Smokin'Hubster picked out K's Oriental Food for dinner and it paid off. It was easy to call in the…read moreorder, was ready for pick up in 25 minutes and away we went. There's a small parking lot next to the restaurant. The sign says 'Dine In' but I don't think that's happening anymore. They also accept credit cards, sort of surprising for a tiny spot. The portions are super generous. We'll have lunch as well as dinner! I ordered the House Lo Mein based on comments shared on Yelp! and I was not disappointed. It tasted good and the flavors were balanced. SH got the Sesame Chicken and actually let me try some. The sauce was light and not too sweet, which I also thought tasted good. The chicken pieces were a bit big but not unmanageable. We also split an order of pork egg rolls, which probably tasted best right out of the fryer but were still yummy when we got them home. Reasonably priced, large portions and easy parking; consider us fans!

The chicken was not remotely spicy despite our request for spice. The woman taking orders could try to slow down her communication on the phone. Ordering was hard.

The food and the service were both great! We were there thanksgiving weekend and they had the…read morecutest Santa hats fitted onto the backs of their chairs. Food took a while to come out and only one dish at a time. For our family of 6, that meant that most people's food would be cold if you're waiting for everyone to be served before you eat. While waiting for the food I was mesmerized by the sweets being made on the TV. Only thing I would change is I would recommend they get a heated space for dishes to stay warm while waiting for others to be made. No one felt comfortable eating while others were still waiting for their food.

Hot, fresh, cooked with love. This was a college staple 10 years ago when Aoy and Josh were running…read morethe shop so I figured they'd put the Rice Paddy in good hands after retirement and they did not disappoint. Nang and her husband are absolute gems (she does the cooking, he takes the orders and serves with a smile!). They learned the recipes and techniques from Aoy, the OG, and they still do it just as great. I had the grilled orange chicken, wontons, and hot and sour soup (absolutely to die for, my favorite spicy soup for kicking a cold). The food was piping hot, huge portions, great taste and flavor, and I had a great time learning about the business in its new hands! The building is exactly the same as it's always been--a homey ambiance, small counter for ordering with a few stools for the patiently waiting customers, to-go meal supplies like cutlery and napkins, and local business cards hung by the door promoting the other hard workers in this little Yooper town. Rice Paddy is the gem of Marquette and I have a feeling it always will be. (Pro tip: grab an order of Rice Paddy and head over to the Wooden Nickel for a beverage with your meal or park at Presque Isle for a picnic!)

I got it, and it was like white rice and sauce. The sweet-and-sour sauce was so heavy and sweet on it. The chicken had no batter/ breading. The vegetables were soggy. I then ordered a shrimp eggroll what was like eating coleslaw deep fried, nothing like an eggroll I ever ate. Crab wontons, average. All for 27.00 never going back!

I ordered vegetable curry and was given a chicken dish. We had to leave the table to find our server because they never checked on us. Also, bussing here consists of wiping food onto the floor and leaving it there.

I can't lie in the grand scheme of buffets it's... rather on the lower end. But for the upper peninsula it's absolutely fire. Not many sweets but you're mainly here for the food so. The noodle variety was good and a lot of fried options which are very yummy but a bit similar. The Rangoons are soft here though so a little iffy on that. Theres not terrible many vegetable options maybe 3 or 4 but a good amount of fruit. there was also no plain rice only yellow with vegetables . I really enjoyed the skinnier noodles though as seen in the picture. Since it's a buffet the service isn't a big deal they got me my water and I was satisfied .

The food is very good--I ordered the chicken with broccoli and my husband had the honey chicken. Food is brought to the table fast and piping hot. The prices are reasonable. The phone rang nonstop and I quickly figured out that this is more popular for takeout than dining in. The dining room is rather small and has a LOT of crystal on display. (A bull in China Lily would have a field day, but I digress.) The only negative: even for dining in, meals are served in styrofoam containers...nooooo! Cups are styrofoam. Utensils are single-use plastic. While I love the food I am guilt-ridden about the waste. Please, Lily, consider real plates and flatware and paper takeout containers. We will love you even more!!

Great food! Nice people. Prompt service. Easily accessible. Good hours. Our go to for Chinese.read more
