The Rice Box,

1111 S Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77019, United States

"Very cool little spot great for cosplayers or techwear people, really anyone who enjoys cyberpunk. I'd love to franchise it somewhere in CA. Food was great. Seemed expensive but you get 2 to 3 meals out of it so it's well worth the price tag. Plus it taste great. Come at night fir full neon experience."

"Went in for a quick lunch. I had heard of the food truck years back, and being in the area of their brick and mortar was the perfect occasion. The restaurant has a futuristic look in the inside and kind of neat. However, on my recent visit, restaurant was not particularly clean- I noticed the trash can had caked on food, and restrooms had stuff on the walls that had been there for a long time. Counter order was efficient and food delivery was quick. Food was mediocre at best. I guess I had my expectations set high - just nothing to bring me back. Not bad- just ok Chinese food."

"Been coming here since it was just a food truck. It was my favorite in houston & am so happy it turned into a whole restaurant. The owner is amazing guy who traveled Asia & borough the flavor back to Houston. You can tell his favorite movie is blade runner which he modeled the look of this place too. Great Houston gem."

"I’ve tried another location of The Rice Box but this location was my favorite. We went early when they opened & it was very quiet. We ordered the Pepper Steak, Garlic 4 Season Green beans w/beef, & 2 Wonton soups! Everything was delicious & fresh with the exception of my rice (it was kinda hard, I would probably get Lo Mein noodles next time). The location is nice with lots of natural lighting & outdoor seating, parking could be an issue depending on the time you go, the staff were very friendly & accommodating. Would definitely return & try out the different menu items they offer!"

"The portions here are really nice. Definitely enough food to take home for a second meal. The food came out fast and hot. I really enjoyed the fried rice because they put lots of egg in it and also bean sprouts which gave it another texture. I highly recommend the changqing wings. I can say they were close to the best wings I've ever had. Full of flavor. I really wanted to try the house teas the make but they were out of them so this is why they get a 4 star today."
