This place is amazing if you like Chinese food! It's always fast and friendly and we always get it to go so I don't have much to say about the ambience for the place but like I said, the food is amazing and it's fast and I didn't say it's not very expensive. Been going here for years. read more

Was craving Asian food. Hadn't been here in years. What a mistake! The food is great! Large portions and very tasty. Really quite inside but worth stopping by or ordering take out! read more

It's a bias review because this place does have some of the best fried rice meals I have tried, it's a comfort and a to go for me! And the place is always kept cleaned and the Staff are sweet people, yes some dishes could use some work or maybe attention to them but they are still decent pretty good prices with great portions, I do recommend the food ! :) read more

Food was just ok. Great portion size. Seems a little pricey. I got the sesame chicken and it's not as good as other places. I didn't care for the sauce. Spring roll was ok. Chicken egg roll was gross. Way too greasy. read more

Went to Bowl and Chopsticks for a week night dinner date night. My husband and I received quick service in getting seated. We were able to place our orders without any problems. The food came out and was accurate. I loved that the restaurant was quite, made the moment even more special. read more

The food was not that great at all. The orange chicken was dry no sauce. It didn't have the orange zest tasting I wanted . They do give a large amount of food but it was a waste for me as we did not eat it. I probably will not go back. read more

Not bad! I went to another Chinese restaurant here in Allen, but it was closed down. I took out my faithful Yelp app and it directed me to Bowl & Chopstix. Not sure I would have come here on my own, but I was in the mood for some Asian food. Sometimes ya just gotta follow suggestions and do it! I ordered at the counter and then decided to eat in house. I had the string bean beef, not what I expected, but it was ok. I think I was expecting it to be a little drier, especially the beans. They use canned beans too. Not my favorite. I have this idea in my head that every Chinese restaurant uses fresh green beans. I know, I need to move on. I also expected it to be spicy, turned out to be fairly bland. The white rice was spot on! The service is super fast and the servers keep the tables bussed quickly. The front area is clean. In a pinch I'd for sure go back. Since I had one order to go and one in house the staff did not make my second order till I was ready to go. Kudos to the wait staff for understanding and accommodating me. Grateful for good staff. I'm sure I'll return. 2018/57 read more

I don't know what has happened to this place. It was one of our favorites when we lived nearby. We happened to be passing through Allen tonight with a big craving so we stopped here. The only thing that was up to par was the potstickers. The peanut sauce for the fresh rolls had a really weird flavor. The pad Thai was incredibly bland and the Singapore fried rice was just plain inedible. Maybe it was just a bad night, but we won't be back. Two stars for the friendliness of the staff and the quick service. read more

Bbq pork sauce too watery. Bbq pork sliced too thinly. Bbq pork super dry and did not taste good at all.

This place is amazing! They give generous portions and the food is full of flavor. I went in right after lunch last week and went back twice the next week. I recommend the hunan beef! read more

I have to say the Hot and Sour soup is some of the best I have ever had!!! The crab rangoons are big and wonderful!!

The portions are hefty and food is fresh and tasty! One entree could feed two hungry adults! The crab ragoons are perfectly fried and have a good amount of filling! The prices are also really good! Highly recommend! read more

Best Chinese food! The sauces on food item are so flavorful!! Very courteous service. read more

The absolute BEST Cashew Chicken I've EVER had !!! Fresh, delicious. Crispy veggies ,crunchy cashews and wonderful brown sauce!!! Love it!!

