    Specials- always great
    Al A.

    This little gem in Tellico Village is always excellent, the food is good, & the staff is attentive. It's not a quiet or romantic place, but it serves great rolls & delicious options.

    You would never expect anything as fabulous as it was. It's located in a small strip center in Tellico village. I am so pleasantly suprised. Francisco was our waiter and recommended some great rolls for us. My favorite was definitely the Mexican and Madagascar we ordered extra spicy. Delicious, if we lived here we would definitely become regulars. Highly recommend.

    Finally gave Rice Kitchen a try. I don't have sushi often so we just ordered a couple of rolls to go. The Mexican roll was fried and the Honey Moon roll was not. Both had good flavor, were fresh, and are items I would order again. I went early, before 5pm to pick up my order, and there weren't many in the restaurant. The ambience is clean, comfortable but plain. The servers were attentive while I waited. The bottom line : the food was good and I will go back. They offer a variety of items, including many rolls, sashimi, hibachi, and teriyaki. Give it a try.

    Everytime the service and food is amazing!!! The owner is great and made my daughter a special shrimp nigiri! They also always make her kid chopsticks! The chicken hibachi and all the sushi is amazing! My favs so far are the UT roll and mango tango roll. My 8 year loves the California roll as it is a big piece of crab versus the crab salad. So grateful this place is close and delicious!!!

    Great little spot in the heart of Tellico Village. A little bit of a slow night and we were seated immediately. Service was quick and friendly. The sushi was fresh and flavorful. The California role tasted like a bite of Spring on a brisk Fall evening. The chicken hibachi was juicy and flavorful, the rice was fresh and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were spot on. The entire staff and manager/owner were incredibly friendly and eager to please. This was my first trip but definitely not my last.

    Walking in late, to almost closing time, the staff was very friendly and welcomed us in with opened arms. Looking over the menu they have lots of sushi items and hibachi grill. We ordered the chicken and shrimp hibachi that comes with a salad and mixed vegetables. The salad had lettuce with a straight ginger dressing, sweet tasting. The chicken and shrimp was really good. The vegetables were cooked well. Really enjoyed the family atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Thank you for coming to Tellico Village.

The manager stopped by at our table to see if everything went well and if we were enjoying our food. (Which we were!!) the grilled Caesar salad was scrumptious, and the kids Mac and cheese was finger licking good! You could tell that the Mac and cheese was house made because it tasted super fresh. The decoration inside was cool and definitely gave sea food vibes. The food came out very quickly as well as desert. I recommend the cheesecake it was velvety goodness. Even though the menu font was a tad hard to read and the key lime pie was more of a cheesecake feel, it's still a no brainer. 5 stars!!!

    Ok, it's touristy and loud. Food is good but uneven. Service is clueless and sad. What they do…read moregreat is awesome on any particular day but the little things are missing. The older "owner" is defensive (no need) but the younger one actually listens and draws good info. 1. Serve drinks 2. Know "market prices" 3. Serve appetizers for everyone as close to at once as possible 4. Waitstaff should help each other when available. 5. Don't bring a bill while people are still eating mains....and don't bring it then ask if anyone wants dessert Fried is easy, best items like the lobster roll and shrimp are great but not fried or cold. Oysters are small but tasty....100% better raw. They really have no competition, quality first and hopefully they will be a mainstay, we want you!!!

    Took the little missus for some Asian grub. Waitress was attentive and understood the menu and…read moregluten stuff. The unsweetened tea with lemon was like an old girlfriend: ice cold and bitter. The tempura shrimp and veggies were so so good. Three smaller shrimpies. Three onion rings. 147 sweet potato sticks. The dipping sauce was spot on. I ate every bike. The lil missis had the basil roll. Time at bit of shrimp and then basil... she was it was largely a tasteless salad. ( don't shoot the messenger) The drunken noodles were great. Spivey but not too Spicy for this white boy. My wife added more spice on one side. The other dish was lava hot. It came with peanuts and bean sprouts. It was sweet, just like my date. We shared the dishes and I liked hers and she liked mine. We argued about the drunken noodles. Why the name? Is the chef drunk or the noodles? We have no answer. We got the leftovers to go and vanished quietly in the night. This morning I looked in the fridge and smiled that knowing smile of what is to come tonight for dinner. Yup- leftover Asian food. What is not to like. I'll go again. You should too. The sushi looked great- maybe next time.

    My husband and I, along with our baby came in for lunch on a Saturday. When we came in the…read morerestaurant wasn't too busy but the people who were there seemed like locals and they were really enjoying the food. Always a good sign. We got sat and looked over the menu, one thing I thought was really nice was that they offered their lunch on a weekend. Not many places do that. We decided however to order their dinner for two which comes with two entrees and a choice of app or dessert. We got their fresh basil rolls and also got a cup of their tom yum soup to split. For entrees we got their phad Thai and yellow curry. The soup and basil rolls came out super fast. Both were delicious. The soup was light and flavorful with the ginger and lime really shining through. The basil rolls were also light and the sauce was great with it. The basil didn't overpower any of the other flavors and the shrimp was very fresh tasting not fishy at all. My husband had never tried either before and was really happy with both of them. The entrees were very well portioned (meaning we had amazing leftovers). The curry a a bit of spice but not too much and you could taste all the other flavors in it. The phad Thai was good it was a bit watery with the sauce but the flavor was there. The only complaint either of us had was that the chicken was a bit dry. But that was small compared to how good everything was. It was a great lunch. When we are back in Maryville which is often because my husband works there it's definitely a place I want to go again. They have great food and the prices and really good. Plus the service is awesome. Our server offered to box up our food for us when my husband was in the bathroom and I had our daughter in my lap because she wanted to make it easier for me which I really appreciated.
