Contemporary Thai Asian Restaurant Opens in Needham

For those of us still mourning the closure of our favorite Chinese restaurant, Joy Luck, in Needham, MA consolation is at hand with the recent opening of The Rice Barn. The restaurant features contemporary Thai and Asian cuisine in a comfortable, well-appointed setting. In fact, the restaurant is located in the space formerly  occupied by Joy Luck.  For starters, the menu offers a wide variety  of interesting appetizers, soups and salads. Entrees (priced from $14-$22) are served with rice and include a great selection of tasty duck, chicken, beef, pork, lamb  and seafood dishes. The entrees are good sized and can be shared among the table. We ordered three entrees an appetizer and a fried rice dish for four people. The menu also features wok fried rice dishes, noodle dishes and curry entrees. The service, menu selections and presentation were outstanding. I can’t wait to go back to sample more of The Rice Barn’s tasty and creative cuisine.  Open for lunch Tuesday – Friday and for dinner Tuesday – Sunday evenings. The Rice Barn is located at 1037 Great Plain Avenue in Needham Center.  781-449-8300.

I’d love feedback from readers on your dining experience at the Rice Barn or any other Needham restaurant.
