First the service was excellent and their anticipation of our needs was uncanny Second the food was delicious & flavorful plus the portions were well worth the price which was very reasonable The ambiance was what I would describe very comfortable and relaxed. I strongly recommend dining at the restaurant whether dining in or carry out. read more

We found this place while out exploring. Love their food and staff. We loved it so much that we drove an hour out of the way to stop back in and have their hot and sour soup because they make it fresh and their egg rolls that are deliciously crispy. Will be back if I'm even remotely close to Hobart again. read more

The food here is delicious! I live in Chicago but have family in the area, and I never miss an opportunity to stop here for the best egg foo young I've EVER had. The service is fast and friendly. There is only a little bit of seating, but I've always been able to get a table. The prices also can't be beat! read more

The food is always good, I have never had a problem with my orders. I always order a pick up order. When I call in, I whom ever answers the phone, is always pleasant and gives an exact time as to when my food should be done. I always order the General Tso dinner combo, and ask for extra sauce in my dinner bowl, unfortunately, that is the only thing that is usually off. It always seems like my dinner bowl is slightly dry, but the food is always still good. For some reason, I have never had the desire to eat into the restaurant because it just doesn't seem too inviting. The restaurant is pretty small and the tables are too close together. However, this is a really good takeout restaurant for me. Definitely recommend! read more

A gem off the beaten path for travelers, and worth the side trip. Excellent service, only outdone by the delicious food. They were able to easily meet our dietary needs. Plenty of leftovers too. read more

One of my favorite places. Food is always good, fast and hot! Service is excellent. Bathrooms are always clean.

Not very good, never hot, flavorless for Chinese food. ingredients not very fresh. Try "Panda" in downtown Hobart on Third street!

The food is great, prices are good. We have never had a bad experience here. They always get our order correct and the person taking the phone orders is always very nice. read more

Fresh and not salty full of flavor, I order their all the time, one of my favorite is pork fried rice add vegetables yummy

This place is a hidden gem.! I was a chef in 2 5 star restaurants and I can say this place is as good as the best place in China town...I get the Coconut Chicken with Veggie Fried Rice and tea...I give this dish 10 stars,it is perfect.!! The whole family works here so it is as if they pull out a chair from their own table.They are super nice and want everything to be perfect.I ordered a take out for 20 people and it was better than expected..they added cookies.Once you try this place you will become a regular.!! read more

Rice Garden - Coconut chicken ,veggie fried rice 10 stars - A ceramic bowl contains vegetable fried rice with pieces of chicken and broccoli, garnished with chopped green onions. The rice appears to be seasoned and mixed with diced carrots and cabbage. The bowl is placed on a polished wooden table, with a fork resting on the edge of the bowl. The background shows a blurred indoor setting. - Chinese Near Me - Hobart, Indiana

The food was absolutely delicious. I had delivery of some items that could have been mushy by the arrival, but they were PERFECT! The steamed dumplings, beef w/broccoli, egg roll, and sweet and sour chicken w/ pork fried rice was what I ordered. The person taking my order helped me to get a little of everything I wanted without costing me a fortune as well. I highly recommend! read more

Rice garden has always been a staple in my family. I went there as a young adult and remember seeing a kid playing on his iPad while the parents worked, then years later doing homework lol. I absolutely love their lo mein noodles, beef n broccoli, orange chicken, it's all amazing. If I HAD to make a complaint, it's not having bubble tea. They do have it in a can but it's horrible lol. It's a minor complaint so I can't take away anything from the place. read more

Excellent food...affordable prices...courteous service. I highly recommended Rice Garden!! And the Hot & Sour Soup is on point...

We moved to Northwest Indiana in August. We love Chinese cuisine and have tried several places. Their crab rangoons are the best I've ever had. One of my favs is the Wonton soup! Broth is excellent. Service has always been great. The restaurant is clean and smaller in size. We love supporting small local businesses. I do recommend this restaurant. read more

They have been hit or miss, but lately more miss than hit. Biggest complaint would be mushy rice, gross.

Food was good, size portion was good. Price was not bad but charged $5 delivery fee for a 2 block drive.

Such a wonderful meal we had! Late almost closing one evening after a long day at the hospital visiting a sick relative....really needed to eat. I know it was closing time, but the sweet owner let us sit down in the dining room, gave us hot tea, and made us a nice hot meal.......and it was the best Chinese cashew chicken I have ever had! I live a half hour away but I will return because that's how much I enjoyed it. Thank you Rice Garden!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! Fresh, Quick, Delicious & as I said....very accommodating & considerate to our circumstances...making them an asset to their current location by the local hospital......ALL HOSPITAL STAFF & VISITORS NOTE....IF CAFETERIA IS CLOSED!. HEAD TO RICE GARDEN!!! IT'S JUST ACROSS THE STREET on the EAST SIDE. read more

Very consistent! Always good! Moo Shu pork is my favorite! They are always fast. Love it read more

This is such a great little lunch spot. Great service, great food and good vegan options. They have a large selection of lunch specials. I ordered veggie fried rice (contains no egg) with a veggie stir fry. They have vegetable rolls that also contain no egg. read more

Rice Garden - Veggie fried rice with veggies! - Chinese Near Me - Hobart, Indiana

Doing an update review as I have been to almost ever Chinese spot you can go to in or very close to Gary/Merrillville/Hobart area... This is STILL the BEST Chinese spot around. Flavors are phenomenal. You will NOT find another place in the ENTIRE MIDWEST that has a better sauce for there Egg Foo Young. It is so sweet and savory, not like the bland, goopy gelatin other places serve. Trust me, ANYTHING you order will be packed with delicious flavor. My ONLY issue is the Egg Foo Young only comes with 3 instead of the normal 4 and the Lo Mein is smaller then most places. If they could fix those things this place would be PERFECT!!! Even then, it is perfect. read more

Food is alway great every time I've got it. Always hit and fresh. I've tried many different dishes and I've liked every one of them, especially the egg rolls:) read more

Hot, freshly prepared and large portions one of our go-to places for pickup. Family run and it shows the best.

