This spot came highly recommended by my husbands coworkers and I'm honestly disappointed. The place itself is cute and small, looked pretty clean, and the staff were indeed friendly and checking in on us. There wasn't much of a wait for our food either. Now the food. I can't say the same. There was a kids menu but no kids juices so that was disappointing. I ordered the spicy beef fried rice, the beef did not taste fresh and gave my rice a weird taste. The vegetable fried rice was dry BUT had an enjoyable blend of vegetables. The vegetable Lo mein was not flavored BUT the vegetables were thoroughly cooked. The "Chinese" doughnuts were still a bit doughy inside BUT they were surprisingly still good and I'd say were my favorite for the night. Also to note, there wasn't any prices on the dine-in menu but included on the takeout menu which I thought was different because no one wants to be surprised with their bill. Overall, not a spot I'd be visiting again. read more

I ordered the sesame chicken with white rice, crab rangoons, and plain lo mein -- every single dish was delicious. The sesame chicken had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, the crab rangoons were spot on! The staff was friendly! Very easy to go in and place take out order! Will be back! read more

Rice House - Sesame Chicken Crab Rangoon White rice Plain lo mein - Chinese Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This is my third visit to Rice house. Their food quality, customer service, cleanliness & ambiance hasn't changed one bit. Cost of Lunch specials has been increased from 8.55 to 9.95 USD since my last visit. Not complaining with this current market situation. TBH, I was craving for fried rice and I ended up ordering Beef with Fresh Broccoli (one of their lunch specials) Served with Egg drop soup + Egg roll + Fried rice I have requested extra spice so they gave me chili oil. Everything was good. We didn't wait too long to get our food either. Egg drop soup - 3.5/5 Egg roll - 4/5 Fried rice - 4/5 Beef with Broccoli - 4/5 Ample parking spots at the front of the restaurant. read more

The food was amazing! We went for my sisters birthday. There Crab Rangoon and steamed dumplings are great appetizers. They have great egg drop soup as well. The General Tso's chicken was delicious. The service was good! Our waitress was nice and very persistent with refills and collecting dirty dishes. The restaurant was clean! It's a nice quiet vibe to it. Overall very good. Personally my favorite Chinese restaurant so far! The only downside was that they don't have any desert or anything special for birthdays which is fine! We were full anyways! read more

Rice House - General Tsos non spicy with lo mein. It comes with an egg roll and crab Rangoon. Number D1 on menu - Chinese Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Nice people, good food. This is a little restaurant we like to visit for takeout. We have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and it's fine. Nothing fancy here just simple tables in a cozy space with simple service. I am not sure they do a lot of dine in orders, but overall if eating in you will be ok. Maybe consider it a casual place for a quick meal. Our service has always been good and when we get takeout they often throw in some almond cookies along with the standard fortune cookies. We like to get an assortment of stuff and share amongst the family but some of our highlights are the Beijing crunchy beef and the chicken menu fun noodles. We also like the beef and broccoli and the spicy garlic beef and pork. I do tend to think their sauces get a get a bit sweet at times and I lean more into spicy, but overall I don't mind. The restaurant isn't perfect, but it's good and it hits the spot. Give it a read more

My mom and her neighbor friend went to Rice House on Monday for lunch. She said the place was packed but service was quick. They split the General Tso's lunch special and chicken fried rice, and my mom also ordered wonton soup. Her take: Wonton Soup - Broth was good, but the wontons themselves were disappointing. Wouldn't order again. Chicken Fried Rice - Not memorable. General Tso's - Decent, not great. Sweet but not overly so, and the chicken stayed surprisingly crisp even after coming home as leftovers. She brought me a few pieces of General Tso's and some fried rice, along with one crab rangoon -- tasty but nothing special. For myself, I requested Pork in Spicy Garlic Sauce for carryout. This was the hit of the meal for me. The sauce had good flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciate. It wasn't particularly spicy, but adding sambal and sriracha took it up a notch. The pork was diced into small, easy-to-eat pieces, and the portion size was very generous for the price. Overall, I'd give Rice House 3.5 stars, but the pork in spicy garlic sauce is a solid 4.5 and will definitely be on my regular Chinese takeout rotation. read more

Terrible customer service, the owner has a bad attitude and don't understand what good customer service. I've been a customer for over 15 years, I ordered shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon on a Friday night to go at 930, I got home the food did not seem fresh and the rangoon was over cook, a bit burnt. The place closed at 10pm. I called when they opened, explained to the lady that answered the phone,bought my food back with the receipt. The guy at the register told the owner, she came got the food, came back and told him nothing looks work with the food and to give me a refund!!!! My intention was to just get my order freshly made, but no....as a good paying customer, I will take my good attitude and money somewhere else where I can be treated with respect. To much is given much is required lady! Be wll read more

We recently switched from other Chinese carry out to Rice House and think RH is very good. We've had Yu Hsiang Chicken (always get), Moo Shu chicken (hubby's fav, we order well-done so that cabbage/veggies are softer, less raw), Combination Fried Rice (delish), Mongolian Beef, Szechuan Chicken (like flavor and veggies of Yu Hsiang better). Excellent crab Rangoon. Egg rolls good too. Meat quality seems good. Portions and flavors are good. Great neighborhood place. ***Would love if they could list veggies and sauce type of each dish since so many places differ in what a dish contains. read more

