    I have been a regular customer since they opened and have been ever since. They give large portions, the food is fresh, and the prices are reasonable. Over the years the prices have increased but that's obvious. The food has tasted the same over the years and love ordering hot and sour soup since they make it fresh to order. If you order soup you will have to wait at least five minutes. Otherwise, great place with yummy, affordable food.

    Easily the best fast "chinese" food place around. The portion sizes are HUGE, the price is great, the food is tasty, what more could you ask for?? Really though, probably wouldn't eat in, the seating is a bit old and small but for takeout you cant beat rice express.

    I had my order delivered, the food was great. The service could use some feedback. Here it goes, I didn't get a fortune cookies if it wasn't for that I would have given 5 stars for service. Love the freshness. Good food.

    This place is delicious. The food is always perfectly prepared. The chicken is always tender and moist. And their creamy shrimp is phenomenal. It's has a sweet creamy white sauce and it's served over a bed of fresh cabbage. It's my favorite dish. I've never had anything at rice express that I didn't like.

    This place is 10 times better than any Panda Express I have ever been to. Food is delicious. The portions are way larger and the price is way cheaper than Panda. I highly recommend this place!!
