Rice and Spice is great. I dont know about what the other reviewers are talking about because I've been going to eat there for years and it's always been great. All the servers are knowledgeable and more than helpful. Dont worry about the stereotyping because all the staff can speak English fluently...there isnt even an accent!!

My favorite dish is either the Phad Thai noodles or the Lard Nar! Definitely give this place a try,the prices are fair and the food even better.. you wont regret it:)

Hi everyone, I am the manager of Rice & Spice and I would like to respond to the last post. There has always been a manager on duty and nothing like what the pervious reviewer said has ever happened. We are a family owned and operated restaurant and if I wasn’t there then it would be my mom or grandmother.

First of all, our servers would never speak to a guest like that. I also found it offensive that the reviewer stereotyped Asians by saying that their server said “go sit in front.” But that’s a different topic…. Funny though, the restaurant doesn’t have a front section and all our servers speak English pretty well.

In addition, even though it can get busy during our lunch buffet, our customers are all served water unless they ask for something else.

And flies? C’mon… if the restaurant had such an infestation, we obviously would not open it the public.

I don’t understand how anyone could fabricate such a story… or want to for that matter…

But why spend your time reading reviews when you can check us out for yourself! Then… if you aren’t happy with our food or service, please talk to the manager. However, if you LOVE Thai food, I GUARANTEE that you will love our restaurant.

Since our opening of Rice & Spice, we have had much support from the community. We are proud to serve Holland. I would also like to thank you everyone and anyone who has tried us. We appreciate your business. We are always anxious to approve our standards. If you have any comments, please send me an email [email protected]

Sincerely,
Sharon Khousakoun

I've never been treated so poorly at a restaurant in my life. We asked a couple of questions about the reataurant when we first entered but were only responded with a "go sit in front."

This is where we promptly sat for TWENTY MINUTES waiting for even a glass of water. After the twenty minutes, the waitress came and I asked if we could order some drinks. The only response I got back was "you order drink later" and she walked away.

We tried the buffet since no one was obviously going to let us order a meal. Honestly, it was very small selection and there were flies everywhere. I didn't end up eating. Ten minutes later, the waitress showed up and gave my boyfriend a glass of water. Obviously, I was ignored. We ended up leaving then and there without an apology or explanation from the staff.

I wouldn't even give this restaurant a try. There are other thai restaurants in the area that are worth a try. If you like being ignored and subpar food, I suggest you try rice and spice
