I understand places get busy, but on a random Wednesday I waited about 45 minutes just to get my food and pay. I called my order in and was told 15 minutes, but when I got there it still took them another 5-10 minutes to even start my order after I was already in the building. I'm not trying to hate on them because the food really is good, but almost an hour of waiting was frustrating and not what I was expecting.

Really nice little family restaurant. We went about 10 miles out of the way to go here because we…read morelove Chinese food. Restaurant itself was clean but dated. More like the building itself was really old, probably no fault of the owners. I had the General Tso's chicken, it was not too spicy, maybe a little too sweet but really good. Chef's special had enough for two people easy, I could not eat it all. My compliments to the chef, it was all hot and fresh. We did not go during the buffet, we ordered off the menu. Skip the fast food if you are in the area and give it a try. Family atmosphere and a staff was really nice. I tried my wife's chicken and mushroom and it was pretty much outstanding. Fried rice wasn't what I was used to but was really good. Chef's specials (dinner menu) was around $12 but nobody is certainly going hungry! It's a LOT of food!

Whenever I make my way to Marissa I always make a trip to Sparta not just because they have a…read moreWal-Mart & other small town necessities but because of this little Chinese buffet. This Chinese buffet feels like it has been around as long as the town of Sparta itself. Over the years as this town has grown this little Chinese buffet has always remained. The place is nothing fancy but you should never walk into a Chinese buffet & expect such. Also occasionally you will see your occasional country mutant or goblin walk into here & make the people watching experience even better. The place is obviously called Rice & Fries because on top of the Chinese food they serve they serve some american dishes as well. I am not sure if that is still the case but for years they served American & Chinese food. The building is pretty nice & they keep it pretty clean. Obviously with a buffet the time of day that you arrive matters for how hot & fresh the food is. Whenever I come here I usually try to stop by around lunch time because everything is hot & fresh. The price is not bad either. There isn't really too many other quality options in the area for Chinese food & this restaurant has been around for so long that it is definitely worth the trip. Overall there is nothing very special about the place it has just been around for so long & the food is pretty good that it is always enjoyable to come here when you are in town. I would stop by here again when I am in the area.

Took a chance on trying New Kahala given the price and the Taiwanese options on the menu. Dropped…read morein on a Wed night. Ordered the pork chop rice noodle soup, lu rou fan, and the yu choy with tofu in spicy tea. - though the wheat noodle version of the pork chop noodle soup came to our table, the pork chop was full size, crisp and great match for the soup - will need to double check with the staff which noodle is on my order next time. - the lu rou fan - we realized afterwards - they had forgotten to finish it off with a soy egg and mustard greens - still a good comfort food dish (though I prefer a pork belly version) - the yu choy in spicy tea was perfect with tofu since I didn't want to make the dish heavy with a meat. Spicy tea to me is like a spicy shrimp paste described as Malaysian style at other restaurants. this dish was solid veggie option to balance our other meat heavy dishes. - the hot and sour soup and egg roll were somewhat plain as included options on the lu rou fan and yu choy (would not ding them for this since I don't expect these sides as the star) - soda fountain option with Coke products Dining in experience is a bit dimly lit...maybe creating a more relaxed environment. Chinese/Taiwanese pop was playing.

Has a lack of competition around here. The menu has a pretty good variety for a small place. Came in and it wasn't busy. It's got a pretty okay amount of tables inside. This is located in a strip mall along with a few other local restaurants. Maybe this place gets overlooked. There were a few others inside, so they knew about it though. It's about $11 for an entree. The vegetarian ones include Tofu With Mushrooms. Crispy tofu without being burnt. Entrees also come with a soup. The fried onion was one of these. Has pretty good flavors for what it is, even for those not authentic. It's located on East Grand Avenue at Wall Street. There's plenty of options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

The service was fantastic. I had hot tea and the buffet. The ambience was what you would expect from a typical Asian buffet. The food selection had many of the American Classics as well as sushi. The buffet with my hot tea cost me just under $15 after tax. I think it was a pretty good bargain as I had a full plate of teriyaki chicken.
