" In my experience, Rice Kitchen serves some of the best Chinese takeout around Kalamazoo. Their kung pao chicken is genuinely spicy and loaded with veggies, unlike many other places where the heat is nonexistent. The service has been friendly, although during peak hours they can be a bit rushed. I noticed that the interior is not designed for dining in—it's primarily meant for takeout. Regardless, the convenience and quick service make it worth it. Just be sure to check the menu for daily specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Rice Kitchen and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food. Their house special is like no other, and the flavors were truly authentic. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something that leaves a lasting impression. The only downside is that the location is quite small, which can be a drawback if you prefer to eat in. Still, I left satisfied and will definitely be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was a bit underwhelmed with my recent visit to Rice Kitchen. While the food was decent, it didn’t live up to the hype I had been hearing. I ordered the general tso tofu; it was good but a bit bland for my taste. The environment felt a bit cluttered, and it was challenging to find a spot to sit. Staff was friendly enough, but I had to wait longer than expected for my order. Maybe I’ll give them another shot, but I have my reservations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience with Rice Kitchen. I ordered orange chicken, which I have loved in the past, but this time it was burnt and dry. I called to express my concerns, but my complaint was met with indifference—definitely not the service I was expecting. I’ve had better experiences before, but this visit was regrettable. It’s tough because I really enjoyed their food in the past. Hoping that this was just a one-off issue, but it’s something to consider before ordering. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has eaten at Rice Kitchen many times, and I can say it’s usually quite good. Their broccoli beef is one of my favorites, but I have noticed it can be hit or miss with freshness. Sometimes it’s fresh, and other times a bit soggy. I hope they can work on consistency; it would really elevate the dining experience in the long run. Overall, it’s still a solid choice for Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely terrible experience! I ordered the kung pao shrimp and it was overly salty and the shrimp tasted frozen. To make matters worse, they forgot my order of steamed dumplings. When I called to ask about it, the employee was incredibly rude and hung up on me! I will never order from this place again. It was my first time, and I had high hopes based on others’ reviews. What a letdown! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rice Kitchen has been a go-to for me and my family for years! The consistency in quality is commendable. Our favorites are the sesame chicken and spring rolls. However, I have experienced a few hiccups with their service; sometimes they seem overwhelmed during peak hours. Regardless, the experience of enjoying their food far outweighs any service complaints. Truly a value for money establishment! " (*Curated Review*)
