I've been coming here for years. But since I not longer live in riverside and I was in the area I decided to come grab some food at a place I used to frequent!! Walked in and still looked the same. Definitely mom and pop shop Chinese food vibe. Has a few booths and little vending machines!!! I feel like I always see the same lady lolz. But never have I had a bad experience here :)). They also seems so nice and the food is pretty much full!! I love their chow mein. Like not to oily but a bit sweet. I've ate it cold (after have leftovers obviously) and it even taste good while being cold!! Both warm and hot it's good lolz For the proteins my to go is usually the coconut shrimp!!! And I mean I love it. If they run out I'm usually sad but hey it's delicious!! I also really love their teriyaki chicken. It's always so good!!! And I always get this!!! No matter what lolz. I've tried other stuff like the BBQ pork is good as well and I do this if there is no coconut shrimp. The orange chicken is good as well but my nephew always steals it lolz. But anyway this place is usually my to go place in riverside as I've tried many and I've been a customer for years. When I gave my family food even they loved it and made this place there to go Chinese food!!! Go try it out :)) it's worth your buck!! read more

Absolutely amazing, whenever I get my break I come to this restaurant. This is really my to go place, service is amazing the people are outstanding I love how it's family oriented. My favorite is the savory chicken I recommend it is you like a lil spice. read more

This is a little place tucked in the Food 4 Less plaza. So there's plenty of parking but also a busy parking lot. The seating area has only a few booths, so this is definitely not a place for a large crowd. The menu is on the wall behind the counter. The staff is friendly and will answer any questions you may have. The have rice noodles which is why I chose to try this place. The food was good with big portions. And they serve Pepsi products. "I'll be back". read more

An underrated family owned business! I can't tell you how much I love this place! The food is spot on and the people are so so sweet! Please please check out this place! read more

This was an interesting experience. First, the staff is SUPER friendly! It's an average Chinese fast food place but while I was waiting and looking around, I noticed they could use some remodeling and fresh paint. I ordered a combo with chow mein only, egg roles, and beef with broccoli, then a side of cream cheese won tons. The wontons were made fresh and had good flavor but a bit too much onion. They were sweet and had crab but the onions were a bit overwhelming. But they were fresh and stuffed to the brim which I appreciate. The chow mein was the most interesting. They were literally bright orange noodles and were sweet as if they were sweet potato noodles. So weird. Not many veggies in the noodles. I had one big chunk of celery and one big onion slice. The beef with broccoli looked good but it was SOOOOOO salty and really tough to chew. Unfortunately I won't be back but I do appreciate the kindness of the staff. read more

Absolutely love this place! The food is always hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service is wonderful and consistent every single time. Truly my favorite spot for Chinese food! read more

The customer service is so bad, Mindy is very rude and when I wanted to order the egg rolls she said "oh my god anything else before you make me do something else" very rude and unprofessional!! Will never be returning here again usually THIS WOULD BE MY GO TO FOR CHINESE FOOD but not anymore !! Mindy needs to better her customer service & get fired!! read more

Dirty facility and very nasty food. Cream cheese wonton sweet sauce was watered down thin. The other cup of sauce has pepper seeds and other stuff floating in it. Chowmein was nearly tasteless. I'm a fan of quick Chinese but this is by far and away the worst I have encountered. They are cutting corners everywhere they can and you can tell. Avoid. read more

I'm very disappointed coming to this Chinese restaurant. The food is very disgusting. The customer service is the worst Asian lady very rude. The ride is very hard. Now I know what they say. You get what you pay, but that's not always right. I've been to other places. Food is really good and cheap not this place. read more

I loved this spot! Starting from coming and feeling welcomed. To the yummy food! I got the chow mein, fried rice, beef broccoli and shrimp coconut! Everything was delicious and fresh! Everyone was so friendly! My kids loved how they have a little claw machine so they got to play after they ate! I highly recommend this spot :) read more

Rising Savor Staff and food is on another level.Service and prices are amazing.Thanks Rising Savor Alex Mazza

Cheap , Huge portions , Staff is friendly! Food is great and flavorful . It's a hole in the wall Chinese spot don't expect to much . Oh their coconut shrimp is to die for they make it with pineapple something I'm not use to but still BOMB ! read more

