Just overall 1 star, food tasted like it was cooked from frozen, and was reheating so many times it lost all flavour. Service was really bad as they didn’t listen to my order and gave me whatever they wanted and charged me $16 for two chicken balls, a small serving of fried rice and the saddest greens I ever seen with the most artificial sweet sauce
I suggest you talk to one of your female employees who was in the bathroom stall at Avalon mall today July 7th at 1.20pm, who clearly did her business and left the bathroom without washing her hands. Not only is this a health violation but to blatantly walk around with a Rice Bowl uniform on while doing it? Yuck. Beware anyone who eats here that they clearly don't value sanitation.
Although there are better places, for a spot in the Avalon mall it is fine. The prices are a bit steep but you do get a fairly decent sized plate. Not bad.
This is hands down the absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had. I've tried it 3 times, and each time was somehow worse than the last. Today I ordered a full order of fried rice and a fountain pop. The total was $19.18. that's absolute robbery. The rice was so bad I had to throw it out. The rice was hard and not fully cooked, and there were 3 little tiny pieces of chicken in the whole full sized rice portion. Do yourself a favor and do not eat here, you WILL regret it.
The food was way under cooked, the cherry sauce looks like blood, the sweet and sour ribs look like shrimp. The service was awful, when I was asking what the difference was for the meals the worker sighed and rolled his eyes at me. The chicken balls were not chicken balls, you have to pay for chopsticks if you want them. All in all it was the worst food experience of my life.
This is probably the worst Chinese food I've had in my entire life. I used to love going to mall and having Rice Bowl but at some point over the last few years the quality has been lost. The noodles have a strange spice almost like curry on them, the chicken is chewy with hard chunks that are inedible, the beef is almost slimey in texture and the egg rolls taste like nothing. The sweet and sour pork is decent but they give you tiny strips of pork with big chunks of onion. Don't waste your money
when I go to the avalon mall, i always know where i’m stopping for a meal. This place never disappoints, the food is always fresh and hot, it is delicious and the staff and always super friendly. I really recommend the wonton soup, my favourite.
Great food. Tasty Chinese-canadian dishes. Good service as well.
Food is good tasty and hot.
Very over priced and not very good.
Chicken balls are tiny, Rice is dark. I had chicken balls and rice and a drink. $18.00. I was shocked. Food was edible at best. Spend your money elsewhere, this is a poor excuse for Chinese Food
I usually love this place and it was my favourite place to eat. Yesterday I went to get some supper for take out and first of all they charged me wrong. My meal is usually $14.94 with tax and they charged me $16.09. i barley got any food in my take out box. I am not impressed.
Dried up food should have been disposed off
Friendly & helpful staff. Got exactly what I wanted for lunch. Tasty food .
Definitely the worst food I have ever eaten. The quantity is more than enough for 1 or 2 people and even though the veggies were fresh and crisp there was an unusual taste to the sauce. It is loaded with sugar that didnt add to the taste. I was looking for something on the healthy side...I would NOT recommend this place. Or... perhaps ask for a taste first. The next cook might be better.
Bogwater... They also forgot my drink and had no soy or plum sauce.
Disgusting food. Overcooked and smell s very bad.
No selection and very stingy amounts given. And not very tasty food. Wont eat here again and wouldnt recommend to anyone who loves Chinese food. Very disappointing...
Dont be fooled by the idea that this is just a food court set up. Rice Bowl has some of the best quality Asian Cuisine in the city.
A BIG shout out to Shirley from the Rice Bowl. I am the owner of an amazing group on facebook (Neighbours in Need-Nfld) Shirley recieved an order of produce in the midths of this QUARENTINE, she generously donated it all to our group, we will cook and distribute these veggies and share them with A LOT of people!! Thank you so much Shirley for taking care of your neighbours during this time. Food insecurity is at a all time peak and you are on the front lines helping us fight hunger!!
Awesome food and service!!! My favvv go-to!! Best chicken balls ever, more meat than batter! Sweet & sour pork is to die for yummmm and stuffed wonton OMG!!
Thanks!
Fantastic staff, great food, and willing to help their communities. Highly recommended.
Not filling
Dinner with family and friends with food prepared by the rice bowl.. absolutely delish
The dishes do not deserve the prices. Not even close to Chinese food.
Always friendly staff! Love the food.
Perfect place for a quick delicious meal, noodles are amazing along with so many options to choose from.
Soo yum and such a friendly staff :))
i love this place, service is awesome and food is consistently good! If you don t like rice bowl you don t like good food.
We had take out Rice Bowl for supper today at a family members house. It was absolutely delicious! The beef in the beef and broccoli was so tender. And of course, the noodles! So tasty! Better than any sit down restaurant.
What a good feed! Best meal in the food court!
DELICIOUS food! Catered to 36 people (big family!) and everyone couldn t stop talking about how good it was. Some of the best Chinese food I ve had. Will make a point to get some more when I m in the area again. Thank you!
Very dry rice, bland and not salty chicken balls, Very skimpy on won tons. Overall negative experience.
Food was delicious! Loved the many selections and freshness of food. Staff was frendly.
Have eaten there many time. Service is great and all meals fresh, hot and very tasty.
I got a 4 item dish, 2 of them being meat and no joke got 4 pieces of meat between the 2 dishes. To top it all off Its not good food at all.
Ordered pick 4 and wonton soup ....absolutely gross ...soup tasted like it was burned on the bottom of the pot I asked for a new one I could tell the staff was not happy I did .. second one was just as bad . Food was very leftover and dry and ridiculously over priced ...never again !!!!! I only gave it a star so I could write a review
Great food, stupendous service, best noodles in the city
Their very nice and the food is never cold, great price for what you get too! Love it!!
It is by far the worst I have tasted and over priced. I ordered beef and broccoli a day threw it out. It had no taste. Want good Asian Food? Go to Thai Express next to it. Very tasty.
Noodles are mushy
Really good Chinese food
Food is delicious, costumer service is amazing!!! everyone is so friendly and kind... love eating here :)
if your looking for expensive mister noodle look no further, they used to have really good noodles my favorite in the city, now its nothing but mush. very disappointing and not worth 13 dollars by any stretch of the imagination.
