My favorite chicken teriyaki place of all time. I've been going here since 2013. I was pretty skeptical since it was on a business area, and just an odd location. But this was the place all my co-workers were getting for lunch. When I had it, I understood why. They no longer make the free soup, but the food is always fresh and delicious. The way the chicken teriyaki has me in a chokehold, I will say, I haven't seen any that can compare. The guy who runs it with his wife is so kind, I believe his brother location is in Wilsonville, I will say this is best Rice time In my opinion. If you want good food and the best bang for your buck, you should try it! read more

Sorry I use to come here a while back and it's changed dramatically. I went on lunch hour and the place was empty so that was the first red flag. I know it has new owners but the food quality is not what it use to be. Very greasy/oily and for $13.00 you think I'd get chicken. I got like 6 little slices and the noodles were like rubber. I can't recommend this place and I didn't end up finishing my food due to the oil. read more

Surprised by all the good reviews. My chicken was dry despite all the oil. Not pleased with what I got for $20. Was starving so I ate it all, otherwise it would of gone back. **UPDATE** Just spent the last half hour fighting a bout of food poisoning. This oily substance woke me up from a dead sleep at 5am with extreme reflux that lead to expelling from both ends. Eat at your own risk! read more

My fried rice had almost no flavor & the chicken was dry. I think they had used plain white rice with some vegetables & chicken thrown in. Plus they charge $1.50 extra for egg in it. Any other place that serves fried rice has never charged me for egg... The egg rolls were amazing but the gyozas also had no flavor, I think they were frozen/store-bought. Cheap frozen ones. Side salad was just lettuce with a cup of ranch dressing on the side. The walls were splattered with sauce or something, everything we touched had a sticky residue. Our feet stuck to the floor when we walked. Ranch bottles were left out to grab & warm to the touch. It was almost 6pm & empty, I think there was time for them to clean. The only saving grace: the service was pretty great & our food came out fast. Plus, my husband really enjoyed his General Tso chicken & white rice. I do feel bad leaving a poor review, but I trusted the positive reviews & gave this place a shot & don't want others to come in expecting anything extraordinary. If you are low on time & don't want to make dinner at home, sure, it's fine... But otherwise, you will be disappointed. read more

I tried this place first on Uber Eats and have become HOOKED! It's about 10 minutes away from the office but everyone has an order for me when I say I'm going or ordering to have it delivered. Between myself and my coworkers we have tried about half the menu and have not found anything lacking. The food it always so darn fresh and tasty!! Teriyaki chicken, a must have. Egg rolls, yes please. Their salads and dressing, you better believe it. Everything is well portioned and delicious. A week hasn't gone by since I found this place that I haven't had something from here. read more

This place is kinda close to us, so it's nice to have a go-to Chinese place close by. The couple who run the place are super sweet! They had us order our food and then told us we could wait in the car and they'd bring it out to us. Fantastic service! Good Chinese is hard to come by. So three stars isn't terrible, and we'd come back when we get a hankering and don't want to drive very far. We got the bong bong chicken as an appetizer to see what it was. The sauce was what impressed us the most! I mean, the chicken was just fried chicken, but the sauce...whatever it was, was so, so good! We also got bacon fried rice because why not? But I generally only like Thai fried rice and forgot this little fact about myself when ordering the bacon. It tasted like most fried rice, which I don't generally like. But if you like Chinese fried rice, you'll like this! It wasn't overloaded with soy sauce either, so it was much healthier than other versions. My husband got the spicy chicken yakisoba and enjoyed it. Definitely a good place to go to for a work lunch, and it's an excellent location in a business park. read more

I had hesitated ordering take out from here for such a long time. That has been changed and it is now a go to. I rarely get yakisoba from places because rarely do I like their noodles. These were wonderful! I have also tried their chicken teriyaki, egg rolls and gyoza - all were delicious! AND, they have Dr Pepper...this, for me, is a huge deal...you do you but I'm a Pepper. Their portions are sizeable for the price which is always appreciated for something which reheats super well. read more

