The food here is super delicious! I will definitely share this restaurant with my friends and family.
Chow mein noodles overcooked, mushy, hardly any chicken. Chicken satay overcooked, dry and barely warm. Go somewhere else, save your money and disappointment!
The worst Chinese food I’ve ever tried. My husband just brought dinner from this place and we couldn’t even eat it. Almond chicken looks disgusting and butter tastes undercooked. Noodles are dry. The only more or less edible meal was beef and broccoli. Very disappointed, 70 bucks and we didn’t even eat.
Ordered delivery tonight. Got email confirming order. Delivery said about 60 min. Waited and waited then finally we decided called just before they closed and no one answered. Now 20 minutes after they have closed and haven't received the order. Wasted an hour waiting for food and now have to figure out an alternative now that half the restaurants in Vernon are closed. If a restaurant can't deliver I'm the time frame maybe call the customer and let them know. Or close your ordering service earlier. Very disappointed and lost a long time customer
I love ordering from here for a treat once in a while. My favorite is their won ton soup. The staff here are so friendly and they remember their regulars :) This review is long overdue!
I ordered the Spicy Basil special with the beef option for meat, and there was no meat in it, only vegetables and rice. I was really disappointed when I got home and found out. I was exhausted so I really didn't want to go back to the store to resolve it. So I just ate it and went to bed. Maybe I just won't buy food here anymore. Because it would be inconvenient to open the box and check in the car if I got what I ordered before I drive home.
This was one of the only Chinese restaurants we could find in Vernon, and we were hoping it would be more authentic. We were very let down by the food as it did not taste authentic at all. Everything from the chow mein to the rice to the meat... We didn't like anything at all. It lacked flavor. It lacked authentic Chinese taste. The sauces were so watery and runny. The best way I could describe this place is if a non-Asian tried to open up a Chinese restaurant. The only pros here are the large portions and the super nice staff. Keep in mind that there is no dine in at this restaurant and everything is take out.
Tasty. Busy whole time we were there which is good. Good size food. 2017 may 14
Been getting the almond chicken combo here for decades. Still my favourite
Chicken chow mein is insanely good
Great takeout spot, great menu and variety. Food was so good!
Very disappointed. Food was soggy, flavourless, and all around not very good.
Always great food and service.
Sushi party platter is always delicious! Fast delivery, on point. Yummy. Thanks!
They say food tastes better when your really hungry but yikes... I wouldnt feed this to my dog. Extremely disappointed. Food was all soggy, bland and expensive for the quality.
Blah. Best description
Delicious!
Excellent
We ordered online and were impressed! Everything was delivered hot, and not soggy, or spilled. The delivery girl was super nice, very respectful even though she had trouble finding our address. Will be back
Soggy, mushy, tasteless.
Service was good but the food was terrible. Chow mein was dry and bland. Sweet and sour pork was just overcooked and chewy bits of meat drowned in pineapple juice. Definitely not worthy of the tip I left.
Amazing food and staff! My friend and I locked ourselves out of our car and they helped us greatly! Thanks April, Kim and may!
Today was our first time trying The rice box, and we will not be going back. Chinese food from the mall is better. Everything was bland and looked like it was from the frozen food section at the grocery store. Save your money and go to the mall instead for low quality food.
This is my number 1 go-to for gluten-free Chinese food! Handy tips: they can sub the beef and broccoli sauce for the gluten-free black bean sauce. Truly excellent!
Still amazing. Thai green curry and Shanghai noodles were super yum.
Terrible food here! I ordered the ginger beef and it was the toughest, blandest meat I ve ever had. My wife ordered the soup and it was awful too. Had more sodium than instant noodles. Do not order from here
Great service. The food is very tasty and their delivery service is excellent.
Terrible food , ordered dinner for 1 threw it in garbage. Go to another place save your money.
This place has absolutely delicious food! Great service, awesome staff, and AMAZING FOOD!! Highly recommend them.
New to town and treated poorly. Walked in and wanted to make an order to go. We were told wed have to order outside from our car or theyd have to ask our vax status. Incorrect, you are not a sit down restaurant so you cannot ask me that. Had they let us order inside we would have waited outside for our food. But being ushered outside like that felt super rude. There were no other customers inside, so what was the big issue? We wont go back.
THE FOOD IS SUCH BAD QUALITY FOR SUCH A HIGH PRICE! My boyfriend and I ordered the chicken chow mien, miso soup, and sweet and sour pork. The meat in both dished was terrible. The pork had bones in every single bite while the chicken was covered in grizzle. My miso soup had barely anything but broth in it... Absolutely bad quality for wayyy too much money. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!
