I've been a patron of rice for a long while and eating Chinese food in this state much longer. The lo mein is fantastic, the tempura is my personal favorite and who can go wrong with some house fried rice. The customer service is friendly and they recognize regulars. read more

I love their special on Sushi. I wish I could order more from the menu but I definitely recommend their Sushi special!! Always fresh and very flavorful!! read more

We ate lunch here during a weekday. Small, but a nice atmosphere. Service was right on spot, menu was large with average pricing, miso soup was delicious, but.... The rolls were completely bland. I ordered a simple spicy tuna and it wasn't even recognizable as a spicy tuna roll. It tasted like mostly rice and seaweed even though I could see that tuna was used. I was surprised. I also ordered a Boston roll. That too tasted the same.... No flavor. My husband's 2 rolls were yet the same, and his were two veggi rolls. I can only recommend this restaurant if you were to try the Chinese food offered, as the sushi was forgettable, sadly. read more

Rice Fusion - Japanese Near Me - Dover, Delaware

One of the best sushi places in the area, fresh and many options. Lunch specials and regular dinner menu are great also.

Decor/Cleanliness: Very modern, very nice. The lighting is perfect. Some colorful accent lighting at the sushi bar but not too much to be tacky. Very clean floors and tables were all clean and set with a napkin and chopsticks awaiting their next guest. Food: I started with a seasonal special - Peking Duck Roll - these rolls were fantastically wrapped in Indian bread that was lightly grilled and they sat on a drizzle of plum sauce. No need for soy sauce here. Can't say enough about these rolls. For my entree I ordered generals tso chicken and substituted my white rice with fried rice. The chicken had a very light and airy batter on them which set them apart from other generals chicken I have had. It was served with broccoli that was beautifully green and fresh. Whoever is cooking in that kitchen sure does know how to perfectly blanch broccoli. The fried rice was no frills fried rice. I got it with chicken which was not fatty or stringy and the fried rice had onions and peas in it. I usually like egg and string beans in my fried rice and was slightly disappointed when this did not however it did have a unique smokey flavor that I did enjoy very much. Overall if you are looking for decent Chinese/Japanese while you in the Dover area you should definitely make sure you stop in here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Rice is your go to if you're in the West Dover area and don't want to drive to Yukon's. If you're dining in, the seating is usually slammed packed and the dining room is outdated. They offer an even mix of Chinese and Japanese. I'll use this place for take out but would never dine in. read more

Rice Fusion - Hairy Crab Roll with no avocado - Japanese Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Food was quality and delicious, just need to add sweet tea and chicken wings to the menu.

Great food every time I go. Whether I'm dining in or carrying out. Very good Sushi with fair priced lunch specials. But if that's not your thing then you can always go with the classic white guy choice of General Tso chicken with fried rice. Can go wrong either way in my opinion. Ps. Wonton soup is fantastic. But if you're doing takeout, be sure to ask for the Dine in wontons. They're smaller and makes for a much easier bite of soup read more

Food was well seasoned and well portioned. A mistake was made on my to-go-order, but it was promptly corrected(less than a 5 min wait on a side dish.) read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday and was happily surprised at what a great lunch I had. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. The lunch prices were very reasonable. It was clean and nicely decorated. I ordered shrimp tempura bento box and 2 extra California rolls. Everything was delicious! Service was so fast that I believe you could sit down and eat for your lunch break without going back to work late. The miso soup was hot and delicious and the shrimp was perfect. If you order a soda you get a cold can with a glass. I love this because I don't like ice in my drink. Much better than a fountain soda. I don't care for their house salad dressing but that's just a personal preference. Also yesterday was unseasonably warm and it was hot inside. I don't like to be hot when I eat out. The California rolls were loosely wrapped so when you use chopsticks they fall apart. That was annoying but they were fresh and delicious otherwise. In summary, I will definitely go back. read more

I don't know how the set up behind the "sushi bar" doesn't bother the patrons. A set up like that would in a major city's restaurant would surely not bring in return customers. First off, that cart rack with metal buckets and saran wrap covered/half-covered/not covered just honestly bothers me to no end. On top of that I had to ask for another glass of iced water as there were a few white floaties in my water that almost made me lose my appetite. I ordered a couple sushi rolls that were above average in presentation and average in taste. The price point is way too high for a restaurant that is set up like this. They really need to clean up the open area as it's almost unprofessional. read more

This is my go to sushi place. Like i have the number saved in my phone! The cashier knows me by name lol The prices are great and so is the food. I don't mind spending money here ever. They are super fast and super nice. Love them . My faves are the steamed gyoza, spicy sushi roll, crunchy tiger roll, and crab rangoons!!! read more

Amazing food, they have this amazing spicy ramen my top tier plate. Also the sushi it's phenomenal words can't describe how enjoy the food and the restaurant read more

