Mongolian Beef
Kay C.

While looking for a Chinese Restaurant to patron, I took the advice of Google and visited this place after seeing it was considered a "Hidden Gem" in the community. I will tell you, I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the staff, and given a menu to look at the food options available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While waiting for the person in front of me to finish placing their order, I looked around and noted the atmosphere was nice, the floors and tables were clean, and the staff matched in their uniform shirts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (Cleanliness is a BIG plus for me.) Once I got to place my order the woman at the register made it a note to advise that while the menu didn't list it all, they did offer traditional dishes other Chinese restaurants offer. I ordered, Chicken Chow Mein, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef and BBQ Pork with their Chicken Egg Rolls to go. Once I got home and served it to my family for dinner, when I tell you all of us were pleased, I mean it! This place truly is a hidden gem. The flavors of the chow mein was impeccable. The peppers and onion taste of the Mongolian beef even better. The rice, fresh, not hard or stale, but perfectly cooked with even amounts of everything. The chicken egg roll. was a delight! I love egg rolls and it's hard to find a good one. Theirs is GOOD. So, I say all this to say, that if you're looking for a good restaurant when you're craving Chinese food, give this place a try.

Beef Chow Fun, Rice with Hainan Chicken
Freyda T.

It has been a minute since I have visited Rice & Noodle, and they never disappoint! Their portions are generous and food tastes fresh. I ordered a beef chow fun and hainan chicken rice plate to-go. I called in to order and the food was ready for pickup by the time I arrived (15 mins). Food was packaged well and didn't leak. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cashier was friendly and the restaurant looked bustling with people, so you know the food is good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Beef chow fun was good, not oily, and didn't skimp on beef. It could use more wok hei but flavor was there nonetheless! Hainan chicken was refreshing for the warm day and there were plenty of pieces, enough for me to portion for two meals. I appreciate the added vegetables too to balance the meal! Overall, would definitely recommend if you're looking for a solid place for chicken plates. I'm looking forward to trying more of the new items on the menu

Beef Chow Fun
Ellie N.

i ordered take out. the golden salt baked chicken was so so good, even my picky mom loved it. the chow fun was okay- will definitely return to get golden salt baked chicken again and to try other dishes.

Best place for comfort chinese food near my house! I come here once every week and the employees are always welcoming and friendly :) I even got complimentary soup as an appetizer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cozy and warm decoration as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Hainan Chicken rice plate served with ginger sauce and sweet soy sauce.
Allen Y.

Happened to be in Elk Grove yesterday and stumbled upon this small mom-and-pop shop for a quick bite. My wife had the beef noodle soup, which was good. The broth is on the lighter side -- perfect as a hangover cure -- but she's more used to the richer, bolder styles of beef noodle soup. Just a heads-up if that's your preference too! I had the Hainan chicken rice plate. The chicken was perfectly cooked and served cold, with just a slight pink hue near the bone (not undercooked). The rice was seasoned beautifully -- I'd honestly come back just for this dish alone. They also served us complimentary small bowls of soup, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. The server was very kind and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior has been recently renovated, and I really liked their new chairs and the elegant tables -- it gives the place a surprisingly fancy feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back in the near future to try their other items.

Braised Pig Ears
Alina L.

I'm in between a 3.5 and 4 star because I want to try some of their other dishes to get a feel of their consistency. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a comfortable sit-down restaurant that reminds me of home a little bit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came by myself and was seated quickly. Service was great! It was mainly two people running the store front but they were both friendly and efficient with their work. I tried their House Special Noodles and their pork ear and tripe dish. The pork ear could have been a little softer and more seasoned but the beef tripe was on the saltier and juicier side so they balanced each other out. The house noodles are a big portion! Seasoned on the lighter end but I enjoyed the sauce. I didn't get to try the Hainan chicken this time but will have to try it next time!

Cream cheese rangoons
Yesah B.

I was a bit skeptical about coming here since the reviews are a mix of old and new management but our experience was very very positive and delicious! My gf and I were looking for good wonton soup and I managed to find this spot. And we agreed that this was the best wonton soup we've had! The broth was pork-based and very rich in flavor compared to other soups we've tried. It came with about 10 wontons and bok choy. We also ordered cream cheese rangoons and Haian chicken rice plate. Our server gave us a small bowl of egg drop soup and that was very tasty. Came small bits of tofu, corn, and a small price of chicken. The rangoons were standard but the wonton wrap was not as crunchy as I hoped. Still a solid appetizer. Last was the Hainan chicken rice plate. From other places, the chicken is usually prepared hot but served here, it was cold. Not something I would have expected but still a welcoming one. It was served with ginger and scallion sauce & sweet soy sauce. It also had bok choy and Hainan rice. A really good plate all around. The chicken flavor wasn't overwhelming and the rice was seasoned well. Overall, a perfect dining experience

Half Roasted Duck
Michelle C.

If you're craving real authentic flavors, this place delivers. Second visit and it still didn't disappoint. We had the roast duck, mapo tofu, and garlic green beans every dish was amazing. Crispy, juicy duck, rich and numbing mapo tofu, and seriously addictive green beans. One of the most authentic and satisfying meals I've had in a while. Definitely coming back.

Menu April 2025
Lily N.