The food was gross plain and Im telling u know the ginger beef is not ginger beef its beef cuts put in gravy lol like where u learn ginger beef cook go back to school but ya not recommended unless u like knock of rice box and for the price get a grip what a rip off if u want plain food and cold this is the place to go well done great name ur making for yourself guess u dont read your review much lol shut them down that pic is ginger sauce lol taste like scallops and fish
HUGE portions, delicious and support friendly staff- everytime!
Very good food, the service was excellent
Food was mediocre, price was shocking for the quality and amount you receive
One meal equals to an annual sodium intake
Surprised to see some uncomplimentary reviews. I ve been going there for almost a decade and their sesame chicken is to die for. Big chunks of lightly battered chicken with their signature sauce. It s the first dish I tried and have never ordered anything else!
Ordered a few different dishes. Portion size was small compared to other Asian take outs in Vernon. Biggest issue, all 3 of us had suspected food poisoning after our meal here. Never again.....
Vegetarian options: We got the tofu chow mein and veggie fried rice. It was ammmazing!
Awesome service, Gigantic portions, tasty food
The wonton soups tastes like someone poured cough syrup in there. So weird. Seriously had a cherry taste. The lettuce wrap filling was overwhelmingly DOUSED in peanut sauce. The Shanghai noodles and Chow main were alright. The owner was friendly but friendly doesnt resolve cherry flavored wontons and peanut sauce leaky lettuce wraps.
Bad food, they gave me 3 tiny slivers of chicken and absolutely no vegetables in our chicken chow mein and they defrauded me by rounding up the total on my Interac total, rounding up is for cash totals and not debit or credit. It was my first time coming here and I am new to the city. I will never be back and I will tell everyone about my bad experiences.
Awesome
Poor quality meat. Not very flavorful (sweet & sour pork was awful; spring rolls were bland; black pepper beef was watery). Small quantities for the price.
It was okay, the chow mein was dry and the spring rolls were average. But the lemon chicken was really good. Good portion sizes.
Ive lived in Vernon awhile and tried this place for the first time and gotta say the food is awesome great tasting. Definitely going back great staff fast service
No question the best in town and Id your not eating here where are you eating
Amazing ! Family owned! Everything tastes amazing and best prices! Dont even have to leave your vehicle for pickup.
I love the food selections the have, i like most specially their sweet and sour chicken the best for me.
Not what Im looking forward to eating there again
Go to for Chinese food in Vernon. Good food and great service.
If you want Chinese food in a box like the movies? This is the spot! Their light boxes are good, the chow mein is the best in town, and they dont play with their meals for one. The style of food isnt for everyone, but if its yours, this is a solid choice. Their online ordering services are good, and they have a pick up service where they bring the food out to you. Note: this place does Western Chinese food, so if youre looking for authentic Chinese cuisines, youre probably going to be disappointed.
Great food! Ricebox dinners are our favourite. And run by the nicest family you will ever meet.
Theres a reason theyve been in business so long.
Amazing, never disappointed, we drive from West Kelowna just for your most delicious food, one of our favorites , and always so friendly
Awesome food, friendly staff. My only complaint is there website. They do not list all the ingredience. I ordered a pork stir fry and it was mostly grilled chunks of pineapple and it did not even say online the order that it had pineapple. total ruined my dinner. I hate pineapples! They need to be more specific and include real personalized pictures of there meals. Other than that they do give a huge servings of food. Hope to see this improve. Very frustrating because its decent food.
Great sushi great prices
Good take out,fast service
Great service and amazing food!
They make home styled food that I remember learning to make and cause of that the flavor and texture of the food is better than a lot of the Chinese food places that are similar. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family as you get a lot of food for the price you pay!
I like boxes and I do in fact like rice but when I asked for a box and rice on the side for dinner they said Ok! But when they came back to my table THE RICE WAS INSIDE OF THE BOX I ASKED FOR IT ON THE SIDE
Always tastes great and great service
So good!!
This is another special restaurant for food in Vernon. These guys can cook. They have a great selection of meals and side dishes and NO it isnt Chinese food its much much better than that. Check them out you wont be disappointed I guarantee it.
The freshest sushi I have ever had!!! Great prices as well!!!!
I love The Rice Box !!
Always the best wor wonton when not feeling good this is my go to soup!!!
Food is excellent. Cant miss.
Good quality food very fresh well prepared, mouth was watering, big let down no flavor. It was bland and all tasted the same.
Really good fresh food and great people.
We were happy with the fresh veggies, but disappointed with the flavors. Everything was terribly bland. The cost was high considering the portion sizes. We will not be ordering again.
