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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great service, wonderful food and good selection on menu. Family run and so worth multiple trips to try everything!

Food was not bad. Quick service. Ambiance is nice. 4 stars won ton soup. Overall was good. Broth was so so. Wontons were a bit small. Pork and cabbage was good. 4 stars chicken fried rice. Rice was good. Only had a little bit of chicken in the rice. read more

The food is always hot and fresh. The customer service alone would keep us coming back.

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

Today for lunch we had their Taiwanese beef noodle soup it was fantastic! Great flavor! Also we ordered the Thai spicy chicken basil with bbq pork fried rice with hot & sour soup and egg roll. The spicy chicken basil & fried rice was really yummy. The hot & sour soup was mediocre tasting and not very hot temperature wise. The egg roll was mediocre as well, since it was not very fresh tasting. Perhaps it was an off day? Overall great dishes. read more

Soooooo much better with new ownership! Would highly recommend this restaurant with its delicious food. I like that it's not oily and not too salty. Thumbs up" 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

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

Since their recent remodel/expansion, we've visited a few times and love the authenticity of flavors and solid prices.

Stopped in for quick lunch after shopping at 99Ranch. This is a small, comfortable place. Their specialty is Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. We weren't in the mood for soup, so maybe next time. We had the salted fish and chicken fried rice. It was delicious; not greasy, and not overly salty. It was such a huge portion that we had leftovers to enjoy later. Great value for lunch. They have servers that speak Mandarin, and one server that speaks some Cantonese. Servers were friendly and efficient. Place felt authentic. They've got some kind of air freshener that was cloying for me, so those with sensitive noses beware. read more

Rice Express - I got the Sweet and Sour Pork and BBQ Pork Fried Rice. This is the best I have had in years. In100% recommend this place. - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

Located within a neighborhood strip mall -- nothing fancy - but clean, conveniently located and pleasant ambiance. Music was played at a nice level and void of any TVs (THANK YOU!). Has small number of tables, booths and larger round tables for family/groups. Please note before reading: I'm very familiar with Chinese dishes from various areas; I think I probably would be considered "picky" as I like authentic-tasting dishes. So please take that into consideration, as I know many folks like more "Americanized" dishes, so your tastes might different. I had a lunch combo for just over $16. 3.5 stars: hot and sour soup, (tasty but it was void of any "hot" or "sour" or usual ingredients. 2 stars: Thai basil chicken, (looked great, but the sauce made the chicken VERY soggy and seemed cold, no basil taste at all). In hindsight, what was I thinking ordering a Thai dish in a Chinese restaurant? Many places now have a great variety of fusion dishes, though, so I'll give myself a bit of grace. 3 stars: chow mein (typical chow mein. Nothing terrible. Nothing great. Few bits of chicken on top but nothing within) 2 stars : egg roll (ohhhhh noooooo.... interior was not cooked. I got the impression this was a frozen type. Egg rolls don't make or break my opinion of a place, mind you, but you can usually depend on that deep fried crunchy thang to appeal this of us who like deep fried ANYTHING. I thought the prices were a bit high compared to neighboring restaurants. Alas, the Service was also slow. There was only one other group eating there and I did not see any take out orders, so there was no obvious reason for the extended wait. Sigh.... It pains me to rate the food that low, as the folks there were extremely nice. The waitress was so sweet and attentive and the other guy (think he might be the manager) was friendly, kind and asked me several times how I was doing. I took the coward's way out and smiled weakly as I didn't have the heart to say what I really thought. Hate when I do that. I am usually honest (in as tactful way as possible because they asked and I SHOULD answer) but the staff here were do darned nice, I just did NOT have the heart. read more

I got food poisoning from that restaurant and so did my husband. I will never eat there again.

I used Door Dash and had the chicken chow mein delivered on January 26, 2026. There was almost no chicken, and very little cabbage. There were lots of noodles that were highly greasy, and the flavor was off. I've noticed this taste before when the oil is slightly rancid and/or over used. On a scale of 1 to 5, I'd rate this at a 1. read more

The restaurant itself is very calm and clean. There is lots of pretty bamboo and flowers in the entrance of the restaurant. The music was also really calming. The food was delicious and very flavorful. The hot and sour soup was nice and spicy. I also got the spicy Thai chicken and it was perfectly crispy and was perfect cooked. The service amazing and our server was extremely sweet and helpful. We will definitely be coming back here again read more

Thanks to FB Folsom Chat I have found my go to Chinese restaurant. Over the years I've tried the others in town and was not impressed. The place has been under new management since May 2023 and they have expanded the dining area. The place is very clean, simple and welcoming. The waiter was very humble and checked on us many times. We tried the hard to come by beef shank noodle soup which was very savory. The General's chicken and shrimp in lobster sauce were both very good. We look forward to coming back soon. read more

Extremely bad service. I've been here many times. However, ever since the old waitress was replaced by a new old lady, it was really bad. I was eating there and when I asked for togo container, she brought it and say she will pack for me. However, when she pack she was literally pour away half of the left over soup spill on the table. It was dripping on to my clothes. She was just walking away and not apologized at all. Then the last time that makes me decide to not come here again until she was fired is that, I went there with one big table sitting and a lot of people waiting for takeout pickup. I was greeted and seat at a table by the owner then she gone in to the kitchen and left the incapable old waitress take care of dining room. I was sitting there patiently waiting for my turn to put order in. However, my turn never comes. I was sitting more there more than 20 minutes watching the old waitress keep taking takeout order from people who just walk in without caring for any customer that was sitting in the restaurant. The big table that was before me, they was trying yo get attention from her also but she just keep taking order and charging credit card for newly walk-in customer. So I decided to leave after wasting time there for 30 minutes. Too bad I like the food here but with incapable waitress I will not go there again because I can't really get service I need. read more

Ordered the lunch special for $15 which came with choice of soup. A small egg roll or 1 cream cheese Rangoon and choice of a variety of main dishes and choice of steamed rice or fried rice or chow mein. I had the vegetables with chicken and steamed rice and it was good. I requested it spicy and it had a good amount of kick to it. The service was exceptional. Very kind waitress and the service was quick. The portion size was rather skimpy but filling. No leftovers. Hot tea was good and not just your reg tea bag. $3 for hot tea. Will come back again and try other dishes. Interior was clean and nicely decorated. Nothing fancy. Simple layout. read more

Rice Express - Mixed vegetable chicken and steamed rice - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

My wife, family, and friends all agree that Rice Express is a hidden nugget amongst small hole-in-the wall Chinese restaurants. We drive the 45 minutes from Auburn just to eat here. Great care seems to go into each dish, whether it's the Hot & Sour soup (believe me: this is one of the best versions around), Spicy Thai fish filets, Jalapeño chicken, Orange chicken (little pillows of chicken breast lightly sauced with a flavorful amd not overly sweet orange sauce) the fried rices, any vegetable dish. I promise you will not be disappointed. You will most likely be greeted at some point by head chef Ying and his wife. The service staff is very helpful. The restaurant is spotlessly clean. Give this worthy small business a try. read more
