    That's the five shrimp by peeled minus the one my husband tasted and went yuck
    J C.

    We ordered through Uber Eats and we ordered salt and pepper shrimp which according to the menu is peeled shrimp with a salt and pepper coating and what we got was a bunch of unpeeled uncleaned shrimps with heads on with a shit ton of garlic and big chunks of jalapeño and onions and it took me 10 minutes to feel five shrimp and my husband went to Chili's

    OK THIS PLACE IS LEGIT A REALLY TASTY CHINESSE FOOD. Now that I'm back in the area, I wanted to see if there was any new spots and this place came up and I'm so happy that I came by to try it. My new favorite Chinese spot in town now that's foresure. Located right off 24th street, it was very easy to find. As soon as you walking in, you can smell the amazing aroma of the food. Extensive options to build your plate. Very good menu in my opinion. The girl working the front is super friendly and very good at her job. Asked her what she would reccomend and she told me to check out the spicy garlic chicken. THAT CHICKEN IS A 10/10. So much flavor and cooked to perfection. I got all noodles with my entree and the noddles are hands down some of the best I've had in town. They also served a good Thai tea so make sure to pick one up if you're thirsty. For a plate this large for less then $8 bucks IS SO WORTH IT. Overall, if your looking for fast, delicious, and quality Chinese food then don't look any further. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thanks Brother Express, till next time.

    Garlic and orange chicken
    Matt G.

    I had high hopes for Brothers Express, but the food was a major letdown. The orange chicken and garlic chicken were both incredibly chewy and completely lacked flavor, making them difficult to enjoy. The teriyaki chicken was just as disappointing, dry and tough, with a sauce that did nothing to help. The only highlight of the meal was the noodles. They were well-cooked and flavorful, and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star instead of two.

    I came by this place during work on my lunch, Definitely a great choice it was so yummy and good pricing. I ordered the Chow Mein and Kung Poa chicken with Thai tea.

    I travel 30 minutes to get this.. Rice isn't my fave but that chow mein is , customer service is awesome

    It might not look like much from the outside, but this place is where it's at for quick, delicious Chinese food. Nothing fancy inside, but the employees up front are so kind! They will tackle a HUGE line of people with ease and kindness. The portions are plentiful. I wasn't able to eat half of my Combo B. Everything is very fresh and their noddles are so soft!

    I asked for 2 of these cheap a** plates bc i was splitting a plate between 2 kids & the lady that works there with the tattoos all over her face said she could only give me one... i dont see what the issue was with giving me 2 plates

    The portions you get are huge. One 2 combo is $9.15, the standard fried rice or chicken mein and then 2 entrees. There is a choice of about 8 to 10 entrees. Everything looks fresh. Ordered chow mein orange chicken and coconut shrimp. There is an uocharge for shrimp. Again the portions are ample. Chow mei. I think they used spaghetti noodles? Not bad. Orange chicken needed for orange flavo, but the breading was ligh, which I appreciated. The coconut shrimp was light like a tempura batter and sauced after you ordere, but I would want more flavor. Everything was ok. Great option over the panda. They have family meals also. And they have real Sriracha for 50 cents a cup and $10 a bottle (you know you know)

    This is the "Bowl" option, Combo A. I ordered spicy chicken and half rice half chow mien.

This place is big! Perfect for big groups. We were greeted right away, and our drinks brought to us quickly There are so many options to choose from. I always love a good bowl of sizzling rice soup, so had to get that. My hubby ordered the spicy crispy beef, and I got the coconut shrimp. The crispy beef was so tender and amazing flavor. My shrimp wasn't white cream I expected on the top, it was a different color. I'm not sure why, but I didn't care it was delish. The portions are large, we will be eating the leftovers for a couple days. The owner was so nice, too. Don't let the outside fool you. Go check it out! 8/17/26

I ordered the rice bowl dinner and specifically told our server that I wanted the soft noodle chicken chow mein that comes with the meal. When my food arrived, it had crunchy noodles instead. I let the server know that this wasn't what I ordered. He seemed confused and told me to keep the plate and that he would bring me a side of chicken chow mein. Since everyone else's food was already at the table, I agreed. The problem is, he never brought it. By the time he returned, he was bringing takeout containers and the bill. I had to remind him that I was still waiting for my chow mein. A minute later, he came back with a small bowl of what appeared to be plain boiled noodles. When I explained that I had ordered chicken chow mein, he told me those were the noodles that go underneath the vegetables. At that point, I was done arguing about it. Unfortunately, the food itself wasn't much better. It was bland and lacked the flavor and quality I remember Rice Bowl having in the past. What disappointed me even more was the way my complaint was handled. I brought the issue to the owner's attention, and I felt my concerns were simply disregarded rather than taken seriously or addressed. Mistakes happen in restaurants, and I understand that, but how management responds to a customer when something goes wrong says a lot about the establishment. Rice Bowl has been a longtime Bakersfield restaurant, and I genuinely remember a time when both the food and service were much better. Based on this experience, it feels like the quality and customer service have declined significantly. We came here to celebrate my mother's birthday and left frustrated and disappointed. Unfortunately, after the poor service, bland food, incorrect order, and the way my complaint was handled by the owner, I will not be returning. I also would not consider hosting another family celebration or event here.

    Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!

Being a frequent visitor to the best regions offered in SGV, I reluctantly yielded to lunch in Bakersfield on the way home from our road trip. We sat and perused the menu and I noticed the lack of dim sum on the appetizer menu so I asked. No, they don't have any dim sum. Bummer! I was looking forward to some shu mai, egg tarts and sesame rolls I had seen in Yelp photos. Ok, no worries. My friend likes sweet & sour and we both wanted fish, so we ordered S&S cod, dry rice noodle BBQ pork, chicken breast w/mushroom and a special, honey walnut shrimp. We agreed the BBQ w/rice noodle was yum, as was the chicken breast and mushroom. The cod was a BIG disappointment. All batter, no fish. Bummer! When I tried to get the breaded coating off the cod, it was stuck like glue and the cod seemed to disintegrate. The honey walnut shrimp was slightly better, but I wasn't use to the shrimp being breaded this much. I could tell it was a different coating from the cod and lighter, so it was easy to remove, which made me think they coat the shrimp themselves, but not the cod, which seemed pre-coated, possibly frozen, then deep fried. Shrimp coating aside, my friend and I found the honey walnut shrimp sugar sweet, not honey sweet. My friend tried and didn't like. I enjoyed the nice walnuts. All plates were generous portions so we had 4 boxes of leftovers. The cod went out with the bins as soon as I got home. The restaurant itself was traditional Chinese decor. Large fish tank with a very large fish and a story that they bought it when it was about 3", then discovered it could grow to accommodate its tank. Luckily, it isn't a cod! Bathroom was clean, but the horrific A/C noise came right in through the roof, making an uncomfortable pitch in my ears. My friend got what she requested and I got what I expected. Cheers! "CC"

The lemon chicken was a standout dish--the chicken was tender and crispy, coated in a bright, tangy lemon sauce that was perfectly balanced between sweet and citrusy. I also really enjoyed the chow mein, which was packed with flavor and had a great texture with perfectly cooked noodles and vegetables. The chicken and vegetables dish was another favorite, featuring tender chicken and fresh, crisp vegetables in a light, savory sauce that let the ingredients shine. While the fried rice wasn't my personal favorite, the quality of the service more than made up for it.
