While a good place last time I came I was disappointed to see it closed 15 minutes early today. It's mainly a takeout spot so I'm not sure why the need to close early.

Randomly found this spot, such a cool concept. Kind of like chipotle lol but for fried rice haha. They make the fried rice infront of you so that's pretty cool. The service was quick, and the staff is friendly. The strawberry refresh was good tasted like sprite with strawberry syrup The chicken bowl was good, a little too much onions but other than that it did have flavor and was cooked really well. I also got chicken dumplings but needed some kind of sauce with it. It does get really busy be prepared for that.

I was in the mood for fried rice and stumbled across this place en route to the airport. Ifs a simple concept: you order from a kiosk and add in your toppings and pay and a chef makes your food on a mini hibachi grill. I really like that you can add on spring rolls and dumplings, which I did. They also serve bubble teas. The tea we got (don't remember the flavor) was good. The place has tables to eat in, but it's fast casual style, so don't expect much in terms of ambiance. The food was so good, I was debating taking another bowl to go on my flight, but I was afraid I would eat it in the airport. The next time I'm in the Orlando area, I'm definitely stopping through.

I found this hidden spot one day while shopping in the area. The artwork in the restaurant caught my eyes. The layout of the place is a little different. There are mostly booths here so if you have a bigger crowd you may not be able to seat everyone together. The fried rice options are very customizable. The portions were big. Each order is made fresh. You can see your order being made. Each worker has their own hibachi grill and they make it in front of you. Though I do not have any allergies, I thought they were very accommodating to other customers who mentioned they did have some. There are plenty of toppings and proteins to choose from. If you don't want to build your own you can also choose a pre-made one. The only thing I do not recommend would be the Boba. All I tasted was syrup.

Wanted to try some Asian food for lunch. After looking through Yelp search, I decided to check out A Lot Fried Rice. It was an 8 mile drive, yet I managed to find the business. A Lot Fried Rice was a quiet restaurant with adequate seating. There are kiosks on the right side of the entrance to place your order and make payment. You have a choice among a variety of fried rice, noodles, appetizers, boba tea, and cold fountain drinks. You can also customize your fried rice and boba tea to your liking. Once you place your order, the food is cooked right in front of you in less than five minutes. I ordered shrimp fried rice with a fountain drink. The food was prepared nicely with plenty of shrimp and veggies. It was not oily or salty. I did add some soy and duck sauce for flavor. Lunch was pleasant.

I like the fried rice / noodles. It's nice how you can customize it. Also you can watch them make it in front of you. However, I thought it was a bit too oily. The boba was alright. There are lots of tables to eat comfortably.

Ordering was very simple, pleasantly surprised to see they had refreshers. Got a small build a bowl and honeydew refresher. Only waited a few minutes for the bowl to be cooked, good portion of veggies vs base vs protein. Location was clean and smelt like hibachi. Food tasted great, small was the perfect portion size. Would come back!

Once again a great spot ! Really loved the food and the aroma was just amazing. You can smell the seasoning, rice, and chicken all at once the moment you walk in ! For a Monday night , it was actually pretty empty giving it was the holiday weekend, but maybe people were out of town. Definitely a spot that not everyone may know about, but located right next to Osceola parkways towards the front of Walmart. Their neighbors would be Panera bread and this new AÇAÍ place opening up soon! Service was quick and they had our food ready in 5 minutes. All of the food came out steamy and tasted delicious. I think the best part is they served the food In a Plastic bowl in case you want to take it to go. Smart ideas and saves time with trash and needing to ask for a box and bag. Tonight I ordered the chicken teriyaki noodle bowl and it was delicious ! Paired it with my favorite , taro milk tea which gave it that extra boost shot of sweetness. Although the combination sounds funny, you may need to try it out before jumping to conclusions. All items were about $17 which is pretty good given the size and amount of food they serve. Really would like to try more of their amazing menu items and hope to be back soon!