I saw the sign for a cheap lunch special as I drove past this place on Nimbus. I should have kept on driving and went to the nearby Panda Express instead. I was generally very unimpressed by everything. I tried the pot stickers along with the chicken teriyaki special. The self-serve salad didn't look very fresh or appetizing, so I skipped it. The soup was bland and some of the veggies tasted a bit old. The pot stickers appear to be store-bought, but they're not even as good as the ones at CostCo. The white rice and unseasoned chicken with teriyaki sauce were edible and cooked correctly. I saw the words "passable" and "serviceable" being tossed around in other reviews of this place and I'll apply those to the main course and pot stickers. The dining area was clean and well-kept with lots of 2-seat and 4-seat tables and free wi-fi, so it's very appropriate for its business park location. The people running the place were friendly as well. Finally, there's this large mural of the wild west frontier that felt a bit off. Animals getting enticed over the smell of themselves being cooked on a BBQ just feels wrong. If there weren't people in the way, I would have taken a panoramic photo, but I'm probably never coming back anyway to finish the job... Food: 2 Service: 4 Ambiance: 4 Value: 2 TL;DR: No time for Rice Time read more

Not bad, not great. As I work nearby it's nice to have somewhere within walking distance to pick up a quick lunch. The staff here is friendly and they do take call-in orders! They have "free soup" and kimchee that you can serve yourself prior to meal arriving. It's not that great unless you are THAT hungry. My food was cooked and served promptly. I ordered the spicy veggie chicken and am wishing I had taken some of the sauce to-go with me. It was not spicy at all. The chicken was all dark meat...meh. Too much cabbage in the "veggie mix". There really was hardly any chicken at all. Pretty much all cabbage. Crappy. Overall the portion was large. Each meal is served with a salad as far as I know. Is it just me or did the salad dressing have the slighest hint of root beer? Odd. The prices are average. Approx. $7 for a meal. Being this was my first time in trying Rice Time, I would come here again but advise in ordering something else. The Yakisoba looked good. read more

But we ordered off the Uber app and the combo meal we ordered had a photo showing the fried rice , spicy pork, Tso chicken and salad in box recyclable container. Instead of that packaging --as shown in photo on Uber--the combo arrived in tons of styrofoam. Please change your packaging so we can make your food a regular in our life!

This place has become a favorite of ours. We discovered it a short while back and have since placed SEVERAL orders. The orange chicken is our favorite and my son also enjoys the teriyaki chicken. I also learned that if you choose the steamed veggies as your side, you get those IN ADDITION to the white rice that it usually comes with. I was pleasantly surprised at that! When comparing specifically, this orange chicken, to others in the area, I would say this is better by far. If you're looking for a new Chinese food option, give Rice Time Oriental Grill a try! read more

This place is pretty good for Chinese "fast food". The eating area is clean and large enough for lunchtime crowds. Prices are reasonable. Portions are decent for the price. Pleasant, fast order taking. It's a little out of the way if you aren't familiar with this business park. There are several good lunch options walking distance from Nimbus. This is certainly one of them. read more

My 17 yr old LOVES this place and if he were doing the rating, we'd be right up there at 5 stars. But he's not. He & I stop into this place once in a while for lunch (they are a WEEKDAY only LUNCH joint). They won me over on FREE broth soup and kimchee on a day I had a bad ass cold. Then they pleasantly surprised me with a their generous tender and tasty teriyaki beef plate - it was less than $6.00 and comes with rice and aforementioned cold remedies! Bargain price for pleasant service and a bizarro interior in the midst of big business park off Nimbus. I like the people who run it, I like the price and my son thinks he's died and gone to HEAVEN.

