Great made to order Chinese food, that fits our budget way more than sesame inn. I love their egg drop soup and sweet and sour soup. Can feed the whole family for under 40 dollars. The owners are very accommodating and the service is fast read more

I stopped by here this past Saturday with my wife and twins for dinner. My wife and I discovered rice king at the start of the pandemic whenever I was unable to get my monthly Chinese fix in Hartford. What made me order from here was actually their "no MSG" slogan on the menu. The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall near the intersection of backcock and Thompson in the north hills. The shop itself is small and may have had seating but since the pandemic only has a partition inside where you pick up your food. Out of the 50-100 times I have been here (that's not an exaggeration) my food has been ready every time with only 1 exception and I have only had problems with my order once as well. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the general tsaos combination platter while my wife went with the chicken and broccoli and we also ordered a large wonton soup. My normal order here is the Szechuan chicken but by this point I have ordered most of the menu from the garlic chicken to the happy family and even the mapo tofu. It's all very American Chinese food which is what I expected and good if thats what you like. On this past time I really enjoyed my general Tsaos chicken as it had a thin breading on the outside and then the sauce itself was both spicy and sweet. My wife and I also love their egg rolls here and order one every time we come. While they can be greasy at times, the outside is always super crispy while the inside is hot and flavorful. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As a matter of a fact I have again and again and Rice King is my top American Chinese food restaurant to go to in the North Hills. read more

Family owned restaurant with super friendly vibes. The food was super delicious! Our waiter was incredibly friendly, helpful, and handsome.

This is some of the best Chinese food in the area. I come here eve week and always have excellent service at a reas price i definitely recommend trying the sesame chicken if you ever get the chance. read more

Food was made fast and was some of the best Chinese Iv had outside of the city! I will be back!

It was the worst I ever had. I ordered General Tso chicken, fried rice and an egg roll (lunch). Listed on menu for $8.50. When I opened it at home...6 pieces of chicked, STEAMED rice and 2 broccoli florets. The chicken was stringy and I swear had feathers in the coating, the broccoli was overcooked and also stringy. I ended up throwing it away. Oh, when I looked at the receipt I was charged $10.08. Very disappointed and a bit angry. Not good! read more

Food was ok. Nothing special for the cost of take out. But there is probably not many exceptional Asian restaurants in Pittsburgh.

We used to go here regularly but I think they switched ownership and it's been okay ever since so we have branched out to try other restaurants. read more

I've eaten at this place numerous times. Don't get me wrong the food always tastes good but how it's prepared is just ridiculous! I got steamed dumplings and I swear it was like I ate a dough ball with little meat. I had to throw most of them away. I got shrimp with snow peas and barely had any shrimp but a crap ton of chess nuts which I'm not a big fan of. Then every time I order a shrimp roll the proportion of the rooms are inconsistent. Last one I ordered was small other times they were big. Also I go an order of Crispy shrimp which the shrimp were coated with a ton a dough again. read more

Rice King is back! New ownership. New chef(s). Food is incredible! Price is more than affordable. Can't say enough about how tasty the food is. Also customer service is really up there too. Packed and wrapped for the trip home almost lovingly. Really impressed with the change here. Way to go guys! Keep it up! read more

My family stopped going to Rice King a while ago . The food had really gone down hill. We heard that it had changed hands. Read the reviews and decided to try it again. Big mistake! No one in house liked the food. You could see the grease on the egg rolls. The food didn't even look appetizing. We will not go back read more

Let me start by saying that I am easily grossed out by gooey or soggy chinese food. I have had take out from here 10+ times over the past two years. It is ALWAYS cooked well and consistently flavored. The fried rice is better than most fancy chinese places that I have been. I always order the chicken and broccoli. My only complaint is that the meals come with steamed rice and instead of an upgrade to fried rice you have to buy a container of it. The broccoli is always very crunchy and fresh and the chicken is cut thin and flavorful. The brown sauce is not thick, which I like. The serving size is massive and I always get at least two meals out of my order. The price is pretty reasonable considering the portion sizes and quality. We ordered my meal, my bfs general tsos, fried rice, and 2 egg rolls for $25. If you can get past the hole in the wall appearance, this is the place to get takeout! read more

I'm changing my 4 star rating to a one. I got the sweet and sour shrimp and it was the equivalent of eating paper mâché while it's still wet. It was all not cooked thoroughly and the shrimp in the middle was soggy. I'm posting a picture of all the raw breading. Disgusting!! read more

Rice King - I got the sweet and sour shrimp and it was the equivalent of eating paper mâché while it's still wet. This is all the breading - Chinese Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Good local Chinese food take out. Tried the cashew chicken and the broccoli chicken. Both were very good. Looking forward to trying a few others. read more

We liked Rice King as our go-to "we don't have any food at home let's get something quick" place. But now with the new management the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. This is some of the best take out Chinese food in Pittsburgh. If you have not experienced the "new" Rice King then you definitely need to give them a shot. read more