Swore I had reviewed this place before! Second time here and once again it was a pleasure. I stopped by for lunch today and did a "build your own bowl" so many options to pick from; today I did the Korean bbq chicken, with white rice, tons of toppings, and yummy sauce!! My food was out fairly quickly after ordering and fresh; they literally make it right in front of you! I enjoy that you customize, pick, and pay for your order at a touchscreen kiosk. They have different size bowls, combos, boba tea, and more! Loved the wall decor here, it's so cute. I paid a total of $11 something for my bowl with add-ons, such a great price for the amount they give you honestly.

I was in the area and as a Vegan, this was the first place that popped up in my maps. The place looked clean and spacious. You order from a kiosk on the side which I appreciated because you can go at your own pace and look through your options. I ordered rice with tofu and all vegetables available while my partner ordered the pork belly and chicken with noodles. What was a nice surprise was that they cook the food in front of you. As we waited, the atmosphere is welcoming and the art decor was very nice. The wait wasn't too long and it was worth it. The food was hot and very, very good. They give you a generous serving and I felt the price matched what we ate. Too bad this drive is way out of my way but if I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by. The food is that good.

Stopped by to get lunch as we were starving. The inside is very open and bright, quite cute decor. You can order a customized fried rice or noodles (with a variety of rice options and rice/noodle combos). Proteins include chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, ham, and cheese. You can add a variety of toppings for no extra charge (except egg which is extra). When your order goes in they make it fresh on a teppanyaki grill right then and there so when you get it, it's piping hot. Quite yummy to be honest. I got the regular shrimp (theres a spicy thai shrimp option too) and it's just cooked shrimp but the whole bowl is quite pleasing. I got teriyaki mixed in with yum-yum and spicy mayo on the side. The teriyaki does give the bowl a good flavor, maybe a tad salty. Service was relatively quick, within about 5 minutes and there was constantly a couple customers coming in and out while we were there. Fun little lunch time option and quite enjoyable.

Food is meh. Nothing crazy. Flavor was 2/5. Very few pieces of protein.

We were visiting Kissimmee and decided to try this place. Food is ok. Nothing wow. Lacks flavor. The service was quick. But, the employees aren't very friendly. The ambiance of the place is ok. It's quiet until they start banging who knows what in the kitchen. The place could use a deep cleaning. The women's restroom was disgusting. Pee stained seat and dirty floors. They are also a little over priced for the amount of food they give. The milk teas are very watery. They also lack flavor. Overall 2/5

Pretty simple concept. Design your own fried rice bowl or choose from one already designed. You order at a kiosk and 10mins later it is done being fried up in front of you while you wait. Hard to complain as it is your choice in what goes into it. Enjoyed the freshness and the staff. read more

Quick, efficient, and consistently good. This is a small, quick service restaurant that's made for collecting your food and getting out. It's not fancy inside, and only has a handful of tables, but that doesn't take away from the food. You can order either online or at the screen kiosk. Once you do, the food is made in front of you hibachi style and ready to go in a matter of minutes. I often order delivery from Uber Eats and in the dozen times we've ordered food, it's always been warm, fresh, and accurate. I've never had trouble with my order here and the food is consistently good. It's my go-to when I don't know what to eat. I love their curry noodles and their curry rice with Korean bbq chicken. Honestly cannot beat the price or the quality of the food. An excellent quick and cheap meal on the go. I don't care much for their boba tea, but I do like their jasmine green tea. Definitely try it out!! read more

Would I come here again? Probably not. It was good tasting food. Barely had any pork belly or shrimp in it . Needed more veggies in it because after they cooked it, there was barely in there but rice. $13 a bowl for rice. The workers seem like they're being forced to work there. I saw the one employee get rude with the other own when she tried to take an order. The one girl moved her hair out of the way with her hand, right next to the food. Lort have mercy lol read more

