Food: At best, average tastes

No mention of any best dishes at Rice & Noodle, unfortunately. The taste, while not horribly offensive, doesn't blow anyone away either. What really impacts the food experience is the poor texture, blandness due to ingredients being overcooked, and deceptively small portion sizes. These factors detract significantly from any perceived value.

  • Very Creative

    Unique flavors and original dishes consistently highlighted in reviews.

  • Okay Taste

    Enjoyable flavors overall but service speed and dish consistency may vary.

  • Bad Value

    Misleading menu, terribly small portions for the pricing, causing dissatisfaction.

Vibe: Dismally uninspiring ambiance

The decor at Rice & Noodle is as bland as some of the poorly textured ingredients in their dishes: outdated decorations and generic wallpaper. It feels like they've stripped away a sense of the restaurant's personality and conveys no sense of the vibrant culture their cuisine should represent.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Ambiance is horrible with outdated decorations and generic wallpaper.

Perks: Appalling faults in service

An undeniable downfall of Rice & Noodle is the service. The scarcity of waitstaff means capacity constraints and limited interaction, and that leaves clients feeling neglected and frustrated. Perhaps the only things that prevent the experience from being a complete disaster are spacious parking and consideration for kids.

  • Great For Kids

    Great service, kid friendly, clean with variety of dishes.

  • Okay For Diets

    Clean restaurant with variety, but no direct mention of diet-friendly.

  • Bad For Groups

    One waitress over 8-10 tables, capacity constraints, limited interaction.
