Montana summers are filled with sunshine, fresh air, and outdoor adventures — and after a day of hiking, floating, or exploring, there's nothing better than a meal that refreshes without weighing you down.
At Rice Thai Cuisine, we believe summer dining should be light, vibrant, and full of flavor. Our Thai dishes are made with fresh herbs, citrus, and traditional ingredients that naturally cool you down and re-energize you.
Here are 4 customer-favorite Thai dishes perfect for the summer season:

1. Thai Summer Rolls
Wrapped in delicate rice paper, our fresh spring rolls are filled with crisp vegetables, vermicelli noodles. Served with our house-made mint dipping sauce, these rolls are cool, clean, and packed with flavor — perfect as a light lunch or appetizer.
2. Larb Gai (Chicken Salad)
Looking for something fresh with a kick? Our larb salad is made with minced chicken, tossed in lime juice, chili flakes, mint leaves, onions, and toasted rice powder. It’s bold, citrusy, and full of cooling herbs.
3. Pad Thai with Tofu or Shrimp
You can’t go wrong with Pad Thai — especially when it’s made fresh and customized to your spice level. Tofu or shrimp keeps it on the lighter side, while lime and roasted peanuts bring a balance of sweet, savory, and sour.
4. Thai Iced Tea
No Thai summer meal is complete without a glass of this creamy orange classic. Sweetened black tea, infused with spices and topped with milk or coconut milk, makes it the ultimate refreshment.
Whether you're visiting from out of town or a local regular, let Rice Thai Cuisine be your summer go-to for delicious, feel-good meals.
