So glad they were open to deliver a little later than the pizza joints. I ordered honey sesame with steamed rice.... I enjoyed it! I sung praises. But please do not Get the orange chicken... I don't know about that recipe. But overall, I was pleasantly surprised, fast delivery and polite. read more

Rice Pot Express - The honey sesame chicken... After I killed it! - Chinese Near Me - Prosper, Texas

See all

Service was weird, Chinese lady who yelled at you with a rude tone when she spoke. I had a to go order and I asked for chop sticks for me and fork for my daughter, this is when she yelled at me..Super uncomfortable. They messed up my order, (I should have checked it) and sent me home with no rice. I decided to eat some of the Cashew chicken but it was awful. I will never give them my business again. Sad. read more

My wife and I love this restaurant chain and thankfully I was told that they recently opened a new one in Sherman, TX which is much closer to our home than Prosper. Wife's favorites: appetizers (Veg. Spring Rolls & BBQ Chicken Sticks); entrees (Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, Bourbon Chicken, Happy Family & Seafood Delight. Mine is Seafood Delight and Happy Family. You can select the meat you want with some of the entrees (Chicken, beef, pork, shrimp). The Rice Pots we have been to are small with no frills but clean and comfortable. I have always take-out but they have recently started delivery service. I have seen reviews where they said the entree was loaded with grease which I believe they mistook for the white sauce. Also, that the veggies were not fresh but I also believe they were confused because the vegetables are STEAMED and therefore are not as crisp as some people are used to. Our only disappointment was the Walnut Shrimp. They need to eat some of this at the Taste of China restaurant in Sherman, TX and copy that dish. read more

Food is always good and service is quick. We order sweet and sour chicken and the steamed dumplings

Rice Pot is a great little Chinese Food spot for when you want something fast and you don't want to drive far. They usually have my order ready within 15 minutes which is great. They also deliver which is a plus! So really don't have to go anywhere. They are always friendly and they have a few tables where you can sit down and eat. My son and I love the honey sesame chicken with white rice. The chicken is always hot and slightly crispy, which I love. I also like the Dan Dan Noodles with chicken. They've got a nice kick to them too. I have tried a couple other items that I am not a fan of but if you want something other than Sonic or Pizza Hut, this is a good option. read more

I actually stopped eating my food from this restaurant to write my review; and when I say that, I do not mean in a good way. And giving them one star is a stretch. Trust me. I stopped by after work on the 4th of July (yes, I had to work...don't judge me LOL) and was not in the mood to cook anything, so I wanted to stop by this restaurant to give them a try. I had received flyers from them in the mail on weekly/bi-weekly basis, so since I was in the mood for something like this, I decided to give it a try. So here is my overall review of this establishment: I HATED IT. I walked in the door, and all of the employees were sitting in the dining area watching tv. This did not bother me because I know that most restaurants (especially on holidays) tend to be very slow business-wise. As I'm walking in the door, a young woman walked up to the counter. I told her that I needed a few moments to look over the menu. After about 30 seconds or so, I placed my order. I opted for the Shrimp Fried Rice and Fried Dumplings. The young woman takes my credit card to swipe, hands it back to me, hands me a receipt and just walks away. I kinda got he vibe that she did not want to be there. A few mins later, my food was ready. I got home, took my food out of the bag and was eager to eat since I was very hungry. Now on to the food: The first thing that I opened was the fried dumplings. Now, when someone orders fried dumplings, you would think that the dumplings would be crispy, right?!?! NOT!!! The dumplings looked like they had been fried for less than 30 seconds. Actually, they were still rubbery as if I were eating steamed dumplings. The taste of the dumplings were OKAY but nothing to brag about. Next I had a FEW BITES of the shrimp fried rice. It tasted horrible!!!!! The rice tasted very undercooked, as well as the shrimp. I spent a total of $16 bucks and some change; very little of it was eaten, the majority of it went down my garbage disposal. So at the end of the day, the food was horrible, and I lost $16 dollars. I will not be going back. I will just continue to drive across town to my favorite chinese spot when I'm really in the mood for something like this. Rice Pot Express will never get another dime out of me. Sorry. Not Impressed. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I called because order wasn't what I expected and was to be frank, disgusting! Who wants an order of sweet and sour chicken that is half carrot slices? I've never heard of such a thing! Spoke to a very nice young man who got the "manager" on the phone. She was argumentative from the beginning of the conversation. Talking over me, arguing about anything I said I didn't like. Seriously? I am not one to complain or leave bad reviews.... but I will with this place. I will not order from this place again. Here's your fair warning..... read more

I have ordered twice now, it's below average Chinese food for sure. Little flavor, soggy Crab Rangoon etc. Unfortunately no other options in Prosper or they would not be in business. Better Chinese food in the Kroger frozen food section. I will not order again. read more

