The coffee boba drink was so delicious and the service was quick. And I love the place and its Ambiance.

My wife and I ordered the Sizzling Rice Soup, Kung Pao Chicken combination plate and a Coffee Boba Tea to go and it was delicious. When I got home and we sat down to eat the food was still hot. The gentleman who took my order at the counter was very kind. I'd definitely recommend anyone to try this place. It's quiet inside, so if you're looking for a calm place with good food Rice Bowl Express is definitely a winner. read more

Most fresh chicken ever. Fried rice isn't greasy and inside restaurant is very clean also Sam is very nice

Good had no flavor. Ordered two different dishes and neither tasted good. Kung poa chicken had flakes of chicken and a ton of some sort of crunchy vegetable (I think). Rice and chow mein were bland as well. Will not return. read more

A very nice family owns this restaurant. I've been going since I was a little kid and they have always been kind. The food is amazing I love getting their teriyaki chicken bowls and their boba(especially the strawberry one). The man who usually interacts with customers is always super nice to talk to and the services is fairly quick for a restaurant. This is easily the best place to get food in our little town. read more

I love the garlic chicken combination plate as my husband loves the double chicken rice bowl. If you love spicy mustard definitely need to try theirs. Service is really good and the guy who owns it is very nice! read more

They served water is the best thing there. The food was truly the absolute worst I ever had. The sweet and sour chicken was like eating cardboard covered in sauce. Do not waste your time and money. Terrible terrible terrible. The worst Chinese food. I don't know who is cooking or how they can put that on the table without apologizing. I want to give this place a --0 score. read more

Garlic Chicken was executed nicely , not heavily sauced. Chow mein was tasty. Added a small side of veggies to this number 7 and it completed the meal. Wor Won Ton soup was full of veggies and this made the soup extra tasty on a cold Saturday (2-25-23). Very clean the waiter wiped down tables with bleach. Definitely a hidden gem in Escalon. read more

This place is a nice little mom and pop shop in town. Their service is always great, my favorite item here is their salt and pepper fish. Nice fluffy with a crisp crunch of awsomeness. Their bobba drinks are pretty fire too. read more

Rice Bowl Express - Salt and pepper fish - Chinese Near Me - Escalon, California

We ordered 2 wor wonton soups. They didn't smell great , but edible. Oh no! The pork inside the wonton was rancid. The pot stickers were made with some thick wrappers making them taste terrible and no dipping sauce except something in a packet. The sweet & sour had so little sauce and they were stuck together in a ball. Nothing was good, but the soup was horrible. We had to throw the whole thing out. First & Last time trying this restaurant. read more

Get their salt and pepper shrimp! It's FIRE!! I love this place. They give out way to much food for what you pay!

My family and I's favorite Chinese restaurant for almost 15 years! Huge food portions, great taste and friendly staff. Definitely recommend it! read more

Awesome food, great service , great family restaurant ... support your local businesses

Fast, delicious, healthy food! Money well spent for sure - great family spot . Large menu that has something for everybody.

Love their teriyaki chicken bowl (wish for more veggies tho). Never have to wait to long.

Went to this place on a recommendation of a family member and it was aweful. My husband and I had major stomach issues the next day. To be honest I will probably not come back to this place unless something changes and the food get better. I was a little worried when they told me that my food would be ready in 10 minutes. But at least we have it a shot. But not worth going back. read more

This place use to be very good, however the Lemon chicken is terrible now! Pieces are very small and hard...! Don't waste your money...! read more

The best "Chinese food" with a variety in town in MY opinion. We love the variety of food you get in a family dinner. We normally buy the dinner for 3 for our family of 4 and it comes with fried rice, chow mein, sweet & sour pork, cream cheese won tons, egg rolls, AND fried shrimp...it's a big variety. My review is for take out ONLY. They are super quick it's usually 10/15minutes. I have come in to pick up food & have noticed them neglecting dine-in customers to the point that they've come up to the register to order, this has been on Friday nights. Lastly I'm a little sad the price has gone up AGAIN!! Bringing it down a star for the prices & the way over battered shrimp. **Updated Menu as of 6/26/2018 prices went up again so check the menu ** read more