There's a stereotype among chinese takeout restaurants, where 3.5 is the sweet spot you should look for to determine if a restaurant is good. If you're looking for tasty Chinese food with cheap yet huge portions, you've stumbled across the right place. Not only does the restaurant pass the 3.5 stars test, the portions they give out are generous and the food always tastes good. Upon trying their bbq pork for the first time, I was amazed at how well it was cooked and kept thinking about how much I paid. The pork had an intense yet satisfying smokey flavor and was super tender. The orange chicken (although in recent years I've gotten tired of the dish itself) was great and way better than anything I've got in the area. I also got the pineapple shrimp, which fulfilled my craving for honey walnut shrimp (which I am a huge fan of). In terms of the restaurant itself, the service is pretty good. The ladies working always stuff the take out boxes and are usually pretty friendly. Rising Savor has to be my top choice for cheap and filling food around the Riverside area. No other Chinese restaurant has portions this large, had their food this good, and has their prices this low. read more

Rising Savor - a take out container of chinese food - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Heard so many good things about this place and was excited to finally go there and try it for the first time! Everything was perfect and what you would expect from a typical Chinese take out. You know the food gonna be good when it looks slightly run down from the outside and especially if there is a line of people. The moment I walked in I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed. All the options looked so good and fresh. I got half lo mein with the mixed vegetables and orange chicken, bbq pork, and pepper chicken. The owner(s) we're also very friendly and kind, felt like I was visiting family. ! Will definitely be coming back here :) read more

Rising Savor - orange chicken !!!! - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Rising Savor is definitely my go-to spot for Chinese food here in Riverside. I'm always helped by the same woman for as long as I can remember. Even with a lunch rush and online orders it seems she's still able to keep up though she's just one person. If you haven't tried it yet, come give it a try. The prices are not bad and the portions are great. read more

Bought orange chicken and steamwhite rice 4:30pm 12/20/2024. Ate half, from 7:00pm until 11:00pm i was violently ill. Always heard from the tax place next door to rising savor that cockaroachs Would scurry into the wall into that restaurant but didn't believe it. Now I do. read more

Only thing I have to say about this place, THEY HAVE THE BEST BBQ PORK I HAVE EVER TASTED!!!! They rock out their chinese food, probably the best I have ever tasted. read more

You get a great portion enough for 2 meals for about $7-8 post tax. They have a great selection of food that take you plenty of time to go through. The workers/owners were very nice and attentive. This all sounds like a win to me :) I got the Combo B with chow fun, jalapeño chicken, and the bbq pork. The jalapeño chicken was nice and hot and spicy, the bbq pork was savory and sweet with bits of the caramelization melting in your mouth, and lastly the chow fun did it's job and swept up all the sauce in the end read more

Rising Savor - Bbq pork, chow fun, jalapeño chicken - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Food was good orange chicken was a bit watery at first but after I left it in the fridge for some reason it tasted way better lol. Chow mean is really good the workers were nice and the portions are so big!!! Two plates could feed a family of 4 for sure and prices is very reasonable in this economy . Really really solid 4 stars read more

As a student going to UCR, it's sometimes hard to find good food for a low price, but that's where Rising Savor comes in! You're able to order a three item combo (three entrées and a base (chow mein, chow fun, rice, or fried rice) for around 8 dollars. For a fast food American-Chinese joint, their meat is juicy and always tastes fresh. (Chow Mein even tastes better than Panda's, in my opinion) Pro tips when visiting: UCR students get a discount, make sure to show your student ID The line can get pretty long, especially during dinner rush, so make sure to either call ahead of time or come in early! read more

Rising Savor - Teriyaki Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Char Siu (BBQ Pork), Chow Mein - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Friendly service for just ok food. All I ever ordered from here was the chow mein because every time I ordered protein (bbq or orange chicken) it was always overcooked hard pork and the chicken didn't have enough meat to it, just was orange batter, anyway they do have delicious chow mein but went in today and will be my last, they raised the price from 5.59 to 6.69! I get it, everyone is feeling it but a whole dollar on noodles??! I wouldn't know the price increase for other items but I'd imagine it's more since most items are priced higher than the chow mein. Anyway, that's that, Good Bye Rising Savor! read more

