Customer Reviews
I like this place! They give you plenty of meat in the rice and they don’t put those God awful peas and carrots in their fried rice! Lots of egg like I like it. Gave it 4 stars because I ordered through Uber eats and they forgot my chili sauce that I paid for and the extra green onion that I requested. I like the beef fried rice better than the chicken fried rice. The chicken tasted old and the chunks were too big to enjoy with a spoon of rice! The flavor is great and I will back back 🤞🏽☺️
In consideration of my son's preference for Asian cuisine on the occasion of his birthday, we made the decision to dine at The Rice Box. The staff members we interacted with exhibited exceptional friendliness and courtesy. The culinary offerings were characterized by their delectable taste and superior quality. Having sampled the fare of numerous Asian restaurants in the vicinity, we can confidently assert that The Rice Box stands out as our preferred establishment. Of particular note is the fried rice, which I personally regard as the most exceptional dish among those we sampled. While the curry fried rice is also commendable, it does not align with my personal preferences. The lo mein, on the other hand, is undoubtedly one of the finest we have encountered in the area. The sole aspect of our experience that could be deemed less than ideal was the limited seating capacity.
I ordered to go general tso and chongqing that took about 40 mins. Rice and broccoli was missing. They tried to correct it and gave me two boxes but I got home and it was two boxes of broccoli….so I got a bunch of broccoli and chicken for $45 (I checked the food so I knew what was missing so I didn’t expect to have to check the two boxes again!) Not a fan of the flavors they incorporated but nonetheless, the aesthetic is great for pictures. Oh and the chicken was super soft for some reason so what you please with that information.
We stopped in for the first time and thought the portion sizes were great! For the price this is a spot we would come back. The only difficulty was finding parking because of the few spaces on site. Many people stopping in to pick up food also added some confusion. We circled a few times and we're able to get a close spot. Keep at it and give them a try if you can. We visited around 7pm on a Thursday night.
My delivery order was very good: General Tso Chicken, chicken eggroll, and crab rangoons with a delicious herb based chili dipping sauce. Everything was hot, fresh, and tasted great. I look forward to returning and trying something new off the menu.
