The decor was upscale, clean, and inviting. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent and came out quick! Lastly, the price was amazing! I think it's a good value and I gave the server a nice tip because he was perfect! I've been to this restaurant about three times and I've never had a bad experience. This time I was by myself and it was awesome! I wish I tried the fancier, sushi rolls, and plan to next time. read more

Rice Restaurant - Chirashi - Japanese Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Pretty solid Japanese/East Asian cuisine. The staff is super friendly and quick to help you decide on a dish if you're feeling overwhelmed. The food always tastes fresh and is cooked perfectly. The ambiance is really elegant and simple. The place doesn't get too loud so you can have a real conversation in here. The prices are higher than I'd like but I have never felt like I wasn't getting what I paid for. read more

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. read more

Came for lunch with a friend and we both had the Lunch special: Choice of one or two rolls with either soup or salad. We both ordered soup and two rolls each. Our soup came out first and they were both just room temperature. We have both eaten here before, and the soup was always very hot so I am not sure what happened. Our rolls came out next and were delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff were friendly. We love the sushi, it is always fresh! We will be back. read more

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. read more

Rice Restaurant - Dining area - Japanese Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We've been to Rice a couple of times and enjoy it for a nice but casual night out. The sake flight is fun and something different. There's a wide variety of food although we usually go for the sushi. I did get the teriyaki chicken last time and thought it was decent. I liked that it came with soup and salad! Service was really good. They were attentive but not overbearing. I am sure we will be back. read more

Best. Egg rolls. Anywhere. The sushi is good, as are the Chinese dishes. Service is also excellent, and it's a nice place to eat. It's a little spendy, but worth it for a special treat. read more

Just got take out from there. Service was prompt, food was ready on time and nice and hot. Unfortunately from there went downhill. Egg roll was ok, not very crispy, but I've had worse. Middle of the road. General Tso's chicken might have been the most tasteless Chinese food I've ever had. Chicken was cooked, it looked good, but it was just not good. I've had general tsos with more flavour and better taste from buffets, supermarkets, dive takeout places, and this was probably on the bottom of my list. I ate 4 or 5 pieces and gave up even though I was starving. Maybe I got the cook on a bad night or they forgot to add something, but it really was just not good. read more

Went there for dinner on a Saturday evening for the first time. They far surpassed the expectations that I had from reading the great reviews online. The server / hostess was the sweetest woman! She was so attentive to our table as well as others. Always filling our drinks, coming to the table asking if we needed anything, if everything was okay... She was awesome! Our dinner was served and not only was it beautiful, it was some of the best sushi we've had in a while. The dining area was very clean, and the ambiance was great! We can't wait to go back! Thank you, Rice, for making our visit so memorable! read more

I just picked up my $200 to go order. When I got there I asked for 2 sides of spicy mayo and 2 sides of eel sauce...she rung it up and said "that will be $5". Since I didn't have cash and didn't meet the $10 minimum credit card requirement...I had to leave without sauces for our $200 order!!! Seriously?! I can't speak to the quality or taste of the food yet...but definitely annoyed at that kind of service. read more

I love this hidden gem. Food and customer service is amazing. Everything is always fresh and prompt service.

Pretty bomb chinese and sushi if you ask me. We ordered chicken and broccoli, butterfly shrimp with a peanut sauce and the magic roll. The chicken and broccoli was good, traditional and exactly what I was expecting. The butterfly shrimp my boyfriend wasn't too much of a fan (there was a lot of bacon if you're a fan of that). The magic roll we split and really enjoyed! It was pretty big too. Definitely worth driving to pick it up. I don't remember if they don't delivery or if we were too far but it doesn't matter i'd do it again! read more

Tried this restaurant out on Sunday with my parents and BF. My Dad got the Lobster roll and he liked it. My Mom got the Terriyaki chicken and didn't like it. She commented that the sauce was just spread on plain chicken and you didn't get that sticky texture you would with chicken that was cooked slow/low in a savory sauce. BF got two basic sushi rolls that were average and the Kani Salad (pretty small portion for the price). As the one low carb eater, my options were limited. I got the seaweed salad and the tuna ceviche appetizer. The seaweed salad was good and didn't seem to have added sugar. The tuna ceviche was good but for $15 it was overpriced for the portion size (about 2 ounces of meat with nothing else but a little minced onion). For about $21/$22 for my food I would have expected more food and needed to go home and have second lunch to feel full. Seems pretty average/above average but for the price, it goes down a star because you aren't really getting too much for what you're paying. read more

Awesome! Pretty expensive but we'll worth it. General Tso is great! Fried Rice is awesome. Will return!! read more

