Rice and Noodle — Restaurant in McKinney

Don’t waste your money or time. We decided to try this restaurant for the first time tonight based on its positive reviews, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. We ordered General Tso’s Chicken with Lo Mein, Honey Sesame Chicken, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon, Chicken Wonton Soup, Shrimp Tempura, and two sides of Fried Rice. Sadly, this was by far the worst Chinese food we’ve ever had here in Dallas. Panda Express would've been better and cheaper.

The Honey Sesame Chicken and General Tso’s Chicken were both dry, chewy, and clearly not fresh. The sauce had pooled at the bottom of the containers, making it obvious the food had been sitting out for quite some time. When we called to voice our concerns, Carlos was argumentative and informed us that the food was made earlier this morning, with the last batch cooked around 4 PM due to being busy. Admitting the food was made hours ago only confirmed our suspicion that it was old.

The egg roll didn’t even resemble an egg roll—it looked more like a spring roll—and it was dry and cold. The Crab Rangoon, Shrimp Tempura, and crispy noodles (for the soup) were similarly disappointing—greasy, stale, and unappetizing and The Lo Mein was overcooked.

The only saving grace was the Fried Rice, which was better than the rest of the dishes, though still not exceptional.

To address our complaints, Carlos offered us a $30 credit toward a future order. However, we’re not satisfied with that resolution. After this experience, we’re hesitant to order from here again, as we don’t believe they can deliver either quality food or good customer service. What was supposed to be a quick and easy dinner turned into a frustrating ordeal, and we’re now left scrambling to find something else to eat.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend...

Oh man, where do I even start with Rice & Noodle?

This cozy joint tucked away in McKinney, Texas, right next to Walmart, has been my culinary haven for the past four years.

It's the kind of place that greets you with the comforting aroma of spices the moment you step in.

The menu is a delightful voyage across Asia, offering a medley of flavors from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.

However, the star of the show for me has always been their Hibachi Fried Rice with chicken, kicked up a notch with some extra spice.

It's my go-to dish that's packed with just the right amount of heat, a feast of flavors that dances on the palate.

The authenticity of the dishes here is something you can taste, and it keeps me coming back for more.

Every bite is a testament to the skilled hands that crafted it.

It's not just about the food though; the ambiance is warm and the service friendly.

It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed, whether you're a first-timer or a regular like me.

The consistency in quality over the years is truly commendable.

It’s evident that Rice & Noodle isn’t about just serving food; it’s about delivering a satisfying experience.

Whether I've popped in for a quick meal after a shopping spree or decided to dine in and soak in the casual, comfy vibe, the place has never fallen short of expectations.

And let's not forget, the convenience of its location is just the cherry on top.

In a nutshell, Rice & Noodle is that reliable spot for a hearty, flavorful meal.

It’s a place that has etched a special place in my foodie heart, and the spicy kick of that Hibachi Fried Rice with chicken is something I find myself craving time and again.

It’s a hearty recommendation from me for anyone looking to explore authentic Asian flavors...

I really hate to give a bad review, but this was the most uneditable Chinese food I have ever attempted to eat in my life. I ordered this on DoorDash and got the deal for two orange chickens for almost $19. I didn’t realize that this was all the way over on Custer so I ended up having to pay a long distance fee: The orange chicken barely had any sauce on it. Usually, you can have or see the sauce on the bottom there was no sauce on the bottom. Second, the chicken was so overcooked you couldn’t even eat it. I’m talking about beef jerky overcooked and I’m not even kidding. I’m posting some pictures of my meal which I threw away. I even split one open and you can tell that the chicken does not look juicy like it’s supposed to. It was way overcooked and taste tasted as if it sat there for 12 hours. Not fresh with the orange taste not juicy like chicken supposed to be chewy tough overcooked is what you get with barely any orange sauce on it. I cannot recommend this restaurant. I will recommend YUM. There are two of them one in Little Elm and one in Their Frisco both on 423. I have been eating there for the last 13 years. Their Food quality never changes. I circled the pieces of chicken where you can tell that they’re dry or small pieces, but I did open up a piece of chicken so you can see it is not juicy whatsoever. The arrows are pointing to the The chicken where it should be lots of sauce, and there’s really...
