I have visited China several times and have eaten a lot of Chinese food. Many of my Chinese acquaintances confessed to me that they actually enjoy eating Chinese food in the US more than what they get there. Some flavors there can be pretty extreme. I found a restaurant that serves the kind of food that is welcomed by everyone. Not too extreme but still very authentic. It's the Rice Xpress in Princeton. Four of us ate there recently. We ordered four dishes. King Pao chicken. Mooshu shrimp. Mixed vegetables. Fried catfish. Everything was delicious. The place is clean, casual and the service friendly. You aren't paying for fancy interior decor. Prices are reasonable. My highest recommendation is not the number of stars but whether I will return for another meal. I definitely will. I recommend you try it. read more

Food is horrible. Didn't taste good, looks disgusting and is definitely not worth the money.

Quick service, amazing food!! Everything is so fresh and so well packed! The fork is even packaged in a neat plastic bag with sauce and napkin inside. Clean inside and kind staff. The orange chicken is amazing. I'm weird about my chicken and these are small bite sized pieces perfectly cooked and tender read more

These guys are top notch!! They get the delicious food ready immediately. The place is clean and well cared for. We eat early lunch bc of our schedule. When we come at 1030, we are out the door by 1045, holding delicious fried rice, egg rolls, pad Thai...you name it!! read more

10 out of 10 all across the board amazing amazing service tastes good looks good and great portions

Love the food and the service! The owners are great and super friendly. I'd recommend to anyone 100%!!

We're new to Princeton. Food tastes good, HOWEVER they are slow!!! EVERY SINGLE TIME we order it takes an hour to get our food. When I call its always driver left 10mins ago (we live 7mins away)! i've even asked if we can come pick up the order instead and they always say 10 mins driver on the way, today will be our last time ordering here! We have them 3x to get it right. read more

This experience was just "okay". It wasn't knockout of the park by any means. Wouldn't return.

friendly and patient owners! they have very good prices for the amount of food that you get and even have specials coupons through the mail. we order from them at least once a month. interior is clean and pretty. they are our new go-to Chinese takeout in Princeton! read more

We were hoping this would be a good family-run Chinese place, but it turned out to be flavorless and expensive. We'll keep looking.

I'm new to Texas and what a sad disgusting way to be greeted by. As soon as I stepped into the restaurant the old yuk at the counter gave me the most distasteful look. ( which I put up with because I was really craving Chinese) however this man had no patience whatsoever. I asked for help on how to order and he kept getting frustrated with me and rolling his eyes. (Mind you I come from California so the serving style is a bit different). I ended up not ordering because his character made me upset. I don't know if this is the manager or just a sad worker but what a way to scare off costumers. I can see why this place had no people and a handful of bad reviews. I love supporting small businesses and truthfully I never leave bad reviews- however I would not recommend coming back to this place. Dirty having ah having ah fingernails read more

Rice Xpress - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, Texas

Placed an online order for lunch and received my delivery in 15 min or just less. The beef and broccoli was awesome. There were a couple of pieces of gristle, but it didn't take from the experience. I had plenty for leftovers. read more

We are new to this town. It is a nice surprise to find a great place for Chinese food. Among several other Chinese restaurants in town, this one is our favorite. The food is great and price is very reasonable! read more

Order wasn't right, wasn't ready when we arrived even though the staff was just sitting around, and over priced

Love this place! Our takeout Chinese go to. The fried rice is superb and just the way I like it. (I get no peas) They always get the order right whether its to go or sitting in their quaint nice clean eating area. Their garlic dishes are great. Lots of meat! And the Mongolian Beef has a little extra spice! read more

Always great food and service! Always satisfying the craving. The only place I go to and always recommend when asked

The last time we had Rice Express, I ended up with food poisoning. We won't be back.

This has quickly become our favorite Asian food place here in town. My only recommendation for them is to cut back on the number of onions they put in the Mongolian beef dish. We have had no issues with food quality or service quality every time we've ordered through the drive-thru. read more

Food was ok Nothing but fried Not too much healthy options Stingy on the protein Staff was friendly read more

Rice Xpress - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, Texas

They took my order for delivery at 9pm. 10:50pm still never received my order after I paid with my credit card.

Not sure why this place has 4 stars. Stopped by about an hour ago to pick up some lunch. The picture attached is supposed to be an orange chicken, and it tasted stale and rock hard I'm guessing fried in some type of old oil. The second dish was schichuan chicken . There was almost no chicken and the veggies were probably old or bad quality. I would like the owner to reach out to me and provide refund since this cant be called food.... There is a place in Mckinney called China Pot , its about the same price but the quality is 100x this place. read more

Rice Xpress - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, Texas

The orange chicken was actually really good . I liked the light batter they fry it in . Not overwhelming. It had a little kick which was great to me . The rice tasted like absolutely nothing . I think it's just brown rice they call fried rice . Seems like there was no effort put into it . I asked if I could have egg added to it and they declined me .. oh well , but it was good ! Just not the rice read more

Rice Xpress - Orange chicken and " fried rice " - Chinese Near Me - Princeton, Texas

I am absolutely floored by the good reviews. Gotta be paid reviews. Have you guys any taste buds or standards? The orange chicken is 2 stars edible. Everything was kind of luke warm which is surprising because they delivered SUPER FAST, which makes me think everything must be sitting around on a warming table and they're just scoping it into containers, maybe? The real stunner is the kung pao chicken. Atrocious!! I have never been so insulted by food in my entire life! It's a bowl of carrots and celery with about half an ounce of shredded chicken mixed in and all coated in a mostly dull and flavorless, watery sauce. 0 flavor. Eggrolls were soggy and the inside was mushy. Also no flavor. Never again. read more

Omg I've never ate a more disgusting place as this. I should have taken a picture of my plate. It looked as disgusting as it tasted.

I've eaten enough times here to know food is garbage. But if there's nothing else around, and this is your only chance, it won't kill you.

Great food and great value. They can definitely work on cleaning their bathrooms though...

Food was very delicious! The sesame chicken was so good! My husband said the green pepper beef was amazing! Glad we have a yummy Chinese place in Princeton! read more

Me and my fam ordered Rice Xpress and I have never tasted Chinese food this good. The food was outstanding. It has not even ten minutes since my mom ordered the food when the food came to the house. I highly recommend this restaurant for delivery. read more

It's ok. Not the best but not the worst. It's worth eating however. Size is good but tends to forget condiments even when asked. Don't forget to tip or they will remind you. We always tip but forgot the one time and the driver came back to the door! my husband thought I gave cash and I thought he wrote on the ticket! read more

Awful service. Ordered before on special occasion and food was two hours late. I asked for money back and they still delivered and charged. I ha e called and been hung up on with no answer and left on hold for 15 minutes on occasions. If you are busy tell me so I do come back and don't right negative reviews. read more

As always fresh, fast and delicious! This place never disappoints. If you need a family meal with healthy options this is a win! read more