We order from here at least twice a month and it's always delicious! Today we had the wonton soup, crab Rangoon, beef and snow peas, kung pao chicken....everything was so tasty! Can't go wrong ordering from here! read more

Disappointing. Food was bland! My hot and sour soup had no heat, and the same with the Kung Pao chicken. Veggie lo mein again flavorless. Obvious fresh ingredients and decent steamed dumplings kept my rating from being a one. Second area Chinese restaurant to suffer from tastelessness. Do people here have no palates? read more

This was an awesome place. All the food cane so quickly and was so fresh that it was almost too hot to eat. The items that were fried, were fried to perfection and the serving sizes were huge! Highly recommend this. On a side note, my husband is always sarcastic and the server answer him in kind. It was pretty funny read more

Wow- best eat in Chinese I have had - ever. Portions are incredible - but the Food! S&s soup awesome, best s&s chicken ever had - general tso was great. Service great - fresh food prepared in the spot and phenomenal! read more

Very good food. You can tell it was fresh and tasted delicious! I ordered the shrimp fried rice, and the spicy chicken.

I've gotten take out here a couple of times. Not too bad. You know, typical selection of Americanized Chinese food. I believe they do use MSG so beware. Overall, pretty tasty so I'll probably be back. They have a nice dining area. Lots of parking and good prices. read more

We love this place. The food is good, the people are friendly, and everything is reasonably priced. They also deliver in a timely manner--my food was still hot! read more

I've only ordered delivery from Rice Garden, so I cannot rate the restaurant. We've pretty much sampled the whole menu from here, and that's saying something. There's over 100 items on it. I've recently become hooked on the House Special Egg Foo Young, which has a generous serving of three patties loaded with all the meats - expecially shrimp. Other favorites of mine are the Imperial Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and Singapore Mei Fun. Although I've never had a bad dish from them, they tend to taste a little repetitive. Their delivery is always super fast and must be a wide area, as we live a good distance away. Plus, the dinners come in a nifty reusable plastic containers with lids. Staff is friendly and regularly throw in extras (egg rolls, crab rangoon, sweet biscuits). Prices are as to be expected. Dinners fall around the $7 range and are very filling. read more

Firstly - website link goes to a rice garden chain in California. Secondly - big fan. Reasonable pricing. Great food. Be sure to ask what sort of eggroll you're getting, I ordered one and didn't ask and it was shrimp. Usually get the pepper steak and the pork fried rice. Can't go wrong! read more

We usually eat in at this place. Even when they are crowded inside and the phone is ringing off the hook for carry-out, the service is quick and efficient. The portions are large and everything is brought out hot and freshly-cooked. Eating in, you get to enjoy real dishes and silverware. The fried dumpling appetizer is flavorful and nicely crisp on the outside. I always enjoy the hot and sour soup. It is not gloppy like a lot of other Chinese places. Their fried rice is also a little better than most places. Definitely a higher quality Chinese food experience. read more

Like most people, we have our favorite Chinese restaurants that we patronize on a regular basis. We are happy to add Rice Garden to our list! The food was sooo good....tender bits of beef, nicely-seasoned sides, fresh vegetables...just so yay! :) The portions were ridiculously plentiful for the price; the two of us had enough for six people, easily. What a lovely little spot, just across the street from St. Mary's Medical Center in Hobart. read more

Ordered from rice garden today and found a fly with larvae in my meal. I highly suggest examining your food if you choose to eat here. read more

Best Chinese around!!! Egg rolls are the bomb!! The lunch specials come with enough food that you won't want to go back to work!!!

This is one of our go-to Chinese restaurants. The quality is always consistent and it is priced well. We tend to order around lunch time because you can't beat their specials. read more

Starting to give up on my local Chinese carryout. Fiod always comes cold. Did not think you could screw up sweet and sour chicken but they did. In short I have had better everything at other Chinese places. It is an average joint. read more

Best Chinese food in all of NWI. I am vegan and they make awesome tofu dishes. Vegetable soup w/ bean curd is delicious. Lunch specials are excellent. Tofu can be substituted for any meat. The tofu is fried and tastes really good. Vegetable fried rice is good. And the one thing that is better here than ANY other place is the vegetable spring roll. Highly recommended... also delivery is fast. Overall price is totally worth the meal. read more

just ordered the Singapore Mei Fun, Chicken Fried Rice (green onions only), the Egg Rolls, and a order of Crab Rangoon... must say it was all good... I would suggest next time I add more onions to my rice and have them fry my egg rolls little longer, but other than that I loved the food and delivery service.. plus we got three sweet biscuits for free with are order.. this will be my new Chinese restaurant for now on.. read more
