Friendly service? Nope Quality? Meh and my dragon rolls came with no sauce Crispy noodles are new to me but I don't think I'd order them again. After tipping in advance, not impressed with the service or food. read more

Food is ok Not cheap but .. the thing that got me is I like to read little papers etc at lunch - callingwood location has only Chinese restaurants papers - nothing in English - Pisses me off - I think I'll go to other places for lunch from now on - this is not China - yet read more

Authentic Hong Kong style noodle and snack cafe in a fast food setup. Service is typical fast food restaurant and typical of take out services. Highly recommended for take home meals. read more

Not a fancy place but the food is tasty and fresh. I love Chinese food and this place is perfect for the days when I want to treat myself with some takeout. read more

I have only one negative thing to say before I tell you how much I like this place. Here goes: It's a tiny place,and very busy. So the only place we could sit with my mom and her walker was the benches. I loathe those benches. Very hard for a woman with mobility issues to get into, and since they are bolted to the floor, they can't be adjusted. My mother and I were both super uncomfortable. Everything else was great. The bathroom were clean and easily accessible. Service was good, selection was great, and the food was delicious. But the best part might be the clever packaging. When I received my....I think it was a Crispy Deluxe Noodles...The noodles were packaged separate from the meat and veggies. I could pour as much as i liked and the noodles didn't get soggy until I let them get soggy. My sister had the veggie bowl, and her veggies were packaged separate from her rice. Nice! I just thought it was a clever way to keep your food from becoming a soppy, sloppy mess. So we've decided that we're definitely coming back. We're just going to take our food to go. read more

Rice Bowl Deluxe - Two Crispy Noodle Deluxe and a Veggie Bowl. - Chinese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Best take out in the city. Healthy bowls are always delicious. My favourite is the New York Steak Bowl.

Such high hopes after reading their menu, but that was quickly dashed after our visit. I love the idea of a variety of dishes from different cultures on one menu and was super excited for a fast food place that offered so many choices. We tried the crispy tofu appetizer ($9), Filipino ribs in honey garlic with rice ($12) and the new house special noodle soup ($12). You order at the counter, pay, get your number and then fill your own drinks at the fountain. The wait wasn't too long even though there was a steady stream of pick up orders from what we observed. Tofu was hot and crispy and tossed in a generous amount of salt and pieces of bell pepper. This was our favourite thing we ordered. The noodle soup was thin egg noodles, a variety of balls (meat, fish, tofu) and a couple of pieces of broccoli. The noodles were extremely overcooked so they were super soft (blech) and the broth was flavorless hot water. I've a pretty low salt tolerance, so when I'm looking for either salt or soy sauce or *something* to give it flavour, it's pretty bland. Lastly, the Filipino ribs were coated in batter, deep fried and tossed in honey - if there was garlic, it was minuscule because all you tasted was honey. Served with steamed rice, it needed something more to cut the sweetness. A bit of vegetable to the dish would go a long way. It was very reminiscent of food court chinese ribs - I'm not sure how authentic it was for Filipino food. I think it's pretty pricy for what you're getting. If I went back I'd avoid anything with soup and maybe pick something with both meat and vegetables. Don't think I'd rush back anytime soon though. read more

I was excited due to the menu, clean environment and friendly service. When I got home I was sad that my chicken basil dish was pure chicken fat hardly any actually meat at all. Also, quite expensive for deep fried chicken fat and noodles with a side of rice ($23 after tip). I can't eat the "chicken" so I hope this was not their regular situation. Mistakes happen I will try again another time. read more

Ordered takeout through Doordash. Food was really tasty but very pricey! We ordered green onion cake (only comes with one per order), vegetable spring rolls (three per order), Pad Thai with Shrimp and Thai Green Curry bowl. Love that the Green Curry was separated from the rice. This way it's not soggy. Wonderfully designed take out bowls! Everything tasted fresh made and delicious. Just feel it's overpriced for the portion sizes. read more

I would give this place a zero if I could! We ordered delivery. The food was very salty and way to much oil to even think about eating. We tasted everything but ended up throwing EVERYTHING in the trash! No supper tonight! I also requested some extra bean sprouts and basil for my pho which they turned down and said I couldn't have any. So disappointed! Will never even look at the sign for this place again! read more

