I eat here often. The food is fresh, fast, and tasty. The prices are good and the ice tea is the best in town. A great value. I’ll keep coming back.

The service was fast and kind. The food was for the most part pretty good. The rice tho. The rice was horrible! The egg rolls were on point so delicious. We will definitely be going back just for the fact it was fast and clean.

I really don’t know why this place has such great ratings. I ordered the fried rice and orange chicken combo. The rice was flavorless and the orange chicken… I don’t even know where to begin. Who puts pineapple and pieces of carrot in ORANGE chicken!!! The texture is weird too. Normally orange chicken is crispy because it’s fried. This chicken seemed as though they had microwaved it from the day before because it was soggy! Gross! Won’t eat here again. I’d rather go to Panda Express.

Cheap fast Asian food! Not amazing but well worth it. Regular choice for the wife and I when we don’t feel like cooking.

General Taos chicken was very meaty and not overly breaded like a lot of Chinese places. Sauce was tangy with a touch of spice. Great prices and quick service. Quality spot!

Seriously the best! My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a week & use to travel 45 minutes to do so before we lived here. Service is fast, food is delicious, and all for a good price. Forever our favorite!

Really good food for a great price. Always fresh and hot and served very quickly. The egg rolls are «eh» but the food and rice is very good.

Wow! Big improvement over my last visit/​review.
Really never anticipated returning, but heard good things and decided it was worth a shot. No more flimsy foam dinnerware and plastic forks, but more importantly the bacon fried rice was very good.
I passed this placed a lot without even considering a return. Now I will place Rice Etc back in the nutrition rotation. Nice job, folks.

There are times when you have a meal and everything is wrong. I had the unpleasant opportunity to experience that meal.
The consistency, flavors and textures did not compliment each other. The spring rolls seemed stale or old. I ended up throwing my entire meal in the trash. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this eatery as a result of my really bad food experience.

Can’t stop eating here! Love it. Very friendly as well. Every time I’m hungry and can’t decide what to eat I always default to here.

Only once while going threw the drive thru here did the lady at the window sound like everything she said was chicken fried rie.
I get general chicken meal and it always seems fresh to me. The only good Chinese in temple don’t shut down brotha

I’ve been thru the drive thru several times and the service was fast and the food decent. Today I came inside and put my order in at a counter. I sat down and in less than 5 minutes they had my food out to me. The food is fresh and decent for the money. If your craving Chinese and are in a hurry then this is the place.

My expectations of this place remained mediocre until today when my wife and I ordered the Orange Chicken entrée. The chicken came out hot and the rice was cold. The taste of the chicken was like eating chicken that had been reheated about 5 times over in a microwave. I also discovered while eating that my throat started to burn and felt like acid reflux does without actually having acid reflux. I dont think we are going to be eating here again for a while. I suggest you all do the same.
Sincerely,
A concerned customer.

I’m not really a Chinese food person at all and especially do not like buffets so when I was in town visiting my parents I was apprehensive about trying this place.
I was pleasantly surprised with the General Tso’s chicken. The food was brought out quickly, was hot, and very flavorful. My parents love it and go fairly often. Ever since House of Lee closed there hasn’t really been a Chinese place in Temple that I have enjoyed (Dynasty is way over priced in my opinion) so this was a nice substitute. Their egg rolls were pretty good too.

Where do I start? Here is quick version… Visited several times, the chicken teriyaki is good … This time however it smells and I think it’s me… Take two bites and know right off the bat it’s spoiled.
I take it to front counter, not trying to make a ruckus and cashier gets manager, I tell her what’s going on and that I really can’t eat this.
She gets defensive and says all my food is fresh (this is a Chinese fast food place) I say maybe so but this meal is not, I would like a refund.
She refuses a $ 6 refund but says I can order something else… I decline and tell her can’t believe you won’t give me a refund on $ 6 but don’t worry I will never come back.
All I can say, eat there at your own risk.
