Noodle & Rice House — Restaurant in Lakewood

This is my second time to this place. Once by myself during duty and once with my wife on a lunch break. 5/5 on this review may seem like "come on, really?". This place deserves the 5/5 from my experience being there two different times with different orders.

I've ordered before the Won Tons, Spam and Eggs Noodle, and as pictured, the Shrimp Tempura Sushi Burrito. Every single time I've ordered there was at least a 10-15 minute wait, but you can't rush delicious food. The food and taste are made to order and do not disappoint. This menu is not meant to be rushed and churned out on a whim. Go to the other side of the BX if you are in a hurry. If you have spare time to burn, I highly recommend you put it into this place.

Today, I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Sushi Burrito. They had a long line and kept going for at least 30 min after I ordered. The service was friendly and attentive. The waitress was polite and with the orders and service, she was overwhelmed, but she continued to be professional and assisted everyone. She even went out of the cashiers box and read the menu to an elderly couple who wanted to order. When I got my food....wow. The Sushi Burrito has so much flavor and presentation. I could not believe that this type of food was available at the BX. Not knocking on the other restaurants, but variety with flavor is much welcomed. The Tempura was warm and crispy with the outside being fresh and solid. The sauce was amazing and not overwhelming. After having a few bites, I ordered another To-go for my wife. When she came home, I threw it on the air fryer for 5 minutes and she was happy with the flavor and disappointed she didn't eat it fresh.

I recommend this place hands down. This type of food at a military base is amazing and I want the best for...

Got a general tso chicken bowl, a beef skewer, and a honey dew milk tea.

Rice was really good, chicken was okay, but there was a massive black hair like a foot long in the bowl.

The beef skewer had good flavor, but it was dry as hell like it was under a heat lamp for 2 days after it had been made fresh.

The milk tea tasted fine, but the boba was kinda nasty, was like soft and mushy on the outside, and firm in the center.

This was the only thing I ate today, so I know it wasn't anything else. My gut is absolutely churning.

I usually eat a lot of ridiculous stuff where I'm like, yeah, that was a bad decision, but this was bad enough all the way through that I needed to say...

Excellent food! We ate at the food truck last week. They do need a bigger sign, the place is tucked away in a corner but we found it. Love the way food is kept above the broth so nothing gets soggy. He was out of wontons so substituted chicken dumplings. Just as good. Lots of cilantro, good crunch on the stems, I think there was a small sheet of nori, it was delightful! Hub has the Braised Noodle soup, no leftovers for him. I liked the takoyaki (octopus Balls), hub not so much. I didn't care the red bean dim sum but hubby did. The red bean glutinous rice reminded me of Hawaii....
