So great! Fast thoughtful service and wonderful food. I've been coming here since they opened many years ago. Excellent everything (except their menu is confusing!). Really good service and food.I have several favorites but chicken curry is extra delicious.
Was looking for a local takeaway for my parents. Online order was smooth, food ready when scheduled, good portion size. The quality of the food was very good with plenty of veggies and aromatics in entrees. BUT it was *way* too salty. So salty my mother who oversalts everything could not eat it. Had to throw out 2 of the 3 entrees.
The cucumber salad was refreshing and spicy! The roast beef rolls consisted of beef, lettuce and sweet bean sauce. The pancake for the roll was crispy. Although the rolls weren’t authentic, they were great. The Szechuan Beef Noodle Soup was decent. But, the meat wasn’t extremely tender. Despite the dishes being asian fusion, they were coordinated very well.
The service was great, and the food was very delicious! I've had Chinese dishes all over the world, and I can say that this is one of the best I've had. Many restaurants use inferior ingredients. Each meal I've had has been extremely good, and I wanted more. If you've read my other reviews, you know the atmosphere and mood of the restaurant are very important as well. The Rice Bowl has it all. It's a great place to bring your family and friends!
This place is the truth real deal Chinese food, I went for the safe dishes to try out beef and broccoli ( best brown sauce), shrimp with lobster sauce ( best and only one in Austin), and the best dish sesame chicken. Rice bowl was 10x better than Ho Ho bbq going back for the Mu Shu Pork
Have eaten here previously. The food is pretty good. Service is okay. What irritated me was that we were able to get tap water upon request like a couple of months ago but this time were told they do not serve water except through plastic bottle due to COVID. That was odd. I try to keep plastic consumption down due to environmental concerns.
Rice bowl has wonderful food with large portions. I especially like the green onion pancakes.
Great food! We ordered online via their website. The food was ready before expected and the staff was super nice! We got sweet and sour chicken and Hunan chicken and they were both delicious. Will be one of our new go to Chinese restaurants!
The food has to be the Best in Austin. The service is outstanding and always with a smile. The servings are huge if everyone orders one item then share family style.
I have been ordering here for years. Today for lunch I ordered Mongolian Beef Lunch Specail.It was horrible... big thick slices of tough chewy beef, not the normal slender slices cut against the grain of the beef. Also the onion had not been peeled and was mostly thin, tough papery skins which could not be chewed but had to be spit out or they would get stuck in my teeth. Plus the "chef" used so much oil that the dish was drowning in oil making the flavor totally greasy and flat.This is not their normal fare that's for sure. I will think twice about ordering from them again if this what the Rice Bowl cafe has become.