Unsanitary! Do not order from here. Ordered online to pick up. They had given my order to someone else. I asked them to make another order and instead of making a new order they called the person who they gave my food to to tell them to bring it back. When I let them know that I did not want food that had already been handled they became angry and told me "it was only gone for 30 minutes". They were reluctant to refund my money or make a new order. read more

I've eaten here for quite some time, but they have added a lot of items to the menu. In particular, they added Pho and do a pretty good job at making it. I like the fact that I can bring my kids here and find something they both like (they are picky eaters). I gave it three stars because threes no real WOW FACTOR. It's good quick food and it always tastes great. I love the truth, it's like rain and just doesn't care where it falls... LOL Truth is, there's one of these in most cities, this one just happens to be in mine. The "go to Chinese food place". read more

I feel this gem is often missed as one cruises by on Greenville but it is by far my favorite place to pickup savory tasty Chinese food. the staff is small and the place is never super packed so service is immediate, quick and,perfect Much love to the guys and gals who work here read more

I stop here twice a year when I get my oil change every 6 months thanks to their neighbor. I absolutely love their Beef Egg Rolls! Beef Egg Rolls are hard to find as most restaurants only have pork, chicken or vegetable. My order of Chicken Lo Mein weighed almost two pounds very impressed, but had little chicken. The Hot and Sour Soup was also delicious! I would order from here every week if they offered GrubHub or DoorDash, but they don't. read more

Dined in today. Covid protocols were followed, service was efficient and food was good!

let me first admit that i try to refrain from commercialized chinese food, but today was one of those days where Royal Chopstix was the most convenient since it is in my neighborhood and I was in a rush. Unfortunately, every time I've been to Royal Chopstix I have been underwhelmed. This time was slightly different and there were some ups and downs. Pluses: They do have some of the best veggie egg rolls i've ever eaten, even compared to authentic chinese eateries. Plus they are super large. I could get full just from the eggroll and soup. The food is made to order They have the spicy mustard that I like. The kind with horseradish and that goes through your nose Lunch specials are cheap for what you get (an entree, an eggroll, soup and a drink for one price.) Most places do not include the drink nor do they give you both a soup AND eggroll. The food is just okay. You can't be that picky about cheap, chain chinese. But for like 6 bucks, you're getting a steal for made to order basic chinese The customer service is good and timely Minuses: Royal Chopstix is supposed to be chinese. They recently added my fave THAI soup (Tom Yum) to their menu, so I tried it. It was a disgrace! Absolutely disgusting. I wasted it because it was too nasty to digest. Someone needs to advise that they remove this from their menu. They don't have waiter/waitress service, which is okay for a fast food chinese place. My issue is, since they don't have wait staff, they need a place for people who dine in to dump their own trash or dispose of their own dishes. When you dine in at Royal Chopstix, the food is delivered on real dishes. When you are done eating, you have no choice but to leave the table filled with your dirty dishes. It looks tacky. And if you are walking into the establishment and see several tables filled with dirty dishes, it makes you re-evaluate your decision to dine there. When I walked in today, there were several empty tables with dirty dishes. They need a better process to clean empty tables or they need to provide a place for people to pick up after themselves....or have wait staff. read more

Great portions and amazing food for the price. My wife and I got mandarin chicken and noodles and sesame chicken with brown rice. The food quality was excellent and very flavorful. The noodles where some of the best I've had and the mandarin chicken had just right level of spice to bring out the flavor. The sesame chicken was very well prepared and the sauce was delicious. We thought at first this was a Panda Express type fast food place, but here you sit and order and enjoy a fresh cooked meal. The prices are perfect. Same you'd pay for a fast food meal. The chicken plates where each $6.25. We are rating 4 stars; for us that means the food was amazing, the place was clean and friendly. To get a 5 would just need professional servers and stronger ambiance. We will be back, many times. read more

Really bummed because the food was the definition of subpar. I got lo mein, hot and sour soup, and spring rolls. The lo mein was the most edible out of all. All items lacked flavor. Lo mein was dry and flavorless. Soup was bland as well. Positives are the place seemed really clean and the lady checking me out was sweet and helpful. Just bummed by the quality of the food. I mean BLAND. read more

Do you love stomach cramps and diarrhea? Then this place is for you. Now my review is about a year old but after what happened to us I think it's still relevant. W This was our go to place for Chinese food. We ordered our usual which is combo fried rice and egg rolls got home and started chowing down. After about 10 minutes my wife noticed something crawling on one of the menus...a maggot! Holy "your expletive here". Needless to say it took me almost a year before I could go into any Chinese restaurant. Texas should follow California and make restaurants post their health grade by the door. Avoid this place! read more

