20 minutes to be ready for call in. Arrived and ended up having to wait 15 extra minutes. It was a Friday night so not the biggest deal. Food was HOT, plentiful and overall superb. I have not ate here since I was probably 10 and lived in Dominion Homes. (So I really couldn't remember how the food was) My oldest brother and mother used to take out food all the time, and said they are as tasty as they used to be. They even wintered thru COVID which is huge for them but the dining room is still not open and they serve you thru a boxed in space thru a window. read more

really good flavor it taste authentic, and it was made fresh I'm not only that, but the staff was amazing. I tried the orange chicken and one word amazing. This is one of the best Asian cuisine spot in Columbus. read more

Great food, the place is for pick up only apparently, nice customer service, I will definitely come back to this place

this place gets worse every time I visit... the crab ragoons are horrible, might actually be the worse in the STATE! the restaurant is set up like a freaking bank tellers desk meaning you can't even go in there... you are better off making the extra 10 minutes to family garden which is one of the best in the city & they have spring egg rolls... sn, I wouldn't recommend this food to a dog! read more

Food is very good and wasn't expecting how good it was. Great prices and a lot of food. Honestly if you are feeding a family I'd get carryout from here. They are still doing Covid precautions but it's carry out. read more

My family and I just moved and found this hidden gem! Amazing food each time we have ordered. We have tried various Chinese from places all over Ohio and this place, hands down, has been the BEST! Each item we have orders tastes fresh and amazing! The service is fast ! We would definitely recommend this place to anyone! read more

This isn't a bad place but I didn't exactly agree with some of the rave reviews. I tried the spicy wontons which were wonderful. Literally a perfect mix of sweet with heat. The family tried the crab Rangoon and it was disappointing given what all the reviews claimed. I could see where some may like it; it was heavy on the cream cheese and light on sweetness which isn't my thing...but to each his own. My son got the Beef Lo Mein and said it was "really good." My daughter got the sweet and sour chicken and was very disappointed. She described it as heavily breaded and in a sauce she found more sour than sweet and very runny. Our overall review on what we tried was 50/50. I would be willing to try it again and see what some of their other menu items are like. There is potential. read more

I ordered spring rolls, I'm not sure how you mess up a spring roll. The outside was nude and crunchy, but the inside was a mushy mess! It was almost like mashed cabbage. Not good. I didn't order anything else. Not sure I'll be back either. At least the place was clean and the staff was friendly. read more

No. Just no. The chicken was flat and rubbery. I mean really flat. It tasted like they used frozen chicken patties. The rice was BLAND and it was chicken fried rice. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside but mushy on the inside and lacked.....flavor. You only get 1 chance to make a first impression. My impression, PASS. I'm going back to my other place. It may be farther away but it's worth the drive. read more

This place is awesome. It was well work the three highways in the rain to get here. I'm writing this review as I finish eating in fact. Ordered the crab Rangoon. Which is the best I've had outside of Maine. It even has real crab in it. Also ordered the Thai Curry. Yummy. Yummy yummy. Come here to eat. I was also the only person to sit and eat. Which makes me sad because I'm hella cute tonight. Yet, also not because the carry out was popping. Dine in until 9. Carry out until 11. Get you some. read more

Their tofu is cooked to perfection! The soup was a little salty for me but everything had lots of flavor

This place is a hidden gem. If you'd like to experience better than average Chinese cuisine, you have to try Rice Kitchen.

Just left and I am EXTREMELY disappointed at the service and treatment I received. I ordered an order of vegetable fried rice with extra broccoli, 2 large side orders of fried rice and 2 egg rolls. When I got there I noticed my bill seemed high. (The total was not given or the order read back.) When I reviewed the receipt it had two large orders of Lo Mein. I told the female cashier I asked for rice. She them starts yelling that I ordered the wrong thing and I said Lo Mein. I clearly did not order Lo Mein as, I specifically wanted rice for my daughter. I ordered from two places. Her rice from Rice Kitchen and my order from Peking Dynasty. At that, my daughter was standing in the room when I ordered. Not that it mattered. So the female cashier grudgingly corrected my order and continued to yell at me. Still insisting I ordered LoMein and I ordered the wrong thing. It was TERRIBLE. I remained calm, only explaining to her that I did in fact order rice. She only wanted to yell and belittle. If I had not paid and my daughter would not have had food, I would have walked away. I don't spend money where I am not welcome or respected. She comes back with the food and is still yelling I ordered the wrong thing, this time in the presence of a male customer who was picking up an order. It was his first time ordering there and hopefully his last after he clearly heard how she was yelling. That was not even the worst part of it. she slammed my food in the little drawer and forced it out to me. CRAZY!!!! She had the nerve to rudely slam the drawer with the food n it.It was UNBELIEVABLE. I Will NEVER set foot or spend a DIME there EVER AGAIN. I will stick to my usual Peking Dynasty that offers great customer service. In the future please make sure you read back people orders and give a total. Had that been done, I could have told her she did not get my order correct. I am still flabbergasted at how she continued to speak to me. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER will I eat here. Shame on you! Add to Your Post You cannot edit this content read more

