I debated leaving a review for this place for quite a while, but then decided to leave one so someone could be saved from the experience I had. My boyfriend and I went in for dinner, and the restaurant was empty, although getting a handful of takeout orders. We both got bento boxes, and an additional spicy tuna roll to split. When I tell you that the food was bad - I mean literally the worst Asian food I’ve had in my life. The sushi rolls, although were stated “freshly made”, were 100% from the Daniel’s grocery store next door (we went there after to get real food to eat and noticed the rolls look exactly the same, the seaweed salad is probably from there too). The eggrolls were for sure factory made and frozen, then bought in bulk and re-fried. The meat was so chewy we ended up spitting it out. The miso was fine, so was the tea, but that’s kinda hard to mess up. For the soy sauce dishes we were given metal decorative soap dishes that had metal flaking off into the food. The waiter brought out dinner for himself and tried to sit down with us and eat? We told him we’d like to sit alone, so he sat at the table next to us and listened in to our conversation the whole time and interjected? The fried rice was cold white rice that was clumped up with a little bit of soy sauce drizzled on top. It was so bizarre, we wanted good sushi as we eat it often, and I felt like I was being punk’d the whole time I was here. I could not recommend this place less. Also, I’ve looked at the reviews on yelp and one is clearly from the owner/family of - and his other reviews are just 1 star reviews of other Asian restaurants in the area? He seems to just post bad reviews for competition to get more customers, which I find...
Read moreRise restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience in Dallas. The restaurant's modern, sleek interior design creates a sophisticated and inviting ambiance, perfect for a romantic date or a night out with friends.
The menu at Rise is focused on contemporary American cuisine with a Southern twist, featuring locally sourced ingredients and inventive flavor combinations. One of the standout dishes is the fried chicken and waffles, a classic Southern comfort food with a twist. The chicken is crispy and juicy, while the waffles are light and fluffy, and the maple syrup adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
Another favorite dish is the grilled pork chop with black-eyed pea succotash and mustard jus. The pork chop is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. The black-eyed pea succotash is a unique and flavorful side dish that complements the pork perfectly, and the mustard jus adds a tangy and savory touch to the dish.
The service at Rise is exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The cocktail list is also impressive, with creative and delicious drinks that are expertly crafted.
Overall, I highly recommend Rise restaurant for anyone looking for a high-quality dining experience in Dallas. The food, atmosphere, and service are all top-notch, and I look forward to returning to Rise for another...
Read moreHave ordered here in the past when it was a classic Chinese American place. It was good then nothing exceptional but everything was done very well and good service.
I must say with the rebranding they have taken it up a notch. The food was freshly prepared and was flavorful. The preparation also was excellent could not have been happier.
The menu is more limited than you see at most restaurants of this type and I think it is a good thing. It still has more than enough choices for everyone but it allows them to keep things fresh and do them well.
Only one area for improvement is the egg rolls. They are still good but could be better.
I look forward to working my way...