FoodieIQ Score = 5.3/10 (Good!) I was in the mood for some fried rice and stumbled upon this restaurant so I decided to give it a try. A lot fried rice is an Asian hibachi bowl restaurant that also serves boba tea. When you walk in, you have kiosks to the right where you place your order which is pretty cool. You start off with selecting your bowl size (ex: small, regular, or large), then a base such as brown rice, curry rice, white rice, or noodles. After that you can select your protein option (ex: teriyaki chicken, grilled chicken, shrimp, pork, tofu, etc.) and different veggie options as well with a sauce to top things off. I ordered the curry rice with grilled chicken and teriyaki chicken, onions, carrots, and sweet peppers with Yum Yum sauce on the side. I unfortunately didn't get the teriyaki chicken with this order but I won't let that impact the score because it's all about the food to me. I scored this a 5.3/10 because the rice and food was average. It tasted like a typical rice and chicken bowl but the extra options to add specific vegetables and the Yum Yum sauce pushed it slightly above average. This is not a must try but it's also not a bad place to check out if you wanna switch it up from a typical chipotle since you can have a little bit of an Asians twist with the options they have. read more

Tried this place for the first time recently. You input your order in kiosks near the door, then slide along to watch the magic happen. Seating is available, but my order was to-go. I had the 32 ounce 'regular' serving, which was a pretty big serving. I went with the sausage, which wasn't a Chinese-style sausage, more of a kielbasa (yum). Pick the veggies you want in it, toppings, sauce (on top, not mixed in. I got the teriyaki, but the yummi yummi was pretty good too (savory with some sweet.)) All in all, pretty yummy. I also got egg rolls and pot stickers, both were pretty good (better than most fast-food Chinese.) Note that the menu pictures here in Yelp are out-of-date and do not perfectly reflect the current options (though they'll give you a general idea of what's available.) read more

Five stars for an affordable and unique concept- made to order fried rice (& noodles). Some side items available as well. The staff were friendly and they had a great co-vid safe set up. The food was great, though the regular chicken option looked really dry. I went with the curry chicken and it was good. They didn't have the beef option out when I went but it was close ish to closing. Overall, I liked it as a Chipotle kind of version of hibachi. Watching them make the order was a lot of fun. They have a decent number of options and I liked the option of curry rice in addition to the normal white and brown. Servings were pretty large as well. Definitely a place I'd go to again if in the area. read more

Build it and they will come. If you love fried rice this is the place for you. I love fried rice and I love that you can completely customize it. Pick your rice (base) they have noodles as an options too. then pick your protein and then all the toppings ! I love the variety they offer. Then You can watch as they fry it up for you. Make it a meal and get potstickers or egg rolls with your bowl and a drink. read more

Japanese food is one of my favorites and whenever anything remotely Japanese in cuisine opens up or I just recently heard of, I get the urge to check it out. I saw that it received good reviews so I decided to place an order. Basically, you build a "teriyaki (or flavor you select) bowl. You select either white or brown rice or noodles. Then you select a protein, veggies, and sauce. I went and ordered rice with shrimp and extra meat (beef) , peppers, eggs, green onion, seaweed, crispy onion and topped off with Teriyaki and Yummy Yummy sauce. Now that sounds like a whole lot and in a sense it is. However, reading the reviews before me, folks mentioned a few times how generous their portions of meat were. Well their pantry must had been low on supply tonight because I barely found shrimp and I don't recall tasting the beef but other than that, it was really tasty. However, for a total of $12.79 for the aforementioned, I did hope for a meatier dish. Tasty, filling , may try again but I don't want to ever have to reenact an old Wendy's commercial. read more

Okay, so I've never been the president of the Fried Rice Fan Club, but this joint? It's like the unicorn of rice places - surprisingly magical! I mean, they're not just serving fried rice; they're orchestrating a symphony of flavors in a wok. And let's talk portions - I asked for a plate, and they handed me a satellite dish. I'm not saying the fried rice converted me into a rice enthusiast, but I did catch myself doing a little rice happy dance. Who knew grains could be this entertaining read more

They've added more ramen to the menu since my last review, and the Tan Tan ramen has quickly become one of my favorites. The spicy sesame peanut broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. If I'm not in the mood for ramen, I always go with the shiso butter yaki onigiri with a side of pork chashu. They torch the butter right at your table, which is such a fun touch, and it smells incredible. The mentaiko fries are still a must order every single visit, and for dessert you can't skip the matcha tiramisu or the taro ice cream with the hot green tea. The ramen, grilled meats, addicting appetizers, fun drinks, awesome atmosphere, and consistently amazing staff are exactly why I keep coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