Rising Savor - Price Increase - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Last night I didn't feel like cooking and decided to order from here. I wanted to help out a local restaurant instead of eating panda. That was a bad decision because today my wife and I woke up food poisoned. Don't know what it was but we both got the same symptoms right away after dinner. I don't like posting bad reviews but we have to be careful with what we eat. Never again do I eat out Chinese foood again. read more

Gonna be honest. Not great. Not terrible. Cheap american-chinese food at 'the right' price. It's exactly what you expect. On one occasion - of many - I think they could have done a better job washing the vegetables and wound up with some 'grit' in the food in that I think should not have been there. Service is fine. Ambience is on par with the price. read more

When I had taken this picture I had already eaten probably half of what was originally in the box. It was so yummy for pretty cheap. The cashier was extremely nice and friendly as well. :) Also the egg rolls are to die for. read more

Rising Savor - fried rice, chow mein, and orange chicken - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

I got charged 10.77 for so little. In these places there is a certain expectation and when I told them the portion was small their answer was.. everything is expensive now. In that case increase the prices.. I got close to no shrimp and I had to tell them to put extra chow mean. This was not okay. read more

Rising Savor - a plate of noodles and meat with chopsticks - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Well, this one's a mixed bag. I wanted cheap, quick, somewhat not terrible Chinese food and I got it! I wasn't expecting much, I kept my standards fairly low, and I met my expectations. Oddly, this is the highest rated Chinese (or at least, America's idea of it) fast-food place in my area, and we figured we'd give it a try. Full disclosure: I went ahead and read the inspection rating before I went here, which isn't unlike me, so I kinda knew what to expect. The place is dingy, old and run down, but it's pretty much exactly what I thought it looked like. There was a long line at the counter, so we settled in and waited patiently. It's important to note that I made a friend named "Frank" who happened to be a baby German cockroach crawling up the wall near the trashcan by the door. When he left, I was a little bit sad. Life's short, Frank, best live while you can! It might have been that they could have sprayed him with the unlabeled bottle of soapy cleaner sitting next to the drink fountain on the counter behind the food case (this is a no-no they've been called on before) and killed him, but they didn't. But then, I've seen worse (much worse)... Now, why did I give this place 2-stars instead of -1? First off, negative stars aren't a thing. Secondly, the sheer amount of food you're given, and the price you're charged, is insane. They have trouble closing the box. If you're a desperate, starving college student, this will be your heaven. Then, the food is pretty edible-- not dried out, disgusting, or stale, and tastes like, well, Chinese fast food, and not some distant relative of it. Though, I wasn't a huge fan of their Cream Cheese Wontons, which had filling filled with undissolved sugar and cheap imitation crab that was a bit too fishy. But I didn't die. Let's be honest: no one expects a 5-star rating on Yelp, or the city inspectors, from many Chinese fast-food places in Riverside... Don't go here with high expectations, or you'll be extremely disappointed. Believe the health ratings-- they're pretty accurate. Be prepared to wait. But if you're looking for ridiculously large portions (a Combo B would probably feed around 3-4 average eaters) for very reasonable prices, and Americanized Chinese fast-food, then you'll enjoy this place! We won't abandon it, though, we'll keep it in mind still for our desperate nights (very desperate nights)... read more

I wasn't expecting to like their food so much. Most Chinese fast food is so greasy and leaves a gross feeling after eating. Rising Savor doesn't drown their food in soy sauce and oil, and their flavors were nice and familiar. The staff are kind and friendly, which is a major plus! read more

Great food best I have had in a while very nice people very generous serving well over enough to have left overs after

Food was amazing! The service was even amazing! Would eat here every single day if I could! Took me back to the first time I had Chinese food with my husband! Just amazing read more

