" I was looking for a nice spot for a quick lunch and stumbled upon The Riksha. I enjoyed my meal, especially their unique version of cashew chicken. However, I feel the prices could be a bit more competitive. The service was fast and the staff were friendly, so that helped my experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed during my first visit to The Riksha. Though I had heard good things, the service was subpar, and the food was mediocre at best. My general chicken was bland and overly saucy, lacking the flavor depth I expected. I'll give it another shot in the future, but my first impression was not a great one. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say The Riksha has the best cashew chicken I've ever tasted. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the meal overall was affordable for the quality provided. I love the little cozy feel of the place too, making it perfect for a friendly outing or a date night. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has tried various Chinese restaurants, my experience at The Riksha was mixed. While the food was good, it didn't quite match the authentic flavors I hoped for. My vegetable lo mein was decent, but lacked seasoning. On the plus side, the service was prompt and the environment was clean and friendly. Worth a try if you're in the area, but I wouldn’t rush back immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit to The Riksha left me feeling average. The food was good but not amazing. The cashew chicken, while decent, did not have the traditional flavor I anticipated. The staff was friendly, though I felt a bit rushed during the meal. Probably wouldn’t be my first choice next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are in Springfield, don't miss out on The Riksha! Their cashew chicken is a local legend for a reason! The service is always on point, and the prices are fairly reasonable for the portion size. I always look forward to my visits here. You won’t regret trying it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried The Riksha for the first time recently after hearing mixed reviews; however, I was pleasantly surprised! The cashew chicken was authentic and had the right amount of crunch and flavor. The place has a laid-back atmosphere which is perfect for a casual lunch. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
