Crowded neighborhood pan-Asian spot delivering flavorful Thai-leaning dishes at fair prices, with occasional waits and service inconsistencies.
Au Bol de Riz delivers solid neighborhood dining with above-average food quality anchored by well-executed Thai curries and noodles, but inconsistent execution—cold plates and occasional bland seasoning during rushes—prevents a higher grade. Service ranges from brisk to stretched, and while the inviting decor and fair pricing earn loyalty, it remains a neighborhood favorite rather than a destination, competitive with respected local favorites in the area.
A bustling Saint-Mandé staple where lunch fills up fast and the room turns pleasantly lively. Service ranges from brisk to stretched when slammed, but most diners gush about warm hospitality and fair prices. One guest summed it up: "The set lunch was quick, tasty, and easy on the wallet." Decor skews inviting with a touch of polish, making it a neighborhood favorite rather than a destination temple. The cooking leans Thai with pan-Asian detours—think red curry that sings, Pad Thai done right, udon for comfort, and a deeper seafood bench than you expect at this price point. It is fusion by breadth, not theatrics: familiar dishes, clean flavors, occasional missteps on seasoning, and the odd cold plate on hectic nights. If you want molecular wizardry, look elsewhere; if you want crowd-pleasing bowls and curries, this is reliably satisfying. Families do well here. Kids can latch onto noodles and fried rice, mild curries, or chicken skewers. There is no dedicated kids menu, but the actual offerings—Pad Thai, udon soup, coconut curries—are friendly to cautious palates. Expect a lively room at peak times; earlier lunch or early evening means less wait and happier small diners.
