Not gonna lie, I'm impressed.
A restaurant dedicated to fried rice and a few dudes that go with it? Tell me more!
As you can see from the picture, big ol portions. They thinly cut the meats (I got beef and Chinese sausage) and the mushrooms(I forget what kind) are a nice touch. I would've preferred a darker mushroom like shitake, but with the truffle it prob would've been too rich/umami forward.
Speaking of truffle, it's got good balance -never overpowered. I do have a higher tolerance for that rich taste so I'm bias
I would've loved bigger cuts of meat and more egg, but I'm not hurting over it either.
Heads up - the pork chop is more like tonkatsu at Japanese restaurant rather than Hawaiian - thin crust/pork cutlet, and thinly cut. Very good, I just wish it had tonkatsu sauce lol.
Coming back for the chicken wings next time😁
TLDR solid 4.5/5. Very solid meat/rice ratio, balanced flavor, generous portions. Worth the 5 stars for putting out a truffle rice that's🔥 and committing to...
Read moreWe're pretty picky eaters (foodies) but the fried rice here is SO good and the portions are nice and big.
We got takeout and everything came out hot and fresh and only took about 15 minutes.
We tried: Basil chicken fried rice, truffle mushroom beef fried rice, a custom fried rice, Brussels sprouts, potstickers, egg rolls, and chicken wings.
Everything was excellent but standouts were: all the fried rice dishes, Brussels and potstickers. The fried rice is light, not overly oily or salty and the flavors are different and deeper than your typical fried rice.
I want to add that the staff (owners?) are incredibly nice. We forgot to specify 'no eggs' in one of our meals - totally our fault - but they offered to let us return it and get it remade for free. We really appreciated that but didn't take them up on it because it's a new business and we want to support them. Try this place...
Read moreI have gotten delivery and take-out from Soul Rice a few times when I have friends over. The dishes are very good considering the prices.
Our favorite is definitely the Truffle Beef Mushroom Fried Rice. The Chow Fun is also good. We like how the meat is cut to just the right size and has a tender texture. The Honey Walnut Prawns w/Pumpkin is too sweet for us, but the prawns are nice and big. The vegetable dishes could use a little more work. While we love the taste and cut of the eggplants in the Basil Garlic Eggplant, we don't appreciate the thick basil stems in it. The stems totally ruined the dish.
A big thumbs up for the restaurant using fresh ingredients in their cooking. I might choose to dine in one of these days, and try...
