" Rice Bowl has a fantastic selection, but my last visit was a rollercoaster. The service started strong, but we ended up waiting 40 minutes for our food. The authentic menu is impressive, featuring both Chinese and Japanese options. When the food finally arrived, it was delicious but the delay put a damper on the evening. I still love this restaurant, and I will be back but with lowered expectations on service timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I adored the sushi but found their Chinese food left something to be desired. My Mongolian beef was overcooked, and the rice was bland. The decor is somewhat dated and could use a refresh. However, if you are looking for sushi, this is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited the Rice Bowl and had an outstanding dining experience! The sushi was exceptionally fresh, and the honey walnut shrimp was some of the best I've had. The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a casual dinner out. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be returning soon to try more of their diverse menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The rice bowl curry is to die for and the bread was fresh. I can still taste the blend of flavors in my mouth. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was friendly. I only wish the menu had more vegetarian options. That would make it truly comprehensive for everyone. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s a bit hit or miss sometimes here. The chow mein can be fantastic, but I once had the most bland chicken curry. Service varies; some days you get attentive staff, other times they seem overwhelmed. It’s an okay spot for a casual meal but I wouldn’t plan anything special around it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Rice Bowl is one of the main attractions for me. I love the fusion of Chinese and Japanese styles in their decor. The staff are always welcoming, and the food does not disappoint! Tried the dessert sushi for the first time during my last visit, and I genuinely enjoyed it! It's not common to find such diverse offerings in one place. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Chico, this place is a must-visit! The menu has so much variety, and everything I've tried is delicious. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. The cozy ambiance is perfect for date nights. I can't recommend this place enough—don't miss out on their Misoshiru soup; it's divine! " (*Curated Review*)
