Rice Bird

They can't be serious. The food we had here was clearly frozen, ready-to-cook meals. This is not a proper restaurant, which is why hardly anybody comes in here.I do not recommend! Go to another dining establishment and eat real food!

I ordered a clay pot and was a little disappointed - the toppings were a little haphazard, and the rice was quite salty and not even slightly crispy.Might have just been a bad order judging by all the other reviews here, but I would not be looking to return.

Got takeout from here and thought the food was only ok. I got a chicken curry claypot rice and Taiwanese braised pork rice. The one really cool thing is that even for takeout you get the actual claypot, which is awesome as it keeps the food super hot. Unfortunately, I didn't find the food particularly good. The chicken curry had way too much rice and not enough toppings, and the braised pork rice's flavor didn't quite tastes right.

My fiancé heard of this spot, and we decided to try it out for the clay pot. In addition to trying the signature claypot, we also got the Taiwanese crispy salted chicken and the Liu Zhou Luosi rice noodle. All in all, the food was really good and filling. I especially enjoyed the crispy chicken - very crunchy and flavorful. The restaurant itself is fairly small, with only a few staff members around when we stopped by. But the decor was nice, and there is a good amount of seating. The ordering process was also very efficient, mostly handled on tablets and via QR codes. This spot is definitely a nice, casual Cantonese restaurant, and would recommend that folks stop by to try it out.

always looking for new places to try post-sunday service and was happy to visit @rice_bird_nyc a few months ago. i decided to try the ($23.99) which includes eel, beef, chicken, shrimp, and salmon (as well as broccoli, tofu, scallions, ginger, and marinated egg). i liked the variety of proteins in the dish, and the sauce that they gave added even more flavor. the price is pretty steep compared to my other go-to claypot rice place, but i am thankful for the additional option. service was a little slow on the day we went in but we weren't in a rush so it wasn't a big deal. friends ordered the rice balls, which were fun to try as well.

Solid lunch spot in the East village!!! Would definitely come back again. Interior is very clean and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive.I got the original clay pot and got to choose 2 different proteins - I chose chicken and salmon and both were delicious. Comes with nice and buttery rice underneath.

I saw the other reviews about good service and delicious food and was excited to try this place out. here's my experience:I walk in to an empty and dead silent restaurant. I said hello to the two men sitting in the back, one younger and one older. I wasn't greeted, and they were staring at me like they were genuinely mad at me.I told them I had an order to pick up. the younger one looks at my phone, looks at the old guy, grabs the food. he hands it off to me and sits back down. so strange! I ordered off of TooGoodToGo, and the food they decided to give me was.. not great. i'm not sure what either of the soups are but they both smell sour. the noodles are gummy, and the protein (chicken? pork? i don't know) is like leather. and there's also tater tots? which are shockingly the only edible part of my grab bag.

Very good clay pot slightly on the higher price. We enjoyed their signature clay pot. You can choose 2 proteins and you can add more for added cost.

soooo delicious!! get the salted chicken and shrimp shumai. the owner is so sweet and friendly u should definitely come here

Excellent spot to eat something great. Loved the selection of food choices and ambience. Amazing and quick service. Highly recommend!