3.5 stars. New owners, new menu. They really should just be called something else but whatevs moving on .. They redecorated everything so all the tables/chairs/plates/etc are all nice and new. You also get table service now vs ordering at the counter. The service is very good! Food is still a little inconsistent for me, probably because they are still working out their kinks. One time it was not salty enough; another time they overcompensated and it was too salty lol. *Beef Chow Fun - 3/5, needs more "wok hay" *String beans - have been inconsistent but overall tastes fine *Chicken chow Mein - Flavor was fine but could use a little more veggies *Salt and pepper spare ribs - overly breaded but flavor was fine HK style lemon tea could use a little more syrup and ice :D

Mee V.

The food was amazing. Came out fast and hot. The chicken was cold because it's supposed to be cold. But overall I would recommend. The chili oil is a MUST. My husband put it on everything he ate cause the enjoyed the flavor. He said it balanced out the flavors. I prefer it without, but if you like little spicy, yes try it! The restaurant was well lit and the service was great. Our server was attentive and she was super nice. Will return to try other food!

House Special Noodles
Maisie W.

Giving this place a 5 stars because although there was only 1 waitress, she was attentive and always asking our table of 8 if we needed anything. A lot of the dishes ordered were Hainan chicken which I tied and did like. Stir fry green beans was as expected and just right in flavor. Note: you have to order ahead if you want duck otherwise it won't be available so my ordered chicken and that was crispy and good. I got house noodles and it was delicious. For mine, I would have liked less oil. For most, it's probably just right amount of oil. Our table had 2 kids and they were understanding which I appreciated.

Fried Rice with BBQ Pork
Sabrina V.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I loved how crunchy the honey walnut shrimp was. The shrimp were huge compared to what I've had at other places. The salt and pepper pork chop was super flavorful and crunchy. The fried rice was delicious too.

Soup of the day
Christine D.

Good portion sizes with good prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is quiet and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I accidentally misread the opening time and arrived a couple minutes before the official opening time, but the staff let us in. The serving of BBQ pork that I received was on the leaner side and a bit drier, but paired with the duck sauce it was perfect. A tend to prefer a leaner cut of meat because it is easier to eat. They give you a free soup with your meal. It's a nice lunch spot to come back to. At the time of this review, this location is under new management.

The service was quick - we got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. There are self-served condiments table on the right side of the pick up window. You can load as much condiments as you like. They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces. - A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish. - A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious! - B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn't have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good. - C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky. The less sugar version was the perfect sweetness for us. The boba pieces were chewy and good.

Interior is somewhat dimly lit. They have tables off to one side of the restaurant, with a lot of space being taken up by the worker / behind the counter area. I had the Beef Brisket Rice Noodle Soup. The meat isn't the type of meat I like (lots of tendon/cartilage), but it has good flavor. I really did not like the pork in the Pork Rib Rice Noodle Soup. It was super tough! I did enjoy the flavor of the soups though. It seemed like the broth was high fat content. I really liked the self-serve condiment bar. This was one of the highlights for me. I'll be a returning customer.

When they came out to bring us water they asked us to move in case a "big party" came they would have no where else to sit, so we moved (they couldve seated us in the first place and no big party came..). Anyways, ordered the yum woonsen, pork drunken noodle and the khao soi. All were 15.95 each. First glance, portion differences was crazy. The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.

This had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was light and refreshing and balanced the rest of the flavors of the meal. I started with the seaweed salad. It was a solid seaweed salad. Good seasoning and texture. It was a good portion size as well. Melissa and Jonathan had the gyoza. They were stuffed full of meat, but I felt like the seasoning was a little less than and also they were unevenly cooked. I still tried one though because a gyoza is a gyoza. As my main, I had the karamiso ramen with a spicy miso based broth with seasoned ground chicken, veggies and chili threads for an extra kick. I enjoyed this bowl of ramen. It was the perfect level of spice. I am partial to ground meat in ramen, so I liked that this was an option. The veggies were cooked al dente which I appreciated, and the broth was filling and flavorful. The noodles were thin which is my favorite type. Attentive service here.

I got the Karamiso ramen, the spice level was okay, but upon tasting the broth, you get a rich flavorful punch of pork flavor with sourness. I like the richness of the broth and sour flavors so I was drawn to it. My wife got the Aka Red Tonkotsu ramen, the broth was definitely lighter, and the spice level was abut the same as the one I got. The portions were generous, we were not able to finish our ramens unfortunately. But I must say, for the price, it's worth it. I would like to go back and try their tan tan men.

There is a good amt of seating but let me tell you, it fills up FAST. The menu is EXPANSIVE with tons of options for omnivores and vegetarians alike. I will admit the impossible siu mai grabbed my attention pretty fast because I had never seen a vegetarian siu mai before sooo we had to order it. My friends shared the pork xlbs and we got the garlic green beans and the garlic noodles to share as well! Honestly, it was like being in a flow state between the garlic noodz and the green beans alone; highkey could eat multiple plates of just those two back to back to back l o l The siu mai was also delish but the other two dishes were somehow better. The soy/vinegar and chili oil they give for dipping is so good and hits that perfect note between salty/tangy/spicy. Prices are fair for the quality and I would love to go back and try more of their vegetarian options! I appreciate that this a spot that both vegetarians and their omnivore friends can go~ Have to go back to try their desserts including the egg tarts that sold out!
