    Great spot for some Asian fusion! I actually tried this place because of the Too Good to Go app -- the bowl I picked up was huge and filled with lots of great food! Crispy chicken, sweet and sour eggplant, rice, spicy mashed potatoes, edamame, shredded carrot, mushrooms, pineapple, cabbage, corn, cucumber and radish, and some type of sesame seed sauce on top. Everything was quite tasty but my favorite was the sweet and sour eggplant! It is a little difficult to access this place (I made the mistake of swinging by on a Saturday night) but I would say it's worth checking out regardless. There are tables outside to sit and eat at. I also saw they offer other items such as milk tea -- I will be back to try it!

    Super cute wall decor!

    In the neighborhood helping my sister move the rest of her stuff, and when she asked me what I wanted to eat as a thank you for helping, this was the first and only place that came to mind! Been craving this place since the first time we happened upon it by happy accident (details below). We got our own make your own bowls this time. The portions are so generous that even after we stuffed our faces full, there was plenty leftover (yay!). Harry, Issac and the rest of the staff here are so friendly, patient and helpful! Definitely a must for me whenever I'm in town! I only wish we had something like this back in SGV! First discovered this yummy place through the Too Good To Go app/project, and am so thankful and grateful! The store is super cute, and the service is top notch (thanks Isaac)! Love the Asian flavors in all the protein and veggie options, which had this really fresh, healthy spin that just makes their bowls that much better! Their house cheesecakes (got both the matcha and lime) are light, fluffy and full of flavor! Highly, highly recommend!

    This is a review for the RICEMILL at the arrowhead mall. We attended the grand opening last Saturday after previously enjoying the downtown location. There was a large crowd with some nice give aways. As for the food it was very good as expected. We did the build your own bowls and despite the long line, the team got our order out quick. Food was hot, fresh and tasty. The biggest selling point besides taste is the large size of the bowls. One full build your own bowl can easily feed two people. Don't hesitate to try either of their Phoenix locations because you will not be disappointed. "FIMP" Food is my Passion

    Eggplant is so good here - look at how big that bowl is
    Vivian H.

    I was here about a month ago for a Yelp Elite event and loved the food, so today, while I was in the area, I picked up another bowl to have for dinner. And being that May is Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander month, seems almost apt to support Asian businesses. The place had one other customer ordering before me and then it was my turn. I absolutely love the eggplant they make here so I started with my base of white rice and then asked for the eggplant. The lady behind the counter was confused as that wasn't considered a protein but we talked it thru and she said I would just have to charge you as if it was a tofu bowl and I said sure ok. She, then piled on the eggplant (generous portion) and then I had a choice of a few more sides so opted for the cauliflower, enough mushrooms and zucchini. I then also had corn, edamame added and some pickled veggies. Added a little bit of scallion sauce and then topped it off with some crispy shallots. The bowl was about $12 and it's big enough for 2 portions! And every bite was delicious! They were also giving away free dessert, so I had one of the chocolate puddings! I also love their fountain milk tea here as it's not too sweet and about $3. Overall, with tax and tips, my meal came to under $20! I definitely like this place and the food is fresh and good. I do hope they can keep their doors open as they may depend on foot traffic and maybe when there are games and conferences in town. Parking can be a hassle in this area. Give this place a try, your tastebuds and your piggy bank won't regret it!

    I love coming here! They have awesome side choices to add into your bowls like smashed pumpkin, bbq cauliflower and spicy mashed potato!! I always do the BYOB, since I love all the toppings and this time I did half greens/brown rice, umami roast chicken with all of the above toppings and all of the cold toppings! DELICIOUS! I also ordered their house made milk tea which is a delicious treat! My husband ordered the Szechuan Mala steak bowl and really liked it. The lobby is bright and large, with lots of places to sit. There isn't convenient parking, so you'll have to figure that out. But it's definitely worth checking out! The people working are always very nice and helpful!

