Rice Bowl Cafe 11220 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78753

"UPDATE: I ordered the s&p chicken again and got food poisoning. Maybr dont go here If you're hesitant to go here, don't be. Me and my boyfriend made a pact to never get chinese food, because every place we've tried has been awful and not worth the money. But this place is the real deal. As soon as you walk in you get a waft of pure flavor. Nice atmosphere, super friendly people. We were greeted with wonton chips and hot mustard/sweet and sour sauce. A delicious snack! We got the roast beef rolls to start, they were made on scallion pancakes. Imagine lunch meat pinwheels, except they're delicious and paired with an amazing chili oil. Then he had the the Kung pao chicken. It came out piping hot, and was just the right amount of spicy and flavorful. The rice was perfect as well. I got the salt and pepper chicken, and it was the best I've had! It was fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Did I mention the staff were insanely friendly? Please come here and support this amazing business. We plan on coming back!"

"Rice Bowl Cafe blew my expectations out of the water!! They had great dishes, great portions and great prices. I haven’t been able to purchase this much food for this price since before the pandemic. The taste was amazing too! I ordered the walnut shrimp, green beans, and she li hon pork noodle soup. The shrimp were massive and super fresh and tasty. The green beans were smoky and delicious. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the soup was a rich umami. The lady who served us was wonderful as well. I cannot rate this place highly enough. 10/10 would come again."

"Nice and clean. Two of front older waitresses are super friendly. Food absolutely delicious. Highly recommended beef wrap that is what I always have. Highly recommended place."

"Looks like I review Rice Bowl Cafe every 3 years! Not much has changed since my last review. Tried a whole bunch of other items and all have been good. I really would rate RBC as top tier for the Austin area. All foods are really fresh and you can tell they use good ingredients. The 3 cup chicken is truly special. This General Tso's chicken is better than all the other generals chicken. The soups are good. The chicken with garlic sauce has Szechuan peppers which will numb your mouth. Mongolian beef from here is one of my favorites. Good Fried rice and orders come with fried wonton strips, even when the food is delivered. The portions are good too! Highly recommended!"
