Sweet Rice - Oak Harbor

No complaints! Eggplant was a welcome addition! Level 4 spicy is juuust right Updated from previous review on 2023-08-31

While the servers were knowledgeable about vegan food, we had to ask about every dish. The service was friendly but the food was mediocre at best. Poor quality is my best description. The “fresh rolls” tasted ok but the rice wraps themselves had a smell like dirty hands rolled them, if you can you can understand that lol. The restaurant itself was surface clean but had an old/dirty scent.

The family who owns this restaurant is so sweet and fully aware of vegan/vegetarian dietary needs. (The owner’s daughter spoke at length about operating in Oregon for so many years and getting versed in veg dietary needs there before relocating to Oak Harbor. Her mother, the owner, herself was vegetarian for many years, tooShe mentioned that sauces etc are made to order, so for many menu items it is easy to omit offending ingredients. We got the fresh rolls, fried tofu, jasmine fried rice, pad woon sen, and Thai iced tea w/coconut milk on our visit. All delicious! If you can’t handle spicy, order your food zero stars, as the spice rating starts at “spicy” (1 star and goes to “Thai spicy” (4 star .

I love their peanut sauce curry with tofu! It’s very tasty and the portions are pretty good!

While the server was accommodating to vegans, we had to request each dish individually. The service was friendly, but the overall dining experience was quite mediocre. I would best describe the quality as lacking. The “fresh rolls” were acceptable in flavor, but the rice had a strange odor, almost as if it had been handled by dirty hands, which was quite off-putting. The restaurant appeared clean on the surface, but there was an unpleasant old or musty smell that lingered.