These have to be some fake reviews! me and my family dined in we drove from Riverbank.Place is dirty, bugs on the floor, utensils are dirty, place smells weird, 3/4 of the food was cold. very bland taste.Chicken didn't even taste like chicken. Service was horrible, even my napkin was dirty!. I do NOT recommend this place at all. Save yourself the time and money and go to a better Chinese restaurant. Trash trash trash! read more

As a first timer, I am very impressed with this place. I went in to get a couple of Boba drinks (they were delicious). As I was waiting for my drinks, I had a nice conversation with the owner who was very polite and had great service. I was going through the menu and the food looks so delicious! If I had more time I would have ordered the cream cheese wontons. I will definitely be back! read more

Best Chinese food I've ever eaten. Great service and good food friendly place to visit.. 100% recommended.

On the way to Murphy's to shoot a wedding at a local vineyard. We're getting hungry...for some CHINESE food. i'd been craving some stir-fried vegetables and maybe some sliced chicken. We saw a sign out of the corner of our eyes - that we THOUGHT was the familiar font used for the "Flame Broiler' chain of restaurants found in SoCal. Not this time - it was for the "Rice Bowl Express". Figured we'd try it. Oh my...WONDERFUL flavor. All the cool veges were there: waterchestnuts, cabbage(or bok choy), sliced carrots, sprigs of crisp broccoli, snowpeas, bean sprouts - and of course, the sliced and marinated chicken...yummy! Only thing was: it was SO hot, it took awhile to cool down to the point where i could TASTE the flavors themself. ...and the portions were HUGE! Almost couldn't eat it all. Great find! Now i have a reason to go Escalon again. Unfortunately, on our way back through, they hadn't opened yet, so we had to leave and find another place to munch-out. read more

This place is horrible. I ordered a double chicken rice bowl to go. I get home and start mixing the sauce in the rice bowl an I find a pubic hair in the rice bowl. My family will never eat at this disgusting restaurant again. read more

Rice Bowl Express - the inside of a styrofoam container - Chinese Near Me - Escalon, California

Take Out Experience: Called in the afternoon during rush hour (1PM) for lunch take out. I order the #4 combo: Tin Foil Chicken, Pork Chow Mein, and Pork Fried Rice. Told me that it would be ready 10-15 minutes. Came 18-20 minutes later and walked in to have the food ready for me to take. The employee running the cash register was kind and friendly. He said that he hope I enjoy the food and come back again. Brought the food to my car where immediately notice a leak in the styrofoam. Opened it up and obviously there was so much oil used in the making of every single item in the combo. Slippery and full of MSG. Super not healthy for you! Tin Foil Chicken was a little sicken after eating only two. Couldn't finish the pork chow mein because was just stoked in oil while the fried rice was manageable but still oily. Take out came with chili sauce which basically saved the meal to add it flavor so that I could mask a little bit of that overwhelming oil taste. Giving two stars for the speed & readiness of the take out along with the friendly customer service, but not giving any additional stars for the food. Note: Asian food is my specialty. If you like, good for you! I'm just sharing my opinion and experience. read more

Just garbage, every time i come here they are out of the one thing i enjoy here. They wouldnt give me a side of teriyaki, they said it would cost 4 dollars for a small plastic cup. If you can just go somewhere else dont waste your time stopping. read more

I used to eat here obsessively when I lived in Escalon. There are definitely items that I think are ok, but some of them I love and can't find anywhere else as delicious! It is not my favorite chow mein. My absolute favorite is their won ton soup and tin foil chicken. I like that they have so many options. I like the prices. I like how quickly they serve. :) Also, everyone is very polite! I will continue to support them anytime I go into Escalon. read more

Ended up going there after group changed mind. Did carryout. Sweet and sour chicken was horrible and had little taste. Little chicken was served just breaded mystery meat. Ever hear of pineapples? Others got chicken teriyaki which looked more edible. Pork fried rice was was bad and lo mein noodles were a pile of greasy bland noodles. Lowered review to 1 star. They give you a ton of rice and noodles. I hope the garbage can enjoyed it because that is where most of ended up. read more
