We ordered delivery, the woman on the phone told us it'd be 25 min, max and it took nearly an hour and a half to get our food. By the time we got it, it was cold, congealed, and gross. We called at the 45 min mark to check about our food and the man on the phone was short and snappy, saying they were "slammed" so it'd "obviously" be more than an hour. I would choose anywhere other than here. The food was flavorless and bland. A waste of $60. read more

The food is good, but the guy that answers the phone and does all interaction with the customer is horrible. He has a terrible attitude. Is like he hates dealing with customers and he hates life. Because of him, not the food, maybe look somewhere else. Sometimes there's a lady taking order is she's great. Definitely the guy does not know how to treat customers. read more

Food is pretty damn good and the staff is very attentive and nice , the place is small but it's interior design has some sort of calmness to it so it fits in perfectly! Would definitely recommend!! read more

Excellent Chinese restaurant, and, best of all, they do not use MSG at all in any of their cooking, nor in any of their sauces! I stumbled upon this place by accident while staying in the Midvale area for a few days, and I am very impressed. Based upon my experience with several take-out orders, I can say that the service from the counter staff is excellent, the menu is extensive, and the quality of the food is very high. BTW, the staffers are also very friendly. However, by far the most important thing to me is the fact that the restaurant is 100% MSG-free, and that even the sauces that they use are 100% MSG-free. I will continue getting take-out orders from this fine restaurant for the remainder of my stay in the area, and during future stays in this area. read more

We have eaten here for years. They've always made delivery fast too! We get the Pork LoMein (extra spicey) and the Sweet & Sour Chicken w/ Ham fried rice. Super yummy. The wontons are our favorite, but the potstickers are always our other choice. The soups delicious, we always get the Hot & Spicey.. read more

Sad, sad day here. Rice King used to be my go-to Chinese delivery place for many years. Sadly, I am hanging up my menu and deleting the number out of my phone. I have just had one too many bad experiences here with the food, the service, and the delivery time. Like the other reviewers I too have had to wait far to long for delivery. This last time I waited 2 hours after being told it would be 45 minutes. The food arrived cold, and just unappetizing. I actually had to call and tell them if they were not at my door in 10 minutes I would cancel my order. They were there ... the food was just bad this time around. Our family has been going here and ordering delivery for years. We have seen it through restaffing, remodels, and new owners. I used to love the orange chicken, cashew chicken, beef with broccoli, and walnut shrimp. My family had other favorites such as the kung poa chicken and fried rice. This last time I ordered the beef low mien. It was flavorless, it smelled of rotten cabbage, and the rice that came with it was under cooked. This to me is a travesty. So I am sorry, Rice King. You just lost a former loyal customer. Now I just need to find a new, good, delivery place locally. read more

Perhaps nothing more than this second sentence best describes this restaurant. This is heavily Americanized Chinese-ish food. That should probably tell you everything you need to know, but why have few words when you can have many? The hot and sour soup here, like the oolong tea, was acceptable. Had I not used their bathroom (which badly needs work, honestly), I frankly would probably have just left once I got and saw the menu, but I know those things cost money and whether it is just a gas station or somewhere else, if I use their facilities, I almost always feel somewhat obligated to extend some patronage. So, I endured what smelled like fairly fresh paint (evidently they are doing some sort of remodel or are new, not sure which) and settled down for what I was hoping was a very quick lunch. In that regard, they were stellar. The food came out fast, amazingly fast almost, but given the physical heat, it was probably more like microwave fast. Equally stellar was the hostess/waitress, who saved this place from a sub-3 review. As to the food, I sort of chose at random something that seemed like it might be palatable, which was pork and snow peas. I'm really hating the trend of Chinese places using compressed meat for almost everything (ala Sampan) and this place was no exception. Most of the pork was inedible, the sauce more like a brown gravy than actual sauce, the carrots were sweet, the water chestnuts I don't eat as a rule, which left the bamboo, the snow peas and the rice, which was all pretty good. With a name like Rice King, one would expect the rice to be on par and it thankfully was. I knew what I was in for going in (or staying for, I guess, more accurately) once I saw the menu and I suppose rated strictly against other Americanized Chinese-type places, this is maybe on the upper end, but everything, from the decor on, is very clearly geared towards Americans. If that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy this tremendously. If not, and I generally do not, this is something that was ok once, in a pinch, but I probably won't repeat. read more

Delivery service definitely left much to be desired. The food took about 1 hour and 20 minutes to get here, after being told it would take 45 minutes. I do want to add that this place is only about a 7 minute drive from me. Once here, the food was a little cold and we didn't get the egg rolls we ordered. Instead of agreeing to take the egg rolls off the bill, they insisted on sending them back out and having us wait another 30 minutes. Food wasn't gross, but it was absolutely not worth the wait. The lack of service completely killed this place for me. read more

