Rice King

Family owned restaurant with super friendly vibes. The food was super delicious! Our waiter was incredibly friendly, helpful, and handsome.

I stopped by here this past Saturday with my wife and twins for dinner. My wife and I discovered rice king at the start of the pandemic whenever I was unable to get my monthly Chinese fix in Hartford. What made me order from here was actually their "no MSG" slogan on the menu. The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall near the intersection of backcock and Thompson in the north hills. The shop itself is small and may have had seating but since the pandemic only has a partition inside where you pick up your food. Out of the 50-100 times I have been here (that's not an exaggeration) my food has been ready every time with only 1 exception and I have only had problems with my order once as well.For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the general tsaos combination platter while my wife went with the chicken and broccoli and we also ordered a large wonton soup. My normal order here is the Szechuan chicken but by this point I have ordered most of the menu from the garlic chicken to the happy family and even the mapo tofu. It's all very American Chinese food which is what I expected and good if thats what you like. On this past time I really enjoyed my general Tsaos chicken as it had a thin breading on the outside and then the sauce itself was both spicy and sweet. My wife and I also love their egg rolls here and order one every time we come. While they can be greasy at times, the outside is always super crispy while the inside is hot and flavorful.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As a matter of a fact I have again and again and Rice King is my top American Chinese food restaurant to go to in the North Hills.

Food was ok. Nothing special for the cost of take out. But there is probably not many exceptional Asian restaurants in Pittsburgh.

We used to go here regularly but I think they switched ownership and it's been okay ever since so we have branched out to try other restaurants.

I've eaten at this place numerous times. Don't get me wrong the food always tastes good but how it's prepared is just ridiculous! I got steamed dumplings and I swear it was like I ate a dough ball with little meat. I had to throw most of them away.I got shrimp with snow peas and barely had any shrimp but a crap ton of chess nuts which I'm not a big fan of. Then every time I order a shrimp roll the proportion of the rooms are inconsistent. Last one I ordered was small other times they were big. Also I go an order of Crispy shrimp which the shrimp were coated with a ton a dough again.

This is some of the best Chinese food in the area. I come here eve week and always have excellent service at a reas price i definitely recommend trying the sesame chicken if you ever get the chance.

Good food, great service.If being very busy is any sing, that is what they are.I would recommend to all.

Food was made fast and was some of the best Chinese Iv had outside of the city! I will be back!

It was the worst I ever had. I ordered General Tso chicken, fried rice and an egg roll (lunch). Listed on menu for $8.50. When I opened it at home...6 pieces of chicked, STEAMED rice and 2 broccoli florets. The chicken was stringy and I swear had feathers in the coating, the broccoli was overcooked and also stringy. I ended up throwing it away. Oh, when I looked at the receipt I was charged $10.08. Very disappointed and a bit angry. Not good!

My family stopped going to Rice King a while ago . The food had really gone down hill. We heard that it had changed hands. Read the reviews and decided to try it again. Big mistake! No one in house liked the food. You could see the grease on the egg rolls. The food didn't even look appetizing. We will not go back
