    Chicken and broccoli
    Sherry J.

    Definitely not one of our better visits, and not because of the food or service. The woman behind the bar never stopped loudly talking to a man sitting at the bar from the time we arrived at 6:45 pm until we left at 8:15 pm. It was so obnoxious and annoying, and it was NON-STOP. We couldn't hear our own conversation but heard everything about hers. And since she works there, I doubt we would ever return. That is how annoying it was. We have several sushi places we enjoy and they are all QUIET. Our server was wonderful and the food was enjoyable but we will only remember that woman who never stopped talking for 1.5 hours.

    Service was good. The ambiance was not as classy as the photos. The seats were very hard. We found some chairs in the corner with some cushions. "This was actually pretty terrible. It exceeded my expectations of how terrible it was," was my husband's exact words. The scallop lollipop had a lot of sand inside. My son would not even eat the stir fry udon. It was sweet and charred. I felt so embarrassed to pick this restaurant for my dad's 70th birthday. The Kowloon roll, there was no sign of soft shell crab and the crab meat was so dry. The only thing decent was the hot and sour soup and edamame. Never coming back. Not worth the drive.

    House Salad with Ginger dressing

    This place is kind of a hidden gem. It's not very noticeable if you driving around to look for a place to eat. I hope they will improve on that. The dining room is spacious and very comfortable. Food was above average. The hot and sour soup was nice and hot (both temp and spiciness) and not too thick. My wife ordered the Pad Thai lunch and I ordered Lo Mein lunch with shrimps. The noodles are stir fried just right, al dente, and nicely seasoned. The only comment I have is the Pad Thai is too heavy in ketchup. We also ordered a 3 sushi roll combo and they were very nice too. Our waitress, Lidia, was very friendly and attentive. I'd recommend this restaurant. We'll be back.

    Vegetable Tempura Roll - Sweet Potato Roll
    Lilly B.

    I'm so happy that Rice is finally opened fully and back to normal! I called to order out and the staff was super friendly and helpful. My takeout was also ready in 15 minutes! I tried a few new special rolls that were really tasty! The Shrimp Lovers roll was filled with shrimp on the inside and outside making it a true shrimp lovers roll. The Riverside Roll was a mix of scallop, avocado, spicy shrimp, and topped with jalapeño and crunch on top. It was little spicy which was absolutely welcomed! The veggie tempura and sweet potato were very similar but both delicious!

    I love this place! The food and the service the atmosphere all great! I've been here a few times for take out but decided to treat myself for dinner. Takeout has always been hot and ready good portion delicious fresh sushi! I love the tempura combo it's my go to order. They have a great sushi menu and hot food as well. Service was fast and friendly! Inside is very nice open clean and I love the lights they have beautiful little crystals on a string hanging down. It's family friendly and romantic and casual. Can't wait to bring my husband for a sushi date!

    Fruit Tango Special Roll
    Shayla M.

    If you are a sushi fan, you should definitely check out Rice restaurant. Although they were only open for take out the service was still great! I opted for a bento box and some sushi rolls for lunch. I decided to try the Firework Roll out. The roll was pretty tasty, but I'm sure would have been better if it was not placed in a to go container. The container took away the tempura factor from the roll and the roll just lost its crunch factor. I'll be taking tempura options into consideration for future orders. If you are up for a fruity roll the Fruit Tango roll is amazing! This roll has a fried banana and mango inside and topped with fresh strawberries. The bento box was very fulfilling and came with soup and a salad. No complaints with the bento box and had plenty enough leftover to eat for dinner. Overall I enjoyed my take out experience at Rice and would definitely return.

    Rice Newark, Delaware Food: Crunchy Tiger Roll - not recommend. Chicken with Jing Jiang Sauce Steak Teriyaki (Hot and Sour Soup/ Green Salad) - get the sauce on the side. Drinks: N/A Overall Rating: 3.4/5 Family Friendly: Yes Recommended: Meh. The restaurant itself was very pretty, but the food was just okay. Forgot to take a picture of the sushi.

    Ask the Community - Rice Restaurant

    Do they do takeout?

    Yes they have takeout

    Is there a kids menu?

    Not that I can recall BUT i went with my one year old and they made the sushi smaller for her to pick up and eat it and are willing to accommodate for smaller bits and taste. Very kid friendly!!

    Best Chinese in this area. China Dragon is better than typical strip mall shopping Chinese. It has…read morea few tables inside. Even so most people get it to go. The food is cheap and not bad for price. About as good as Chinese from a strip mall can possibly be. It has the menus with all the numbers for the items. They have the usual kind of stuff. Has a few vegetarian choices. The best of these is the Bean Curd With Mushroom. It's $7.50 for a good amount. This only comes in the quart size. Along with mushrooms, it also comes with lots of broccoli. The tofu is slightly crispy. I would consider ordering from here again. It's best to get carryout. There's only a few tables inside and it's kind of sticky.

    Not good. Was tricked again by Yelp with all these good reviews (now that I'm looking at them they…read morewere all a couple of years ago). My husband went to pick up some Chinese for our lunch and he said they were super rude to him. He almost walked out but we are determined to find a to go Chinese place in Wilmington. This place is cash only and apparently the lady was particular about what he gave her (wanted more change then $10 bills). Anyway got the food and he brought it back home. Lunch special was kind of small. I got the roast pork and broccoli. There wasn't that much meat which was mostly broccoli which was disappointing. The fried rice was just okay and the broccoli tasted old. We opted to pay 75 cents more to swap our can of soda (comes with combo) to an egg roll. The egg roll was just a frozen egg roll fried in very old oil. I was starving so I doused it in sauce and ate it anyway. I also had a bit of an allergic reaction eating the egg roll so maybe I'm allergic to what's in it or the oil they fried it in. Who knows. Not returning to this place thats for sure. Maybe DE just doesn't have good Chinese food in general.

Comes with the egg roll which I did not partake cuz this boy is getting chunky. Chicken: 2.75/5. The chicken meat was kinda stringy. The sauce lacked boldness in flavor - it was neither sweet nor salty nor tangy. Breading was soggy. Rice: 2.5/5 undercooked and crunchy, unfortunately. Wok Hei was mediocre at best. Their char siu pieces lacked any specific flavor. The shrimp was surprisingly the redemption factor of it. Broccoli: Two pieces, fresh Overall: 2.75/5. Will pass

It was different in a few ways, most notably it wasn't that run of the mill pink, green and white thing. Theirs was colorful and fun, great way to get my attention. And I liked that they were doing hot wings. I'm definitely down to try those however today I went with traditional Chinese. I got the Hot Pepper Chicken under the BBQ Specials and an egg roll. When the nice man handed me the bag it was heavy. When I got it home I saw why. It was packed with chicken and rice. At 5.79 I thought that was pretty awesome. And it was good and hot. Left my mouth with that tingling Szechuan sensation I've become obsessed with. I'm holding on to a star until I try the wings which comes with TEN different sauces. They even have Jerk Chicken on the menu. I would definately be curious to see what an Asian spin on a Jamaican classic would be like. Stay tuned for that review in the meantime good job China Wok!
