I came here because of my friends who told me its sooo good. I looked at the pictures here on yelp and it looks like everyone gets savory chicken and bbq pork. When I got there I was disappointed because they didn't have any bbq pork. I settled for the beef and broccoli...man was that a bad choice. After eating I got a terrible stomach ache. I knew it was the beef and brocoli because my friend who didn't get the beef and brocoli did not get a stomach ache. So it gets 3 stars for giving me a stomach ache. The savory chicken is very good and the portions that they give you is also way better than panda express. Just make sure to stay away from beef and brocoli and come early so you can get the bbq pork read more

I stopped by here on my way home from work on recommendation from a UCR student my daughter knows. The food was good and they give you a ton. Have enough for dinner or a big lunch the next day . The decor was old and it could use a little cleaning but it was a good deal. Not quite 4 stars but a solid 3.5 for sure read more

Bunch of food and all for about 5 bucks! Not the best tasting Chinese food, but you get food for three meals with one of their combos. The price and the amount is what's so great, while the food is like a C+/B-. read more

I got the black pepper, orange chicken with fried rice and chow mein; had to wait a few minutes. Food is nice and hot smells great. Ending the evening with some great Chinese food, what could be better. read more

Rising Savor - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Reviewing in relativity to Chinese Fast Food in General. I want to start off by saying, I have NEVER seen a takeout box so packed before. If you make a cup of rice on the side, it easily becomes two very stuffing meals. Staff is as friendly as can be for a place like this. Price is very cheap with additional discounts to college students. Definitely my favorite Chinese Fast Food of all time. My only wish is that they would stay open later than 9pm. read more

If I could give no rating star I would, this place has gone through so many owners over the years 10 to be exact that I would come here and the owners now as of 9/7/22 the lady that's always there is so rude! She always has a hat on with hair ina ponytail and wears glasses I've came in the past 2 months and each time she's very rude with an attitude and has gotten my order wrong when I state I want a combo b and charges me for one item and gets mad when I ask where my second item is after stating the two items I wanted from beginning and still charges me for one and gets mad when I said I wanted two, then says she charged for one, the money ain't the issue I said what I said and wanted it's her fault for not paying attention the first time. Also EVERYTIME I come here I ask for cream cheese wontons and she always states "they sold out" EVERYTIME. They are never busy when I go and one time I did ask and they actually had them and they came out burnt the cream cheese was all thick and dry with a burnt crisp outside. That lady needs to be fired she always has issues with the customers I've gone and have been respectful every time and even other customers in there have complained while I'm in there cus she's jus so rude and gets stuff wrong. read more

This is my favorite place to get chinese food near UCR. Their portion sizes are huge and they offer a student discount! If you want alot of bang for your buck, this id the place to go. read more

these folks have everyone posting positive reviews only because of the quantity of food they serve. i had the greaaaaat pleasure of finding a nice well cooked cockroach in my chowmein. better believe i went down and returned my food and got a refund. i sure did call the health dept and after an inspection they too found cockroaches in the kitchen and behind their business license as well... i will never ever eat there again, and any chance i get to tell people about it i will. the guy at the register even tried to argue with me about my $25 refund. its a joke. do not let them continue to feed people this unsanitary mess. read more

Rising Savor - RISING SAVOR HIDDEN ROACH - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Must. Have. I know of no other place that serves such great food at such a low price point. You know that saying of "killing two birds with one stone"? Yeah, well, rising savor is like killing four birds with one stone because this stuff can feed you for days. Personally, I enjoy all the chicken dishes. The chicken is cooked to perfection, succulent in texture, and juicier than the next episode of gossip girl. If you are ever in riverside and need something quick to eat, save yourself the hassle of deciding where to go and just go to rising savor. It's better than Panda Express, it's better than pick up stix, hell.. it's even better than din tai fung. (Except for their xiao long baos ) I come here every week, and it is my sole mission on this earth to spread the good news that is Rising Savor. read more

Decent fast food warming tray type Chinese food. Huge portions so it's a good value. A coworker got the teriyaki chicken and it's a whole chicken breast chopped up. I'll try that next time. Honestly, my rating would be 3 stars because the food is just OK but I added an extra star for the A on the door and huge portions. read more