I can't help but laugh when reading some of these reviews. It's almost as though some people expect 5-star cuisine Asian food from a chinese delivery restaurant. When the average food shows up, they get disappointed and their inner Iron Chef judge comes out. Get over yourself. Realistically, you're getting what you pay for; cheap chinese food. The food can be described as something between not bad and not excellent. The delivery times aren't consistent. Expect to wait at least an hour to an hour and a half. From my experiences with them, it is seldom they will make the delivery within 30-45 minutes as they claim. Other than that, I can't complain. read more

I read the other reviews, and it's all about your taste and what you know of quality. I've been to probably fifty or more Chinese places around SLC. This one ranks in the lower quarter. It's not a bad place, but it's not particularly good. They were fast on the delivery time, which seems that I got one of their better days. I ordered the standard Americanized dishes of General Tso's chicken and house Lo mien. At first the GTC was pretty good, but the further along I went, the more lower quality chicken and preparation I ran into. The lo mien noodles weren't that bad, the beef, shrimp and chicken they used wasn't very good. The beef was very fatty and spongy, tasting as if it was a muscle. The shrimp stank of fish, and the chicken was hard and fibrous. The over quality was low. It appears that they defrosted everything before hand in the microwave, and because of that, the chicken was cooked on defrost and they threw it in the mix. That is what creates that hard, dry, fibrous texture to chicken. I would say there are a lot better places around, and a few better that do delivery than here. If you're ok with mediocre, lower quality food, then have at it. read more

Recently tried this place again after our usual Chinese turned awful. There is some room for improvement but overall this is pretty good typical Chinese. The Kung pow sauce is amazing I would just like a little more heat. Even the items marked spicy really are not. I asked last time to have it at medium but there will still no heat. That aside though the veggies are fresh, they sauces are well developed and have lots of flavor and they are quick and friendly with delivery. The price is great and you get large portions. It's our go to close to us now. read more

I love there pricing in general. I love their lemon chicken. Their chow mein is good but not the best. Very flavorful but not a fan of the bigger noodles I like the smaller ones better. My boyfriend got the curry chicken. He said it tasted like ramon noodles. It was really watery and sorta bland. Overall I will be coming back because it is affordable and mostly everything I've tried was great but I would steer away from the curry chicken. I fed 5 people for $34 read more

*Affordable *Delivers *Open on Sundays *Best Wontons *Delicious Entrees *Friendly Staff Love Rice King! read more

For quick lunch is ok ... But the food is just so-so... Nothing really special. I ordered lunch special of General Tso chicken. It comes in a good size. My wife ordered egg foo Yong, but it's not that nice, so she didn't finish it. We came in because Ganesh is closed on Monday ... read more

This has become our go to for Chinese. The food is fresh, the veggies crunchy like they were just cooked and not sitting in a pot for hours. We are older and don't eat as much as we used to, but we get three meals each from our order. They offer free delivery and are always way faster than the estimated time on the website. read more

Really good food, atmosphere wasn't so great. It is your basic chineese menu. The staff was so so as far as politeness. The food was really tasty too, and the tea was great as well! read more

I've had food from here three times, and I haven't been disappointed. The food tastes really good and I think the lunch combos are and amazing deal @ 5.95 a plate. I would say great bang for buck Chinese food. I haven't been inside as I've ordered delivery but it is free delivery so I don't complain. Keep in mind is a minimum order of $15 for delivery though. I haven't been disappointed by their food yet! read more

Our family orders take-out all the time from here. The crab Rangoons are the best in town along with their pork low mein. Haven't had anything from here that I didn't enjoy. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I work in the Union Park center near the restaurant and this is the place i go when i need a Chinese lunch special and it hits the spot. The portions are on the larger side (especially the fried rice) and the drinks are included. The other reviewers comments on the decor are correct. i have not ordered take out. Nevertheless, for the price point/quality/quantity, I will be continuing my patronage. I just hope they don't use skateboards to hold up their woks! read more

Very good delivery Chinese! Chicken is white meat and high quality. Hot and Sour soup is the best around. Don't be fooled by the other low scoring reviews. My wife and I are very picky and we love this place. read more

Really poor quality chicken. Won't be returning. The fried rice was okay. It was really salty which I kinda like but it didn't have much flavor other than that. It was just like white rice doused in soy sauce. read more

The rice king has awesome food and for a pretty good price, but they are thieves and a bunch of cheats! Recently, I ordered online, and after an hour and a half of waiting I called to see where my food was, and they said they hadn't seen my order. They told me that they would get it to me right away, and then after waiting for three hours I finally got my food. I decided that this was a one time mishap, and ordered from them again, and three days later when I checked my bank account, they had charged me more than what my receipt said, even with the tip. On top of that, I called in to talk to the manager, and it took me days to get ahold of him, and when I did, he blew it off like this was all my fault. The food may be good, but the service is so beyond terrible that I won't waste a dime more there again if it means being stolen from again! read more