This Asian fusion fast food restaurant has a similar menu (except larger) to the now-defunct Rice Bowl Express that was located on 149 Street. The place is larger, the menu has been expanded, and patrons can expect a variety of bowls inspired by Japanese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Korean cuisine. For dessert, there is bubble tea and frozen yoghurt. I had a chicken satay bowl which came on coconut rice. It took me a while to realize that the meat and veggies were in a plastic bowl suspended above the rice. One has to pull out the top bowl and pour it over the rice. This was somewhat awkward. The portion was decent enough, but the chicken did not taste fresh to me, and it looked a little undercooked at points. My other half had teriyaki beef, and he enjoyed it, but said it wasn't much better or different than he gets at Tokyo Express. Service was reasonably fast, and prices range from $7-$10 per bowl. I probably would eat here in the future if I was in the area and needed to grab something quick, but I would not go out of my way. read more

I've never had a bad meal from this restaurant! It may not be completely authentic, but it's always made fresh with quality ingredients. Prices are reasonable and everything I've had only leaves me wanting more! While I literally had to get a bowl of ice cream to eat in-between bites of my (very spicy) green curry the other night, I just couldn't get enough of it. We regularly order take-out from here and the portion sizes are large enough for left-overs the next day. Wait time is short (approximately 10 minutes) the staff are friendly, and the food can't get any better! Rice Bowl Deluxe, you continue to impress :) read more

Rice Bowl Deluxe - the outside of the building - Chinese Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This has to be the smallest meal I've seen for almost $19. And she wouldn't even give me a pack of plum sauce. She said "No ". You can't have. Lol. Like keep your customers coming back right ! No ! Horrible service with the older lady. The young girl on Cash had excellent customer service! Wouldn't go back. read more

I've been to Rice Bowl numerous times. Pretty much every time I've been to this location over the years, it's the same. Came into the place and there were a few people in the place. I ordered the Panko Salmon bowl and ordered a Katsu Pork Curry for my wife. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. As with other visits, we waited for a bit, prior to getting our food. This was very typical of prior experiences. Once we had our food, as expected from prior visits. The portion size and the quality of the food is good for what you pay for. It's not exactly cheap for the bowl, but the quality is there, and as in the past, food always comes out hot. Overall, I like this place, and they are consistently good, and have been over the years. Staff are very good and food is good ! I'll be back again.. read more

After getting food poisoning twice from this place from under cooled Korean pork ribs I stopped going. I've messaged customer service and they always say that they'll talk to the person making the food and offer free food in return but I can't bring myself to go back. I ordered a soup to be on the safe side the last time and the soup wasn't good at all, I ended up throwing it out. The spring rolls are veggie and are full of grease. I'm giving them 2 stars for customer service but the food is just crap and very pricey. If you come here stick to the bubble tea or frozen yogurt. I've thrown up my guts out twice now from this place. Please be safe! Maybe if they changed their sweet and sour sauce and taught their cooks how to properly cook meat I'll be back. read more

Weren't expecting such a pleasant experience with this place. Quite unassuming from the outside; it seemed like a quick, mediocre, take out place. Oh no no... Inside you will find a huge selection of rice and noodle dishes; anything from thai, chinese, indian, and even Hungarian! We had the thai pineapple fried rice and the korean bbq. Both really good for a good price. Huge portions. Will return! And they deliver!!! read more

I ordered the Red Curry with chicken and coconut rice thru the app. I requested no carrots. Due to Covid it was a pick up order which was ready on arrival. The dish had overcooked and partially 'seeded' broccoli plus zucchini that turned to mush when cooked. These 2 ingredients are not mentioned in the description and should be left out. The coconut rice was excellent as was the chicken. A few more mushrooms would have been better than the low quality veggies. read more

I knew it was going to be generic; I knew it wasn't going to be remotely authentic; I knew it was going to have way too much salty sauce; I knew it wasn't going to be very good. There were no surprises with Rice Bowl Deluxe. I was in a hurry and I didn't have time to scan the menu for something I could eat so I asked the girl at the counter "I don't eat meat. What do you recommend?" She got all wide-eyed and scared "You don't like meat?!" I was a bit taken aback "no... I don't eat it at all." She got even wider-eyed (if that was even possible) and said "oh... well we have the veggie bowl". Wow. What a concept! I didn't have time to ask if that was really my only option so I agreed to try it. Unlike most other fast-food stir-fry joints, the service wasn't fast. At least the atmosphere was decent to relax in. However 20 minutes to wait for fast-food really isn't acceptable. I only get a half hour break and I don't enjoy having to rush to stuff my face. There was only one other customer there so I'd hate to see how slow things are when they're actually busy. Overall, Rice Bowl Deluxe was underwhelming. Based on the lengthy wait time and the sub-par food, it's pretty unlikely that I'll be returning. read more

