First time here and 10/10 We live at the Riverstone community and was on the search for a new food place and being that RICE BOWL was five minutes away we gave it a try. Environment/ Ambiance: This Chinese food restaurant is definitely a Mom and Pop vibe place, the inside definitely showed some age, but overall it is clean. We went when it first opened so we were the only customer there. Food: We ordered spicy crispy chicken (9/10) and orange chicken with bacon fried rice (8.5/10). Whenever I order spicy chicken at other restaurants, it is usually never spicy, but this place actually had a bit of kick. I would definitely order again. The pricing is very decent and you get a good amount of food. Service: The service was quick and Lilly was super friendly. We informed her it was our first time there and she was very patient and ask if we had any questions. Lilly even gave us FREE fried bananas (9/10) and a strawberry smoothie drink with crystal boba (7.5/10). This was extremely nice and welcoming of them, definitely showed they care about their customers. The fried bananas were crispy and sweet and it came as 6 pieces, I would for sure order these next time. I recommend this place especially if you live near by don't want to drive far into Fresno!! We will certainly become regulars. read more

We were nearby and decided to give this place a try.. wouldn't come again. The food was terrible.. we ordered two teriyaki bowls and an orange chicken plate with bacon fried rice and fried noodles.. no flavoring, the noodles definitely had none-- they weren't lying, it was definitely fried but that seems about it.. hardly any bacon in the fried rice.. the orange chicken tasted like a day old batch but surely not fresh! The smoothie was watered down and tasted like mud water. The customer service was the only thing that had value! Ps. update your price board.. read more

Went in to try one of the milk teas. I got a taro milk tea with brown sugar boba. Not good. It was sour. I haven't tried the food yet but the tea was NOT good. read more

Rice Bowl - Taro Milk Tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Madera, California

Their prices on the menu isn't up to date and they won't disclose their new prices unless prompted . The food I had issues with were the noodles and orange chicken. The noodles were bitter and burnt, on more than 2 orders. The orange chicken was mushy, and sour. I did find the teriyaki chicken to be somewhat edible. read more

Great people, great food-especially considering it's such a small place-it's our go to in the Ranchos!

Food & Service is wonderful. Love the teriyaki chicken...& I add noodles or chow mien in place of the rice.

I had orange chicken w/pan fried noodles. Noodles were rather bland so I put teriyaki sauce on them. My husband had spicy shrimp with fried rice. We also had 2 egg rolls and two smoothies with bubbles. Don't really recommend bubbles in smoothies. Bill was $44. Thought this was high for lunch prices. Staff person was super nice. Eating area small. read more

Wayy to expensive for no reason....the wait is stupidly long for no reason...it was very mediocre food. The Thai tea was good, don't get boba...it's just not made right:,( read more

Excellent service good food, I will recommend this place to my friends and family and everyone in my community, go and try it.

Amazing food. Awesome cook. Hidden delicious restaurant. I see a great deal of untapped business. Hint: Show you sign in the photos so everyone knows what it looks like from the parking lot. read more

Ordered takeout and it took the average 25 minutes. The food was very good, good portions. I ordered the bacon fried rice and the bacon was a lot too crispy for my liking but it was still good. The shrimp teriyaki was very good. I also ordered the Kung Pao Chicken with pan fried noodles were delicious and crispy. Overall very tasty and fast, friendly service. read more

This is the best Asian food in Madera county . The owner is very nice and every single dish they serve is made fresh. No gluey-starchy sauces . The food is very good every time. The owner is a great person and employer, and we should support his business and eat well at the same time. read more

Being a local resident, I wanted to give this place a try, so I ordered Mongolian beef combo and an order of beef steak bowl. When I came back to get the food, the lady at the register gave me one order in a bag, and I asked where my beef steak bowl was located, she found my receipt and noticed another patron who was sitting there eating my Mongolian beef combo thinking it was his Kung Pao Chicken which was in my hands as the lady swapped the two orders. That was fine until she took back the other patron's half eaten Mongolian beef and took it back into the kitchen and the cook soon in two minutes had magically cooked, what he claims is a new order of Mongolian beef, came out of the kitchen stating my order is completed. I was so disgusted that they had no shame in taking half eaten meal, God knows what they kept and took out and re-served the half eaten mess to me. I asked for a refund but the kitchen cook grabbed some sort of bag with food and said the old one is here and of course missing the beef steak bowl that was placed in, the new claimed completed order. I told them forget the refund, as I will never ever come back here ever again, and risk food poisoning or what the other patron may have. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! read more

Driving back from Fresno and stubbled across Rice Bowl. Perfect locally owned restaurant in the Ranchos area. It had a nice homey feel and the staff there were great and explained each dish well. It's definitely a must try if your in the area read more

Great food, I've been going here since I was a little boy and any time I go out to the Madera Ranchos I always try to stop by. Ever hungry now u know where to go! read more