Five Stars for the industrious and talented couple at Rice Time Oriental Grill. My employer opened an office near by in Nimbus. I gotta say, since the fist order, their fried rice/tofu has been delicious. I've tried a few other items on their menu. My mother and myself have not been disappointed. They are constant in freshness and it shows every time I place an order. A well established business with many years at same location as other have pointed out, it is tucked away. The ample parking makes for a fast pick up. A hidden Gem for tasty nurishment and timely service. :) read more

This place is tucked away in a business area and is frequented by a lot of employees that work nearby. They serve the best Kung Pao chicken in my opinion. I've been coming here for the last 14 yrs and will continue to come here. I would pick this place over Panda Express any day. The portions are huge and they provide free soup and salad which is self serve which you can eat while waiting for your food after you place your order. Don't be surprised if your order comes before you have had a chance to finish either your soup or salad. Their cook is pretty fast so your order comes super quick - literally a few minutes wait which is a plus when you are hungry or have a short lunch. Delicious food in minutes! read more

I know that's not an issue to most people but I drink about 1 soda a month and I like root beer, Not on tap and not in the cooler. It's walking distance for lunch and the roads are snow and ice.

Agedashi Tofu & Kirimochi - Light batter on tofu and kirimochi, but enough to soak up the tempura sauce. - Kirimochi and tofu were both soft and chewy with a crispy exterior. - 10/10 2. Lobster Kara Age - Just what you would expect from Kara Age, crispy and juicy. Not too oily, not too much batter. - Yuzu mayo covers the oiliness of the fried lobster. Citrus sauce is not overwhelming. - 10/10 3. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sushi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. No fishy aftertaste, rice was not overly sweet or salty and not overcooked. Fish slice size was larger and thicker compared to other restaurants. - 10/10 4. Sushi & Sashimi Combo (Sashimi) - Excellent quality sashimi grade fish. Hamachi was extra fatty and had amazing texture. Akami was not fishy at all, texture was great. - White fish on the side with yuzu sauce was a little fishy. Could improve, but overall an amazing dish with thick cut sashimi. Definitely satisfied expectations. - 8.5/10 5. Otoro Tuna Sashimi - Market price; reasonable price for the thick cut and quality. - Melts in your mouth, no fishy aftertaste. - Ordered after checking the fish quality from the sushi & sashimi combo. I had high expectations and the expectations were met. Great slices of fish. 10/10 ________________________________________ *Service: - Reservation was 6:30pm, but due to traffic, I arrived 15 minutes late. I had called in beforehand, which they kindly let us in despite the delay. Once seated and ordered at 7:00pm, pre-dinner sides, miso soup, and water were provided. Appetizers came out 10 minutes later, sashimi and sushi came out 10 minutes after the appetizers. Despite full seating, food came out fast, and of course with excellent plating and quality. Servers came around frequently to check on any needs. Overall, friendly servers, food quality is great. ________________________________________ * Atmosphere: - Overall very much satisfied. For the price of the items, quality and quantity was assured and tasted great. Restaurant was clean and quiet despite the full seating. Again, friendly servers and excellent food quality as well as fast serving time. Portland never really had great sushi/sashimi, but I definitely recommend coming here at least once, as the items I have ordered tasted great. Many liquor choices(wine, beer, sake, cocktails, etc.) and good choice of desserts as well. Would recommend if you dislike fish due to its fishiness since the sashimi and sushi here have no unpleasant aftertaste.

I am really glad to see so many good reviews and I don't want to yuck anyone's yum. But I was not…read moresuper pleased. The prices are quite high. I get that it's 2026 but over $30 for what I got was a little steep. The food is high quality. The rice is not too heavy and it's seasoned well. I saw a couple reviews about the rice falling apart and I can definitely see that. I got the Tokyo roll. All the Ingredients sounded good so I thought why not. The whole definitely ends up is than the sum of the parts. The bonito is a bit much and all I ended up tasting was bonito. The tempura roll was good. Quality shrimp. Just a little high a price for what I got. It's very possible I have been too loyal to my steadies which have a very good value. I could see myself coming back on someone else's dime or if I was feeling extra saucy.

Place is small so big groups of 6 or more may be a tight fit. The food was good although we didn't try the Ramen, we liked what we ordered. Will definitely go back to try it. I had the Kare Rice with Karaage which was good and the hubby had the Fuddo platter. Will definitely bring our boys next time.