I've had a streak of poor meals recently, I was hoping for a good one and the Rice kitchen hit the spot. A small Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall. The inside is nice especially for a fast food Asian restaurant. Their menu is extensive for this type of restaurant. I was here for lunch so I had to try one of their lunch combo, although the Thai pad noodles called out to me. I selected the chicken and broccoli, spicy, with fried rice and Wonton soup. The soup was ok and what one would expect from a fast food place. The Chicken and Broccoli was good, broccoli was crunchy cooked just enough the sauce was not overwhelming simply good. The fried rice was cooked well, just sticky enough and a nice nutty flavor, a little more egg mixed into it would have been nice. One bright spot was their hot tea, very tasty, I think it was a mix of green and black tea. Over all a nice lunch with quick friendly service . Exactly what I expect from a " fast" Asian restaurant. I'll be back to explore their menu more. read more

The food is not bad, nothing special. However, it is very frustrating when you try to place an order, and if you try to substitute a vegetable, you are told they "cannot" do that, as if there is someone there, who will crack a belt on you, if you try to substitute anything.... and if they do substitute say mushroom for broccoli, you are charged extra. read more

Takeout review... I waited a couple days to see if there was digestive issues. I placed a separate order for 14 people. Every order was correct. We ordered from the lunch express menu, where the only options we made were hot/mild, white/fried, soup choice. Nothing crazy(add this, no that). I questioned a lot of them about their meals. Especially those with fried items. All agreed that they were not over cooked crunchy from the fryer. Nor were they undercooked to the point, they became mushy. Some regretted not ordering red sweet and sour sauce for the egg rolls. Lots of duck sauce in the bag. I had the Hunan or Szechwan chicken. I don't remember. I just wanted spicy, unfried. The sauce at least had some flavor to it, which is more than other Chinese Lunch Express menu's. I found a good ratio of meat to vegetables. Of course there is always an abundance of rice. The fried rice was not greasy or oily. This was a hit. We will keep it in our regular "lunch out" rotation. Now for the appearance. Upon driving up to this strip center, you are met with an eclectic offing of residents. You will first see the door under their sign which says "Please use other door". Not the other next to it, but the other pair 10' to the left. This one appeared to be covered with brown paper by the landlord while work was being done inside. upon closer inspection it was a brown grass shade that is never raised. I imagine the afternoon sun shines in directly. Still a tinting would be more inviting. Inside is the standard aquarium, and waiting chairs. These were hard plastic, and designed to keep traffic from loitering. There was no one dining in at 1230PM, but 3 other takeouts came and went. They were kind enough to pack our lunch in a box, even though I come prepared with clothing shopping bags. A petite eater will enjoy the leftovers in the rectangular plastic container with snap on lid. I noticed my same complaint with another Chinese takeout. The silverware is terrible. We will prepare ahead next time with sturdy table ware to cut our lunch. No digestive issues. See you again. read more

Rice Kitchen - Coke products on the fountain. - Chinese Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

So, overdue review. This is typical mostly take-out, generic menu but tasty "Chinese" food for locals(Obetz, OH). However, their off the menu up on chalk board Spicy Beef Noodle Soup is stupid good. I miss my Too much a spicy noodle soup on a cold day. Owners always greet you with a smile. Noodle soup itself is a 5 star. Beef, mushrooms, bamboo shoots....nuff said. MSG is good with me! read more

Let's make one thing perfectly clear, this place is not going to knock your socks off. What you will find here is consistent, B/B- range Chinese food. I've eaten here at least a couple dozen times, always takeout. It isn't stellar, no, but it is always the same, and is decent. The flavor is there and it is fast and cheap. You can combo a ton of things for $6.50, we usually get a sweet and sour chicken, that comes with steamed or fried rice, and an egg roll or soup. I also get sesame chicken this way as well, when ordering for two, we get an egg roll on one combo and soup on the other and just share everything. It is more than we can both eat for $13 and is better than McDonalds or Wendy's in most cases. Service has always been prompt and I've never waited long for food. As long as you go in knowing what to expect you shouldn't be disappointed here. I feel like it should be 3.5 stars but you can only award whole stars here. So 3 it is. read more

