Genuinely my favorite place to eat. Will always choose Rice Bowl when given the option! Excellent food and excellent service every time!

Very difficult to review. The steamed dumplings are among the best I've had and stands up to any actual restaurant in Asia. However, the communication breakdown can literally burn you. I ordered the "Chef's Special" with no warning its heat level would be listed as "nuclear reactor meltdown," because I actually like spicy food but I like breathing more. The owners immediately lost all their previous English and just pretended they couldn't understand me but by holding my neck and saying "to hot, you need to warn people!" The lady actually held up a jar and said, "tips here." With proper warnings this place could be a gemstone....such a shame. read more

I have been coming to Rice Bowl since they opened. They are always delicious, very friendly and the best spicy cucumbers I have had. I have moved away from New Albany but always stop by here when I'm in town. read more

Family owned Korean restaurant that offers excellent Asian foods of all types. My go-to is the hot stone bibimbap with beef. SO delicious! The restaurant itself is very plain and simple - you enter through the back door. But it's also clean and the service is excellent. read more

Upon entering, the staff was kind and quickly sat us to our seat and gave us time to order. They have a pretty big menu from Korean to Japanese to Chinese food. It was definitely a fusion place which surprised me a little but I liked the variety. I got the japchae noodles and my boyfriend got the fire cracker chicken which he heard was good. Both were tasty and the portion was big so that made the price very reasonable! This is a cute family restaurant that I'm glad I was able to check out. Definitely a good place for Asian fusion food :) read more

Almost past this spot, from the outside it looks like a big old house rather than a restaurant. *** NOTE: Parking in the back is the best option since the ramp to the main entrance leads to the back parking lot. My party included two adults and three children ages 2-8. Both adults had the Chicken Bibimbap, one gluten-free and one regular, each was superb! Just the right combination of ingredients and sauce. Two children shared the Chicken Stir-Fry Lo Mein and loved it. One child had the Chicken Nuggets kids meal with fries. The fries were so full of oil they were not edible. Like you could literally squeeze the oil from them. I brought this to the attention of the waitress and she advised the manager and they gave us a three dollar discount for the fries. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. Just note I would never order fries there again. read more

I travel here for work and I looked this place up on Yelp and I did not regret it. The food was amazing not had so much flavor and was cooked so well. The seafood pancake was crunchy on the outside and soft and savory in the inside. There was so much seafood in it. I don't like onions so next time I will ask if they will remove them. It was so rich. The seafood stew was so good. Perfectly spicy for me (I don't like it when it's extra spicy and you can't taste your food). And lots of seafood in it too. Both portions are very big. read more

The food is always really good and fresh. The staff is very friendly and the food always comes in the right amount of time and hot.

I love this little place. It's so yummy and affordable. I haven't had anything bad, but I love all of the Korean dishes. Love getting a boba or jelly tea too. I always pick up, so I'm not sure how the service or vibe is while dining in, but the service is always great when I get takeout. They mostly have Japanese and Korean dishes, but definitely try Rice Bowl out if you like any kind of Asian food! read more

Excellent and filling. Large portions for dinner served up quickly and hot. Friendly staff and good choice for some tasty flavorful eats. Parking in the rear so looks like no one there, but they are inside eating. Yum. read more

The service is fantastic and our waitress was very kind. The ambiance is small mom and pop, type of energy, which I loved. The waitress introduced me to bibimbap, and it changed my life forever. So good!!! Took some friends with me the following week. Can't recommend it enough! read more

We've eaten here twice and the food is amazing!!! The Korean bibimbap is delicious! I've had the beef, and my daughter has had the fried tofu. My husband ordered some kind of chicken lo mein stir fry that he called "amazing". That is high praise coming from him. The house spicy beef Ramen is very good, as is the miso Ramen. The egg rolls and mochi ice cream are really good. The crab Rangoon is savory instead of sweet, which was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent both times! Being fairly new to traditional Asian food, we had lots of questions. Our wait staff gladly answered everything. It's nothing fancy, and it's on the small side, but I love that about it! We plan on going back often. It's a great place! read more

