We came here because my sister was craving Chinese food and this is one of the most authentic in the area. Food and service were excellent and reminded us of food we grew up on. We had: -Honey walnut shrimp -Mu shoo pork -Hong Kong style crispy pork with pickled vegetable chow mein -house chow mein -broccoli with garlic We all ordered the ice tea too. It complemented the food nicely. This great family owned hidden gem located in the Ranch 99/Dollar Tree Plaza at the corner of Blue Ravine and E. Natoma is a must try for anyone looking for good Chinese food. Another notable dish to try,that we didn't order this visit, is the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. I apologize for the lack of pics, we were too hungry. read more

Chinese food on Christmas has always been a tradition for me, so I was very excited to continue this tradition and rice express made it possible by staying open on the holiday. Although they were absolutely slammed, they were staying calm in the storm and our order was even ready a bit sooner than anticipated. The quality of the food was incredible. We had a feast of orange chicken, chow mein and sesame tofu. And fortune cookies of course! Everything was incredible and I'm so grateful to the kind workers who made a lot of Christmas dinners special. Thank you rice express! read more

Great food. A bit on the pricier side but the portions make up for it, especially if getting the lunch deals. Favorite item is the pork fried rice, but plenty of other stuff was great too. Friendly staff is always a plus as well. read more

I love this place! The dinner combinations are delicious and generous enough to last me two meals. I've only ordered takeout so far, but every time the staff has been friendly and welcoming. One time they missed my call, but they called me back shortly afterward, which I really appreciated. That thoughtful customer service definitely made a great impression. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Consistently excellent and flavorful dishes. I have been a customer for several years and their service and quality has always been consistently great. They use natural ingredients and don't rely on MSG to create flavorful meals. I would highly recommend trying them out for take-out or dine-in. They have a casual dining area but are also excellent for a quick take-out meal during the week. read more

I love the food here!! Their beef noodle soup is the best in the area. They also have good combo deals. They have good service and it's a roomy restaurant. read more

Rice Express was delicious. I love Chinese food and this place delivered exactly what I was craving. I usually order the same thing as ordered in the photo I provide at every Chinese establishment, that way I have a good criteria to personally grade Chinese food. This place delivered flavorfully and quantity wise. The meat was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The sauces were unique as every establishment has their own touch to the sauces, but I truly loved the flavors here. Another thing to note, I usually get what I call MSG fatigue when eating Chinese food, but I found myself eating lots of it without that fatigue. I ordered delivery so I can't say much to the service, but this place delivered (food wise and delivery wise). This place had the Dyllan Guarantee. read more

I've been ordering from here through DoorDash and it's become one of my favorites. I usually go for the beef congee because it's simple, but really well done. The flavor is comforting and they add just the right amount of beef so every bowl feels hearty and balanced especially when I'm feeling under the weather! I honestly wish more places in the area served congee, but until then, this spot has me covered. Reliable, tasty, and satisfying so I'll definitely keep coming back for more! read more

My new go-to Chinese restaurant! I've only had takeout from this place, but it has never disappointed even when they got my order wrong once; everything on the plate was still so tasty. My favorite dishes are the Sweet & Sour Pork, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, and the Bok Choy. The chicken is crispy and everything has such an amazing flavor. Service is quick and everything is hot and when you order multiple things, they put it in a box, easy for transport. So excited to try more! read more

I order house special fried rice with salted fish add on, for the first time they made it extremely salty that i'm actually dying while eating, I drank so much water that make me full not because of the rice. The rice itself is extremely salty already and look dark brown, like they add too much seasoning, and salted fish on top which made it to the max level. So I call them and told them what's going on, and they tell me to come back and remake me another one which is nice, and the color of the rice this time is a lot lighter, less brown color looking. 5 stars for customers service here. Thank you. But I don't know how many stars should i rate for the foods. Besides these, the workers and owners there are nice and friendly thou. read more

Great portions and amazing food!!! A bit pricey compared to others but I loved it so I'll forgive them haha!