Great people food is good
Always delicious and amazing service. Love supporting small business. They are always giving away meals to those in need and kids at schools, always helping out the community!
Good food good service Little pricey for me
The customer service was great the food however was terrible 12 dollars for miso soup they assured me it was worth it, I got 6 peices of tofo and one green leaf thats it, almost 20 dollars for this chicken chowmain no veggies not fresh was 60 dollars and very tiny amount of actual food the miso was large like they said.
Food was fresh and delicious , love that I can order and just drive up to get my food
Good food. Good staff
Great food and fast service
Rice Box!
Absolutely love how quick delivery is, there sure is a lot of food in those boxes! Great spot to get chow mein.
Best family run small business in town. Years you have given back to your community. While helping all us other restaurants in a crisis yet still nailing delicious food on a busy night. Delicious. Fast. Your Driver Dispatch staff are so friendly and efficient. To nail it all while still having a heart of gold is uplifting. You set the bar high.
Skip for to the next place. Chow Mein tasted like cheap mall food court
Honestly if I could give no stars I would, i dont rate restaurants ever yet my experience was probably the worst amd quiet frankly worst chinese food Ive ever got. Spent 80 for soggy sweet and sour, soggy ginger beef with no spice or flavor ect, I literally bagged it up and brought it to my moms for them for dinner and they even said it was disgusting. The only thing we did eat was the almond chicken. Waste of money and extremely disappointing!
Best (non pizza) Delivery in Vernon. Online order precision with quick delivery. Thanks guys.
Great food
Always awesome food and great service. Super friendly staff.
Awesome sushi
I always get an almond chickin combo..Really good and I buy it about once a week, thats how good it is.
As always amazing food
Sushi was amazing and their chicken pad thai so awesome
Did a drive-in and it was smooth, quick, good service. And the food was delicious! Definitely recommend
Good oriental food, pick up only
Awesome! Always friendly staff and excellent food!
The food was great and plentiful. We managed to feed 4 adults and 7 children on $55 and had leftovers. The staff was great too.
Some of the Best tasting and most consistent food in Vernon, Never had better customer service from an owner in my life! highly recommend this fine establishment!
Great food, great service. Just a great place to get Asian fusion food. The staff is so super friendly too.
Fresh food, great service, delicious!
I have had better and I have had worse fast service
Meh...
My favorite of all time!
Good stuff good place good people
Awesome food! Great family run business! :)
Food was sub par. Small portions. Everything taste the same. not going back. I guess all the people who have given it great reviews havent had good food before.
Great hustle and community involvement. Food is also well priced and an option that doesnt require skip or dash. Delicious
Hit and miss, I ordered almond chicken and a large steamed rice at 7pm on a Saturday. There was very little sauce and the chicken was soggy in the middle and crispy on the edges. I also have to wonder how you mess up rice, it tasted dirty and was more like sticky paste. Ive ordered from here 3 times and have had 1 good experience. I think Id rather get the ingredients and make it at home for $20/order
I love The Rice Box! The food is always fresh and delicious and the staff/owners are really nice people, its a win win situation!
Nothing special. Bland flavour and overpriced.
Delivery was fast .... but the food was awful. The chowmein was soggy and tasted odd. Never had this place before but was told it was very good food always fresh but somehow mine didnt taste fresh. I get maybe I shouldnt have ordered new years day. The people were friendly Ill give it that. No point in calling to complain as I wont ordering from there again.
Wonderful Asian selections
Love that they deliver to my car and food is delish
Simply Amazing
Picked up a great meal here as we were in a hurry. The online ordering works great and is fast and the staff are super friendly. Try the new Lemon chicken and the honey garlic pork - very good!
It was amazing.
Always...awesome
Amazing food, really a great lunch or dinner and always tastes so fresh. My question is why ever go to a fast food place again?
Great and inexpensive food! Their pad Thai is huge! Loved everything Ive had so far. Fast and tasty
Fast friendly service. Very good food. Love their rice box meals. Very cheap meals also. If me and my wife want a fast quick great meal we order here. there spring rolls are great also and all the different meals they have.
I always love the rice box, sometimes wait times are a little long but, more than tolerable.
My new fav. AMAZING flavor
Delicious food, fantastic value and great service, Vernons go to for Take-Out
In my experience, online ordering has always worked as intended. Options for those who dont want everything deep fried. Good value. Not overly greasy. Tasty. Cute boxes so you can feel like youre in a sitcom.
Good salmon avocado roll...
Good Thai cuisine
Excellent service, fast and large portions at a fair price.
Best Chinese food in Vernon.
The food is fresh and clean but the taste is average. I tried chowmein with stir fried veggies.
