Rico Chino — Restaurant in Orlando

I had high hopes for this place, but it fell short in multiple areas. Everything seemed sub-par and mediocre at best. The establishment, service, and food were all disappointing in my opinion.

For such a small place, I feel they should be able to keep it much more clean and tidy. The service was bland and the food was disappointing. The only real positive were the prices. I ordered the beef and broccoli combo and the 2 piece fried chicken with French fries. I'm truly not trying to bash this place but I must be honest with my review. The brown sauce with the beef n broccoli had this weird aftertaste and although the fried rice was the best part of the entire meal, it too quickly became blah. I did like the smoked flavor that the rice had from the wok, but everything else was a miss. The fries were soggy (it was dine-in not take out) and while the chicken pieces were large snd crispy, it was obviously re-fried and not fresh. I also ordered "egg rolls" but we got 2 spring rolls instead, that were over-cooked.

Again, I really wanted to like this place but it was not a favorable experience. As a Puerto Rican from NYC who loves Chinese food, I feel this place is yet another bad representation of the PR-Chino fusion that has popped up throughout...

I'm a bit bummed out that I have to go back and edit my comment from two years ago. It's a little disheartening for me to have to do this. The food just isn't the same anymore. The chicken taste and look old like it have been re heat it. The shrimp, broccoli taste nasty. the broccoli was mushy and lacked any vibrant flavor. Even the garlic sauce, which usually adds a delightful kick, seemed to fall flat in this dish. It was a disappointing meal that left me wishing I had chosen something else from the menu. The sauce left a lingering flavor that I'm still trying to decipher. The only good thing was the rice. The Colombian lady in the front is absolutely careless! I mentioned my name was Raymond, and she wrote "Frieman." When I pointed it out, she just laughed and said, "Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it." It breaks my heart to have to say this but this will be my last time eating here. I used to love this place.

Two year Ago I love this Chinese food the only problem is that they take for ever with a order. But the food is amazing so I wait I...

I was a little concerned because of all the negative comments, but I decided to take a risk. I called and placed an order over the phone; the girl was super quick. When I arrived, the parking lot was packed, so it was a bit hard to find a spot. The place was full inside, and I thought to myself, “This place must be good.” The girl at the counter asked for my name, and since I gave it to her, my order was ready quickly. I spent more time getting out of the parking lot than actually waiting for the food! When I got home and finally tried it, I was pleased. It wasn't like the Chinese food in Puerto Rico, but it was better than most places I’ve been to. The boneless ribs were good, the orange chicken was okay, and the...