My favorite take out. I drive extra to go there. VERY tasty hot & sour soup. Chicken in black bean sauce is one of my favorites. Don't like their crab Rangoon- it is sweet. Rarely are people eating there, but busy take out and parking is easy. read more

As is our tradition we go out for Chinese food every Christmas Eve, typically to a different restaurant each year. This year we chose Rice House as it is located in close proximity to our church making it easy and efficient to eat in plenty of time for the Christmas Eve service. Unfortunately when we walked in at 7:36 and found only a couple people sitting in what was a small space we were informed the kitchen was closed to dine-in orders - take-out only. We quickly decided to do that and have dinner in our car when a seated customer commented that take-out orders were over an hour wait. Since we didn't have that much time we left and spent the rest of our time searching for another Chinese restaurant that was open. Sadly there were none in the area. Next time we'll call and have a viable backup plan but this was a real disappointment. Since we didn't eat I can't comment on the food but the person at the front desk was calm and polite. That said we'll try it again as overall the reviews are positive. Lesson learned! read more

Great service. All day special is awesome. Beef n broccoli, egg roll, crab rangoon n fried rice hit the spot. We will be back again and again. Love this place it's our go to place for carry out. Hot n Sour soup rocks too read more

This is convienient right down the street. Go-to is chicken and veggies in brown sauce. Not on menu but they gladly make it. Crab Rangoon is some of the best read more

Food was really good. Great service and welcoming atmosphere. Easy access and parking. Will definitely returning soon.

We go here quite often. Last evening will probably be the last time. When you order Lomein and get chow mein, then have to argue with a very rude server about what you ordered just ridiculous. If you can't understand what is being said maybe you are in the wrong business. And then the rudeness on top of it makes it worse. 0 stars! read more

I order from the place everytime I order Chinese food and only this place . I placed a order and when I received my order , it was wrong. I contacted the business as soon as I recieved my order . They told me they would credit my account for his meal. I ordered again today and told me I only get 5.00 credit because I did not bring the food back. They never told me that when I called . This is terrible customer service and I will not return because of this . Treat customers how you want you or your family to be treated . I am not asking for a handout . I am asking for you to make right YOUR mistake . Great job you saved yourself a few bucks and lost a loyal customer. Save your money for a business that actually cares about their customers read more

The meat was mushy the vegetables over cooked. My chicken teriyaki sticks were over cooked. Not sure what happened today but this was nasty for the amount I paid. read more

Rice House - Pepper steak - Chinese Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

We love this local joint! Is the best Chinese food in south Kansas City! And the family is always welcoming and nice! We normally order to go, but the times we stay for lunch special their restaurant is very clean, quiet and welcoming! My daughter love their lo mein, and we love their Beef broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, triple delight and more! If you need a great lunch or dinner, with great flavor and great price, then head to the rice house!!! read more

Food: consistency is always the same. Flavor is good. The use all white meat chicken. I've had the general tso chicken, orange chicken & shrimp, egg foo young both chicken and shrimp, crab rangoon, egg drop soup, and a few other items. Their breading isn't heavy, shrimps are deveined and sauces aren't heavy. Service: everyone I've encountered has been super nice. Always order carryout But the dining area is always clean there are usually a few people eating inside, a small tv available as well. What I like about this restaurant over the others. The food is simply good portions are great and I never have to wait for my food when I order. If they say 15, it will be ready. read more

Hot and sour soup was amazing! Blackbean chicken and kung pao chicken were great. First time ordering here, but would come back in a heartbeat. read more

they forgot the sweet and sour on the sweet and sour chicken. everytime their fried rice tastes like the oil they use hasn't been changed in weeks. like genuinely health department needs to check their fryer. food is awful quality. just go to yummy chinese. read more

Fast, hot food that tastes good. Portions are HUGE so be careful how much you order. Staff is friendly. Place is clean.

Got lots of food for family definitely recommend all food was great and they even gave us some free donuts

We have eaten here for many years. Tonight was the last night. Wrong orders, inedible food and then charged for someone else's order. On several occasions we have had to drive back to get missing items or wrong order-what a pain. read more

They have great egg drop soup. I ordered house fried rice yesterday & it was not hot but hard & dry as though it had been sitting around the kitchen for awhile. I don't think I will ever order that again. They have a female waitress that is not very friendly at all. read more

We have gone here for years and they are really not deserving of your patronage. Something has changed. Tonight our order was wrong and at checkout I was told the wrong amount/order. When I called I was questioned about the error like it was my fault. The order is the order. Just done. read more

Had the beef fried rice, good flavor. Husband had the lo mein he said he's never had one that had veggies in it he really liked it. I would go back. read more

I normally would not take the time to leave a review but my families experience at rice house was terrible. Portions were small. When we found hair in the rice they became defensive and said it wasn't theirs even though it was buried in the rice and did not match our hair. We simply wanted a new rice and perhaps an apology. Food is average at best and service is terrible. Won't be back! read more

