I ordered sweet and sour chicken. I was not expecting this AT ALL. I've had it 100 times in other restaurants and it looked nothing like this. It's usually juicy in sauce. I called the restaurant to talk to them about it and they said it's always like that... That dish is a scam! Those are like beignets. And once you open a piece, there's barely any chicken in it! read more

Rice K - Sweet and sour chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Since moving to Astoria, I've been on a hunt for the best sushi restaurant and Rice K was that place. I've never came in to eat but all my delivery orders always arrived on time and the food I ordered always hit the spot. However, tonight was a different story. I placed an order to Rice K on delivery.com at 9pm. The estimated delivery time was 45-60 minutes. At 10:24pm I called the restaurant as I haven't received my food yet. The woman I spoke to over the phone was adamant that they called me multiple times and that I provided the wrong address. Since it wasn't my first time ordering from them online, I was sure that I didn't provide the wrong information but I repeated my address and my phone number. On the safe side, I asked her to repeat my order to make sure that my order was correct as well. She started to list a bunch of items that were not what I ordered. It turned out that they forgot my order and she said that they'll put in my order right away. Fast forward to 10:44pm, my food arrived. Considering that my order was forgotten until I called and arrived almost two hours after I placed it, one would think that they would make sure everything I ordered was there. I was missing a miso soup but they happened to throw in two sodas. I'm not a big soda drinker and would've preferred if they just provided everything I paid for. I called again and they refunded me for the missing item. I'm honestly disappointed that this happened but I won't let this situation deter me from ordering from them again. They do have really great sushi but hopefully they'll be more on top of their online orders. read more

Rice K - Sushi Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

First (and last) time I ordered from this place. I ordered the Mongolian Beef Bun appetizer. The Bao bun was hard as a rock, stale. I nuked it in the microwave--didn't help. Inedible. The sushi I ordered was very bad, not fresh. I didn't even finish what I ordered, and I was starving. Very very disappointed. read more

Our go to Chinese place. General Tsos is perfectly breaded and the brown sauce is a great compliment. Grateful to have found them. The restaurant itself is also beautiful. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant in the area. Everything is served well, and prepared with care. To start with I have to say that they serve an excellent Pad Thai, The noodles are just the right consistency and the flavor is as well. The house special egg foo young is the best I have ever had with it being full of shrimp, chicken, and pork. The General Tso's chicken comes with a generous portion of chicken and not overly sweet, made just right. The wonton soup is delicious. On top of delicious food Rice K also is great place to meet up and gather with friends, and the owner has established an inviting atmosphere for all to enjoy. Also the karaoke nights are a lot of fun. ;) read more

This place has been providing great food and service for Astoria for sometime now. They've been exceptional during covid and they have been so welcoming during such a stressful time. I bring my friend's visiting me from Brooklyn and they are always impressed with the servive, food and the price/value. From sashimi to shumai they have it all. They can also make practically any of the entrees vegan or vegetarian. read more

Situated in Astoria and very close to the ditmars subway station its the perfect spot for a after work drink and to gather friends for a drink or a dinner. Its a large spot and has a large bar to the left serving up some great moscow mules. To the right is the seating area and you get great service here. Very attentive and all dishes were explained. We had the sushi which was spot on. Futomaki, a spicey crab, and shashimi which made for a great meal. The pork dumplings along with the shrimp tempura were also made very nicely. Good flavor and very satisfying. A standout to us though were the tuna chips. Tuna, mango, and sweet sauce on top of a nacho chip. A great snack to go with your drinks. Its a nice spot for a gathering and the owner xiu is extrememely nice and welcoming. I will be back. read more

I ordered General Tso's (chicken). It did not say anything about fried rice (with pork) in the menu. So i ordered it, and they brought it with fried rice. I don't eat pork, so when I told the waitress about it, she took the plate, got rid of the fried rice (replaced it with white rice) but it was already all over it. Brought the plate back with the "SAME dirty fMy friends ate sushi, I guess it was ok. I left the place hungry and sad. Very slow service by the way! read more

