Rice & Roll’d

After opening two businesses, birthing a child and having one on the way, I don't remember the last time I had the time or energy to write a yelp review but I had to give recognition when it's so well deserved! Our group of 18 walked in earlier tonight and, of course, waited a bit for a table and admittedly, were a bit anxious with our 9 hungry kids. On top of that, coming from Great Wolf Lodge, we consumed nothing but nachos and burgers all day. Also, being Vietnamese, we've had a lot of Vietnamese food all over the world so although we had high hopes for a delicious dinner, we were also prepared for just mediocre food. Tell me why not a single person in our party, big or small, was disappointed in their food? In fact, as I was prepping my two year old's bowl, everyone was taking turns raving about their food! Finally, I tried my filet mignon pho and it was as good as everyone mentioned. The kids slurped up their entire bowls and the adults were happy campers. This will definitely be our go to spot next time we are in the area! Food came out fast, presentation was great and staff was very friendly!

Stopped by here for a lunch break from our Great Wolf Lodge experience as the restaurant is about 10 minutes away.I liked the Pho and the drinks (Pina Colada smoothie and Iced Vietnamese Coffee).Vietnamese Steak & Egg with Bread (Banh Mi Bo Ne) - the heart of the dish, the steak, was tender and delicious. Came with a meatball and a small spreadable wedge of cheese, which were interesting, but didn't think it added much like the pate we've had with other Banh Mi Chao.Grilled Pork Chop Rice Plate was good - comes with 2 pork chops (we added an egg). The pork chop with egg only comes with one pork chop.Fried Egg Rolls were ok - what we expected with a slightly thicker and crunchier skin.The Shrimp fried rice looked gorgeous and the shrimp had really good texture (not overcooked). It was just underseasoned and did not have much oil or wok hay.A pretty solid choice for Vietnamese food.

Service was great and the atmosphere is nice. The restaurant is clean and the food is presented well! Food tasted good and the egg rolls were really well made. Overall, a good experience and we'll come back.Sorry, that we didn't think to take pictures of the food up front. Next time!

Tried out their Combination Pho, Chicken Pho, and Char Siu Pork Sandwich and Rice & Roll'd did not disappoint! This restaurant was very generous with the portions of pho that was given and the flavor of the broth was delicious. Attentive server and our food came out within 5-10 mins of ordering so service was quick! The restaurant is clean and there is a good amount of seating available. Will definitely be stopping by again!

I wish I could say I loved my Pho, but I hardly did. First I need my pho juice to have flavor/seasoning to it. This pho juice hardly had flavor, I added salt to it at work. The portion for the middles were low I was surprised. The fried egg rolls had no seasoning to it they were cooked and rolled great for sure, but there was a bland taste to it. I did like that they gave a bowl tupper that was new to me.Unfortunately I would not go back.

As a San Jose native- pho and other Vietnamese dishes are extremely popular. It's been trial and error finding a good pho restaurant in the Central Valley. I'm so glad to have found one in Manteca! They offer chicken pho, along with several dishes you normally don't see at pho restaurants such as fried rices AND banh mi! I do wish the meat included in the soups were a bit more, but the quality is there. We've gone here several times to get our pho fix.

Great service and great food. Very nice people. We had ordered one of the rice plate, and 2 pho bowls. Great tasting broth.

First time trying Rice & Roll'd and pleasantly impressed. Ordered shrimp spring rolls and bun Bo hue and both were delicious. Speaks volumes when your neighbor is slurping and blowing their nose from the heat of the soup. (Take that as a huge compliment). Overall, enjoyable experience with attentive staff. Cute location but parking is a little tricky. Find one in front if possible. Great meal!

When it's a hot day, it makes sense to counter the heat with a warm meal right? That logic stands for me though I didn't get pho or a broth based meal this time. I was craving some spring rolls and my bf saw this place when he passed by before, best time to give a try. Parking on the street wasn't all too hard to find in the afternoon as cars seem to be constantly going in and out. Inside here, it was pretty cool to see a motorbike display that seemed like ones commonly used in Vietnam. Everything was bright and clean while smelling like comfort food (to me), the broth scent permeates the place a bit and I love it!I had to get an order of shrimp spring rolls and 2 rice plates, was in the mood to drown my rice in fish sauce (iykyk). When it comes to Vietnamese food, I do get a bit picky as I grew up with family from Vietnam and having a family Pho Ga restaurant. Around the central valley area, I'm always on the look out for good comfort food. Service was pretty good; it took a little bit for us to put our order in, but the spring rolls and rice places came out very quickly. For the shrimp spring rolls, the presentation with the pickled carrots and daikon all over wasn't my favorite as I had to dig my roll out - but it's a nice added crunch to have together with a bite of spring roll. The spring rolls were nice and refreshing, no herbs in it - but there's a good balance of noodles to lettuce in it. As for the dipping sauce - it was a little heavier on the peanut side than hoisin, but still very good. For the 2 rice plates, I really enjoyed the grilled pork. It was very flavorful while still being tender and having a good sear on it. As for the chả trứng hấp on my plate, the flavor was mild and the meatloaf was a little more on the loose side... but nevertheless, the plate was very good with a nice light broth on the side. We got a few orders of bánh mì to go and they're what I would expect - the ratio of veggies to meat were fair with nice big slices of jalapeño. Oh! I also got a passionfruit tea with white boba (agar) and it was delightfully refreshing for the warm weather. There wasn't any weird sugary aftertaste and wasn't too overly sweet at the same time. If it's not for food, I'd happily come back for a boba - got other flavors to try now!Final Thoughts: I'm definitely coming back to give the pho a try. The beef stew also looks really good - that'll also be on my list to try. 10/10 - spring roll craving satisfied and it's honestly the best hot weather meal despite it being an appetizer (I'll take 2 orders to make it a meal!).

Parking is located behind the building which I don't like. Good thing we were able to move our car from the back parking to street parking. We enjoyed everything we ordered! The drinks were good as well. We will come back for sure.
