To be sure, I am referencing the New Rice Bowl and Boba at 7416 Fair Oaks Blvd, Sacramento.I have mixed feelings on my second visit. My first visit I loved the Honey Walnut Shrimp and BBQ Pork Rice combo and wish I had ordered more, but felt the Kung Pao Chicken, Fried Cheese Wonton, and BBQ Pork Bun were ok but not good enough to reorder. So today I went back to reorder the same Honey Walnut Shrimp combination and it as though they lost their chef ... not even sure what this is! The shrimp was barely browned, mushy, and absolutely buried in cream sauce. It was ok to eat ... nothing upsetting ... and you could somewhat taste the original recipe, but I won't be back. In a pinch, it isn't totally bad after reheating, just not as good as average Chinese, and there was something funky about the rice this time ... I will likely throw most of it out. Now I usually like my Honey Walnut Shrimp crispy with honey, not mushy in cream sauce, but last time the cream sauce was good and not overkill, while this time the chicken batter seemed underdone and honey was barely recognizable under so much cream sauce. I struggled between a 3 and 4 star rating because of my first visit. I don't want to shoot them down entirely, but it needs serious work.

I was kind of torn between giving "New Rice Bowl Express" a generous 4-star rating. But after assessing everything during my visit (experience, prices, and most importantly the food), I settled on giving them an average 3-star rating. Located directly where Fair Oaks Blvd. and Manzanita Ave. intersect in the heart of Carmichael, this small business has been in operation dating back to 2009. I came here during the evening of Thursday 12/15/2022 at around 5:00pm. As soon as you enter, this place ONLY offers pick-up/to-go orders. They once did have an indoor dining option but ever since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, many restaurants have permanently abandoned eating inside. No big deal since this place is only about a 4-mile/10 minute drive to my house. I ordered a fairly significant amount of food since I would be sharing this with 4 other family members.All six (6) of my orders consisted of "Orange Chicken", "Teriyaki Chicken", "Beef Broccoli", "Mongolian Beef", and sides of "Chow Mein" and "Fried Cream Cheese Wontons". Prices here (at least for Chinese food) are not cheap with just the main dishes in the $15 price range while the Chow Mein was also $15 and the wontons at $9. Total price for everything was close to $100 and that was without drinks. All of our orders took around 20 minutes. Service here was just average while the lady at the counter wasn't quite a friendly gal.After making the short drive home, there was a fairly significant amount of food; I will give this place credit for that. But taste-wise, it was overly salty and more than likely loaded with MSG. Don't get me wrong, I love good, flavored Chinese food but I dread how much sodium is in these dishes. With that said and done, everything filled me up and then some. But when you're spending close to $100 bucks, there are way better and more affordable, healthier options. However, I may have to make a future visit to this place; especially with their wide variety of sushi rolls and Boba drinks. And if you choose not to drive to this place, they do offer delivery through the DoorDash app. All in all, "New Rice Bowl Express" is okay but not off the wall amazing. My rating, an average three stars.

This review is for the "Quickly" (boba service) ONLY and not the food as I have not tried their food yet. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba. A regular size is $4.45 + $0.50 for the honey boba. The upcharge is $0.99 to make the drink large. I typically get the Agar/Crystal boba but they charged about a dollar for it. Boba prices are going up but I'm glad this place keeps their boba reasonably priced. I mean, where can u find boba for under $6 nowadays?!?! So, overall great boba taste, and the milk tea jasmine flavor was really good. Minus one star for the cleanliness of the place; it was already a small restaurant but it was packed with a bunch of boxes on the one side of the wall. It just didn't look professional and clean. It also had that oily smell right when u enter and when u leave. So hopefully they clean up and make the place more presentable as a restaurant. But 4 stars for the boba!!

Do not come here. I haven't thrown up in over 10 years until now after having this food. I am not someone who gets sick from food easily and this messed me up bad.
