kept checking up on water refills and prompt at taking orders. Nice and attentive. Considering the prices we felt we expected better dishes. We understand maybe one or so can be a off day but majority of the dishes ordered.. needless to say we won't be back.

Rice Barn is such a pleasant surprise for Asian food in Vacaville! We came here on a whim after minimal research and simply seeing the good rating on Yelp. Thankfully it did not disappoint! We ordered takeout and the wait was relatively quick (about 15 minutes) despite the restaurant being packed full. The server at the front was super friendly and helpful. We ordered the fried tofu, pad see ew, tom yum soup and mango salad. Every was delicious! The fried tofu was crispy and we devoured them on the ride home. Pad see ew was seasoned perfectly and the noodles were a nice chewy texture. Tom yum was perfectly sour. I was really surprised by the mango salad which was light and refreshing but also filling because of the chicken. The dressing on this was great and I would most definitely order it again!

We stopped by on a Sunday evening, and while it was busy with a 20-minute wait, we opted to sit at the bar instead--and it was a great choice. The service at the bar was excellent, and the food was even better. We started with the fresh and crunchy spring rolls. The Tom Kha soup was another highlight--rich, comforting, and ideal for the cold weather. From the chef's menu, we tried the Pad Pak (vegetables), and it did not disappoint. The portion was generous, and the vegetables were perfectly al dente, just the way we like them. Rice Barn isn't fancy, but it has a cozy, welcoming vibe. The food is high quality, the service is attentive, and the prices are very reasonable. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a great meal without breaking the bank.

I've seen this place a few times when I've left the gym and finally decided to try it out. When I got there they were pretty busy but I put my name on the list and waited. There were no names on the list and it said 5 min wait. It's pretty small inside so my party waited outside. About 10 min into waiting a party of 4 came up and sat outside, a few moments later one of the employees came out and sat when them and said they wouldn't wait long. He proceeded to flag down another employee and told them to get a table ready for his friends. Mind you, by now there are 4 other parties waiting to be seated. His friends waited no more than 2 minutes before being brought in and sat down. So I went inside and said something. I was told "they are the bosses friends so they don't need a reservation". So I left. How rude and disrespectful to the people waiting in line to be seated. As long as you know someone you can cut in front of everyone. I will never come back to this restaurant. They clearly don't care about the customers here.

Rice Barn is well rated and for good reason! I had previously dined at their sister restaurant Buddha Thai Bistro and ordered from Rice Barn during the pandemic. Excellent flavors. Rice Barn's decor is more modern. Think stone and wood. Farmhouse rustic chic? Outdoor seating. It's romantic. The employees are all dressed in Thai clothing. We strolled in on a Friday evening. It was quite busy but we were able to snag seating for two at the bar. We ordered the yellow curry, mango nata, taro samosa, and the ramen curry pork belly (chef's special menu). Everything was delicious! And the servings were very generous. We had enough leftover curry that I'll be able to get another meal out of the leftovers by adding some rice.

Came here for my 2nd time as they had a really sweet deal for Vacaville Restaurant Week! The featured deal from Rice Barn included their AMAZING Crispy Chicken with Ginger Rice, Fried Gyoza, and Thai Iced Tea... all of this for $17!! It was definitely a deal that my husband and I could not pass up on so we definitely had to get it before the restaurant week deals ended. For it being my 2nd time here, they continue to not disappoint in all aspects - food taste, presentation, quick service, cleanliness, and ambiance. Will always keep this place in mind when craving Thai food and will definitely be back for the next Vacaville Restaurant Week!

Great spot tucked away in a busy shopping center next to Nugget Market & the gym. We came on a Friday during lunch hour to a packed house! There is seating inside with a small bar area, lots of tables under a gazebo outside & a few in front of the restaurant. Acknowledged as I entered - the man cleaned a table right away and my party of 4 was sat. Great menu of classic Thai dishes. I enjoyed the chicken pad Thai (tofu, green onions, sprouts, peanuts, with fresh lime juice- it was delicious! Flavor-ful & cooked perfect! Cucumber salad was definitely refreshing on a warm day. Cool with a sweet and spicy vinaigrette dressing. Service was great- we were checked on often, water was always full, and food came out quick with a packed house! Pad Thai: $18 Cucumber salad: $8 Good portions could easily be shared with two! Would definitely recommend & come back to try the rest of the menu.

