Just a takeout spot, so nothing fancy to look at, but the service is pretty quick and very friendly. They don't have online ordering, so you have to call in. Vegetables are always fresh.

We ordered takeout this time, and the overall experience was great. We placed an order online, and everything was very neatly packaged and ready to go when expected. The food even travelled fairly well, such that it was still in good shape after traveling home. The restaurant itself is in a bit of a drab strip mall, but it's generally nicely decorated with colorful signage and a nicely kept interior. In terms of the food, the shrimp spinach dumplings were really nicely done, with lots of flavor and texture. My partner especially enjoyed the barbecue pork bao, which were nicely steamed with a very flavorful filling. The egg tart was good, but not really my thing. It had a bit of a caramelized sugar flavor reminiscent of waffles with syrup. The spicy oil splashed noodles, one of the noodle dishes on the menu, was generally lacking: some nice toppings, but not much flavor. Overall, this is a nice little place that seems to be fairly well run. I suggest going for the dim sum and giving up on expectations for anything on the menu that isn't dim sum. Find another restaurant for your main course.

Sometimes I find that food quality suffers a little by the time it gets home but that was not the case here. I was super impressed about how well packed it was and how warm all my food was when I opened it at home. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of tables available for smaller or bigger groups. Their service is quick both when you are dining in and for takeout. The staff is really nice and helpful in providing recommendations. My personal favorite items are: - Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumpling - Chicken & Corn Dumpling - Crispy Popcorn Chicken - Dan Dan Noodle

Ho Fun Beef noodles were outstanding and filled with flavor as was the Triple Delight featuring chicken, beef and shrimp with veggies. Such a wonderful meal from start to finish.

One of the visits the restaurant was fairly busy, another there weren't many people there. But each time, the servers were attentive, informative and friendly. There are three different menus. An American Chinese menu (with things like chicken with broccoli, egg rolls, etc. A traditional Chinese menu (with exotic to us things like chicken feet, intestines and more) and a sushi menu. There are a lot of pictures on the Chinese menu to help you get a better sense of what some of those items are. The one disappointment I had was with the crispy pickled cucumber. When they were served to us, they were basically just cucumbers. There was only a tiny bit of sauce on them. I think they hadn't had enough time in the sauce or something. Our server did bring us more sauce which helped. On one visit, my daughter had the chicken with broccoli and said it was the best chicken with broccoli she had ever had. The portion size was great, the broccoli crisp and the chicken really tender. Overall, despite being a "boring" dish, it was quite tasty. One of my favorites is the mapo tofu with pork. Packed with spice and flavor. When it is brought to the table, it is served on a pot with a flame to keep it warm. I do wish they gave you more rice. The portion is tiny and ordering extra is an additional $2. But other than that, I highly recommend a visit here! Something for the most timid eaters, but also a wide variety of options for those that want to be more adventurous.

I stopped by here this past Saturday with my wife and twins for dinner. My wife and I discovered…read morerice 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.

Their menu lists many…read moreappetizers (e.g., buns, rolls, dumplings, and soups), dozens of entrees (e.g., fried rices, lo mein, udon, ramen, chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, ho fun, mi fun, vegetables, etcetera), and non-alcoholic beverages. In the past couple of years, I have ordered food from JJ Panda several times. For all orders, the restaurant promptly cooked my foods, and the time between my orders and deliveries was 24-30 minutes on weekend days. Overall, I think that this restaurant serves typical Americanized Chinese foods. Here are my reviews for the foods from all orders: Cream Cheese Wonton - 4.5 stars - Six wontons had a crispy dumpling and a tasty cheese filling. Chicken on a Stick - 4.5 stars - This appetizer consisted of four American-style kabobs that were different than we had expected. Chunks of meat were very tender and juicy and were on a stick with chunks of green peppers and onions. Chashao Bao - 4 stars - Three BBQ pork buns consisted of fluffy dough that was filled with a good amount of tasty BBQ pork. General Tso's Chicken - 3 stars - I had requested a spiciness of medium, but it actually tasted mild. The meat seemed to be mostly dark and slightly tough. On the side were white rice that was steamed perfectly and an egg roll that was large, had a crispy exterior, and a flavorful filling. Chicken with Broccoli - 4.5 stars - The meat was juicy, the broccoli was fresh, and the sauce was flavorful. On the side were fried rice, which my husband liked but said that he would prefer to not contain peas and carrots, and an egg roll. Chicken Lo Mein - 4 stars - My husband ate this entree. He described it as "good." Beef Lo Mein - 4 stars - My husband ate this entree and said that it was good. Vegetable Roll - 4.5 stars - This vegetable roll had a crispy outer wrapper and tasty shredded vegetables inside. Shrimp Egg Roll - 4 stars - This egg roll had a crispy outer wrapper and lots of fresh vegetables and some shrimp inside. Vegetable Soup - 4.5 stars - This soup contained mushrooms, celery, broccoli, peas, and green peppers. These vegetables were fresh and healthy. Stir Fried Vegetable Ramen - 3.5 stars - I thought that I had ordered the Vegetables Ramen Soup that was right next to this other entree in the menu. Oops! This entree contained no broth. It contained many noodles and some fresh peas, carrots, broccoli, and other vegetables. Vegetable Ramen Soup - 3 stars - I finally ordered what I intended to order. I felt surprised that the noodles were not typical ramen noodles. The noodles looked more like Italian pasta noodles. Furthermore, the broth had a very mild flavor and could use more seasoning. Mixed Vegetables - 4 stars - The vegetables were very fresh, were cooked very well, and had a flavorful sauce. Specific vegetables included broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, corn, pea shoots, I think bok choy and water chestnuts. Broccoli with Garlic Sauce - 4 stars - This entree was supposed to be "Medium hot," but it tasted mild to me. Sweet and Sour Shrimp - 3.5 stars - Several large shrimps had a crispy outer breading. Sauce was on the side. Chicken fried rice - 4 stars - My husband ate this entree, and he said that he liked it. He appreciated that the cook left out the peas and carrots as requested. Orange chicken - 3 stars - The chicken meat was tender, and the sauce tasted good, but the breading was very soggy. The breading either fell off on its own, or I pulled it off to avoid eating it. Sesame balls - 4 stars - These sesame balls contained a red-bean paste that tasted very good. My husband and I thought that these sesame balls were crispier than other restaurants' sesame balls.