After a client of mine from work raved about RBD, I thought we would try it out on our next dine in night. We placed an order over the phone and were told 30 - 35 minutes which is a reasonable amount of time for a Tuesday night and freshly made food. We live a 5 minute drive from the Collingwood location - but my vehicle was in need of service so we could not pick up. An hour goes by and we call to check if the driver was okay and the staff tell us that the food has already left. They also confirm our address which we gave to them again. It is now 1.5 hours after our order was supposed to ARRIVE. We call back again, They repeat the address to us, but said the driver was unable to find it and had returned to the location... what?! Finally the driver shows up. She said she went to the townhouse next door but there was no answer. Funny, because the light next door was off and there was no vehicle at the home. We left our lights on, and the address is clearly marked beside our door. So we get $5 off our order. She was really nice so it was hard to be upset, but $5 off is ridiculous, especially since we ordered extra food for the next day and to already eliminate the delivery fee. Buuuut ... THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. The best I've ever had for takeout, it was incredibly delicious and fresh. Portion sizes are huge. It was so good that the following week we thought we would give it a go again. Our food was 27 minutes past the delivery time, no discount, no apology, no explanation. Same driver. I even called the location to which the girl who answered the phone would only say "Im not sure, the food has left." Sooo basically if you want to eat here, order 2 hours in advance and ask them to repeat the address back to you and give them detailed notes for the driver. Otherwise just pick it up. I will still eat here, but will never order in again. The food is really good, but I've experienced way better delivery. read more

I love this place. It is so convenient, priced well and mostly yummy. My fiancé and I have been going here since it opened its doors, and between the two of us, we have eaten almost everything on the menu (minus all of its newly added dishes). The price is really good because I usually get 2 mid sized meals from one bowl, my fiancé usually gets a mid-size meal and a leftover snack (or a huge meal in one sitting). The staff is always nice and acknowledges you before you're ready to order. It makes me happy to see a lot of people going in and out of this place, because they deserve the business. I love the convenience of having them on speed-dial and ordering on phone for pickup (usually around 10-15 mins wait, which is my travel time to get here). My favourite dishes are the Macau Curry (with Beef), their new Korean Fried Chicken in Honey Garlic (my mouth is salivating), and Japanese Pork Katsu Curry Bowl. I would avoid the Vietnamese Noodle Bowl (this is not real Pho), Korean Gangnam Chicken (this was way too saucy and tangy for me), and Chow Fun Noodle Bowl (this was a slap in the face to real Chow Fun/Fan). But otherwise, most other bowls are tasty enough and a great deal. I've had better BBT than this place, but it will satiate your cravings if you happen to have one. I will always go here and hope they keep up the creative menu and good cooking. read more

We walked in and instantly looked at each other and said "Smells great!" We took our food to go and were very pleasantly surprised when we finally got home and tried it. The innovative packaging separating the rice from the "bowl" was a very nice surprise (especially as we were doing take-out), and the selection was great. After dining here, I can say that it's a miracle that the dive of Wok Box stays in business in this plaza... Rice Bowl is SO much better and a much greater value!! And contrary to other reviewers, I waited a shorter period of time for Rice Bowl than I ever have at Wok Box. We will be coming here whenever the hankering for rice or noodles hits us -- even though it's about thrice as far to drive as the nearest Wok Box or similar. read more

I've been to Rice Bowl Deluxe a few times and am addicted now. The food is great and the menu selection is huge - the hardest part is choosing what you're going to eat. The food is authentic asian cuisine and features different flavors from all over Asia. I bring my friends here all the time, they also have a ton of different bubble teas as well as fruit smoothies, slushies and other drinks as well as frozen yogurt! I highly recommend the Green or Red Curry Bowl...so good! read more

Love this place. This is my usual go-to spot if I don't feel like cooking after working late. Quality has been very consistent. Tons of options to choose from, ranging from soup noodles, to fried noodles to rice dishes. I have trouble deciding every time while lining up. One of my favorite options in my hood when it comes to quick eatery read more

I love this place. The prices are comparable with take away, but you don't get the nasty tenderized stuff, instead you get a bowl full of flavor. I agree with some previous reviewers that some of the dishes don't taste quite authentically. However, the dishes we tried there were delicious, and aim a very picky eater. The place itself is quite cosy and clean, so it is always nice to have the food there. We will definitely be there back again! read more

Well just had the best wonton soup ever! the broth is so flavorful,tender pork (I think) wonton and the veggies are wonderful,and cheep too! the only complaint is I wish it was wor wonton I missed the chicken and BBQ pork. I have eaten here several times and the food has always been awesome! this is a gem in callingwood,if you can check it out its totally worth it! read more

Food is really good but extra stuff like a side of rice is for $5. Beyond ridiculous. They have it posted for 1.79 as an extra but they insist I have to pay for $5. Maybe the rice portion that comes in the combo were intentionally decreased so you have to pay an extra 50% for your meal. Will never go back. Spent about $30 for our meal. What a joke. read more

This food is always mediocre and it gave me a stomach ache :( Not worth the money at all. I can cook food at home better than eating here.