This place is the definition of value!! For about $6.99 you get 2 sides and 1 entree (rice or noodles). They fill up the whole box and I believe they also offer student discount, if you mention it, which 10% off your order. I love getting the red BBQ pork, so juicy and tender. They also have bomb cream cheese rangoons. Because of the huge serving size, I always share with a friend. Definitely a must for a student with a budget lol read more

Yikes this place has gone down. Came here for the first time in forever and not coming back again. Came for lunch and was served awful food. Chow neon was thick dry and tasteless. Orange chicken was soggy and slimy with a weird flavor. So bad I threw it out. read more

I ordered Hot and Sour soup, which I've had many times at other places and received "altered" egg flower soup. Very disappointed - if you're not going to make it right, don't put it on the menu. read more

Rising Savor - Egg flower soup - altered to be hot and sour soup - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

Really good take out/fast food Chinese! It tastes way better than Panda Express. They give you very generous heaping amounts of food. Their chow mein and red pork is by far my favorite. read more

I come here for lunch during the week often. The place is not fancy but the food is good and at reasonable cost. I believe they also give discounts for UCR students. read more

Decent place to have a quick, time-saving meal. With student ID and coupons, this place would definitely "defeat" Panda Express if it is located closer to UCR. The only glitch is: sometimes the surface of tables is not wiped very clean, so you need to DIY. I will sure come back to have my meal(s) here~. read more

I'm doing this review because this place deserves to be recognized for NOT being stingy with their servings. Oh and their food is good and fresh, mostly every time I go there is a line, so the chef has good demand. I recommend their savory spicy chicken and chicken egg rolls, their item selection is very good as well. The only down side is their eating area needs to be managed better as far as keeping it clean, 4 stars for everything else. read more

My first bad experience here!!! I always order the cho fun party tray and I always ask for sweet and sour sauce to go with it. It's a party tray! So every time I order this they worked ALWAYS gives me a small cup to go with my PARTY TRAY cho fun. But today I went to pick up my party tray and a different worker was working and wouldn't give me sweet and sour sauce with my order. She kept telling me "no you have to pay for it. It's not free." I informed her I am a regular customer that always orders a party tray and the owner gives me sweet and sour sauce. She kept arguing with me and then a different worker came over and said he can give me half of a cup. Like excuse me people it's a huge party tray! We want sweet and sour sauce to go with our cho fun. We dont eat it bland! Very disappointing with my experience here. My first bad experience. The workers here are so inconsistent! One says yes the other no one day. And then they can't get their dang college discount down. Some workers give the college discount and others say no. Like what the heck. You guys need to work on your consistency! Train them all the same! read more

Rising Savor - All this food for a party tray, and not enough sweet and sour sauce! Very disappointing! They argued with me with about it. - Chinese Near Me - Riverside, California

LOVE THIS PLACE! I am a "fat girl" and I know my food! The savory chicken is very good, but if you don't like spicy - don't eat it! I like mine extra spicy. Has good flavor and crunchy coating. The servers are always super nice when I go there. I call ahead for office lunches, they are ready to go when I get there and packaged correctly! Combo B is enough food for 2 people or 2 meals. If you go at the lunchtime rush during the week, be patient, they get busy! Food is always fresh too. read more

This place was really good back in mid 2000's. Then it had a slump, not sure what happened. Its back at peak greatness. Jalapeno Chicken is spicy and flavorful. Chow Mein restored. Orange is always a good choice :) read more

Great value on food in terms of portion sizes. Food tastes pretty good for cheap Chinese takeout. I like to get Combo C because you get so much for so little, especially if you include the student discount. Just try not to go too late, because some of the food options might run out and they won't be making more after a certain time. read more

Its good and large portions and ucr students get discount. No drawbacks and i will go back.

