Overall the food didn't live up to the hype for me, but the service was great. Taiwanese-style beef and bok choy dry udon noodles: 2/5 -- This was a lunch special not on the menu, and we took a chance. I probably misunderstood the description, but I was expecting a soupy noodle because of "Taiwanese-style." Pad Thai: 2/5 -- Too much seasoning to noodle ratio; would have preferred more of the protein (egg, tofu, and/or shrimp) as well Rebe Combo: 3/5 -- An ok variety plate (named after the chef Rebecca); pro tip offered by the staff was to get extra lettuce to make lettuce wraps I would return to try other items on the menu.

Great food here. I had noodles. Shrimp and rice and dumplings. Also, I predictably had an ice cold beer. The food was amazing. The shrimp was so flavorful. The noodles were awesome and amazingly tasty. The dumplings were also good, but I had them last so I was a bit full by then....but amazing too. If you get the chance to go, do it because you won't be disappointed.

One of the best places in Ketchum and most unique. You can order on line to go or eat in or outside when the weather allows. The food is outstanding; the service is awesome and friendly. The ambiance is warm and local. Don't miss this spot and try as many items as you can.

Love this spot! Definitely recommend. Love that they are open later than most other places in town AND their steamed greens are the best I've ever had in a restaurant. F-ing delicious. 10/10 Everything I've had from here has been really, really good. Vibe and decor /dim lighting inside & service was great too.

INCREDIBLE!! is what I have to say! If you have the opportunity to try out this restaurant, put your name on that waitlist and wait for this one because you won't regret it! There are some other bar/restaurants within walking distance where you can grab a drink at while you wait, so it made waiting go by even quicker. I came here with a group of friends and we were able to grab a table outside which was great! The weather was perfect and the outdoor seating area was very welcoming. Our server was on top of things which made the experience all the better, because we ordered so much off of the menu! The menu is comprised of so many delightful, shareable dishes! We ordered the following: Green Papaya Salad: Such a fresh and delicious dish! The lemongrass and cilantro really brighten up the flavor of the dish, and it comes with a side spoon full hot Thai chilies for those who want to add a kick to their bite! Hoisin Cashew-Shrimp: One of our favorite dishes; so much so that we ended up getting a second order! The sauce was so full of flavor and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. Samui Squid: The batter on this was just the right amount to add a soft crunch. The dipping sauce was light, yet complex, and had a nice acidity to it. K.F.C. (Korean Fried Chicken): I could rave about how exceptional this chicken was until I reached the ends of the earth. This was a second dish that we got a second order of after polishing the first order. They have absolutely perfected the crispiness on this chicken and the flavor had the perfect level of spice to it. This is a MUST ORDER item. Chili-Oil Noodles: Upon first look, you may notice that the noodles are hard to find under the piling of various toppings. Give it a stir and buckle in for some of the best udon noodles you've ever had. The different toppings provide such a nice crunch that pair with the noodles while the chili oil still prevails as a prominent flavor in the dish. Andreas' pot-stickers: I didn't partake in this dish, but it looked very well made! They had a great wrapper-to-filling ratio and had a beautiful golden brown cook to them! Sake: They only offer cold sake on the menu, which is a plus for me as I prefer cold sake to hot. We ordered a few different bottles including the Joto Yuzu, the Joto Junmai Nigori, and one other bottle (name escapes me). All were delicious, but I will caution to only order the Yuzu one if you do like that very citrus forward flavor. We anticipated that the flavor would be lightly flavored with the yuzu, but the citrus was not hiding anywhere here. I will think about this meal for a long time and I hope to return very soon to try even more outstanding dishes!

After a long (fun) day on the slopes there's usually an 80% chance that my crew is too tired to go out. Unfortunately, Sun Valley doesn't have many delivery options, but Rickshaw is a good option if you can pick up...and are in the mood for asian food. The menu isn't very big and we ordered the majority of it to share so we got a little taste of everything. It was all very good, but some of it definitely had a kick, but the rice that came with many of the dishes helped put out the fire in my mouth. Favorites included: - Chili-Oil Udon Noodles - Thai Chicken Sate - Sichuan Green Beans You can also eat there, but it's a pretty small restaurant so may have a bit of a wait during the busy season.

Yum!!! I love Rickshaw! Definitely stop here when visiting Ketchum. There will pretty much always be a long wait here because it's really small inside, but it's worth it I promise! Or get it to go. I've tried the Potstickers, Thai Chicken Sate, Chiang Mai Curry Noodles, Pearl Balls (Chicken Dumplings), and Caramel Pork Ribs. All of the dishes were super good and full of flavor! My favorite is the Chiang Mai noodles. I felt like it got better the more I ate it! And it's a pretty good amount of food. I literally drank the sauce when I was done! The ribs are great but have a pretty strong kick in some bites, so beware of that if you're sensitive to spice! The Chicken Sate is a great option too, because it comes with rice and the delicious Papaya Salad! It's nice to have the variety. I feel like prices are totally reasonable for the quality of food you get here. Highly recommend!

This meal is truly a 5 stars. It was all good. Best dining experience I've had in Sun Valley. Fun to get a ton of stuff and mix and match and try a bunch of stuff. The curry noodles were a favorite. The KFC was particularly tasty as well. The pot stickers sauce is to die for. Friendly service from one of the chefs. The staff sat us quickly. Nice low lighting in the restaurant. Each plate is about $12-15, and for a party of three, we got 8-9 and we were stuffed.