Rice bowl used to be way better, I don't know what happened. Their food is ok, clearly not fresh though. For a few extra dollars you can eat somewhere much nicer. A convenient place with good bubble tea and teriyaki sauce. It would be great if they had some good items on the menu instead of a million ok-tasting ones. The staff are generally helpful and it always appears clean. read more

Rice Bowl Delux is located in Callingwood area right by my Orthodontist' office. I visit here every 6-8 weeks just before I visit my Ortho. I think of this place as my "last meal" place - the place I choose to go for my last meal of solids before my teeth are cranked into weird new positions and I am left on a liquid diet for many days. I keep coming back to this place for a couple of reasons. First, the service is always friendly and prompt. The restaurant itself is clean clean clean. Last but not least, the food is GOOD! I really enjoy the Pad Thai, Singapore Noodles and the Vietnamese bowl. The menu here is a decent size so there is always something new to try. read more

This is our go to place for Tom Yum soup! I love how fresh and well prepared all the dishes are. Especially the beef. At other places you get just a crunchy pieces of something but not a lot of beef. Here you can tell it is real beef. Chicken is also very good. They have great bubble tea too! We always call and pickup. Food is always hot and the rice is delicious. read more

The service was very good at the till. I ordered the Korean Chicken bowl but received pork instead. It wasn't spicy at all. Kind of bland. However, it's a better choice than the other options in the Callingwood Market area. I probably won't return. read more

Whenever I work late I usually pop in here for my rice bowl or my Vietnamese Rice noodle bowl and green onion doughnuts/cake. I really love how their food is not pre made and its always fresh. I know wait is a bit long for fast food but if your not in a hurry this place is recommended if you are looking for something authentic Asian with good atmosphere and convenience. They also offer Wi-Fi for you to enjoy while you wait for your food. read more

Been here a few times. Good eats. One of the few Asian fast food joints I eat at. I think I've only had the Teriyaki chicken but there is a expansive menu. Love that they deliever too. I always get in on my roomies order and grab a bubble tea! read more

As regular customers -- we've been getting take-out about twice a month since this location opened -- there's no question the food is very good. The problem is actually getting what you paid for. For the second time in the last couple of months we got home only to discover one of the items we paid for -- pad thai -- was missing. Offer of a store credit on the next order was the only option as delivery was backed up and the food we did get would have been cold anyway. Not good enough. Not close. read more

Went to Rice Bowl Deluxe, thinking that it was the new location to Rice Bowl Express - previously on 88 ave and 149 St. Upon arrival it became clear that it didn't appear to be the same owners, but that's no problem. The restaurants slogan is "we're not fast food, we're good food - fast" and I love that. The food is really good, I recommend the green curry. Secondly, I love the decor, although I didn't come here with a group of friends, it seemed like a great place to come and enjoy some Japanese or Thai food. If your looking for a nicely decorated restaurant and your short on time, consider the Rice Bowl Deluxe, I know I will. read more

The food is mediocre. The meat is very fatty especially the chicken dishes. They do have some good rice meals but their noodle dishes are oily and not worth the price tag. read more

A great place for take out. The ingredients are fresh and everything is made to order. The menu offers lots of choices and is varied, so much so it can be hard to pick. The prices are reasonable. I have gone many times and have always had a good meal. The Thai curry is good and the Korean Chicken also. read more

Pleasantly surprised... Expectations weren't much but the food tasted pretty authentic from an Asian street cart.. or maybe just plain authentically good :) read more

Not bad but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for this place. It was pretty empty when my boyfriend and I came in. We shared a tokatsu curry and it was pretty good. There was a nice spice to it but I think it could have benefited from maybe a bit more seasoning to make it more savory. We also shared a passion fruit green tea with boba. The boba were a bit hard in the center and the tea was good but a little too sweet for my taste. The korean fried chicken wings were a bit oily so I wouldn't recommend those. read more

I love this place! First visit I was unsure of what to order, I ordered the salmon with rice and a bubble tea smoothie. Very tasty. A little expensive but I enjoyed it. Second visit my smoothie wasn't as tasty as the first time, the owner asked me if it was different than last time, I told him it is a little, they then tried to make it just as good as the first time. I was super grateful. I also ordered the salmon noodle bowl, very good. I would recommend this place for sure. This location was the newer one in Old Strathcona :) read more
