    Crouching tiger  Madagascar  Mexican
    Britt C.

    You would never expect anything as fabulous as it was. It's located in a small strip center in Tellico village. I am so pleasantly suprised. Francisco was our waiter and recommended some great rolls for us. My favorite was definitely the Mexican and Madagascar we ordered extra spicy. Delicious, if we lived here we would definitely become regulars. Highly recommend.

    Finally gave Rice Kitchen a try. I don't have sushi often so we just ordered a couple of rolls to go. The Mexican roll was fried and the Honey Moon roll was not. Both had good flavor, were fresh, and are items I would order again. I went early, before 5pm to pick up my order, and there weren't many in the restaurant. The ambience is clean, comfortable but plain. The servers were attentive while I waited. The bottom line : the food was good and I will go back. They offer a variety of items, including many rolls, sashimi, hibachi, and teriyaki. Give it a try.

    Everytime the service and food is amazing!!! The owner is great and made my daughter a special shrimp nigiri! They also always make her kid chopsticks! The chicken hibachi and all the sushi is amazing! My favs so far are the UT roll and mango tango roll. My 8 year loves the California roll as it is a big piece of crab versus the crab salad. So grateful this place is close and delicious!!!

    Great little spot in the heart of Tellico Village. A little bit of a slow night and we were seated immediately. Service was quick and friendly. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The California role tasted like a bite of Spring on a brisk Fall evening. The chicken hibachi was juicy and flavorful, the rice was fresh and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were spot on. The entire staff and manager/owner were incredibly friendly and eager to please. This was my first trip but definitely not my last.

    Walking in late, to almost closing time, the staff was very friendly and welcomed us in with opened arms. Looking over the menu they have lots of sushi items and hibachi grill. We ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi that comes with a salad and mixed vegetables. The salad had lettuce with a straight ginger dressing, sweet tasting. The chicken and shrimp was really good. The vegetables were cooked well. Really enjoyed the family atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Thank you for coming to Tellico Village.

    Seems like they were closed for a few months not long ago. Now this. They used to be super busy but…read morenot as much anymore. Come on, do better. This health score is not good. https://www.wate.com/news/food-for-thought/10-pounds-of-food-tossed-during-inspection-at-maryville-restaurant/

    Thanks to our Knoxville Yelp Elite buddy (when that was a thing) who is also gluten free for…read morerecommending this as a place that "might" have vegan options! We were greeted promptly and cheerfully and seated. When we asked our server for possible vegan options he grabbed us a vegan menu. Practically unheard of in the Knox area! We ordered both the asparagus and peanut & avocado rolls to share. The peanut & avocado roll is outstanding and something I look forward to ordering in the future! He got the Mixed Vegetable in Vegan Brown Sauce and added tofu. He was asked if he wanted fried or steamed which is a nice touch. I got the Broccoli Mushroom with Tofu. Both were delicious. I got a 4 out of 5 spice level which was perfect for me. If I'm feeling especially risky, I might try the 5 level one day! Our server was very helpful and answered my questions about the menu for "next time". They have brown rice...yay. Also the Fresh Mango with Sticky Rice also happens to be vegan...sometimes restaurants that serve this "coconut milk" dish also add regular milk, but the kitchen confirmed it's "just" coconut milk. We've driven past the building hundreds of times, and it's a rather unassuming building. But, once inside, you're transported to an Asian decorated restaurant that reminds me of others I've been to. We went at dinner and the portions were huge and we left stuffed, and decided next time we'll share one dish with an extra order of rice and get the sticky rice. They also have a lunch menu, which doesn't have any vegan options, but our server said you can order from the dinner menu at lunch.