Best veggies in town!!! Awesome food!
So yummy!!!!!
Amazing food
Sooooo gooood fast friendly and delicious . The menu here is spot on to price and style I would recommend crispy honey garlic pork and vegetables stir-fry it was fantastic. Orders for two and an extra dish forty buck ish
fast service, great food
Good food, portion on the smaller size but still better then the last two Chinese places Ive tried in Vernon.
Best takeout in vernon
Food is made fresh to order reasonably priced
The pad thai here is to DIE for. Also their sweet and sour pork/chicken is amazing, especially since its gluten free!!
Always have a positive experience at the Rice Box and iv been going there for years. Best Asian Fusion restaurant in the Okanagan! The Pad Thai is my Favorite =]
I love their gluten free options
Always great
Great wonton!!
I always order from here but today was like no other experience but even tho my food was a little later then expected the gentleman came and was teaching his 2 little girls how to work and that was really sweet! And he didn t have the right change for me so he actually tried to give me over the change needed back I asked for him to just split the tip with him and his daughters absolutely the coolest delivery I ve ever had and the sushi is absolutely amazing
Great food, lovely staff and owner! Thank you
Great asian take out. Fresh and tasty. Awesome staff. Be prepared to always wait 10 minutes though, even if you pre order.
I love the hot meals! They are amazing.. However, I detest the fact that they claim to make Cultural sushi, when it is very Americanized.
Quick delicious food!
So good! So fast!
the most delicious chow mein
Fast fresh and delicious!
Great staff and good. Always community focused with special events like the wokathon!
Always fresh flavors and I just like the texture of their rice! I do however prefer to speak with a person instead of texting our take out sushi orders.
Great family run take out place. Download their app to order online! Yummy daily specials on their website too!
Excellent take out. Good quality and service.
This place never disappoints. Incredible staff, management and amazing food. A place with true integrity.
I have a gluten allergy and have had a hard time finding good gluten free Chinese food! The rice box has a great selection of gluten free food that was delicious! The food is pricey but quality is worth it
Excellent food, always made fresh, excellent service!
Love this place. Excellent food and friendly staff. Their app is awesome as well.
Very fresh and reasonable priced.
The veg chow mein had maybe three pieces of broccoli and then it was just noodles. I would pay more for vegetables, but.. at least let me know! A box of noodles is not a full meal.
Great people, super fast and fresh.
They ant never open when I go there
The chicken cashew, satay chicken and tong kha gai soup are my favorites! We dont eat rice or noodles and it is still great. On and May and the gang are always friendly!
Best food.... Best service
Best food ever
Great food! And great prices! The portions are big enough for excellent left overs the next day
Usually really good food my family gets food here a lot. Ive only had one incident where I ordered some sushi for delivery and it just tasted off and not good but Im sure they just had a small mishap. The owner is very friendly and tends to remember customers by name when they come in a lot. I would definitely recommend at least trying this place once
Excellent fusion of southeast Asian and Chinese wok cuisines. Their online smartphone, web and text ordering is pure Silicon Valley
Best chow mein and spring rolls!
Definitely not Szechuan as the sign suggests. Asian fusion is a better description (Cambodian and Japanese dishes on a Szechuan menu?!) and the food taste reflects this, so if youre after authentic Chinese then youll be quite disappointed. On the positive, this restaurant is technologically ahead in their ordering system with an app, texting, etc. and staff were friendly when ordering in person.
The Chow Mien, in my opinion, is the best I have ever had. The Almond Chicken is crunchy, tender, and packed with flavour. You might find the prices a bit higher than others but dont let this discourage you. Food is made fresh to order with quality ingredients. I come here once a week for lunch because its super fast to get food when you use their App.
Decent sushi and made right away. Ive never had any problem.
the best ordering website i have ever seen. sushi was amazing and the price couldnt be beat. TRY THIS PLACE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont have to be rice-ist to eat here. But it helps. Great food!
Great spot for takeout plus some of the best Vietnamese salad rolls I have ever had
Cheap. Fast. Delishus. Best ordering website i have ever seen
Amazing customer service and food, never had a single issue. The chow mein is to die for and the fried rice is always so filling.
Usually good food, but one night tried ordering online..not so good! went to pick up my order and it had fallen out of FAX machine..so they didnt know I ordered till I got there...ALL 3 OF THEM stopped doing cleanup( mopping,sweeping etc.) and prepped my food.NOBODY WASHED THIER HANDS!!!!!!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!! Havent been back since!
I have been a customer for many years and have found the food consistently enjoyable. Entrees are large. The light rice box is a perfect lunch and is good value.