This place has large portions. I would rate the food probably 7/10. The food is not the best but it's not bad. The chow mien noodles are my favorite here but the meats and rest of the entrees are alright. read more

Good as far as fast food Chinese in Riverside goes. They overstuff your takeout box, which is a definite plus. The last time I came here, my roommate and I shared Combo B, which was fried rice + chow mein and two entree for items. It came out to $6 with my UCR ID. It was practically a steal! And the amount of food they hooked us up with was enough for two meals for both me and my roommate. I'm saying goodbye to Panda Express forever, I'd rather just come here. read more

I hate to be writing this but I will never go back here again! My mom and I got food poisoning here! Perhaps they didn't cook something right or maybe they didn't follow the food handling code, but we got ill. Careful if your eat here! read more

This place used to be really good before they changed ownership a few years back. Ever since new ownership took over the first 2 times we tried I got sick.. We didn't eat there often so my husband thought maybe just bad timing I was already not feeling good but no the 3rd time I got sick again I knew it was here. The last visit was a couple weeks ago I grabbed food for a coworker and myself.. the Fried rice was yellow and dry it was gross. I got the orange chicken and it wasn't good either. my coworker got beef broccoli and after 1 bite couldn't finish it. Everything lacked flavor. and to top it off we BOTH ended up sick!! So I unfortunately will not be back which saddens me I grew up in the area and this was our Chinese spot... And I have tried numerous other places and nothing ever compare to what this place used to be like before ownership changed. :( read more

Chinese fast food to go, with heavy portions and great service...they are especially known for their savory chicken, which more often than not is too crispy it scratches the top of my mouth, however, food is really cheap, and doesnt harm the tummy insides so on a few occasions, i've ordered their party trays....i once asked them to make something special, which wasnt on the menu, and they made it perfectly! though they made it, i take credit for the idea..hehe...anyways...i heard if you have a UCR ID, you cant get a student discount, which is always nice... read more

Been going here for a lot of years and have noticed a significant decline in quality, service and cleanliness. Tonight was my last time. Flavorless dishes. Ordered some sweet and sour chicken on the side. They tried to put it in one of our combo containers. We told them not to but the staff was argumentative. The chicken was non existent, all fried breading, no onion, no pineapple, nothing. We threw it away when we got home. The rest of our meals followed. I expect this place to be out of business soon. I won't miss it. read more

The orange chicken wasn't good. It was like weird and tasted like fried flour with an overly sweet generic orange chicken sauce. The chow mein was okay but I've definitely had better Chinese food. There's this place called tasty goody in Fontana it's big portions and the orange chicken is really good. I will not be back. The BBQ chicken is like grey inside and so is the jalapeño chicken. Idk it was weird. read more

Bomb ass terikai khicken wit the sause on that shit! So mu.h food you don't need a 3rd item fire!!

This place is alright. Their chow mien is pretty good though. This is just another typical fast food Chinese food in riverside. Their food is okay nothing special but their upside is their portions. They give fat portions that barely fit the box and it comes with a 10% discount for students. So for under 6 dollas you'll be chillin on a full stomach read more

The staff here are so nice!! They always give out big portions of food and don't forget to show your student ID to get discount!! :D

I love this place, it's really greasy, but I love it, lol. The portions are HUGE, my sister, niece and I usually get two, two entree plates and share them w/ left overs. The staff is friendly and the move really fast. Everything is fresh, you constantly see them bringing out fresh food. I've had everything here, and would recommend it all. My sister is a student so she gets a discount, which is nice. read more

This used to be my go to place for steam table fast Chinese food, that is until they got new owners. The recipe for their signature Savory Chicken was changed and it is not even close to being as good as the previous recipe. The egg foo yung has also been changed to the more traditional patty style, instead of the fried ball. However, they don't have traditional egg foo yung sauce for it, instead they offer teriyaki sauce, YUCK! Now, after 15-years, I am in search of a replacement go to Chinese restaurant. read more

Portions are huge but still do not make up for their overcooked meat and vegetables. Not to mention the lack of flavor. I got teriyaki chicken and it was mainly all fat. Spicy wings sucked. Chicken was horrible. Only mediocre thing was chowmein. read more

They have the best Orange Chicken in Town. Traditional not Spicy. It seams that every restaurant sell's Spicy Orange Chicken.

Seriously delicious and inexpensive! I have found my new go-to Chinese takeout place.

This place was pretty bomb right off the top. It's cheap, plentiful, convenient, discounts for UCR students. It's fast chinese food so it's whatever.. Savory chicken is bomb. Go hard, its delicious and dirty! read more

Great food great price in riverside. The best I have had since I moved in the area over 6 months ago. Best item is the orange chicken love it great vegetable fried rice to go with the combo. Good sized portions. read more

They close whenever they want on 4/27/17 they closed at 8:30. Save the trip and go straight to El Fogon where they'll still serve you even if you get here at 8:58. read more