They have since partnered with another experienced chef from another restaurant in folsom and the food quality is better than ever! Food comes out fast, the flavor perfect. Since trying the food again 2-3 weeks ago I've been here more than a handful of times! It has come back to be one of my favorites in town! Come give them a try if you haven't. They have been busier than ever and I'm so happy for them! read more

So I read some reviews of this place on next door, and my sister, mom and I went for lunch. The restaurant is fairly modest but very clean and tidy. We all ordered lunch specials. My mom had the walnut shrimp, I had the jalapeño chicken and my sister had the Thai basil beef. The Thai basil beef was just excellent, delicious and spicy. My dish was not as spicy and sweeter, but still very good. The chicken was very lightly coated in cornstarch, no heavy breading like so many local places do. My mom loved her shrimp. The portions were large - we all had leftovers, and the hot and sour soup and egg rolls that came with the dishes were great. The owner made a point to come to our table and introducing himself. A great experience all in all, I will definitely be back. This little place is arguably the best Chinese food I've had in this area, and I am quite picky (hubby and I lived in Asia for 14 years). Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

The curry fried rice was very delicious and pork chops as well. However, that being said I was very unhappy with how much pork chops it contained. That serving is not worth $20. I was so disappointed and sad. I'm only giving three stars for the fried rice and how good the pork chops tasted. Please kindly either lower the price or increase the serving size. Thank you. read more

I got the sesame chicken and chicken chow fun. It was so good! I'm always on the hunt for good Chinese restaurants and this is in my top five now for sure.

I was in Folsom, so I decided to stop in for a bowl of congee. Not nearly as many restaurants make it as used to. The restaurant was clean and bright, and the gentleman who helped me was very polite. They have a large menu, including lunch specials, I decided to go with the fish congee. When I asked him what type of fish, he said "cod." he asked me if I wanted ginger in it, and I said yes. It came in a big bowl, there was a good amount of fish in it, and the congee itself was, rich, creamy, and very tasty. The ginger gave it a nice little "kick". The price was reasonable. I would love to come back. Thank you. read more

Found multiple hairs in my congee, this is disgusting and I've never had this happen to me before. Total we found 3 strands of hair, and that's only what I found before I tossed it all out. Won't be back and I don't think anyone should. Nasty. Avoid! read more

I have been a regular customer for awhile but I have to be honest, will not be coming back here. First, every time I have ordered by phone or the last time I ordered online, the food was NOT ready and I had to wait 15-20 minutes. Do not know what the hold up is truly, this place is never busy when I go in there to pick up my food. Yesterday, when I went to pick up my online order, I noticed the cheese wontons did not come with any sweet and sour sauce so the gentleman went to get me some in the kitchen. When he came back, stood right in my face literally and asked me to give the Restaurant a review. Well being very put off by both the lack of social distancing on his part and the soliciting about a Review I told him, I do not give positive reviews to businesses who ask, that is strictly voluntary on my part and walked out disgusted. When I got home with the Lemon Chicken Lunch Combo and the order of Wantons, I noticed the Wontons were burnt! read more

After reading yesterday on one of the blogs for the area, I saw that Rice Express really got some great reviews. So today I went there for lunch and I totally agree. If not the best one of the top best in the El Dorado Hills /Folsom areas for Chinese food. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who seated us immediately and we started out with soup, which was delicious. I probably could've had a large bowl of soup and been happy with my lunch but anyway, I had general chicken and my partner, she had broccoli chicken. We both were raving about how good it was, how fresh the food was and we could not stop eating. I usually bring home something for a late night snack but not today. I wish I could give more stars to this restaurant as it is really the bomb. Anyway, I will definitely be back and it is definitely me knew go to for Chinese food in the area. When we're leaving the waitress came out and asked did we want boxes or could she help us anymore and the owner stopped by the table to see if everything was OK. Everything was just perfect. I and the price was very good for such delicious meal. read more

Came on V-Day and ordered the Dinner Special. Not sure if it's because of the holiday, but service was extremely slooowww. However, their food was very good. The wonton soup was the best I've had. The broth has a hint of ginger which I loved. The flavor of my entrees is very good also. They also gave out a single stem of red rose to their customers in celebration of V-Day. Nice people. Would definitely come back. read more

I have to say this Asian food has the tasting sauces I have had the pleasure to taste. The service is prompt and friendly. The restaurant was clean with no tables with dishes or left food on the tables. The servings were plentiful and I had to ask for a to go container. Try the sizzling chicken, very healthy, nice vegetables, great chicken. read more