I haven't had the chance to have a sit down meal here so it's only been delivery for me but wow! The food is incredible, and that's after the drive and wait time. Things are packed very neatly and efficiently as well. Definitely try this place out. read more

Went in on a Friday night and it wasn't that busy. Only a few people their. My girlfriend got the pork egg roll which she said was very tasty. She also had sesame chicken, white rice, and broccoli. I had a little bit and I thought it was tasty. Tasted like your traditional chicken, rice, and broccoli. She also ordered hot tea, which tasted like a hot cheerio honestly. She wasn't a fan but I thought it was alright. I ended up ordering the miso soup. Had a stronger onion base but I still thought it was good. Then I went with what fellow yelpers said and got the crunchy tiger roll. That was very good. Basic roll not hand rolled. Had lobster, cream cheese, avocado, some crunchy topping with a semi spicy sauce. I thought it tasted great. When I go again I would order that again for sure. Also prices are moderate depending on what you order. Was overall a pleasant night here. read more

As the other reviews read, Rice is a small restaurant, not easy to find, but worth the trip if you are looking for high quality Japanese food. The service here was very attentive, with no waiting of any kind. The server was always available. The first thing I had was "Gyosa" which is Japanese dumplings filled with pork. They were tasty and with more meat than wrapper. The wrapper was very thin, so it did not take away from the taste of the pork. Good sauce to dip. The miso soup was good also, perhaps average, and the salad was scarce but good. I had a sushi roll called the "Dover roll", which has spicy tuna, eel and cream cheese wrapped with seaweed and rice, all of which is then deep fried. Deep fried rolls are good. For the main meal I had Teriyaki shrimp. The sauce was mixed with fried sautéed onions which made that sauce very tasty and enjoyable. I added the sauce to the rice and vegetables to create a nice mix of flavors. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to those looking for some great service and food. read more

BLAND BLAND BLAND. Service was the only thing here that I'd commend. Food was so unbelievably bland and disappointing. Ginger wasn't fresh, and it looked like it was turning bad. No low-sodium soy sauce. Miso-soup tasted instant-made. The salad dressing was bland. The wrapper around all our sushi kept peeling, and our rolls were being undone, right in front of our eyes. Rice with Teriyaki-this and Teriyaki-that were not worth it. The chinese food is completely overpriced, and you can get the same dishes at any other typical carry-out. Save your money and go else where for quality food! read more

First time visiting after hearing so much about this place. I dined in for lunch and was very hungry. First thing I noticed was how small yet quaint the place was. It was very clean and contemporary as well, but if they were to get a rush you might have to wait on a table. That was not the case for me however, I was fortunate enough to be seated immediately. The staff was prompt and attentive and took our orders right away. I love Rolls that have spicy tuna Avocado and spicy mayo and the Romantic roll fit the bill perfectly. Bit awkward name considering I was dining with a buddy and not feeling the least bit romantic. Being as hungry as I was, I also ordered a lunch special consisting of fried rice and a chinese beef and vegetable dish. I also ordered a miso soup. So here's my opinion. The miso soup was a bit bland, it was fresh and hot yet it lacked depth. It almost tasted like an onion soup that Japanese steak houses serve yet still bland. The fried rice was not good at all, the rice felt hard as if it were under cooked. The beef and vegetables were decent if you like Chinese take out style dishes where they give you ginormous chunks of bell peppers and other veggies that are bigger than the meat, the taste was decent. Now the sushi which is what the place is famous for, and rightfully so. The roll was very large and I really didn't need to order the extra dish (and wish I hadn't). The fish was fresh, It has the perfect blend of spice, sweetness, and creaminess from the mayo. It was outstanding and I will definitely only order the sushi the next time I go. I definitely will go back read more

I went to get sushi and I was not let down. I got a total of seven rolls. Salmon skin, tuna fantasy,hot lover roll, Romantic roll, sea world roll, under the sea, and one more that I can't remember the name of haha. They were all delicious and I couldn't pick a favorite. Their sushi rolls vary from the raw sashimi to cooked tempura rolls. They have something for everyone. Service was great, the waiters and hostess were all very polite. I will definitely be back! read more

Rice Fusion - They have a great assortment of sushi options. From raw sashimi to cooked. - Japanese Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Went here for dinner around 9:30 and they closed the seating and ask do us to take a takeaway. We ordered fried rice and shrimp tempura roll sushi. Both things were just ok. Rice were too hard and old tasting. Sushi was just ok. I will not return. read more

The food was bland & uneventful. Did not enjoy & will not return. The food was edible but nothing to say was excellent. Sushi was not the most fresh in the Dover area. I highly recommend going to a different Sushi restaurant if you have had excellent Sushi in other areas in the world. read more

