    Orange chicken
    Cat N.

    Ew the orange chicken I got was not good. To make it worse, it came with sweet and sour sauce on the side, may I ask why? I mean, most foodie knows orange chicken is not authentic Chinese but everybody knows it doesn't come with sweet and sour sauce. It's not sweet and sour chicken! The orange sauce was more like a teriyaki orange sauce. It didn't taste like orange chicken. I will order something else next time. Their crab Rangoon were just plain. No taste...bleh. I might give them another try one day when I'm desperate and lazy. The only good thing is they do delivery.

    They get your money and send food you can't eat and then laugh when you call to send it back or get credit!! I've ordered from this restaurant many times and in the past 3 years and it has been pretty good up until now. I've never had to complain before. The food looks good but is old and tastes bad liken it was cooked another day and kept a day or so and then delivered. In the past a woman always answered and was very polite and friendly, she even knew me from past orders but, this time s man answered and was rude. Instead of any crispness the breading is soggy and sticks to the meat. A few days ago I had ordered 2 sesame chicken dinners that tasted awful. I took these pictures of it then. Called the restaurant the day after I ordered it and got the same man on the phone, he refused to issue a credit or to reverse the charge on my credit card. He actually laughed when I said that I would like a credit and that I could send the meals back. Do not order from this place all they do is get your money and leave you with food that you can't even eat.

    I feel like I get a lot of the same things for lunch while I'm at work, so I tried this place simply because I hadn't tried them before and didn't look at any reviews. Chinese food can really add up so I tend to start cheap when trying a new place out and see how they do. I ordered the kids portion of the Honey Sesame Chicken, which came iwth fried rice for $5.49 and a spring roll for $1.29. Overall it was pretty okay. I wish there was less meat and more rice, but I think most people like that there is more meat. It's a good portion for the price. The chicken had good flavor and was still crispy, but starting to lose some of that texture. It had a good cook, just wasn't as tender as I would like it. The fried rice tasted fine, but was pretty plain. Fried rice is usually my judging point on a Chinese place and how quickly I am to return. It was pretty filling for a kids portion actually. The spring roll had a good crisp on the outside, but was kind of slimey on the inside. I'm a big texture person so I wouldn't order this again, even if this was a one off. You got to consider this is basically the fast food, greasy Chinese genre when rating. I've been to better, but I've definitly been to worse. I will say the lunch portions, appetizers and sides are dirt cheap so it works for something quick on the go. It wasn't bad and I would try another meal from here to see if I get wowed. For now, it's just pretty average.

    Do NOT consult Google when looking for this place. It'll lead you somewhere 3 miles away. I found out the hard way. OK, now that that's out of the way..The Chinese food here is..well..not really Chinese food. I'm pretty sure you got that from the name of this place, but just in case you were wondering this is a Americanized Chinese place, which is fine. I love me some fake Chinese food from time to time. OK, more like every other day, but don't tell my family! Rice Pot has a condensed menu compared to other like restaurants, but they have everything you'll ever consider ordering. Come on now..I've never seen anyone order dishes like "Happy Family." Really don't know why other restaurants insist of keeping items like that on their menu. My go to dish is the Sesame Chicken. There's not much batter so you actually taste the chicken. What a concept. I'm getting sick and tired of these so-called Chinese restaurants messing my favorite dish up by using more batter than the chicken itself. No es frio, yo. If you dine in during lunch hours (11am-3pm) you get a buck off your order of Sesame Chicken ($5), Chicken Lo Mein ($5) or Hunan Beef ($6). You would think at this price that they would jip you on the food, but that's not the case. I believe this is a family run business. Everyone behind the counter seemed so friendly to each other and they were very welcoming to me when I walked in. There are a lot of these type of "Chinese" restaurants in Lewisville, but this is the best one in my opinion. With the quality of food at the price there's really no competition.

    Good chinese food. This area was lacking a decent place other than Panda Express - this is it. Can;t beat the lunch special - $4.99 - $5.99 includes rice, large entree, and spring roll. WHAT?? Crazy. The side of fried rice that comes with the entree is kind of pathetic, for fried rice - tiny bits of egg and a sliver of onion is all I ever find. I'm sure the entree size fried rice is full of stuff, but expect disappointment if you get it as a side. General Tso's is done well. The Sesame Chicken and Orange Peel Chicken were both on the sweet side, too much so for my tastes. Kung Pao is good, and SPICY. Mongolian wasn't too bad, but too much veggies compared to the ratio of beef. Pretty typical of that dish though. geez, can you tell I eat here too much?

    I loved it. You get what you pay for. I ordered honey sesame chicken lunch meal. Good flavor, good price, fast service. Eggroll was flavorless. Greeted by a man and woman upon restaurant entry. Man was pleasant, woman terse and rude.

    The food here is great. The cost for the amount you get is pretty good. They also had my order ready within a reasonable amount of time.

    Imperial Feast - Pork intestine with green mustard

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.