Very nice and clean family-owned restaurant. Food comes out hot every time and delicious. read more

I've lived here over three years, and order take out fairly regularly...never had a bad meal, service is very good and the prices are quite reasonable. I've tried many different dishes..my top two are the pad Thai and general tso chicken. read more

Decent quality food, okay service. Food quality has a little room for improvement. They do have a better variety over other "Chinese" restaurants. Some dishes are over-powered with salt/sodium. The Coke from their fountain tastes aweful. It needs checked. I eat in, service is a little slow. There is never anyone else in there. read more

We have been eating here for years. The food is excellent as is the service. The food is always hot and the order has never been wrong and as a family of 5 our orders are usually big. Their selection is huge and everything we have tried has been very yummy. We usually order as take out but have dined in before. Any chance I get I spread the word about how great it is. read more

This is a nice average Chinese restaurant decent size dining area with the option of carry out and to go orders. A very fast service time, I hardly had to wait after putting in my order (10 minutes). I ordered the sesame tofu and an order of crab Rangoon. The tofu might've been cooked a little too long so it was a little more tough than usual instead of traditional fluffy tofu, however the crab Rangoon was excellent and this is one of the few places that uses less cream cheese and actually more stuffing with crab and some mixed vegetables. The fried rice was also decent. I would recommend to anyone that is stopping through the area if you are looking for a decent meal. read more

I love this little joint. Staff is friendly, food is tasty, they are quick to complete the order and using the Beyond Menu app you can order over mobile. Good sized clean dining area if you decide to eat in. Food is reasonably priced and the portions are considerable. Their Hot & sour soup is great. I don't have a single complaint about thus place. read more

Searching for a place close to where I was working on a project and not wanting to use the fast food outlets, I discovered Rice Kitchen Asian Cuisine was quite close to me. Checked out their website, which looked professional, so I headed out. Arrived in time to take advantage of the lunch specials, so I ordered the Pad Thai - all vegetable. It was listed as a $5.50 special, so I asked how much it would cost to add a bit of tofu. $3, I was told, passed on that and went for the standard item. The meal was served in a few minutes, takeout, so I went on my way, delighted that I'd found an option to Arbys, McDonalds and the like so very close. Boy was I wrong. Upon the first bite, I was disappointed. Missing was the sweet and sour taste. No diced peanuts, no hint of lime. Just a bunch of greasy noodles, a pancake shaped disc of scrambled egg on top, and the typical array of vegetables usually served with Asian food. The sauce tastes of an animal fat base and was very slimy. I broke apart the egg roll that came with the meal for inspection. Inside I found some strange bright orange stuff, and CHICKEN. I told them I was vegetarian. You'd think they would have informed me and perhaps offered options. Not wanting to give such a low review on Yelp, but the meal was disappointing. Perhaps their other items are better, but if you like Pad Thai or any hint of something fresh, authentic and properly prepared, you might come away as unhappy as I did. read more

Food is made quickly usually takes no more then 15 min to make.the people are very nice and the place is nice and clean. Overall the food is good. I would recommend it to people who want quick Chinese food read more

OMG!!!!! I just got done "eating" their sesame chicken. I put that in quotes because I took a bite and threw it out. It was rancid. It was the worst Chinese I've ever eaten. Save your money. I swear that you will regret getting food here. read more

Needed a quick lunch and jumped on Yelp! Found this place and despite the shabby strip mall exterior, this was a pleasant surprise. Warm family friendly place. Meal was lunch combo so reasonably priced. I.e.so for about a "value meal" at fast-food. Meal came out hot and tasty. Service was fast and courteous read more

Ordered from here for the first time after reading the reviews and discounting the negative ones. I ordered the pork lo mein and asked them to make it spicy. I took three bites and threw it away. The noodles tasted stale, the meat looked discolored and tasted awful and it just tasted greasy. I won't bother ordering from there again. read more

We order takeout from here for work all the time. It's great and the service is awesome.

We do take out from rice kitchen every couple weeks. Their tofu selection is awesome for a strip mall restaurant. Try the sesame and general tsaos tofu... It's awesome. read more

They have decent food, but when we order over the province they sometimes get our orders wrong! It's not worth going back in and trying to explain it. We've never gotten delivery either. read more

I have been eating here for the last several years, always take out. I have never been disappointed in the food or the service! General tso's chicken is awesome as well as the crab Rangoon. Plenty of food for the price on the specials. I work in Grove City and drive by several other Chinese places to get to this one. Staff is always friendly and have never had to wait very long for my food. Definitely worth the effort to check it out. read more