Moved to Texas from California a few weeks ago, so the first thing we look for is Chinese food:) When we ran into this place, we immediately tried it. As much as possible, I do not want to review this place right away because I really do not want it to be a negative one, but the owner should know from a customers perspective. Since I have tried this place over 4 times, here is my review and seriously the owner should take a look into this and make changes because they are not the only Chinese food around and with Prosper growing so quickly, there will be other food chains coming in. Customer service - you will get good service depending on who helps you. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Immediately, before you can take a look at the menu they asked for your order. Please, give us a minute to look at your menu first. We don't walk in knowing what to order :) Another time we can in, it was around 4pm asked about the lunch menu. The person who helped us didn't know what I was talking about. Maybe because its no longer lunch..lol Another time we came in no realizing its way after their lunch special but we asked if its still lunch special. Of course they said its no longer available but the young girl, owners daughter started talking to another, looked at us then laughed, I'm assuming because we asked for a lunch special. Anyways, you should not make customers feel stupid ;) Owner yells at customers...maybe its just how she talks but she was talking down to someone she thinks is below her level. Guess what? The positive thing is that, Aiya Chinese food is just around the corner ;) read more

Recently moved to the area and we were craving some take out. The Rice Pot Express is the most convenient location for Chinese in our area and so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately we came to regret it. The service was poor, the food was about the same quality as a freezer meal from the grocery store, and everyone at our house who ate it (some lucky few abstained because they were not in the mood for Chinese) spent the night throwing up and with diarrhea. Not good Chinese food; not even if you're in a pinch and need something quick. Definitely a place to avoid. read more

Pretty decent price. 3 entrees (which lasted for 2 meals) + 3 boxes fried rice (disappointing rice) + 3 egg rolls (delicious) = $25 I recommend the honey sesame chicken. It's off the chain. Skip the sweet and sour pork. read more

The worst Chinese food ever! Overly priced, bland tasting food, they charge for spicy oil and delivery. Rude and unprofessional!

This is a good place to order and eat from in prosper. If your passing by in the mood for Chinese, stop at rice pot. The service there is good and the and the employees there are very nice. read more

your typical chinese food and their sauces are really good and i love some of their side dishes!

Horrible experience. Avoid if possible. The lady in red hair (refused to give name or Identify herself) mannerism is not exceptional for the experience. read more

We have eaten here 4 times and the food has been good and service. They even hold the gravy and put in side as I don't like all the sweet sauces. read more

We just moved here and we called to give this place a try. I ordered Orange chicken and specifically asked for it to be nice and fresh. It was the absolute opposite. Worst I've ever had. It was brown, and looked and tasted like it was 3 days old and had been reheated multiple times. My husband's Pepper Steak was overcooked and inedible. We both ended up throwing our food away. When I posted afterward looking for better recommendations on NextDoor, there were several other people who had a similar experience. Don't waste your money here. I will never understand how some of these places stay in business when they don't give a crap about the quality of their food. I would be mortified to put my name behind food like that. read more

If you have a sensitivity to msg STAY AWAY! After 3 bites of the orange chicken I got the worst headache. If you have a sensitivity to msg you know what I'm talking about. There must be an enormous amount in their food! We will not be back. However, if msg doesn't bother you the food is not bad. read more

It's good for what it is. We've been ordering for several years and it's pretty consistent.

I don't know if this place has switched owners or what but the food today was top notch. Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long long time. I had szechuan chicken and fried rice. Keep it up! read more

I really wanted to love this place being it's so close to home. Dinner was ready quickly, but was just "blah". Just had Chinese take-out a couple days prior and wish we had driven a little farther. I believe my microwave meals are so much better, everything was overly salted and bland to say the least. :-/ read more

The place is horrible, my family and visited here on Friday evening. People there are rude, they treat you as if they don't want you there. Will not go back do not recommend read more

After living in Celina for awhile, I'm so happy that we finally have a take-out asian food place to order from. The food is yummy and the service was fantastic. I think the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are big enough to share. They also deliver for only $1. They are open until 10pm!! read more

This is an update to my review. So I went there again with some friends from work, they like it but they all got sick. They all didn't have the same things some had chicken others had beef or seafood and one a vegetarian. The only thing they ate in common was some spicy mustard. Thank goodness I did not have any. Anyways the food is still tasty. read more