    Pro-tip: Parking can be tricky since it's a lot of of paid street parking and garage parking since it's in the middle of downtown. Highlights: Think chipotle, but make it Asian, light, healthier and refreshing. Absolutely loving this concept and would highly encourage people to try this place! I love their variety of base, proteins, sides, and sauces. I got a half noodle and half rice bowl with half steak and half shrimp and it was delicious! The milk tea is simply a must get. I traveled to Asia a lot and easily this milk, tea rivals so many of the ones I've had because of its strong tea flavor and it's not too sweet. Also, the interior is super cute and they even have some patio seating as well. Lowlights: I wish it was in a different location because I don't frequent downtown! It's a little pricey, but they really loaded up so you could even have some leftovers!

    Went here for Yelp Elite event and it was quick, & overall a nice experience with the brand new location opening of RICEMILL. Overall, I recommend this place if you need a healthy bowl. It may not be the best-tasting bowl ever, but not a bad choice for good food. walk-in Here are my takes: Food/Drinks: Got a chicken bowl with half and half chicken meat options. They were out of noodles, so I took rice as the base. Overall tastes good, fresh, and healthy.  The rice pudding (chocolate) one was not my favorite. In drinks, I took watermelon, strawberry lemonade that was not very sweet like in other places, but it was sweet enough for me not to finish it. Service: It's a Chipotle-type walk in line and build bowl model, so it was pretty quick. The staff was not slow, and they were serving the line pretty quickly. Hygiene: This is a brand new location, so everything felt new. The restaurant itself is a modern design interior, very bright, and feels very spacious with plenty of seating. Price: Reasonably priced for the quality of food and the bowl size I would not go here every day, but wouldn't mind being here for a healthy option of lunch option since it is right next to my office in downtown.

    The shrimp and steak looked amazing but I had to try the crispy chicken
    Sarah A.

    I walked here and feel like this is a restaurant downtown Phoenix needs. It's a healthier option to a quick bite AND you get way more than other similar concepts like chipotle. I love that they have proteins from steak, shrimp and even the popular original crispy chicken. I will say, the crispy chicken wasn't crispy but it was a very juicy chicken filled with flavor. I ordered the original Hong Kong crispy chicken bowl which came with a bed of rice, the crispy chicken, (I added in some thin sliced zucchini and cauliflower), it also came with carrots, edamame, cabbage, corn and we topped it off with a signature sauce. Girl.... I thought I was going to take some home and I devoured this bowl! HAHA! I also tried the OG Lemonade and added a bit of the strawberry lemonade to it. So refreshing!! The milk tea looked popular because it was almost out when I got there. I went back to try the vanilla rice pudding and wtf, I need this every night I crave a late night snack. So good, very thick and creamy texture. Loved it! They also played some popular kpop songs here and overall i recommend checking this place out!! PS- did you know they cater?

    I've ordered DoorDash from here many times and it's always hot and delicious. Decided to visit the store while in the area excited for something yummy and familiar, but it was really not that good. We went for Saturday lunch and the store was completely empty, there was a fly flying around and all the food is uncovered. I got my usual popcorn chicken protein, and it tasted like it was cooked hours ago and was super hard. Overall all the food was stale and did not taste fresh. One thing I will say is that their portions are always really good, they loaded up my bowl. I'll probably keep ordering DoorDash but won't visit the store again.

    Rice bowl with pork
    Anthony H.

    Food: 4/5 we had the rice bowl with pork it tasted amazing! Service: 5/5 the owner was so nice to me and my fiancée she even let our little k9 Douglas in really made our experience that much better Ambiance: 5/5 let me tell you if you're in the area late night bar hopping this is perfect drinking food outside tables and inside clean and spacious

    Build your own bowl with Korean fried chicken
    Denise M.

    We needed a place to grab lunch near the convention center and this place was close. You just go down the line and see what you want in your bowl kind of Subway style. There's a lot of Korean choices and while there isn't a lot on the actual line to choose what they do have is really delicious. My son got some kind of Korean garlic chicken bowl, and I made my own bowl with crispy fried chicken, brown rice, zucchini, carrots, and a really delicious caramelized scallion sauce. The choices are limited, but the food is good and the price was okay, from about $11 to $15. They have Pepsi products and not Coke, and that didn't make me happy, but I'm sure it'll make some people happy.