I honestly wasn't going to get food here (I was going to get something from the nearby potato stand) but they were passing out samples and it looked appealing. The food was fresh tasting despite being in the "ready to serve" on the hot pans behind the glass. The chicken still had crisp to it on the outside, but was tender and juicy. The portions were also huge. I was balking a bit at the price, but when I saw just how much food I got, it made the price seem so much more reasonable. I think I got three meals out of it because they had packed the take out container so full! Staff was courteous and generous with portions. And the station and surrounding area were clean and well let. You were easily able to get the utensils needed. Overall, a better than expected experience.

While at the mall for some shopping on a Sunday afternoon last month, we wanted to stop for a…read morelittle snack to hold us over. After trying a sample of some chicken the employees were handing out, we decided to stop at China Mi. It is located in the middle of the food court, and there was an employee in the walkway handing out samples, with a lot of persistence. It is louder since it is located in the mall and within the food court. However, there is plenty of seating and liveliness around due to the surrounding mall activity and ambiance. There was no line when I went to order, and I was serviced very quickly. Everything comes out of the hot bar, so unless they were out of something I would assume the service is always fast. I decided to order the Combo 2. I split this food with my fiancé, and he opted for the Bourbon and I got the Orange over a bed of Fried Rice. There were some other options for both the proteins and for the sides, all of which are typical for any mall Chinese restaurant. We also got a large fountain Diet Coke. For both, it was around $18 including tax. The food was really good! We enjoyed both of the chickens, and the rice was also very tasty. The food seemed to be fresh, and everything was hot coming off of the serving bar. Plus, the portions were very generous. There was plenty for both of us to share, and this would be more than enough for someone to have for a meal, maybe even two. The staff were all nice and friendly. We got a drink to go with the meal, and they gave us a refill on it before we were leaving when we asked. It is always nice to be able to have a drink to go from any meal. I was very impressed with this place from my first-ever visit. I will definitely stop here in the future while shopping at Ross Park, and hope to try more of their offerings on my future visits!

Bit more expensive than other local takeout spots, but the food was all delicious. Looking forward to trying their other food options.

I stopped by here this past Friday to pick up dinner for my family. My wife and I were trying to…read moredecide where to order from when I remembered the positive experience we had the last time we ate Jackie Inn. I headed online and placed our order through Toast. Toast, as a platform, does not factor in how busy a restaurant actually is and gave me a thirty minute estimate. When I arrived about thirty five minutes later, there were six other people waiting and I was told it would be another ten minutes. The inside of Jackie Inn consists of a soda cooler, an ice cream cooler, and several areas to stand and wait, but there is no seating for dining in. On this Friday night, I believe there were seven people working, with six focused on food preparation and one person handling the front. The dominant sounds in the restaurant were woks in constant use, which was actually interesting to watch. In the end, my food was ready about twenty minutes after I arrived. For the first fifteen minutes I was fine with the wait, and I am glad they are busy, but I also did not expect to spend that much of my Friday night there. For dinner, I went with the lemongrass basil chicken while my wife chose the combination lo mein along with a chicken egg roll. The menu described my dish as spicy with broccoli, red bell pepper, lemongrass, basil, and a spicy chili sauce. My wife's lo mein was described as containing flank steak, chicken, prawns, carrots, scallions, onions, and fresh egg noodles. While the container initially looked small, the food ended up filling a fairly large bowl once plated. My dish was good. The chicken was moist and juicy, and I appreciated the generous amount of broccoli and bell pepper. The sauce had good flavor, and I even picked out some lemongrass stalks deeper in the dish, but I did not find it spicy at all. My wife really enjoyed her lo mein. She mentioned that while it costs a couple of dollars more than similar places, she feels it is worth it because the food tastes fresher. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I am happy to see Jackie Inn doing good business, I think the food tastes good, and I know my wife really enjoys it.

The location is right off the road, but a maze to get to if you enter at the light to the complex. I used the drive thru and the employees were on top of their game that day! I had a Plate with the Original Orange Chicken and Beijing Beef. I'd always highly recommend two entrees because it usually helps just in case one is not cooked well or lacking protein... but today here... both were perfect! I also noticed that you could do Half/Half on the One Side, so I got fried rice and super greens. The mix of kale, cabbage, and broccoli was a bright fresh note to the meal and all were tender.