Tucked away in a strip mall, next to a Rite Aid, you'll find one of the few good restaurants (if not the best) in Dover. There's not a lot to choose from in this small town, but be glad that Rice is one of those options. The restaurant itself makes you forget that you're in an unassuming strip mall in Dover, Delaware. The space is laid out well, you're not bothered by the incoming crowd and the interior finishes provide a peaceful dining atmosphere. It's a small space, so large groups would be difficult to fit and you probably want to find a sitter for the kids. The food is very fresh and very flavorful. The rolls are masterfully prepared and the service is always friendly and professional. There when you need them, not there when you don't. You can't go wrong with any of the menu items - Chinese or Japanese, hot or cold. They're all very good! The lunch specials cannot be beat. Out of a number of rolls, you can do a "Pick Two" or "Pick Three" lunch for $7 and $10 respectively. read more

Decent Chinese food and sushi. You certainly wouldn't expect this in an older strip mall. Service was very good and they even made a special order for me. Just a suggestion....expand into the vacant space next door so they have more seating. read more

Was in town for business, I would usually drive away from a place advertised as "Chinese & Japanese restaurant" but this place was recommended by a co-worker for having good sushi so I had to give it a try. Dining area has 10-12 tables and is rather small. The sushi bar seats 6-8 people and unlike most sushi places isn't the best seat in the house. Young polite staff, service was friendly and sushi chef rather shy and not chatty. Menu is kept simple, they have all the popular rolls, sashimi and a few "specialities". Having tried other places around town, I think it was good sushi, but wasn't too impressed with the size of the rolls. 24 pieces, miso soup and a Sapporo will cost you $26 if your date doesn't show up read more

Bland tasting sushi. Small portions. Pretty overpriced. Take out took forever while there was no one there. Not going back

I'm hooked on Rice! Everything I've had there has been an experience, a journey back to Japan....I love it!

Restaurant had a stale odor. Staff was very nice. They use crab sticks instead of real crab which is a sign.

I drove to Rice from Virginia on the recommendation of a friend. It was Christmas day, I my family was traveling, so I decided against sitting around the house and for a quick road trip. I admit I'm a bit of a foodie, so this kind of drive for dinner at one restaurant is something fairly routine for me, but could give others weak knees. My first thought when my friend told me it was really good was "How good can a shopping mall chinese joint really be? They're all the same." Was I ever wrong. I got the General Tso's Chicken. While its a bit of a cliche, and most foodies will laugh me off Yelp when they see that's what I ordered, I dare say that was the best order of General Tso's I've EVER had. Beyond the General Tso's, I also got Pork Eggrolls, Chicken Fried Rice, and my dining companion got a similarly wide variety of food. While I can't speak for what he had, he agreed that his food was responsible for pushing the bar up just a notch for what he expects the next time he goes for Chinese. The only reason for four stars rather than five is my Chicken fried rice. While I'm not really a fan of traditionally greasy Shopping Mall Chinese food, the chicken used in the fried rice, and the fried rice itself were both a bit too dry for my liking. Beyond that I'd have no qualms returning...even if it did mean another five hour round trip. read more

Very nice , My boyfriend & I love it . Great LITTLE sit in place for Chinese food that's very inexpensive ; Just wish the service was a little better .. Just seem like the waiters are anti social due to lack of knowing english .. But WONDERFUL !! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch while visiting the area. Wife and I both got the lunch special General Tso's chicken and both of us enjoyed it. We also got their Crab Ragoons and they were really good and came with plenty for an appetizer. We would definitely go back if we are in the area again. Also grabbed their Bento box with Terayaki chicken for the MIL and she said it was great. read more

I have never been a fan of Chinese but I got take out from here for my family and both of my boys said it was the best Chinese food they've had locally! It made me want to try a piece and they chicken was so delicious and flavorful. read more

Certainly amongst the best sushi Dover has to offer, Rice is the de facto sushi restaurant for the city. Understated, elegant, and underpopulated when we visited, it was easy to grab a table for dinner. For an appetizer, I decided to throw caution to the wind and order a special, the curiously-named "rock tuna." I was not aware such a variety of tuna existed, and turns out I was correct, because the resulting dish was actually a very ornate version of fried tuna meatballs. Definitely good by meatball standards, though it's not really what I'm looking for in a sushi restaurant. I did end up grabbing a pair of tuna nigiri that was as good as I was expecting it to be, my main course was an udon noodle dish that hit the spot darn well. It's easy to see why noodle dishes are so popular in Japan - the warm, complex broths, and the slurping... so much slurping... One of my dining compatriots mentioned his disappointment that the tuna in his crazy roll was diced rather than whole, and I admit that that is a kinda lame stunt for a sushi place to pull, though I didn't taste it nor do I know the circumstances surrounding the roll. Regardless, there's no doubt Rice is definitely near the top of places to visit if you're in Dover for a week or two. read more