Chinese Delivery to Frisco. I called up this place for delivery on a lazy Sunday afternoon after hearing from some neighbors that they delivery to our area and are yummy. It was mid-afternoon and they quoted me for 45 minutes delivery. I wasn't watching the clock but would say that they were just about on time with that. There is a $15 minimum order requirement for delivery. They give you large portions that make enough for sharing or multiple meals. I ordered the dumplings, pan fried which I was disappointed in being more soggy than crisp, but that could be due to the delivery. I should have ordered steamed (for multiple reasons) but may try the pan fried if I ever dine in. Otherwise, they are great and they give you 8 of them for $5. I also ordered the String Bean with Beef and the fried rice. I had heard that they do not put any extras (veggies) in their rice, just fried egg. I felt that the rice was lacking severely in the flavor department, so definitely don't expect anything spectacular here. The dish itself had a great flavor and was savory. Lots of green beans and a fair portion of the meat as well. It's very thinly sliced beef. They included a complimentary spring roll, and of course a fortune cookie. Overall, I'd order here again, but would stick to plain steamed rice or a noodle dish next time. read more

This is the absolute worst Chinese food I have ever had. No flavor, chicken seemed old and dry. I will not be going back

We routinely order from these folks on Fridays when I'm in no mood to cook and a post work martini awaits. Their delivery charge is way reasonable, and the food is good if you know what to order. The Giant's latest fav is teriyaki chicken which is really healthy: steamed veg, grilled chicken and sauce on the side. The only thing is that the total cost can get up there if you get extras like brown rice ($1 extra) and another two ounces of sauce ($1 extra). I mean, who eats white rice anymore? read more

Never have been charged $11 ( or something close) for fried rice before. No value, rude staff. When she calculated my fried rice order; I just said " no thank you" and left. If anyone knows a Asian chef that wants to earn a fortune , the opportunity exists! 3-5 visits; all sub par read more

We live in Celina, which is even further north than Prosper. Our food selection is limited so when rice pot opened up we gladly opened our wallets and could not be happier. Food is great (we have been ordering since they opened and never got sick.... but we do not eat the spicy mustard either) The delivery service is out standing. I highly recommend. read more

Food is good for takeout. Service isn't great and the environment if you decide to eat onsite is worse.

Best Chinese food takeout. Easy quick and simple! The food taste great and the service is very friendly.

The delivery was very fast and the food was hot. The steamed dumplings, sesame chicken, and orange peel chicken were all excellent. Great Chinese delivery. read more

I live 5 minutes away, and decided to order from this place. I waited an hour before calling to ask what was going on, and they told me that they were backed up and my order was out for delivery. I waited another 45 minutes, and called again. I was told that my order was sent for delivery (with 5 others). Almost two hours later, I call to cancel my order and thirty minutes later, the delivery man shows up. I politely decline my meal, and tell the driver that the order was cancelled. I've eaten here before and the food has always been okay, and worth ordering again. However, this experience alone is worth going somewhere else for takeout. To make things worse, I was charged twice. read more

This place is disgusting. I went in to get a to go order and there were nasty dishes piled up in the corner. I went to use the bathroom and they took water and put it in an empty soap bottle to act like it was actually soap. The place is dirty and the chefs looks like they just finished mowing some lawns. I'm pretty sure they spit in my food. I will not be eating it. Good luck. read more

We have tried them a few times and there is no improvement in quality of food. Somehow they make chicken have no flavor at all. I would suspect that most of their product comes frozen and they don't really make anything, just heat it. read more

Over priced. The staff wasnt very friendly and the food was cold. Took 20 mins to get my simple rice bowl. not returning.

I'm conflicted on Rice Pot. The food is good. I've never had a poor meal here. However, the service really needs to be improved. If I was take-out I guess I would rate four stars. But we typically eat-in and in general the staff is not focused on a great customer experience in any area - ever. Their biggest bonus is the lack of competition. If a competitor opens up nearby with better service it will hurt... read more

Didn't even get to try this place because the woman taking or trying to take my order was extremely rude.

Pretty disappointed by our meal delivery - that part was fast but the food was kinda awful. Chicken was old or fried twice or in old oil? Anyway it was hard and dry. Spicy chicken wasn't spicy and was 90% peppers, celery, carrots and onion. Pretty much a $10 plate of vegetables. Crab rangoons were good...yay. read more

Shockingly delicious take out! My mother in law suggested we order delivery from this place, and I was largely skeptical: small town Chinese food is typically flavorless, greasy and not fresh. Also, I was forlornly missing the amazing authentic Chinese food I'd had while living in Seattle last year. But to be accommodating, I called in our order. The workers on the phone were VERY nice and the delivery guy was too. The food arrived perfectly hot and exactly as we ordered it. But my biggest surprise was tasting it-- wow! My General Tso's chicken was some of the best I'd ever had. The vegetables were very fresh and crisp, and the sauces were full of flavor. The rice was perfect too. Couldn't have been more surprised and pleased. Writing this review makes me crave the General Tso's chicken now... read more