Just don't. Some of the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Just ordered Sesame Chicken. I got zero sesame and the rice was dry. It was actually disgusting. read more

Wow!! What makes this place different from all the other sushi restaurants? Price and quality, fresh fish and affordable prices!! A hidden gem in the neighborhood, I loved everything we tried that day. We had some of the specialty sushi rolls and udon noodle soup. Rock shrimp tempura was delicious, a must try! The sushi rolls were top quality and delicious as well. We were really excited to stumble upon this spot, very cool decor and I believe they have karaoke and live bands on the weekend. If you are looking for unbelievably good sushi, this is your spot!! Must try!!! read more

I would eat a Dogs ass before I go back here. Food taste like hot garbage on a hot summers day in NYC. Server acted liked we talked about his momma . read more

This is an amazing little sushi place in Astoria that we just happened to find in a Groupon! The staff was very friendly and personable! The food is amazing and the crab rangoons are handmade. Everything is presented in a very sophisticated manner! The restaurant is quiet and had very calming music (Love music on Fridays) and easy to enjoy! This is definitely my new sushi spot! read more

Usually my go-to because I can order Chinese food and Japanese food at the same place. BUT very disappointed as of late!!! Many times my takeout orders have been wrong. EX: For an added price, I swapped my miso soup with wonton and still received the complimentary miso soup, with NO wonton soup substitution. ANOTHER EX: I ordered $6 worth of SHRIMP egg rolls but got 4 mini rolls that look like SPRING rolls, ONLY had cabbage inside and VERY oily. Disappointing. Rated them 2 stars because they have been good in the past, but not happy with recent orders. Not sure I will order again. read more

Rice K - Sushi Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ordered at 6:49pm via delivery.com with this place. Mind you, we all know about the crisis and expected delays. What should not be expected or accepted is horrible customer service and a two delivery. After an hour I call and get some guy who says my order left already. Ok no problem. 40 minutes later and I call back asking what happened and he said I'll call you back in two minutes. Never did. Now in between this you have to call this place several times because they won't pick up the phone. I even called delivery.com and they couldn't reach them and they canceled my order for me. I called Rice K and got the same snarky guy who said the kitchen is busy. I understand but if you tell me my order is out the door it has nothing to do with deliveries being two hours late. Of course after 2 hours the guy shows up and I reject the order. Not going to accept cold food. The snarkiness of the guy on the phone and terrible customer service makes me hope this place closes. Never again and I also placed a complaint. read more

Asian Fusion + Great Drinks + Live Music = Rice K I've been here a few times as Rice K. I also ate here when it was under its previous name, Kitaku. If you want great Asian fusion food, solid drinks at an amazing price, there's not a better option in Astoria. Drinks: I am usually with someone who orders a cocktail, and Rice K is always switching it up with different drinks. I'm a standard sake guy, but they have a full bar and great drink specials. Food: I haven't had something I don't like at this point. I typically go in, and read the menu and order what speaks to me. Luckily, anyone can find something great to eat here. Sushi? Always good. Dim sum? I never order enough. Try the rock shrimp tempura. You'll thank me later. Atmosphere: Awesome couches and chairs. I'm always comfortable when I sit down, but the seating, music, ambiance and service are fantastic. On weekends, they have live music! It's a great way to have good food, drinks, and music in a way you can only find in NYC. Their whole menu is also available for takeout, but you should go in, sit down, and enjoy yourself. It's better than eating in an apartment anyway. Go to Rice K. I have yet to be even slightly let down. read more

Ordered on seamless around 630-640 for pickup. Got the general tso shrimp, boneless spare rib and sesame chicken. Pickup time said 30-40 minutes. Got to the restaurant around 710-715. The guy in the front went to check on my order and told me 20 minutes. I told him I would come back. I went to key food to grab a few things. Got back to the restaurant and the food still wasn't ready. The guy went to check on my order and told me 10 minutes. 15-20 minutes later, I asked the guy to check on my food. He said the kitchen is almost done with it and that he's only relaying what the kitchen is telling him. Got my food around 8. Got home to find the boneless spare ribs were burnt. On one side of almost every piece was a thick layer of burnt meat. Never getting food from the place again. Would highly recommend people to stay away from this subpar establishment. read more