Delicious Chinese food, friendly staff, large portions. It's definitely the best available Chinese food I've had in north Texas. Check it out! read more

Some of the worst Chinese food I've eaten. The vegetables were limp and tasteless. Ot seemed like the vegetables were par-boiled ahead of time and simply reheated with the sauce and par-boiled meats. The sauce was thin and wouldn't cling to the food. I tried other family members meals and all seemed the same. I will not be back. read more

I finally found my favorite place to get food. Too often I get a place that just lightly fried the rice, or only gives dark meat, or don't listen to instructions, or the food doesn't taste good. EVERYTHING I ordered was PERFECT. Chicken, plump, white meat (upon request) and the honey sauce was delicious with a nice kick. The fried rice was fried right, glistening with that amber brown fried color. Service is quick, staff is friendly, and they are now our go to spot for all our take out. read more

First time ordering from this place went inside and ordered to go waited a very long time. Got two meals sweet n sour chicken with fried rice and sesame chicken with Lo mien. Everything was horrible. Sesame chicken was crunchy with little sauce. Noodles were bland and dry with wired looking chunks in it. Rice was bland also and sweet n sour chicken was not like normal sweet n sour chicken iv gotten at other places. Sum it up won't try again, no flavor, rather drive to Plano to visit tasty egg roll I have no hope for Chinese food in Allen. read more

I had been craving chinese food and was hoping this would help. I stoped by Royal Chopstix last night. I ordered the Chicken with Cashew Nuts and a Crispy Spring Roll. Although it was housed in a lovely environmentally-unfriendly styrofoam container, my food was still very hot when I got back home. The spring roll was decent. Although I wouldn't order it again... I just dont like shrimp in my spring rolls. As for the Chicken with Cashew Nuts... um, apparently Green Bell Peppers were on sale the last time they had a produce delivery, because that was the only vegetable in my dish. And they were huge chunks of pepper. I picked most of it out. The fried rice was good enough to calm my chinese food craving for a little while. I'm moving in August, so I doubt I'll have another craving that bad within the next 56 days. read more

I reviewed this place a while back but I have to amend it now. Royal Chopstix started out as a great Chinese place owned and ran by a nice Vietnamese couple. I was not sure what happened, but sometime later the quality of the food went downhill...so much that I could not stomach to eat there. Recently a good friend of mine asked me out to lunch and wanted to come here. I was not really in the mood for it but I went anyway. I am glad I did. Things are back to the way the were a couple of years ago. The food is hot and fresh and very tasty. read more

Same owners as it had with Royal Chopsticks just dropped the chain tie - ins It has a more extensive menu than it did before. Good inexpensive Chinese food. Not out of this world food but good for the price. For dinning in it is now sit down service. Service was quick and friendly. read more

I was out running errands and decided based on other reviews to give it a try. I ordered Sweet & Sour chicken as a safe bet. Ever get your plate and think, "I should send it back and get a refund?" That was me. I got a plate of fried battered chicken with sauce on the side. No bell pepper or pineapple in sight. Fried rice with no green onion at all and a greasy cabbage egg roll that I only had one bite of. I won't be back. Pei Wei tastes better read more

Average. Good food but pricey. Went in for convenience and new to the area so may or may not return. They would need more deals for me to consider. read more

Not sure if management changed...but we used to love this place. The food seems to have gone a little down in quality in the last year. Boyfriend usually gets the chicken fried rice and I usually get...something different every time. They never seem to get the spice level right on mine...I like it screaming hot. Maybe we'll try again and see if it's changed... read more

I loved this place when it was Rice Bowl. I started going to another Chinese place for a few years and thought I would try Rice Bowl again. I noticed the name change and was hoping the food was just as good. Like others have mentioned in reviews something has changed. And not for the better. Within 24 hours of eating here I started to experience severe stomach cramps. Then the diarrhea hit me. It is now 16 hours later and I am still having severe stomach cramps. Please heed my warning as well as others about this place. Something is not right with the food. I will not be back and I will spread the word. read more
