Fried diced chicken with dried pepper chongqing style
Jessica R.

First off the staff was very nice and welcoming. I really appreciated them for giving recommendations and joking with us. The service was great. The food was delicious. Love that we could share our food easily with the lazy Susan on the table. Great place for groups. My husband and I love authentic Chinese food. We should have asked for it to be spicier but the taste was on point. We will be back when we visit the area and definitely recommend!!

Authentic Chinese restaurant specializing in Szechuan cuisine. It is absolutely one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Charlotte area. Keep in mind that most Chinese restaurants do NOT serve authentic Chinese food. The service has been great every time I have been. They have a really nice ambiance with a blossoming tree in the middle of the dining room.

I had a great dinner at Rice Blossom yesterday (formerly Taste of Shu) in Quail Corners Shopping Center off of Park Rd. Just wanted to share how delicious the food was in case you haven't been in awhile!!! Overall it was so good!! The portions are huge (hence the pricing). Each entree could've fed at least 2 people. Buttt i love trying a bunch of dishes so we ordered a lot hehe. Overall: 4.8/5 Food: 4.8/5 - We got the orange chicken with fried rice. The orange chicken was perfectly crispy and the fried rice was bomb with perfect umami flavor. We also got the dry sauteed green beans and mao's braised pork belly. The green beans were very similar to din tai fung's if you've had them before. Sauteed with garlic and it was prob my fav dish. The pork belly was also soooo good. On the fattier side but it melted in your mouth... it came with white rice and also clear thin noodles in the dish too. Service: 4.8/5 - super nice servers that will help you figure out what you want to eat. There may be a slight language barrier (broken english), you will still be able to understand everyone. I hold immigrant service folk close to my heart, they're just trying their best and trying to make a living for their families! Such sweet people. Vibe: 4.5/5 - nicer than a hole in the wall chinese place. Very clean and modern. Nothing super special but great place to grab a bite or to take your family here. Other: As of july 2023, there was no wait for a table and you should be fine walking in. Free surface lot parking. Quail hollow shopping center.

Fried Diced Chicken with Dried Pepper Chongqing Style

Visited Riceblossom this afternoon and had this entreé. It was okay. The chicken was fully cooked. The spices were a bit unusual for me. The service was good and ambiance was okay.

We have been going to this place for years and so happy to have this gem (only one of its kind left in Charlotte) that serves authentic Chinese. Our absolute favorite here is the shredded pork with bamboo shoots and the three pepper lamb. Kids love the dumplings and the Dan Dan noodles. Service is always friendly and food arrives in a reasonable time. The ambiance inside is very warm and inviting. I absolutely love the cherry blossom tree in the middle of the restaurant. They have a bar with a decent selection of wines and beers.

Spicy Fish Fillet in Flaming Pan $19.99 and spring rolls
Jenita M.

This place looks so cute with the tree and so I finally tried it. I ordered something different and tried an Authentic fish dish. Pretty presentation. The taste of the fish was excellent. Too much spice in the rest of the dish. I thought the Lotus root was some a specially cut pineapple/radish/bamboo. I later caught it in G-mart and educated myself. There also was an unknown type of veggie in there which may have been a cabbage stalk. Spring rolls met expectations but nothing special. Good quality chopsticks. Service was fine. I picked up my online order 5 mins early. I won't order this again so I'm just leaving my rating at 4 stars until I return to try something else.

Spicy Fish Fillet in Flaming Pan was perfect!
B Abigail T.

Loved the service, the atmosphere and the food was so good! It's hard to find good Sichuan, authentic and on point--- they have it!

Iman D.

A true gem ! The food tasted so fresh and the service is super quick! If you are looking for amazing serving sizes and authentic food then give Rice Blossom a try! They will not disappoint

Is this the same management as prior restaurant, Taste of Shu- or just a name change?

