LA CAS SQUAD...

First time eating here and will not eat here again, we ordered dumpling soup, spicy prawn basil chili(the taste was really bad (this is a main course)), white rice, cheese & fried salmon(a main course as well we ordered the 4 pcs which is 23 QAR only), and spicy mix sushi bowl. Before entering the restaurant we asked the waiter if they accepts Entertainer voucher and he said yes, we had a 2 main course buy 1 get 1 45QAR voucher. When we are about to pay they got us confused with there entertainer voucher discount rules telling us that we did not ordered 2 main course even the cheese & fried salmon rolls and the spicy prawn basil chili are main courses, instead of deducting the voucher which is 45 QAR, they insist on telling us that we can get another cheese & fried salmon rolls for free so we can avail the voucher so they deducted only 23 QAR, I am not an expert with using this vouchers because we just used this for the 2nd time in this restaurant , we used this entertainer voucher at first in RAMEN restaurant and everything was smooth and we ordered 2 main course and one main course was for free even if the price was more than what was on the voucher. That is why the experience here in rice and noodles restaurant souq waqif branch aside from the taste of the food and the service was not good as well, imagine the waiter was not attentive when we finished paying the bill he told us why you did not inform me that you have entertainer voucher and we were shocked, and told him that we did inform you from the very beginning. I am not usually writing comments in restaurants but paying 175QAR for food it should at least...

If you're craving a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cuisine, look no further than this restaurant, nestled in the heart of Souq Waqif. Offering a diverse selection of dishes from these three culinary traditions, this restaurant delivers an authentic and satisfying experience.

During our visit, we opted for Chinese food, ordering:

Fried rice with garlic and shrimp – perfectly seasoned and full of flavor.

Sweet and sour – a well-balanced dish with just the right blend of tanginess and sweetness.

Crab corn soup – creamy, rich, and comforting.

Dumplings – freshly made, juicy, and bursting with taste.

Every dish was super delicious, prepared with high-quality ingredients and well-executed flavors.

Adding to the great experience was our waitress, Mary, who was exceptionally friendly and cooperative, ensuring we had everything we needed. The restaurant's ambiance is another highlight—a blend of cozy and vibrant vibes, with both indoor and outdoor seating available, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

Whether you're in the mood for sushi, stir-fried noodles, or a steaming bowl of Tom Yum, this place has something for everyone. Definitely...