This place (if they care) needs to do better. Pick a genre. Don't do to much at a mediocre standard. Food is not great. Totally subpar AND super expensive. Threw away most of it tonight. What a waste. read more

What a burst of flavors in their meals. Shrimp and bacon came over egg with pine nuts, scallions, onions, peppers, and carrots cooked in. The taste buds were in heaven. Asparagus sushi and Cucumber sushi was just perfect. The orange chicken with rice was so tender and flavorful. An overall great experience. read more

A few days ago, we decided (based on a number of positive reviews) to try this restaurant. When we entered we were seated promptly and greeted in a friendly manner. Since the menu was mainly rolls, sushi and sashimi, we decided to order the sufis and sashimi de-lux. The order included soup and salad, which were quiet tasteless. The miso soup was quite OK (but luke warm), but the salad had a strange tasting brown dressing, which was supposed to be the usual carrot dressing on these small Japanese salads. When the sushi and sashimi arrived it looked well decorated, but the fish looked tired. We tried a few pieces, but found them rather tasteless. The salmon was OK, but the rest was not. Barely edible pieces of rather stale and chewy fish. Some of the pieces, I found had a chemical taste, as if they had been sprayed with something. We decided to just leave about half or more of the each dish on our plates and ask for the check. The waiter/owner was visibly upset since we told him we did not want to take the rest home. A younger woman then came over to ask what was wrong. My husband explained to her that this was not Sushi quality fish, and we could not eat it. She apologized and offered to compensate us if we told her what we wanted as compensation. We had no idea what to say but told her it was her decision what to do to correct the situation. As a response, she said she would inform her supplier that the fish was not fresh. Then she simply brought us the bill and there was not even a discount offered. Apparently, since we did not give her an exact figure of the discount we excepted, she did not feel we derived any compensation. We were both upset about the horrible quality, and the rude behavior on the part of the owners. The apology was not sincere, and asking us for an offer of compensation, and then not responding at all was really a tricky strategy. This restaurant serves inferior products for a high price, the same pre-packaged sushi you get for $15.95 at the all you can eat Asian chain restaurants !!! Avoid this place at all cost! read more

Every time we come to Rice, we're always super happy. For some reason we always have Lydia as our server and she is just the sweetest. My husband has gotten the sushi & sashimi combo twice now and while I don't remember what I had the first time, this time I had Chicken & Broccoli. I'm not a big sushi fan but I will say their other food is still delicious! It always seems a bit empty when we get there though which is sad cause it is a really nice place. So if you're looking for some good sushi and sake, for sure go here. read more

This place is a bit tucked away but the service is excellent and the staff very kid friendly. We came here for sushi and found some very unusual and unique creations for sushi, even one with fruit which was nicely done. We ordered wonton soup, walnut shrimp and chicken lo mein. The entrees came out before the sushi because our table was hungry so they didn't wait to serve the sushi first. Everyone at our table liked everything they tried. Wontons in the wonton soup had a nice blend of flavor. The walnut shrimp has a sweet mayo sauce and a nice crunch to the shrimp itself. The broccoli and walnuts were more of a garnish than part of the dish itself. The sushi was pretty in its presentation; they do not offer the little plates to mix the wasabi and soy sauce, which is a little unusual so I did without to get a sense of the flavor of each roll. I was able to pick up most of the rolls without trouble so the rice had enough stick except for the fruit tango and that is probably because the ingredients make it hard since it has a little more water content. In sum, our party had a great time and we are interested in coming again soon. read more

This restaurant had good reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor so my wife and I thought it was worth a try. The most important thing regarding sushi is that the fish must be perfectly fresh. Unfortunately, the situation was just the opposite at Rice. I ordered sushi deluxe and my wife order sashimi deluxe. The plate was pretty but the fish itself was old and limp. We ate about half the order and then decided to leave. The waiter and manager asked us why we did not finish our fisher want to take it with us, and we explained that it was not fresh. The answer: "Sorry. This is what we received ed from our supplier. We will tell them you said that it is not fresh." (Did the restaurant not NOTICE that the fish was not fresh when they received the sushi?) It is the responsibility of any restaurant to make sure that all their food is fresh, but the responsibility is even more serious in the case of raw fish. Most of the customers were eating rolls made with mayonnaise etc. that may have masked the fact that the food was not fresh. I recommend staying away from this restaurant. Epilogue: By the next morning I had a very bad case of diarrhea, which I suspect was due to eating spoiled fish. read more

I feel lucky to be less than 10 minutes away from Rice. I have never been disappointed by the food - Great Sushi- but also great Japanese and Chinese entrees. Rice is in a higher echelon than other restaurants in the immediate area in terms of food quality, preparation and presentation. read more