Hole in the wall stop. If you blink while cruising past on 12 you'll miss it. The bacon fried rice is somewhat simple in comparison to others, but the flavor is out of the park. When I think fried rice now, this is what I taste. All around great food, hands down best fried rice. read more

Great food and awesome flavors!!! The guy at the front was so kind and offered us small samples of items while we waited for our food. So on top of our orders for Kung pow and lemon grass chicken we got to try the sweet potato fries with a miso aoli and fried bananas. Yum! read more

Chicken and rice bowl special can be a little dry and stiff to chew. Rice is good. I love the bacon fried rice and the stemmed veggies

Worst "Chinese" food I've ever had. Ordered the chicken bowl and a side of egg rolls. It was questionable if the chicken was even chicken. Wasn't even any teriyaki on the chicken. The egg rolls weren't even cooked all the way. Greasy and cold. I will never return. read more

Was not to sure about trying this place but to my surprise it was actually really good I will be returning we had the teriyaki rice bowl and a honeydew smoothie with boba and the boba or really tender and smaller then usual. Not sure about the rest of the items. read more

Quick service and very friendly. The Egg Flower soup was very good. I requested grilled chicken instead fried and it was pretty good. I have tried their fried last time and to me it was a bit over cooked. They do have WiFi and Canada's Laughs and Gags was playing on the TV. So even though it's a small place I enjoy the atmosphere. And can't beat the price for the food you get. I like that there are dishes without noodles or rice and they do offer gluten free noodles if you require that type of diet. I'll come back for the soup though!!! read more

Doug and his team can get really busy because the locals love this place. But the food is worth waiting a few minutes for! I loved the San Fran style noodles and tender beef strips!! The smoothies were amazing!! A comprehensive menu and fresh and tasty ingredients make this place an authentic Asian fusion experience but fast!!! Try the fried bananas and the milk tea, you will come back again and again. This little hole in the wall style restaurant is a real treasure in the Ranchos!!! read more

Great food, bacon fried rice- the best, everything I've tried here is really good. Tonkatsu pork is the bomb.

A solid Ranchos choice for quick Asian food bowls/plates/and boba. The combo bowl is the one for me.

I have been eating here since high school and I keep going back. Rice Bowl has the BEST chicken chow mein! Their prices are super affordable and you always get a large serving so there is plenty for everyone. I definitely recommend stopping by!! read more

Decided to try the Rice Bowl out for dinner (Lee's kitchen) was closed today we noticed this little place across the street and agreed to give it a try- it's a small quaint little restaurant has a couple of booths and a table or two nothing fancy we placed our order which was bacon fried rice, pan fried noodles and orange chicken. For drinks we ordered Thai teas- The rice was decent I couldn't find the bacon it looked more like chunks of ham than bacon the pan fried noodles were good as was the orange chicken. Our son ordered a teriyaki bowl this was very tasty and definitely filling for him. The servings were decent and filling the prices are also pretty reasonable for three of us we spent $30 and that's including our drinks which were pretty tasty! In a nutshell we would come back and visit the rice bowl for lunch or dinner. The service was good and that is something important to us. read more

Small place but food has always been ! Service has always been incredible. The guy who takes the orders in the front is super helpful and nice. The bacon friend rice is a MUST HAVE as well as the orange chicken. Smoothies are all sooo good. We haven't had a bad flavor yet. My girls love the little jelly things in them also. Portions are really good size. All around our fav Chinese spot. read more

I stopped here on my way to work based on all the good reviews for this place...I'm sorry but I don't get it. I am giving two stars because the man working was really really nice but I can't help but feel like I threw away 10 bucks on this meal. I ordered the veggie tempura and a the chicken teriyaki bowl. Let me just say, when made correctly, tempura is one of my all time favorite things to eat...but if we are being totally honest, I ate two pieces and threw the rest away. It was soggy and had a really bizarre taste...just...not what I expect from good tempura. The rice bowl was...alright but the rice tasted old and the chicken wAs really dry. I didn't eat it...that's the only reason I am leaving this review...I just wasn't able to eat the food they gave me and that is...unacceptable read more

Customer service was really great! The lady was super nice and let me create a combo out of an a la cart menu. I also asked for a green tea which they were out of, but she gave me a free drink instead, which was just fine with me. I wasn't even upset they were out, it was just a popular drink and I was too late lol. Very accommodating! The food is great too! I got an orange chicken combo with the pan fried noodles and their bacon fried rice. Really impressed. I live in Fresno, but I will be back! read more

I love the food here as I come here almost every week. I get the chicken chow main and a different flavor smoothie. There are so many different flavors to choose from so I've been making my way down the list with a different one every visit. Vanilla and Mango have been my favorite so far. Staff is very friendly, restaurant is clean, and the food is great at a reasonable cost. They have quickly become my favorite Chinese food restaurant since I first gave them a try. read more