    Nicole R.

    I ordered DoorDash from Ricemill and got an incredible bowl!! I did the make your own bowl with a noodle and green base, umami roast chicken for my protein, and tons of toppings! The sweet and sour eggplant in particular is delicious!! Everything is so flavorful and the portion is good for the price. I haven't gone into the restaurant in person yet since I hate dealing with downtown parking, but I would like to eventually. They also have rice pudding and milk tea that I'll have to try another time.

    The Hong Kong Crispy Chicken and added zucchini to it
    Adriana R.

    The place itself is super open and clean and service is friendly. It's in downtown near the convention center and other restaurants but little tucked away next to Taco Bell cantina. We ordered the Hong Kong crispy chicken bowl. Size of the bowl is decent but heavy on the base which is rice, noodles or greens. The sauce itself was delicious but the "crispy" chicken wasn't crispy at all. I was expecting a little bit of a crunch, however the meat itself was juicy. I would come back again and maybe try their steak instead.

    I've been to China Chili three times now, so I can safely say it's my favorite Chinese restaurant…read morein town. On my most recent visit, I stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner. They have complimentary parking in the front, side, and back of the restaurant. There aren't a ton of spots, but there's street parking close by too. Ambiance (3.5/5): Like most Chinese restaurants, China Chili is pretty no frills. Which isn't a problem for me at all, I'm there for the food. It's a spacious restaurant with both regular tables and circular tables that rotates (good for large groups sharing dishes). Service (4/5): Fantastic service is also not something I expect at a Chinese restaurant. Yet again, I'm there for the food. With that being said, service, while not overly friendly, is typically pretty efficient. Which I always appreciate. Drinks (4/5): Pretty much your standard soft drinks, tea, and a limited selection of alcoholic beverages. My favorite option is their buddha beer which you don't see in a lot of places. It's a lager and it's in a buddha-shaped bottle. It doesn't get much better than that. Food (5/5): The first time I came was for one of my favorite dishes... Peking duck. There aren't a ton of spots in Phoenix that have it, but out of the ones that do, China Chili serves it at a high level. You can go with either crepes or baos (additional surcharge). The duck is absolutely to die for. Flavorful, juicy meat with crispy skin that fits in perfectly into your mini "sandwich" with green onions and Hoisin sauce. For a reasonable price too. Their food outside of duck is of a similar quality. I especially like their flat noodles with beef. Even classic dishes like sesame chicken have a twist here. It's sliced chicken rather than fully breaded chicken. Just as good as the typical way, the sauce is delicious. My only complaint? They give you a pretty small helping of white rice with your dish. Outside of that, the portions are generous. Everything I've had at China Chili has been a hit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu.

We also ordered beer and a whisky drink so we weren't cheap. The food was pretty good. The ticket time on my entree was about 10 minutes but the other two at our table didn't get their food for almost half an hour. No consistency. I may try this place again much earlier in the night.

I visited early in the afternoon - after the lunch rush - but still during the lunch hours. First, the greeting was very unfriendly. The server was distracted conversing with another server and paying little attention to our order. Absolutely zero friendliness. I felt I was an intruder! I ordered a Diet Coke. It was horrible. Obviously, the syrup was low so I had basically unflavored carbonated water. I had the lunch special for General Zso chicken. Zero taste. The egg roll was uninspiring. The egg drop soup was mediocre- at best. And, the entire restaurant was freezing. It was 110+ degrees outside. So, a cool place is welcomed. And I like the temperature cool - like, my home thermostats are set between 70 and 72 in the summer. But, the temperature in the restaurant was much, much colder. Simply, unpleasant experience. I left without eating my lunch. I had a taste of the Diet Coke, a bite of the chicken, a bite of the egg roll - and nothing else. This place made my list!

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated.

We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.