Our favorite, and local, Chinese Restaurant, China Dragon, in the Red Bridge Center, happened to be closed the other evening. So, I went to Rice House at West Blue Ridge Blvd & State Line Rd. I ordered one of my favorite Chinese meals. Vegetable Egg Foo Yung. I thought it has to be good. How do you mess up veggies, right? Wow! Was I ever wrong. And, disappointed. It was one of the worst Chinese dinners I have ever had. Anywhere. I would say that if there were a Chinese Egg Foo Yung frozen dinner. That is what it might taste like. And to make the experience even a little worse, the cost of this meal at Rice House is even 40% higher. A very, very disappointing experience. read more

Yo, this is the best Chinese takeout I've had in the whole city, I swear. We ordered a variety of items. Pineapple fried rice, shrimp fried rice, vegetable lo mein, orange chicken, and crab rangoon. All were phenomenal! I'd never had pineapple fried rice, but it was something I'd for sure order again- that salty sweet combo is something to write home about. The chicken they use here is top notch! I've had a lot of questionable chicken at some American Chinese restaurants but this was great, all white meat. The mustard sauce they provide is also homemade! 10/10 will be back. The service is a little cut and dry but the food definitely made me want to come back. read more

We had a very pleasant dinner with a friend at this little hole in the wall. I was concerned about when there were no cars in the parking lot but I didn't need to be. They have tons of options! Their homemade duck sauce is amazing, veggie spring rolls delicious, and food was excellent. Prices were reasonable too! Very enjoyable time with great service and excellent food!! read more

Wow! This place blows the other takeout Chinese restaurants in the area out of the water. The takeout is fresh and delicious. The menu is full of your typical takeout essentials, but also feature a few less common items. Tonight we dined on the orange chicken, kung pao chicken, sizzling black pepper beef, and shrimp fried rice. The portions were sizable and the shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables were super fresh. The orange chicken, my oldest's favorite, had a sweet garlic-orange glaze. The Kung Pao was spicy and featured fresh green beans and peanuts. The sizzling black pepper beef was similar to a beef and vegetables but had a generous addition of black pepper--it was very good. The star of the night was the shrimp fried rice. There were at least a dozen large shrimp, perfectly cooked in a very flavorful fried rice with onions, eggs, and a perfect amount of soy sauce. We were way too hungry to take pictures, but believe me, it looked just as good as it tasted. Five stars, absolutely recommend this place. read more

So far, been here twice, and have not been disappointed. great service and cheap chinese american food.

When ordering i specifically told the person that there is a seafood/all fish allergy. I ordered meat won tons (pork) but instead was given crab rangoons. Inedible, they went in the trash. Person at the counter was rude. I also asked that veggies to be put in separate container as noodles. They refused. I asked are they cooked together or just on top. They said cooked separately and put on top. So again i asked, can you just put them in a separate container then, they again refused. They said cooked separately but we put in same box. Another person came up to pick up their order as i waited. They told the person we didn't get what we ordered, they said we ordered this larger items. The person asked them, how many people eating? You have enough food. Rude, they want what they ordered and paid for. Will never go back. Don't go here. read more

It's been 14 months and Rice House is still at the same bright, cheery, clean restaurant it was when they opened last February. I've found most American Chinese restaurants deteriorate over time where you can barely stand to even get takeout. Food quality has stayed consistent as well, they are still using Napa and bok choy vs moving to celery. So I'm upping my rank to 4 stars. Still, you need to realize this rank is based on understanding that they are a small strip mall place serving standard American Chinese fare, but you can get a craving for that, too. read more

Today is Feb 22nd 2023. I get halfway through my food and decide it's time to open the can of Mountain Dew I bought from here only to realize it expired March 7th 2022. Food wasn't terrible, nothing memorable either. Service was okay. But a 1 year old expired can of soda just sounds nasty. Glad I checked first. Imagine how old the ones in the back are read more

Rice House - Chinese Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Best Rangoon in town. It's our go to spot for take out Chinese. We always get more than we need.

This is a tough one. The food is good, and the price is decent. However, the service is unfriendly and unwelcoming. I went there a couple of times and got a to-go order. Every person I encountered, who worked there, was unfriendly. On my second visit, the person behind the counter/cashier, didn't even want to hand me my food, he pointed & told me to get it myself. I did like the beef with vegetables & steamed rice, it came in a combo with couple of sids $9+, which was really good. Unfortunately, service is as important to me as the quality of food so I would have hard time recommending this restaurant. But just to be fair, if friendless & curtsy is not too important to you, you should try the beef with vegetables. Thanks HA read more

Still quick, still delicious, and still recommend! Perfect place to order to-go. Recommendations: chicken mein fun (thin, rice noodles), beef lo mein, Beijing crispy beef, crab rangoon. read more

GAS PACK. I been here 10 times in the last few weeks. I know, I spend entirely too much money on food. EBT ME PLEASE.

Fantastic! We have been going here for years. The food is always great and reasonably. They are always friendly, dining room is nice but take out is easy as well. read more