The food was okay overall, but the quality and service were very disappointing…read more Some of the beef was extremely tough, with too much connective tissue and tendon. The beef ribs were mostly fat and still very tough to chew. The chicken was woody breast, making it dry and very difficult to eat. The rice was even worse. They replaced it three times. The first two batches were hard, and the third batch was actually undercooked. The service was by far the biggest disappointment. Even though ordering is done on an iPad, they still kept forgetting items. We had to remind the staff multiple times before the food finally arrived. Every dish took 10-15 minutes or longer to arrive, yet customers are expected to finish their meal within a 90-minute time limit. This is a Japanese BBQ restaurant where the staff is simply bringing out raw meat for customers to grill at the table. There is really no reason it should take 10-15 minutes to deliver each order. To make it even more frustrating, the restaurant wasn't even busy. During our entire meal, there were only two or three other tables occupied, so it's hard to understand why the service was so slow and disorganized. To make matters worse, an 18% service charge was automatically added to the bill. I don't mind paying a service charge for good service, but charging that much when the service is this slow and disappointing feels completely unjustified. Our bill was over $210 for three people, and that didn't even include any drinks. At that price, there are many better Japanese BBQ options available. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place.

I'm so glad we listened because each of the items were beautifully presented, and so so delicious. We started with the tuna pizza, mainly because we were curious, and that was the most unique take on pizza/seafood in my opinion. The tuna was so fresh, the garlic aioli complimented very well with the crisp cracker/crust. I had the Ette Norwegian Benedict and was very happy. The smoked salmon was very tasty, and the side arugula and avocado salad was very fresh. Maddie had the lobster roll which absolutely slapped! Lastly, we were recommended the AB Chocolate in a cup, and WOW you must try this! Very warm nutella chocolate cake at the bottom, vanilla ice cream all the way to the top of the cup, and topped with a hard chocolate disk and banana foam.

You have to pay to secure your seating, including mandatory 20% tip. Equaled out to $100/pp. Very steep! Reservations were easy on Open Table. We arrived separately & met in the lobby of the hotel the restaurant is in. Very upscale. Gorgeous. Literally NO guests visible. No staff at the hostess station. When I walked in to the bar to ask about seating, I got very dismissive responses from the bartender & the person who ended up being the host. Like WEIRD rude. Service was extremely slow, even though the restaurant was largely empty the whole time. It was unnerving. The tea refresh was simply more hot water, NOT a fresh tea bag, so round two was basically flavorless. Ew. The server was really nice, but the long waits to get her attention were frustrating. And the water bottles were kept away from our table (?). I was having thirsty day, so my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth for way too long. When I asked for the bottle, she acted like she was irritated because it was "right behind" (me). Where neither of us could see it??? The lighting was AWFUL so most of the pics look bad, even with heavy editing. You can tell it's beautiful, but the pics are rough. Now - the settings were GORGEOUS. The dishes and flatware were beautiful. The water options were wonderful. The food is in the top 3 of any tea service I've ever had. The tea itself is hands down the best tea I've EVER HAD anywhere. You get a sampler box to smell before you choose, and there were so many that I loved. I ended up with Marco Polo blue, add honey and cream. I couldn't finish all the food, and they boxed the remainder up. Let me take the remainder of my water bottle home. Pushed for a review HARD. So here it is. We have to remember that the Michelin rating is solely for the food, not the decor, not the service. It definitely delivered there, but the rest really fell flat. For the price I'd expect way more as it's about double what tea costs anywhere else in the entire area.

I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

This place is AMAZING!! The food was so delicious and flavorful and the customer service was great too. Too bad this place is a little too far away from home, but any time I come to this side of town I'll definitely be stopping by. read more

Wow the food is amazing. So flavorful and fresh! I got the chicken fried rice and added all the veggies I wanted. They cooked it right in front of me. Yum! Highly recommended. read more

I placed an order online for pick up and had to wait a few minutes before it was ready but it was worth the wait. Everything tasted and looked fresh. I can't wait to go back. read more
