The Rice Bowl is absolutely delicious!! We go here often and the family loves it. Our teenage boys often go here with their friends and are always taken care of. I want to thank The owners for taking the time to look into gluten free options. I have never been disappointed. Teriyaki chicken Bowl & beef and broccoli are my favorites! Definitely worth a stop. Great food and amazing staff!!!!
I think I have ordered everything on the menu and it has all been terrific! Clean inside. Friendly staff. I love how you can order what you want in different ways. You customize your own rice bowl. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended
The unused portion is in the trash and gone. We ordered the beef fried rice, teriyaki chicken and an orange chicken bowl. we all took one bite out of it and then out threw it in the trash, it was old, cold the noodles were rubbery that came with the orange chicken. We figured there's no point in taking it back because if you order three different dishes and all of them are garbage, all they're going to do is give you garbage back, we will let Rice Bowl eat the $24 we handed them just to throw our food in the trash, hopefully this review helps other people to not eat there. I'm really disappointed.
Plus if you go into the restaurant, look up at the returns for the AC, pretty gross, I should have walked out right there and then.. And there was my.
The last thing I want to do is drive back and complain about the crap food... I know the workers knew it was old as they are the ones who cooked it. The noodles were so rubbery and the beef was hard and old. The rice was like a block of cement. The only fresh part about it was just the orange chicken it's self. Very sad to work a 10 hour day and have to worry about the food quality from the restaurant I'm ordering from.
Ate here Tuesday night somewhat reluctantly after reading some negative online reviews. Very, very please with everything. Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken combo special plus Egg Rolls and Potstickers. While the Potstickers surprised at first by being fried, everything was great! I am a huge Teriyaki Chicken bowl fan and his place was great. The Chicken quality and taste was great and the veggies were fresh and crisp. Very pleased and will be back, often! Seeing how involved the owner was on any negative reviews I had a feeling there was more to the story and so glad we tried it for ourselves!
P.S. Staff was plenty friendly and place was clean
I visited for the first time during lunch today. I went through the drive-thru and got the spicy chicken teriyaki bowl with mixed vegetables and fried rice, an order of pot stickers and iced tea. The food was fantastic! The chicken was high quality, not your usual rubbery/questionable fast food chicken. The sauce was great and I had the perfect amount. The vegetables could have been a little warmer, but they tasted fresh and went great with the sauce. The pot stickers were SO good, hot and delicious. The employee working the drive thru was very nice. The only thing I didn't care for was the unsweet tea. I prefer freshly brewed tea and it tasted like it was from a soda dispenser. No biggie, they swapped it out for something else. I'll definitely be back!
A tasty, LOCAL option for fresh and fast Asian-inspired food -- with a drive thru! The prices are right, the employees are friendly, the chicken curry is tasty with just enough spice, they can substitute brown rice and add extra veggies for no charge, and perhaps most delightful, the vegetables haven't been cooked to death! Skip Panda Express and go here instead -- you won't regret it!
We ordered lunch from here for the first time using an online delivery service that started to feature this restaurant. We received an incorrect order and tried to make do, but even the one meal that was correct was completely inedible. The fried rice somehow tasted like actual cigarettes and the teriyaki chicken was mostly gristle and fat, bad enough that my husband (who is not picky at all) could not even stomach it. Terribly disappointing.
Meh. It's all right. Not as fresh tasting as Panda Express, a little greasier, and with far more rice filler, yet about the same price as Panda Express. If you're okay with less variety in your veggies, with plentiful white rice, this might be the place for you. The meat is always tender and tasty, but the main reason I go for Asian food over American fast food is because you can feel good about getting a few servings of veggies (and maybe whole grain, if there's brown rice) in your meal.