My favorite sushi place! The food is amazing and always fresh. Crazy tuna roll is so yummy. So happy to find them Highly recommend for everyone! read more

Great service!! Music is great and the seating is so comfortable. Great place to hang out with family and friends! Prices are decent and not over priced for sushi. read more

Good sushi.. maybe it's my preference but my tummy felt like the French music don't blend with my sushi meal ;) Place is modern-cozy loungie like. Might come back)) read more

WATCH YOUR DRINKS! Be careful of allergies! Haven't been this disappointed in an establishment in a long while but here we are. I ordered a frozen mango margarita which was on the menu & instead of saying they didn't have it at the moment the server made me a concoction that could've gotten me very sick. We all know the liquor in a margarita is tequila. I saw her pour pineapple Malibu rum into my drink, she wasn't even discreet to hide this concoction that contained no mango margarita ingredients. When I took a sip, it was some strawberry concoction with rum and it was horrible. I get very sick from rum & I am cautious with strawberry because many of my family members are allergic to strawberries so truly she could have gotten me very sick. You don't serve someone a random drink just because you don't know how to make the drink they ordered. I wish she would've been honest I would've ordered something easier like a beer! Once that happened the bar was set low in my mind for the food in its way. My boyfriend got general tso chicken and said it was not even as good as a sloppy takeout Chinese food spot which would've cost 1/4 of the price. He usually eats a lot, he couldn't even stomach finishing it & he did not even take the substantial amount left to go because it was that bad. I got pineapple fried rice & it was so bland and flavorless. I also barely ate mine & did not take it to go, it wasn't worth taking it because I knew I wouldn't eat it. We do not mind spending $ on a good plate of food but spending $15-20 a plate on shitty food is so disappointing. Do not eat here. read more

Ambiance, service and food 10/10. Best quality sushi I've had in Queens with stuffed and filling rolls! Was an amazing first time out to a resturant with our new born! Great 3 roll for $18 combo as well for the quality! read more

I've been ordering from this location since it was called Dragon Gate (notice the dragon on the glass at the entrance) and it's always been the best Chinese food in the Ditmars area of Astoria. I usually get take-out but occasionally will dine in and that's a great experience too! My girlfriend enjoys Japanese food and I prefer Chinese, so it's awesome to have both options available on the menu here. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and I always feel well taken care of at Rice K. Thanks for many years of excellent dining! read more

Lively indoor vibe on the inside on weekends and the staff seems nice, otherwise a hard place to recommend. The sushi is mediocre to bad, the tables smell like they've been wiped down with the same mildew towels for days and they crank the outdoor speakers to the max during karaoke. The tables outside can hear the drunk people screaming old pop songs trying to be funny. Might be fun for the people inside but why in the world is it turned up to 11 for the people outside ? A shame because I wanted to like this place. If you're looking for a fun karaoke night, maybe check it out. If you're looking for dinner strongly avoid this place. read more

I walked in here while looking for a place to have diner. When I walked in it was completely empty making me a bit skeptical bc it was a decent looking place. I ordered a few appetizers & the katsu roll. I'm used to eating fresh Shushi in California and I have to say it was pretty great. The combination of the flavors made the perfect roll. The service was great, and I'm glad I was the first one to come in because by the time I left it was pretty busy. I would come back again. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. My friends and I were walking through Astoria looking for delicious food to eat and came upon Rice K. The ambiance of this fusion restaurant was top notch. Dim/low lighting in the evening and the seating was so comfortable. The service was by far one of the best I have experienced in NYC and I'm a local. Sue, manager and owner, personally came to check on our meal and even introduced me to the best mixed drink shot I have ever had in my life, The Green Tea shot, highly recommend it! One of my friends even went back for lunch two days later because the food was impeccable. The sushi was so fresh and delicious, and the main entree was well made and presented very nicely. The prices are reasonable and you get bang for your buck. I will absolutely be returning to Rice K and would highly recommend this family owned small business restaurant for your sushi cravings. Sue and staff, thank you very much for a lovely end to our Sunday evening!!!!! read more

