We went here for our Christmas party. They for sure give you a large amount of food and I definitely had leftovers. But I have to say I like my favorite place better for Chinese food. They were good though. Waitresses and staff were great. Very accommodating. My egg foo young was a bit cold. It could have been crispier. The noodles were good but didn't seem as fresh as they could. The white rice was dry not fluffy. I would go back by myself. It might be better if it's not a crowd of 20.

It was our first time at Rice bowl and it was during a bday event. Not sure why I was not able to save the photo of the dishes and only the venue. They have a huge banquet/hall for events I did not know existed. Lights were just a lil dim in my opinion. Anyway, the fried rice and orange chicken were good! I am planning to come back to dine in and try their other dishes!

Great food! Fast, friendly service. The prices are very reasonable. My favorite place for Chinese food.

Rice Bowl is our favorite Chinese in town or really anywhere! My favorite items are the honey walnut shrimp and the lemon chicken. Everything always tastes fresh and delicious and service is always great. We love it here!

Always a good place to find tasty Chinese food. The options are always consistent and the quantities are extremely generous. Although the price seems a bit high initially, there is always enough left over for a snack or great meal the next day. Candy, our favorite server has worked at the Rice Bowl for years, and always knows just what kinds of foods we like. She makes great suggestions when we want to try something different.

I've been disappointed with the soups I've ordered at various restaurants, but tonight I had sizzling rice soup that was the best I've ever tasted. Although it's 45 minutes from home, it's definitely worth the drive. The honey walnut shrimp is also incredibly delicious, and the portions are generous enough for two meals. Our server, Andy, was very attentive, keeping our drinks full and promptly clearing dirty dishes. Just a note: the location is in a somewhat shady area, so be mindful of your surroundings. 8/6/24

Hadn't been in years. So happy to say they are maintaining their reputation as a great spot for Chinese in town. Spacious clean dining area. Fast friendly service. Food quality, taste, portion size and price were spot on. Delicious lunch from the specials menu. Garlic pork and Orange chicken for Mom. Mom was happy to have a great lunch at a long time family favorite.

Let me start of saying, portions are HUGE. My sister and I thought getting one regular dish and a lunch special would be okay but it was A LOT for two people. The food was great and I loved the service. Very attentive and quick. I love that there were many family and friends groups around us chatting. It really felt like a family space and fun to be at! Prices are definitely fair. Parking available :) Recommend going at least once