Seems to be a simple name change. The menu says Shu

An all time favorite place of mine that I've been a fan of since their first location! So happy to…read moresee how they've grown and created a beautiful space and resturant with their beautiful decoration, ambiance, and excellent service from the employees. Always my favorite place to go when I start to miss home and need some nostalgia and that home cooked meal feeling. My other favorite (not pictured) includes: Mango or watermelon jasmine tea, beef stew with rice, dan dan noodles, tornado potato, honestly any of the appetizer/street foods, home-made soy milk. Did I mention I loved this place?

After many years, I revisited this place for lunch at its new South Boulevard location…read more.. The new place was casual, yet chic and modern...and runs on this touch screen ordering process. I actually loved the bright, comfy vibe of the place. Thought it could use a bit louder music to fill the space. I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Rainbow Dumplings and this Mango Jasmine Tea drink...and they were all pretty good. Still, I was surprised how my bill totaled about 35 bucks. Normally, I'm not too surprised by the pricing (even for lunch), but it felt a bit high...given that everything was served on paper and plastic wares. I did like how they have these DIY take-home plastic wares accessible and ready to go...so some points for that! Overall, it's just a casual eatery...not a full scale restaurant. I prefer full scale service, complete with nicely plated presentations, but this type of DIY eatery is just something that's becoming more common.

Hot day. Costco run complete. Charlotte traffic testing everyone's patience. That meant one thing:…read morecomfort food stop at Taipei Express. It was pushing 97 degrees outside, and after a long afternoon of computer work and errands, I finally stopped in for the crispy scallion chicken and pan-fried dumplings. Huge portions. Fair prices. Friendly people. Consistently solid food every single time. The best part today honestly might have been the air conditioning. They've got a cool, comfortable space to wait while your order is prepared, which felt amazing after baking outside all day. I forgot to take food photos because I was hungry and ready to get home, but trust me, they pack these takeout containers like a game of Jenga. Nothing spills. Nothing shifts. Everything is packed tight and thoughtfully. Only tiny downside: the dumpling sauce goes into the same container as the hot dumplings, so by the time I got home, it had softened the bottom a bit. Still, the dumpling wrappers are thick and crispy enough to survive the trip. Into the air fryer later they go. One warning: the parking lot can be chaotic since it sits right off busy Providence Road. Just be patient. Cars are constantly pulling in, backing out, blocking entrances, and today people were absolutely treating red lights like suggestions. Saw it multiple times, including a bus cutting across traffic when I had the right-of-way. Charlotte drivers... please relax a little. That said, the food made the trip worth it. Taipei Express is one of those dependable local spots that always comes through when you need a solid meal without spending a fortune. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.

Searching for Chinese in Charlotte, I found that this place had an intriguing menu. They are retro…read morein the sense that there is no online ordering, so I called in. It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.

I've been meaning to check out this restaurant for a LONG time...but wasn't able to for one reason…read moreor another. Primarily, because I usually crave Chinese for lunch, and they're not open for lunch. Well, I was finally able to stop in for a super-early dinner recently...and I was pleasantly surprised. The place itself isn't typical of most Chinese restaurants in that it has more of a quaint, classic American vibe. There are even some modern touches, like light fixtures on bar chairs! Also, their overhead music was American. The menu wasn't too extensive, but I noticed that their format somewhat mirrored that of Taipei South...with their choose the meats and rice combos. I decided to try their Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp, with White Rice. Also ordered their Kung Pao Spicy Edamame and Won Ton Soup. I didn't love the soup...but it's my bad in that I was thinking Sweet 'n Sour Soup when I ordered Won Ton. The Spicy Edamame was great...just the way I like it...and I really loved the main dish, Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp. It was perfectly spicy and savory...and best of all, so light in flavor! Not that thick, glutinous taste you get from cheap Chinese foods. I could be wrong, but this may be Taiwanese food? Whatever the case, it was very good Chinese food!! Service was really good...very fast, friendly and attentive. Am so glad I was finally able to check out this place (think it's been around awhile?). I only wish they were open for lunch so I could visit more often.