Ate a lot of Chinese food throughout my life and barely right reviews so let me say this this restaurant has blew my mind with its kindness and amazing food they offer. I thought my spot I usually go to has nothing compared to other restaurants but was I wrong. The food here is amazing and the people are so nice. Highly recommend the chow fun and Honey walnut shrimp and the Lemon pepper wings. read more

My family, friends and I continue to travel from Auburn to dine here. Though located in a strip mall near Ranch 99 market in Folsom don't be put off by the unpretentious, simple dining space. The food is amazing - beautifully prepared, hot, fresh and delicious. During our visit today our party of four ordered Hot & Sour soup - one of the best I have ever had, Honey- glazed walnut shrimp, expertly prepared crispy shrimp and crunchy walnuts, very lightly sauced, combination Moo Shiu with chicken, pork and shrimp, served with 6 of the thinnest pancakes I have ever seen, combination fried rice, and my personal favorite Spicy Basil sole, tender pillows of sole encased in a light, crunchy coating fried and lightly dressed with a delicious sauce. Amazing! Service is attentive and guest requests are promptly addressed. The restaurant and restrooms are spotless. Put aside any reservations you have about dining in a strip mall. Rice Express will not disappoint. read more

Delicious food and very friendly! Best chinese food since we moved to Folsom 10 years ago. Great find.

Manchurian beef and chicken chow mein were GREAT. They made the food within 15 minutes and it was fresh and hot. The beef was crispy and the sauce is sweet but not overwhelming. I will be back! read more

We have been to eat at Rice Express twice in person and have gotten takeout from them once. It is a very clean restaurant and conveniently next to 99 Ranch, so every time we do a frozen dumpling or noodle restock, we stop by Rice Express for lunch. Both times, my husband and I ordered their noodle soups. It is hard to find a good Chinese restaurant in the Folsom area that serves other dishes besides the standard Chinese fare/combo plates, and we were very pleased that they served more traditional noodle soups and dishes. Our soups came out piping hot and the flavors of the broths were on point, especially for the beef noodle soups. The meats were very well braised, and the noodle texture was just the way I enjoy them. The first time we ordered thin rice noodle, and the second time we ordered the more traditional thick noodle. Both types of noodles were excellent and not overcooked. Service was fast and the owners were very talkative and checked up on us often. They speak both Cantonese and Mandarin, so huge plus if you can speak both. I can speak both, but my Cantonese is better than my Mandarin (I'll definitely need to practice more). Our waters were refilled often, and they also offer tea in their menu (which we will need to order next time). They also serve congee, which I'd love to try, as well as a few clay pot dishes (again not common for this side of Sac). If you would prefer to stick with the more common fare, they have your standard chow mein, fried rice, various meat/veggie entrees, family dinners, etc. that you can order. The pricing is to be expected for the Folsom area and honestly affordable. My takeout order was for their Singapore noodles and those were absolutely delicious. They also held up on the drive home and reheated well. We would love to be back to try their other dishes soon! read more

We found out that the restaurant had been renovated & is under new owner. We went for lunch on Saturday and were immediately seated & served. - salted fish & chicken fried rice: well seasoned fried rice with lots of chicken pieces but I wish that it had more salted fish pieces - pickled cabbage & shredded pork rice noodle: noodle was perfectly cooked (soft yet still has chew to it). The soup was good and not too salty - braised eggplant, salty fish & tofu in clay pot: this dish was very salty. Good thing that we had it with steamed rice. The eggplant was a bit overcooked as it was too mushy for me but the tofu was nice and firm. - Taiwanese beef noodle soup: good hearty simple soup. The noodle was perfectly cooked and the beef pieces were tender and flavorful. Perfect for a cold rainy day. read more

The food here is good and the people are nice. But it's way too expensive. Lunch special with tip is around $20 whereas the special across the street at Sunny Garden is like $15 with tip. It's the same quality of food, not worth 25% more read more

First time coming here after the change of ownership. The restaurant layout is modified with a left and right division. We were greeted with a friendly server and seated right away. The food we ordered was delicious. The broth in the noodle soup was comforting. This will be a part of our weekly restaurant rotation. read more