Food was not bad , not memorable enough, for me to return and try other dishes. They seated us fairly quick, place menu in front of us and within minutes wanted us to order . Okay! I get that need to turn each table for turnover . Got our order , and once we placed our order , basically ignored us. Until the brought the dishes , I felt the service was lacking for me and I didn't like where they sat us . Felt like in an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry, George and Elaine were seated very close to the kitchen door where the servers had to go in very frequently to take out the dishes. We were placed at where the curtain was placed next to the kitchen entrance where the dirty and used dishes were taken. Please remove the position of the table where your back is to the wall where one can view the kitchen with the blue curtain and the entrance . The energy didn't feel welcoming and for me I didn't feel welcome or particularly enjoyed the seating arrangement. Drunken Noodles was a pass for me , highlight for me was the peanut explosion dish. Papaya Salad I have had better, heat and fish sauce was watered down , fried Calamari was edible.

One our favorite place for Thai food. Service is excellent. They have outdoor dining which is great if you have a dog. We had the crispy calamari, crispy pork belly, chicken green curry, creamy tom yum, chicken pad thai and eggplant with tofu. Everything was good. The pad thai was a little strong on peanut flavor. The crispy pork belly was very good specially if you eat it with the onions.

Wow... this place was recommended so I wasn't expecting it to be disappointing, but I was wrong! I ordered a garlic shrimp dish off their lunch menu, and when it was served I was disappointed in more ways than one. It was literally shrimp atop a bed of rice, and the rice was hard. It either didn't cook with enough water or was served before it was done. It was on the verge of crunchy. There were no veggies in the dish, other than the cucumber slices as decoration. All I could eat was the shrimp and cucumber slices.

My first time ever really having Thai food and I was not disappointed. I started off with the garlic mushroom appetizer which was delicious. Then I ordered the pad Thai chicken along with the mango Nata. The portions are HUGE! lol I'll have to come here next time and spilt my dish with someone. Service was friendly, I'll definitely be back. 10/10 recommend.

Starting 2024 off with a quick review of my new favorite thai eatery in Vacaville. Small restataurant packed with big flavors, Rice barn is bringing the heat. As a surprise dinner, my brother took my mom and I out. You know a place is good when it just stays packed from the time you walk In. It took 30 mins to be seated, but ivee waited longer. .If you've watched the show "Check please!" For Bay area eats...then this featured restaurant is the place to visit for some solid Thai food.... Gotta come back cause I didnt the bangkok noodles! Ciao for now

Honestly. Super solid Thai Place. Most of the things we've ordered here is a 10/10. This my go-to place when I don't want to be disappointed. You know how you go to hat one place because you know it's good and it makes you feel better?? It's this place, hands down. Favorites are Fresh Summer Rolls, Papaya Salad, Crispy Pork Belly, Crispy Chicken Ginger Rice from the regular menu. We usually order off the Chef's special menu. We love the soft shell crab, we liked the frog legs.

This place has always been our go to Thai place on Vacaville. Came here on a Friday for lunch and it was busy,we waited about 20 minutes to be seated. They do have some out door seating as well if you like. We ordered a few dishes to share for our party of 6. Our food came out pretty quick considering it was really busy. We ordered calamari which was good,love the batter it was crispy and the flavor was on point. We also ordered papaya salad, chicken larb,soft shell crab with crispy noodle(noodle was not my fave) pad thai and fresh veggie spring roll and Thai tea. We love them all and we were stuffed,portions was reasonable.

Rice barn is definitely my favorite Thai place around town and they always give great sized portions. This was my first time coming here for lunch and it was more than I expected! Their cashew nut chicken is hands down my FAV! And the eggplant is always the best! All the staff were super sweet and making sure we were well!

Do yourself a favor and try this place after shopping at the outlets! Wow wow wow - all of the food was amazing. The menu has such a large variety, just their specials menu alone could be their only menu, and they would be set. I started off with their thai tea, and it was delicious as expected. Then, we ordered the fried dumplings, which came with a sweet and salty sauce. Then, I shared the duck fried rice and crispy pork belly with my sister. The fried rice had such good flavor and was not greasy, even though the duck was fried. The crispy pork belly was the star of the night. It had a little kick to it, but had amazing flavor and the fresh veggies complemented it well. This didn't come with rice, so it paired well with our fried rice. Overall, I can't wait to return to Vacaville so I can eat here again!

*** Vegetarian Review *** They can make all dishes except Pad Thai vegetarian. So went to plan B when I try a new restaurant. Pad Se Ew - egg is fine. Portions. Big Flavor. Sweet and savory with a slight hint of that wok sear. I would recommend this dish.