We love their food, my wife orders there quite often I love it we always ask for extra extra hot spicy that his brings out the flavor never had a bad meal there yet in the last 10 years great people read more

We took a chance on this little hole in the wall joint!!! Great food at great prices....I just wish the owners were more friendlier, they always give us a hard time when we ask for chop sticks! Then she hands us 1 for 2 entrees and apps! Makes no sense read more

I've been going to Rice King for years now. As others have said, the food is excellent especially considering the prices. My favorite is the Hunan beef but I've also had the General Tso's Chicken, Fried rice, egg rolls and fried dumplings all much better than the local places near my work in Oakland. It is a small operation run by a husband and wife team. I would highly recommend them. Take note that this place is striclty take out. read more

Rice King is not bad. Rice King however is not good either. The food is very average at best buy it gets the job done and isn't very expensive. The only bad thing I can say is that when I came in to pick up our order the gentleman who was cooking came over handled the money and went back to handling the food. read more

I called to see if they deliver the man that answered the phone was very rude mumbled something then hung up on me before I could say anything! read more

This is our never fail go-to place for Chinese food. The couple who run the place seem a little gruff at first but they are really very nice folks who work super hard. The food is great. I've never- literally NEVER- had food from there that didn't live up to expectations. My personal favorite is the orange beef, my husband prefers the sesame chicken. (extra spicy.) It's take-out only, no seating other than a small waiting area, and no delivery. It's fast and SO yummy. read more

This is easily the best Chinese food I've had in Pittsburgh. Small little place next to a liquor store and chiropractor, but it is so awesome. Husband and wife team that always seem like they're fighting with each other when you go in there and it's kind of amusing. Their food is great though. Vegetables are super fresh and crisp. We've had the General Tso's, fried dumplings, and we always get Chicken and Broccoli. Their Chicken Fried Rice is amazing too. Highly recommend this place. read more

Not sure what happened to Rice King. For a long time the food was great. But in the last year it has really gone down hill.

Chik n broccoli was fantastic. Veggie egg roll was the BEST!!! We will be bak. FOOD IS GREAT !!!! I'm so mad that I drove by this place for years and never stopped in. read more

Enjoyed a delicious meal tonight from The Rice King. We ordered the lo mein with vegetables, Szechuan chicken and egg rolls and loved all of it! The owners are so sweet and make excellent, fresh food! read more

Our go to place for quick chinese. Food is awesome and fast. There is no place to sit. It's just take out. Everything I've ordered here is good. My favorites and chicken in garlic sauce and general tsos. Hot and sour soup is great too. read more

Service was fast on all visits and the food is generally decent but seems cooked just a little too long. Having had general tsos shrimp and chicken on multiple occasions this is a recurring theme. Egg rolls are awesome, sauce is good, will try again sometime for a last chance. read more

Some of the best Chinese food in Pittsburgh. I love their rice, orange chicken, crab wontons, and lo mein. Everything I've ever had was spectacular. Their prices are cheap and the portions are huge. They always hook us up with extra fortune cookies. read more

Food is simply delicious!! And portions are big. I have been a customer of Rice King for many many years and will always come back. Good job!!! read more

Best Chinese place in the burgh. Big portions for a good price. The only two employees are husband and wife. they do not speak english very well so dont take it as rudeness like all these other idiots posting on here. They have never been rude to me always happy and smiling. read more

This is so sad... I went for the first time today, and I REALLY wanted to like this place. The couple working there were very nice, the inside was sparse and clean, with a few lovely potted plants, all great! Then I actually tasted the food and I was so disappointed. I ordered crab Rangoon (they call it cheese crab wonton or something like that) and they were over cooked and hard and had very little stuffing, and what was there was kind of separated into an oil and yellowy blobs. I've eaten a lot of crab Rangoon and never had it separated that way. I ordered steamed dumplings, and the dough on the dumplings was probably five times as thick as anywhere else, leading to an impossibly sticky dumpling that I actually choked on at one point trying to swallow, which makes saying that they were too large and misshapen seem almost inconsequential. I ordered chicken and broccoli, but I got beef (I think?) and broccoli. The sauce was very bland, there were almost no spices. I also ordered house special lo mein but I couldn't even bring myself to look at it yet. None of the ingredients seemed fresh, there were obvious kind of dead spots in the broccoli. I don't really understand what went wrong here, but I won't be giving it another go. Even the pre-packed fortune cookies were terrible, they taste like cardboard! I don't understand how the place has a four star review. :( read more

this place has consistently been going downhill since 2009, i just cant get them to package the Tsos sauce in a way that wont spill all over, they wont put it in the dish so you are left with trying to eact general tsos without sauce and it of course sucks that way. grumpy owners, never say thank you wtf. read more
