Rice Garden

Overall very good service, this lady was extremely nice to my family and I. Food was spectacular and had plenty of options even if you're a little picky! They also have a very nice playlist going in the background of acoustic music by modern artists. Overall a very fun and worthwhile experience!

I've ordered twice from them now and have mixed reviews. The first time it was just for me and I ordered the honey seared chicken, white rice, and egg drop soup. The chicken was great and I loved the sauce. The soup was really thick, an unusually yellow color, and had zero taste. So won't be getting that again. Tonight we ordered for the entire family (2 adults and 2 teens). Got the honey seared chicken again and paid extra for adding broccoli and carrots. Won't be doing that again because you now get less chicken to fit in the container but you pay more. Also got the sesame chicken which was very tasty. The broccoli beef was not liked by anyone. Husband said his meal of some chicken with garlic sauce was just ok. We also got fried dumplings which my youngest was excited about but said they needed to include more sauce for the amount of dumplings. But the worst part was the almost $5 slice of "Japanese cheesecake". This thing was tiny. Like maybe an inch wide at the widest part. My husband laughed it was so small. Ate it in 2 bites small. Think a slice you would give to a very, very young child. He said it tasted like normal cheesecake and definitely not worth the price. The delivery is very quickly and they give great customer service. Our meal was correct and had good temp. But for over $70 plus tip, this was too expensive to not have amazing food. Will I get it again? Possibly. But I'm going to try some other places first.

Great food! Delivery was very fast! Will definitely be ordering here again - and often! YUMM! (Took pictures after everyone ate. It was so good I decided late to post a review.)

I am ever in search of Asian or "Chinese" restaurants and after much searching and many disappointments, I have finally found THE ONE.The way this restaurant blanches & finishes their chicken is slightly different than all other places around here. Most of their dishes have something "special ". The same goes for their egg drop soup. It is simple and equal to THE BEST I have ever tasted. Simply magical! ! !

Happy to have a Chinese spot in the McKinney area. The service was pretty quick and I think the portions are really filling.The fries chicken was good, the general tsos was really good but the shrimp was pretty ok. Also the rice wasn't the best. All in all I would come back bc of convenience! It's not too bad

When you take this for what it is--a neighborhood Chinese place aimed mostly at take out--they earn all 5 stars. The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. Portions are generous and also reasonably priced. The staff and owners are so gracious every time we go in. Our favorites: the hot and sour soup is some of the best I've had with huge slices of fresh vegetables. The orange chicken is actually crispy, which very few take out places get right. Crab rangoons are great. We're so happy to have them in our neighborhood!

Return or not return? Return.As a general observation, one of the most disappointing aspects of being in North Texas is the absence of any good Chinese food/restaurants. Likely spoiled after having lived in Vancouver, Toronto, and San Francisco.As for Rice Garden, drove by and decided to try hoping once again for almost anything I can be loyal to. This was clearly Americanized Chinese food and worth a try via takeout. Ratings below are in context of what's in North Texas.Prices: Very reasonable and doesn't feel like the many other restaurants who have taken inflation to a new level.Portions: Texas size and should have no complaints.Appearance: CleanStaff/service: No idea as was takeout, but food was packed ready to go within 20 mins of a web order.Food: Slightly bland which I welcomed bc I find most restaurants over oil or over salt their food. Would suggest some modest modifications to improve reception while still keeping food "Americanized" and keeping costs down.Hot & Sour Soup: Needs more black vinegar, as was imbalanced. It was also missing more of the usual traditional things like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, strips of pork etc but with all of this no way one can sell for $5.99. Nonetheless, the vinegar alone would have brought it home.Sesame Chicken: Ordered white meat (and liked that they had that option with no up charge). Decent flavor, but slightly mushy hence may order extra crispy next time.Vegetable Hot Pot: It was just ok, very non-descript. In isolation reasonably priced, but compared to pricing of other items within the restaurant, it shouldn't be among the more expensive entrees.Kung Pao Shrimp: Ok, non descript, but edible and may/not order again. Also tasted (and looked) too similar to vegetable hot pot.Singapore Vermicelli: Decent, but needed slightly more curry flavor as was slightly on blander side. A small amount of BBQ pork strips (i.e., char siu) to balance out the chicken would have been nice. Will order again.Want to see them do well, and will do what I can to support them.

Love the food and service. Their sweet and sour chicken and hunan dish. Yum. Wish the place was bigger. Usually do takeout

11/17/23- Thursday We ordered the Shrimp Fried Rice with no onions. Tasted awesome!!!

Let's start with the good! Quick service and clean casual ambiance. Presentation of food decent. Unfortunately, the food fell short. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and Veggie egg roll. A standard dish which isn't too hard to mess up. Unfortunately, it was undercooked including my chicken. The chicken was rubbery. The vegetables were hard as a rock. Also, the sauce had a strange aftertaste. Nah. It's a pass. I'm so disappointed in the Chinese food here in Texas.