Our food was all delicious and good quality, I especially liked the beef bulgogi, and our waitress was friendly and attentive. The pricing was also great. read more

This is in my top five favorite restaurants in the area. Rice Bowl is tucked back off the road in an unassuming little building. Parking is in the rear. I've never had a bad meal here. While there are a few standouts on the menu, every single dish that I've tried was delicious and plentiful. My current favorite is (K12) the Rice Bowl Chef Special. Tender, white meat chicken accompanied by a heaping mound of vegetables and mushrooms in a flavorful, spicy sauce and served with a side of steamed rice. It's delicious and filling. Always get a side of kimchi. The Beast and Spawn B are fans of the General Tso's Chicken. The sauce is the star of this dish. It's sweet, spicy, complex. Also served with a side of rice. I try to go during the lull between lunch and dinner because this place stays pretty busy and I don't like crowds. The staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Very good hot pot. If you like really spicy food get the spicy seafood, but be forewarned that it is extremely spicy. My husband and I both ordered or own which was a mistake. One order is plenty to share. read more

I just wanted to say I love your food but please cut the salt. My order has been very salty lately from seafood pancakes to beef bulgogi. Like why include the extra soy sauce if it's already salty. From now on I will have to include a message when I order my food to say, please don't add salt. Aside from that the food selection is great. read more

Great food at a fair price and nice size portions. My favorite fried rice in the area!!

What went well? EVERYTHING- this place is tucked into an old house and pretty inconspicuous but absolutely SERVES. Upon entering you're always greeted warmly and if you're my kids then you join the resident child that comes to work with his momma and while waiting for a table you can enjoy some Cocomelon sing a longs I always order the Stir Fry Lo Mein with chicken and share it with my son while my daughter orders the chicken nuggets and french fries because this place knows what it takes to get a whole family to eat here and my husband will usually get the Pad Thai with chicken. They also have sweet tea that is delicious and their Miso Soup is KILLER. Every time we have had family come to visit us, we bring them straight here and enjoy some lovely times together. I've never felt rushed or hushed by staff and the place is always kept nice and tidy. This is our new family restaurant and we're so glad to have found it. Also, they're on DoorDash, you're welcome! read more

Don't know what I ate, but it was delicious! Service was good and quick. Nice and quiet.

A family owned spot that seems to cater its taste for Asian foods in Chinese, Korean and Japanese with a bit of Thai. Very home styled recipes very delicious. Worth a try so far. I really like a place that serves quality tea that's a big plus. The bibimbap was ok the hot pot didn't manage to crisp the bottom enough and the egg wasn't runny enough and the pepper paste (Gochujang) was not to be found However it was quite delusions Service 4 stars polite and very helpful Atmosphere 3 stars quaint, a bit dark but quite intimate with a family or friend group. Price: $$$ a bit high Bathrooms 2 stars read more

Good service and good food. The hot stone bi bum bap is really good. I would stick with the Korean food. The ramen is only mediocre. Not ramen noodles and soup base needs some stepping up. Spicy cucumber appetizer was missing something too. All vinegar and not enough spice. Milk teas are on the watery side. read more

Oh. My. Gosh. This food was delicious. We picked up carry out last week and even after driving over 30 minutes back to our home, the food was still incredible. We ordered the Bulgogi, Tonkatsu, and the shrimp shumai as an appetizer. The Bulgogi was amazing- no complaints at all. The tonkatsu was a bit tough and chewy but the sauce with it was really good. The dumplings were also super good! Our order was ready quickly. The building looks a little questionable from the outside but this is definitely one of the best meals I have had in a while. read more

We got egg rolls, steak Bibimbap, chicken fried rice, and firecracker chicken. Everything was outstanding. Easily the best fried rice I've ever had, the egg rolls are vegetarian but still very good. The firecracker chicken has that addictive spicy thing going on which I really like. Service is fast and friendly.

