Rice kitchen Thai,Sushi & Hibachi — Restaurant in Tellico Village

Just splurged on some takeout for my daughter and I. We ordered the Teriyaki Chicken and Papa Crema Roll.

A. The Teriyaki Chicken is incredibly dry. B. The Teriyaki Chicken has ZERO sauce. It's not underneath, it's not pooled to one side. There is NONE. C. The Roll has inconsistent fillings. (Avocado only through 1/2 of the roll, Salmon only through 1/2, crab through the other 1/2). The toppings are askew due to being in a takeout container, so that's not their fault. Being in a container however, doesn't mean the filling is inconsistent).

I came home and added my own sauce hoping to help the Teriyaki Chicken, but the dryness makes it inedible. The meal was $32.

We would recommend Rice Kitchen and...

We almost didn’t stop in… the outside wasn’t very inviting & we thought it might be just a take out place. We ventured in and although the ambiance was very plain, the greetings from the staff was warm & inviting. We chose the Bento box & we were amazed at the beautiful & full plate that was brought to us. Everything was absolutely delicious! Light salad, crispy spring rolls, delicious fried teriyaki Tofu and fresh/tasty sushi - it was all so surprisingly good! We were served by the owner’s wife (that’s how she identified herself!). No alcohol is served but you can bring your wine. Living in Knoxville, we plan to regularly make a special trip to this area especially...