I see why this spot has so many reviews and 4, almost 5 stars! Let's get straight to it -- Food was delicious! The portions of each dish are enough for a family of 4 or a family of 7 if everyone doesn't eat a lot. We did end up ordering a second plate for their Beef Chili Cha Cha (something like that) because we wolfed down the first order! It was thaaaat good. Each fish we ordered lived up to our expectations of taste, quality and and quantity. The only eh I could think of was the amount of bean sprouts added to the Pad Thai. Other than that, tasty! Chef's kiss. The service was great. 5/5. Everyone was super nice and welcoming. Food came out in a timely matter, water was constantly being refilled and we were checked up on not too much and not too little. The ambiance of this spot was bright and family-friendly. They do birthdays if you're looking for a place to celebrate! I've always had this bookmarked so I'm glad I finally got to go. I thought the location would be bigger but it's like any other Thai restaurant. They do have an outdoor patio for those nice warm summer and spring days! I'll be back again! *insert yum emoji* SYOY, Rachel C.

Some of the best thai food I've had. The Squid ink paste was refreshing and delicious. The papaya salad was flavorful and the Illegal asparagus sauce was spicy with out losing flavor.

Doom and gloom today... Luckily we found shelter in a popular barn.... The Rice Barn. And I must tell you... While there is a lot falling from the sky, it can't compare to the water inside. Perfectly ratio'd water to ice that melted into water at the right time to ensure a constant flow of chilled water without the heartbreaking rattle of ice in a empty cup. On top of that the chilled metal cup provides a unique aesthetic and interesting feel in hand. Do come and compare your experience with mine. Cheers

Here we are in 2025. I've been back to Rice Barn Thai and have been having great experiences. The customer service has been positive and consistently good. The food, Mango Curry with prawn, fresh spring rolls, asparagus, rice dishes have all been fresh, hot and flavorful. I'm so glad they have improved from my previous review because I love Thai food !

Still a favorite from the area. I stop by whenever I'm in the area and get food to go a lot. The introduction of a website made ordering out quite easy. I do stop in occasionally since the specials menu has changed over the years and doesn't reflect as well as the website for ordering, but the staff has always been friendly and helpful with any questions. I still adore the kao soi which works well with just veggies too I've come to find. The fried pumpkin is often a staple also. It comes with a good amount and works quite well with the sweet and sour. The oxtail soup was a nice simple addition they made for the menu. The oxtail is cooked well and the soup is well balanced.

My family and I enjoyed the food here! I would definitely eat here again. We had the drunken man noodles, yellow curry with chicken, pineapple fried rice, crispy chicken, fried calamari appetizer, spring rolls, and iced Thai tea. Everything was really good! My favorites were the crispy chicken and yellow curry with chicken. The service was good. I liked the unique cups that were provided, but it felt like I ran out of water quickly when using those cups.

UYE Party of 8 [Vacaville CA] Met with a few North Bay Yelpers for lunch one Saturday and tried out this restaurant from the recommendation of Alison. Two in our group have been here before but for the rest of us it's our first. Our table ordered the following: Garlic Ramen Fried Chicken Crispy Chicken Ginger Rice Mango Sticky Rice Mango Curry Fried Calamari Spicy Black Ink Noodles Billionaire Pork Belly Lemon Chicken Ramen Curry Soft Shell Crab Lobster Tail Truffle Oil Fried Rice The presentation of the dishes were pretty and we all enjoyed our meals. The Lobster Tail Truffle Oil Fried Rice was shared by me and the hubby. It doesn't get much better than seeing that huge lobster tail on top of the fried rice. Everything was delicious. Service was great. The wait staff were fast, very helpful and took care of our table. So glad to have tried this place... looking forward to returning again. Located at the Browns Valley Marketplace in Vacaville. Indoor and covered outdoor patio dining available. Private parking lot. Review #3074

Indoor and outdoor seatings await while entering Rice Barn, recommended by a friend. They have rabbit, alligator, frog, and so much more if you're not so adventurous. We had a feast: Massaman Rabbit Curry was quite good (tastes like chicken?)! Lamb shank was juicy and huge, but came out lukewarm. Papaya salad's great, not over spicy. Fried calamari's da bomb! Sautéed Eggplant with tofu's quite delicious. Thai iced tea ice cream is a must order for those who like the drink! Love the colorful shirt uniforms on the friendly staff.