I have been looking for a place to get good General Tso chicken for a very LONG time. All the good sit down Chinese restaurants that were around when I was young, went out of business when the wave of Chinese buffets swept the nation. Ive traveled all over Louisville and have read countless reviews trying to find something even remotely close to the General Tso chicken I used to get as a teen. Rice Bowl is a Korean restaurant specializing in ramen and rice bowls, BUT.... They have some Chinese dishes that are amazing also. Their General Tso chicken is one of them! The sauce isn't that thick gel like substance you get a lot of places and it actually has onions, carrots, and green pepper in the dish also. The chicken is fried to crispy perfection and I just cant tell you enough about the sauce and how delicious it is.... Hands down the best in southern indiana! Must try! read more

I'm so glad I finally got to try Rice Bowl. My daughter is so picky, but she loved it as did I. I had the spicy beef noodle bowl and I was nervous ordering it because I don't like a lot of spice so I asked if they could make it the least spicy as possible and it wasn't too spicy at all. It was perfect. The meat in both of our dishes (she had Miso Ramen) was so tender and juicy and the vegetables had that perfect crisp when you bit into it. We also tried the pork on a stick just because even though I knew our entrees would be plenty and it was really cool as it came out on a lit little oven that cooked it as it sat there and the pork also had a teriyaki sauce on it. The service was spectacular also. Didn't want to leave that out. read more

So tasty every time. I need to explore the menu more but I always get the same thing- pork bulgogi. Comes out piping hot on a skillet type dish and stays that way. The sauce is delicious, and comes with rice. This is my first and only experience with Korean food and I'm so into it! read more

I hate to give a rating this low for a local restaurant, but I honestly feel as though I wasted my money by eating here. Let me be frank- the food, in my opinion, was not very good. I am not a picky eater by any means, but I maybe liked one (or two, if you count the bubble tea) of the three things I got. My coworkers did not like their food either. I got the kimchi fried rice, spicy cucumbers, pork dumplings, and honeydew bubble tea. The only things I actually liked were the bubble tea (which I presume comes powdered) and the spicy cucumbers. The fried rice was bland and the filling of the pork dumplings tasted like breakfast sausage- yuck. The spicy cucumbers were easily the best thing I got. They were vinegary and spicy and super refreshing. Additionally, I feel that the prices are a bit high. I paid almost $10 for my rice, $7 for my dumplings, and $4.50 for my cucumbers. I'm a little sad to have paid that much for food I didn't even enjoy. I would also like to mention that on the menu (and the piece of paper on the glass inside the restaurant) that they have lemonade- there was no mention of pink lemonade at all. However, when I ordered lemonade, I received pink lemonade? I was a little confused and glad I happened to look down into the drink bag before I left. I had to change the drink to a soft drink because the person I ordered the lemonade for did not like pink lemonade. With that being said, I am not going to be back, even for the spicy cucumbers. The service was good but the food was bad. read more

I took a Chinese professor there and he exclaim ed it to be very true authentic. The food is great and tasty. Service very prompt and attentive. read more

The inside of this restaurant is interesting. It looks as though it would be much smaller than it actually is. The interior is decorated well and is a nice enough place. The tea I ordered was absolutely fantastic and the best part of my meal. I ordered the kimchi bibimbop with pork. It was rather lackluster. I have eaten this meal at a lot of different Korean restaurants and I have cooked it as well. The rice bowl was fine but the meal itself was rather bland. I used a LOT of sauce on it in an attempt to add spice or flavor of any sort to it and it just fell short. The egg was also disappointing. It was very overcooked on all of our meals (mine, my husbands, his mother and his sister) We couldnt mix the egg in at all. Overall, great place to get bubble tea, not a great place to get spicy Korean food. read more

Yeah not impressed, nothing my wife or I had was really that good. Chicken lo mein noodles were not the correct type, meat was bland precooked no flavor, wife got the spicy beef soup, protein fatty, not trimmed, spice/heat level decent not a game changer. Only doing take out, weird entrance they have here, if I lived in the area I might give it another shot as long as I could do dine in. According to my review I'm in the minority here so caveat emptor. read more