Room for small improvement but went back for the second time and will keep going back as well

Thought this may be a good place to try since they seem to pack in a lunch crowd. We arrived at 6:30 on Friday night and the place was empty. Against our better judgement, we went in and sat down. We weren't acknowledged by anyone for 5 minutes but were ultimately seated. Service was awful- painfully slow and unfriendly. Ordered basic "Chinese" fare: orange chicken, sesame beef, ham fried rice, chicken lo-mein. The only edible thing was the rice- the rest was awful!! Chicken was undercooked, nasty thigh meat, orange chicken was bathed in neon red sweet and sour sauce with an orange peel on top (doesn't qualify). A complete waste of time and money- go elsewhere. read more

I really like the food. The fried rice is not overly salty. Love their soups. Sometimes staff aren't especially friendly though.

Nothing special. Good and bad. Not too good, but not too bad. But, their lunch combination is only $5.95!!! For that price, I don't complain. read more

Arrived in town after a 4 hour flight from Michigan. Plain and simple, food was terrible. We ordered take out and ate in our hotel room. Food was hot and the portion was large...the price was HIGH! This food might be representative to SLC Chinese offerings, however I am used to Chinese with some flavor....yuck!o read more

Great Chinese food! I had the sesame chicken, pork fried rice, and dumplings. Everything was delicious!! Delivery took less that 30 minutes, everything was fresh and hot, both the person that took my order and the delivery driver were very nice. I'm glad I didn't listen to those bad reviews. read more

Good was at a fair price, hearty servings, fresh taste. Probably the best delivery in the area.

We always get food delivered from Rice King, we've never ate at the restaurant. Food is good for SLC chinese food. Any where that serves 'ham fried rice' isn't going to be authentic. Delivery service is good. Our favorites are the shrimp chow mein, won ton soup, & pot stickers. read more

If your looking for cheap, fast, hot and fresh Chinese food- this is the place. My husband and I really appreciate the fast delivery service and the big portions. A nice delicious break from Panda Express. read more

This little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant is my favorite in Utah. They have excellent food at great prices. Egg drop soup is the best ever. Quiet little place, you don't ever feel unwelcome or unwanted. Looking for good food? You won't go wrong eating at the fort Union rice King. read more

I love this place, me and my wife come here all the time. and totally worth it!!! We have eaten here so often, we are sick of it, and that took over a year!!! read more

The menu describes the General's Chicken as "lightly crisped" what I received was chicken covered in thick uncooked batter. I called to ask them to send it to me lightly crisped and they told me that soggy is to be expected. read more

Rice King - Soggy breading - Chinese Near Me - Midvale, Utah

I'm not the biggest fan of Americanized Chinese in general; but the delivery is fast, and the dishes I have tried, I've personally found to be decent. ... I usually get noodles, something with seafood, or something vegetarian. They have not skimped on the seafood in my dishes so far, so that makes me happy as well. My boyfriend seems happy with their sweet and sour chicken. read more

Ive never ordered delivery but I have visited Rice King several times for their lunch special. Can't beat the price! The egg drop soup is really good and the ham fried rice is good too (large portions). I would equate the quality to a good fast food restaurant. The food is always served quickly, and they even give free refills on drinks. It is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, so don't expect impressive aquariums or fancy decorations. Would definitely recommend read more

This was our first visit here. My family was excited to try it. Unfortunately it was the WORST Chinese I have ever had!!!!!!!! The chicken was so disgusting. It was old and in huge chunks and hardly any veggies. The atmosphere was irritating, not relaxing at all. Had a sports game playing. Not inviting and they didn't even serve tea. Also the egg drop soup was way to salty and had no veggies. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! read more

ordered the orange beef and generals chicken both tasted of noting but sugar they say spicy on the generals don't fool your self its not i could make a loli pop out of it. and if you've ever eaten an orange well that is all the orange beef is a good dish has depth. now i wanst expecting much here but when both breaded dishes are soggy and mono tone as this go find some other food. save your money read more

Ordered delivery tonight, the driver got lost and our food took 1.5 hours to arrive, so when it finally did all the food was cold. All of this could have been overlooked if the food was good, it wasn't. We basically threw 90 % of it in the trash. The lo mein noodles were bland and not cooked correctly. We ordered Sichuan Pork and I think I got sweet and sour pork but the breading was so thick and mushy I couldn't eat enough to actually figure out what it was. The pot stickers were soggy and gross as well. $30 lesson on where not to eat. read more
