    Syracuse has only a few good Chinese restaurants, and they're all authentic. Very little if any good Americanized/ Cantonese Chinese to be had. So, I was very excited to find out about The Rice Box. I ordered 3 lunch combos, all with fried rice and a spring roll. The spring rolls were sooo greasy, they dripped oil and were inedible. The fried rice looked promising because it had the essentials of good fried rice without any yellow coloring. But, it too had too much oil which pooled in the container. The chicken with broccoli was gloppy and the chicken leathery. The beef with broccoli had plenty of tasty pieces of tender beef, but it was swimming in an oily sauce that ruined the broccoli. The broccoli absorbed most of the sauce and was soft, not crisp. The sesame chicken was pretty good and somewhat crispy, but again, the sauce was oily and ruined the broccoli. Overall, just another ordinary Chinese takeout.

    They were prompt and the food was hot. The sesame chicken was cloyingly sweet, the fried rice was dry. Would not go back.

    I have been craving some really, really good authentic Chinese food for a while now, and while I…read morewas in the area, I immediately checked Yelp to see what people were saying about this spot. The reviews looked promising, so I called ahead and placed my order. They told me it would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was perfect. I ordered wonton soup, orange chicken, and house fried rice (my favorite because you get the mix of chicken, shrimp, and sometimes pork). I completely forgot to take photos when I first got my food, so the pictures I posted are actually from the leftovers I brought to work the next day for lunch -- which also shows they give solid portion sizes, pretty typical and generous for a Chinese restaurant. The staff was very kind, and one thing I really appreciated was that they had utensils and sauces set out for customers to grab themselves. I feel like a lot of restaurants can be a little stingy with sauces or charge for every extra, so it was refreshing to be able to take what I needed without having to ask. For that alone, I'd give them five stars for customer service. As for the food, it was good -- not bad at all -- but I personally wanted a little more flavor and seasoning. I would definitely eat here again, but I'm still on the search for my go-to Chinese spot. If anyone has recommendations for a place with bold flavor and great seasoning, let me know!

    My daughter ordered takeout and the food was ready when I arrived. Everything was freshly cooked…read moreand portions were generous. The General Tso's chicken was flavorful but a bit too sweet for my liking. The Triple Szechuan Delight was just okay. Definitely not my favorite, but the House Special Chow Fun was tasty.
