Family friendly atmosphere, everybody is really friendly and they do their best to get your order right. I'm very specific and particular about what I order, and they always get my order correct! You have the option of ordering to-go or dine-in and the food usually arrives very quickly, even when customizing your order. The quality of ingredients is superb... it is the best Asian restaurant in Jacksonville!
Had dinner at Rice Bowl for the first time this evening. This is the best Asian restaurant we have ever been to, and we go to a lot of them. The food was exceptional and freshly cooked. The atmoshere is very classy with cloth tablecloths and fresh flowers, a nice touch. The waitress was wonderful. I have never rated a restaurant before, but took the time to rate this one because it such a fine place to eat.
The clear soup didn't have quite as generous a portion of fried onions as your average sushi place, but still pretty good tasting.
Their egg roll was basic but tasted fresh, came with a couple nice sauces.
The shrimp Pad Thai: wow. I'm writing this part of the review in between bites because it's very hot (Fahrenheit), but it tastes delicious. I did not pay much for this plate and it is so well prepared and the flavors are fresh and blend so well! I chose a 3/10 for spiciness and the spice hasn't really registered, so if you like it spicy, try 5 and above. Edit: the heat builds, but not so much. Hot Cheetos have more heat.
Essentially, this is a great meal at an honest affordable price for what I got. Those three items were enough for me to have to force the last of the shrimp down at the end. I'm very pleased and will be back.
Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. This is some of the best Asian food I’ve had in many years. We came for the lunch special on a Saturday. The service was impeccable. I look forward to my next trip here to try a different meal. I had the General Tao’s meal. The Jasmine hot tea was good.
Great food! Great atmosphere! Great people! We had an interesting experience on our very first visit. Someone had a medical emergency and the people who work there were Johnny on the spot to help out. The food is ALL FRESH and DELICIOUS!! They make their own hot mustard and duck sauce (which is impressive!!) I will most definitely be coming back. Not only for the delicious food but also for the good hearted and kind people who run the place. Conveniently located and open late on weekends, this is the place to go for an expanded Asian menu!! Try the drunken noodles and the Tom Yum soup!!
Since relocating, this was the one and only Asian restaurant we found that compared to back home. We were regulars. Fried rice, egg rolls, chicken entrees were consistently good. Even the recent increase in menu prices did not scare us away.
I am sad they permanently closed.
We are so sad to hear of Rice Bowl's closing. You have been our favorite Chinese restaurant for the last 4 years. The quality of your food far exceeds any other local Chinese place by a long shot. Thank you for the many great meals over the years, you will be missed.
Was looking for a pan-Asian restaurant that had some “traditional” American Chinese food. Rice bowl fit the bill with offerings like General Tsos chicken. I’ve tried what was supposedly the highest rated General Tsos on the east coast and this was was a super close second, if not better. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and sticky without being too drenched in sauce. The vegetables were cooked right to the point of perfection. I also ordered hibachi chicken which was also super good (preferred the GTC.) Got extra veggies in both and as you can see it was a huge amount.
Best egg roll, fresh made duck & hot mustard sauces, & yellow curry. Very nice staff & comfortable atmosphere.
This is a great mom and pop authentic cuisine...very good portions, freshly prepared and will prepare to your taste (ie spicey, mild, not spicey). When here is know where to go to get really good Chinese cuisine.👍🏾😊
On Wed 1/17/23 we ordered take out and I got shrimp and scallops spicey(it’s one of the featured dinners) and it was absolutely delicious. By far the best I have ever had. Keep up the good work.
Not a fancy restaurant but the food was absolutely delicious! All the reviews we read were positive and accurate. The owner, Eileen was very friendly and an efficient server. Definitely will be going there on a frequent basis.