We were right against the backs of other customers and had no room to move. We got started with chicken karaage, which was fine, I enjoyed the sauce that it came with. We had decided on ordering the fuddo yama deluxe and the red miso deluxe. Both claim to come with additional toppings, however I found the distribution to be uneven. The fuddo yamma deluxe had lots of bamboo shoots and other toppings, but the pork that it came with was essentially all fat. The broth was very milky and we found it to be overly salty. The red miso deluxe, on the other hand, was lacking in bamboo shoots but the pork was great. Unfortunately, the broth was also very salty and heavy in this one.

Oh yes. This is delicious. The menu is limited, just a few choices. But they are all delicious…read more The ambience is... well... there is none. You sit on a stool and eat your ramen. But it's good ramen, so have a seat and eat. This place is inside the H-Mart Korean grocery store. Just take a hard right as you come in the front door. When you're done eating here, maybe get some shopping done. Access is great, right off of 99W either North or South bound. There's a light, so there's no problem turning in or getting out. Parking is plentiful. It's good ramen, so give it a try.

Surprisedly good…read more The original idea was getting a quick bite from H Mart readymade food and ate in the food court. We didn't find anything we liked and ended up sitting in the ramen bar. The lady who took our order was attentive and quick. The kitchen people carefully brought the food, and attitude was polite. I wasn't sure whether hot tea would be an extra cost and got ice water. Portion was normal, tons of vegetables and FOUR slices of chashu meat, which I was already amazed. Soup was thick but not salty at all. Aji tama was perfect. The price is reasonable ($12 per bowl, no matter what favors of soup bases). The front line people always made sure to keep the bar table clean. It really reminds me of family own ramen shops in Japan. Thanks for the delicious food. We want to come back again for different spicy levels of ramen, as well as the appetizers.

Wound up having the Tempura Bento, with a piece of Unagi Nigiri on the side. The portions to price ratio here were surprisingly good and hearty. And our server was amazingly friendly. The other big plus here is the view and ambiance, since you can get a spot by the window to overlook the lake next door. And has a cool bar area if you'd rather order from the chefs or watch something on the screens. So overall, a really good neighborhood sushi and hibachi sort of joint. Definitely a solid bet for some good food.

The sushi here is fantastic and I also love their ramen. Their presentation is great and I really like some of the larger sushi platters that come with fun things like dry ice. I have never had to wait for a table here and I've been here a few times. I have never ever had something bad here and the quality of the fish is great. The only thing I will say is that its a little bit on the pricey side. But all else aside its a great place.

The service is great, the fish is fresh, and the sake selection is impressive for such a small place. Both western and Japanese style seating is available. It's not the fanciest place in town, but it's homey and comfortable. We are gluten sensitive, so haven't had any of the tempura or rolls with tempura, but mostly stick to sushi, sashimi and rolls without tempura. Staff is flexible and accommodating to make substitutions and adjustments when possible.

The one thing I didn't like about my last visit, a little bit of micromanagement coming out of the kitchen. In all fairness, a business owner should be critical of what's being plated and served. It's a reflection of the restaurant and the way they approach food. I do not want my food to be micromanaged, I want it to be finessed. This place is clean and traditional, but the bar is also set a little low on that traditional type of experience. This place is a comfortable eatery and not much more. The cultural takeaway is washed over by Ikea lables left on soy sauce bottles, a lack of attention to detail that easily transfers from the table settings to the delivery of food. It's a local spot but not a great date night spot. I was slightly disappointed with the overall presentation and quality. For instance, what a large plate of sashimi or nigiri is brought to the table, there is no explanation and the patron is left to wonder what some pieces might be. I've always nice when the server points out my favorite pieces and maybe something I didn't know about on my plate. The pieces of fish on the nigiri were massive. Let's remember that quantity over quality is not typically what you're looking for in a dining experience.

There is a wide variety of food, including an impressive selection of sushi. In addition, there is a hibachi bar, as well as multiple soups and white rice.

The best part for me was the fresh sashimi....I got my money's worth in that alone. But also loved the clams, baked garlic oyster, sushi and the grilled chicken thighs. There was hot soup that I didn't take also a freezer of ice cream. Glad that you have so many options.