Rice K - Kitaku Special Roll, Lochness Roll, Spicy Girl Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Astoria, New York

My boyfriend and I wandered in here on a cold Saturday night, craving sushi. The bartender was friendly and came over to our table, telling us about the drink specials. We took him on on the $6 special of the day, which was the Hot Toddy. It was great! Very cool that this restaurant offers a new $6 cocktail each day. As for the dinner - everything tasted delicious and fresh. We eat sushi often, so we were surprised and pleased with the quality! An added plus, our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. We'll be back! read more

All I can say is WOW!! Excellent food with a great atmosphere! my friends and I live in Miami and we travel often to New York, Rice K, is a must for us.

On the weekend they have karaoke and great music! it's a great place to celebrate any occasion! Try it you won't be disappointed!!! read more

My husband and I enjoyed our pick up order of bbq ribs, house special fried rice, steamed dumplings, and spring rolls. Steamed dumplings (with shrimp in them) were especially delicious and we would love to have these again. We want to note especially how accommodating the restaurant was in regards to a slight mix up with our pick up order. Since we were already home when we discovered the mix up, we called the restaurant and they had food delivered to us right away to correct the mix up. Thank you! read more

Great sushi, good music, drinks are strong and cold, and a very attentive staff. Rice K all around is a great spot just to go enjoy some sushi and drinks in a very Zen type atmosphere. Sue the owner is a sweetheart and will treat everybody with so much respect it's not even funny. Plus they have karaoke who doesn't love to get drunk and get on the mic to regret it the next morning. read more

Just moved to Astoria and my boyfriend and I were craving some type of Asian cuisine. Came across this being that we live right down the block and it looked pretty nice so we decided why not give it a try. We both ordered veggie pad thai and broccoli in garlic sauce. Let me tell you looks can definitely be deceiving. Although the place looked completely put together, nice ambiance, good music.. the food was really disappointing. The noodles had no flavor whatsoever... and all the vegetables looked extremely old and didn't taste fresh at all. Shortly after I was extremely nauseous. This place I'd say is subpar if that, but who knows, we might have to give it another try read more

Came here for Grand Re-Opening. They had a great jazz band playing for the Re-Opening. The samples they brought were incredible, highly recommend the Mongolian Beef Buns and Rock Tempura Shrimp!! The Poseidon roll was incredible. The service was very attentive and the manager checked in with us twice. Overall a great step up from the previous restaurant and will definitely be coming back again. Ps. The Asahi large beer is VERY large read more

What a wonderful place! Came here for the first time with my boyfriend. The first thing I notice was the serene and calm mood of the place. I love the Ocean Set and Tuna Chips as appetizers. For entrees I had the Alaskan Winter roll and a few pieces of sashimi. The fish tasted fresh! For drinks I have the mojito and a Hennessy mojito. All very delicious. The best part is they have a Japanese artist play this instrument with a mix of pop music with a classic twist. Very soothing. A great experience. read more

Sunday brunch day. No liquor license. What? No coffee. What? The place is empty, but we still have to just awkwardly stand at the entrance waiting for someone to acknowledge us. We just ask if it's ok to sit. Gee...sorry to bother you guys. The waiter was nice, but a big white Greek guy. No problem, but we didn't see that coming lol. I guess that's the "fusion" part. Food...whatever. read more

I come here often I consider it the best asian/Chinese in Astoria and wonder why it's not packed and other Japanese places like Watawa for instance on Ditmars are busier!! Frankly I consider Rice K much better in everything you should try the special Roll Alaskan Winter fantastic! Very good food, great service and the price very reasonable! read more

The food is delicious! Fresh, good portions, fast service. Would particularly advise trying the eel sashimi. Highly recommend!
