Whidbey Rice

  I hate to give them such a low grade after I had a nice lunch there a few months back but they opened a stall at the Bayview Farmer's market and so I tried a Bon Minh (?) Vietnamese style sandwich and it was very dissappointing: very dry Gai's like French bread, vegies not sliced or shredded thin enough and wafer thin slices of BBQ pork with little or no sauce or spread. I took one bite, then took it back to their stand.
  I didn't want to embarrass the owner in front of others so I left it on the back table. A $7.00 lesson - for me and I hope for her.
  A good sandwich has shredded vegies, plenty of sauce or spread, noticeable meat and a soft bread interior with a crusty outside. I'll stick to Pickle's version at Ken's Corner even though the best are still found in Seattle.
  Sigh...

  Wish I could rate Whidbey Rice higher, since I love to support small, locally-owned business, but I find their prices very high for both the quality and quantity of food provided, as well as for the atmosphere.  $8.25 for a banh mi sandwich???  Come on, the food is being served in a little shack on the side of the highway on Whidbey here, not in the lobby of some fancy hotel.  Curries and noodle dishes all clock in around the $9-$10 range too - again too high considering what you get.  
  
  Food is on the bland side and sadly, nothing special.  Weird hours, too - lately they've been open Tues - Fri 11-3.  Yep, that's it.  
  
  I don't think we'll be back.

  The food wasn't horrible, but the service was. From when I walked into this not-crowded place until my food came was 45 minutes ... at lunch! For unexceptional pad Thai?

  Visited some family and driving through. Stopped by, kind people, priced comparable with others, Pad Thai was one of the best (No ketchup). I am looking forward to try something different next time as well. Can't wait!!