I forgot my wallet and had to drive home to get it. Sadly, I should have stayed home- 'cheating' on my neighborhood Chinese take-out wasn't worth the disappointing experience here. I had heard about this place and drove by a number of times but burn me once, buh bye! The Combo C with three items seemed like a good way to try stuff. I liked that they had Chao Fun as an option over Chow Mein and the fried rice looked great too. The sample of Savor Chicken was actually good, but the abysmal 0:3 combination punch ensured this is.... My first and last visit. Why? The Orange Chicken was doughy and sparse, dry and sugary without any substinance or flavor (strike one). Then, the Broccoli Beef failed twice over because the beef was thin and melted away in the mix, and the broccoli was soggy (enough for two more strikes). Finally, the BBQ Pork was fatty and while not overly salty, I couldn't eat half of it (as shown in the second pic). Four strikes? Pretty much. I'll stay in the hood and support the nice family who operate Fresh Wok. read more

Rising Savor - Combo C, picked three items. $7.99 - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

See all

If you manage your expectations, you will be satisfied. It's a fast food Chinese place, where's the food has been sitting awhile. But that's why it's fast. Egg foo Yong is made fresh though. They did not have the sauce, but gave me other sauces. The egg foo Yong was good. So I think if you order the entree, it will taste better. I had double chow Meir and walnut shrimp. Both were okay, but only because I ordered the combo plate, where they had been sitting for a while. Service was friendly. 3.5 rounded up. read more

This spot is an underrated find! We came in on a Sunday afternoon and although there was a line, it moved quickly. This place has got so much bang for the buck I'm actually questioning how they make any money. For $8ish, I got a heaping box of food (around 2/3 meals). The food was yummy for a takeout style restaurant like this and more authentic than Panda Express. If you can handle the spice, I liked the spicy chicken a lot. The shrimp and pineapple dish was also pretty good. But in the end of the day, the reason for this 5 star review is that the service here is SO kind. The ladies behind the counter provided 5 star service. I felt like I was being served food by family. So underrated!! I'll be back. read more

Portions are CRAZY BIG!!! Can feed an entire village!! Food (3 stars): I wouldn't say that the taste is the best because it is on the greasier side. Flavor is decent, nothing special. They do put soooo much into 1 To-go box that they have to tape it. Once you open it, it makes the shape of the top part of the box. Also, everything spills out haha. PLUS, they have to tape it which is pretty funny. The 2 entree ended up being 2 meals for me. This place is more quantity over quality! Since it's greasy, you can only go to this place every once in a while. Service (4 stars): Workers are very adorable and smiley. UCR students get discounts!** read more

Rising Savor - It's overflowing!! (Chow Mein w/ Savory Chicken and Jalapeño Chicken) - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

3.5 stars! Rising Savor is the generous, kind cousin of Panda Express. The kind of relative that pushes you to eat more and more, and will give you large portions of food for a very reasonable price. You can get the 3 item combo which comes with steamed rice, chow mein or fried rice for only approx. $7.50. And trust me - it's a meal enough for 2 or even 3 people; which means leftovers galore! The food is on the greasy side though - be warned, it's even greasier than Panda Express. The savory chicken is the best item here. Flavorful, and much better than its alternative, the orange chicken (never was a fan of orange chicken). Beef and broccoli is okay, but broccoli was a bit too soggy. Jalapeno chicken is a no, too much pepper in the dish. The chow mein left something to be desired - stick to the steamed white rice. Overall, Rising Savor is a solid spot for fast Chinese food. Don't expect authentic or else you'll be disappointed, but if you want something similar to Panda + larger portions, this is it! read more

Rising Savor - So much food... - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

I've never done this before, sincerely, this was bad food. Just calories. I can understand a low point in a bad food economy, but this was watered down sauces, dry shrimp, and old chicken. read more

The food is very good. The service is excellent. It is a place to grab good food and go. The ambiance is not the greatest.

Low quality, guilt-filled, but very rich tasting Chinese takeout. This place is a Panda Express without the desire to consider quality because the food on the basis of "what you see is what you get". Its dirty and I've found hair in my food before which is why I'm not going to be coming back anytime soon. If you're looking at the quantity this place is really a deal. They give you so much food that they have to tape the takeout box shut. Its most certainly the best Chinese takeout for your dollar and you can even get a 10% discount if you're a UCR student. The Panda express on the UCR campus is overpriced and the Hong Express on University is the only possible competitor in terms of quantity. However, the quality is different and I feel like the mentality of Rising Savor is to produce as much food at the cheapest price so then they can give the most to their customers. read more
