" A true gem, The Riksha stays true to the local Springfield twist on traditional Chinese food. I had the general chicken and found it to be lovely and crispy with just enough sauce. The only downside was the décor, which could use some sprucing up. Regardless, I had a great time and would happily return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
