Rice Express

This will always be my favorite Chinese food place!
We always order cream cheese wontons (to die for. Now we get two orders for the family so every one gets enough) and sesame beef. The wonton soup and egg rolls are delicious as well. Sometimes we get the chicken chow mein or chicken chow fun (the noodles were dry once so maybe the chow mein is better).

I want to say sorry for the crummy photos but the family was so hungry that they ripped into the food before I could get a good shot. This place is always good and decent. Very reliable. The service is always friendly and that is why when the Chinese food pangs hit, we hit Rice Express. Our order this time through was Egg Rolls, Pork Chow Mein, Vegetable Fried Rice and Kung Pao Chicken. The chicken stands out as the best entrée with generous amounts of chicken, solid spice level and tons of peanuts and water chestnuts to give it crunch. This place has never let me down.

This is a great local place for Chinese food! Good quality meat, good prices, good for kids too!

Great Chinese food! I had the Szechuan Chicken and it was amazing! House fried rice was also great!

When I ordered I said, it’s my first time here, please impress me. Anything but that. I ordered to go…
The bag fell apart on the way home and the «sauce» spilled in my car. So that was disappointing because after I got done eating I had to clean my car. Also really pissed that it ruined my sun hat that was on the floor board.
The quality of meat was horrible. Beef broccoli tasted funny n smelled gross. Chicken pieces were small n chewy. Food was lukewarm by the time I got home and I live 1.4miles away.
The salad was soaked in dressing and the lettuce was not fresh, way too soggy as if it had been made and sitting in sauce for a while…
Oh the worse part, what little we ate we paid for later on the way out… Go ahead try it, your stomach will give you the real results later. Waste of money n waste of time.
Shame on you for calling that service n food

I’ve been going to this restaurant for at least 20 years now and it’s consistently wonderful. The staff is very friendly and the food is always quick to the table and piping hot. Order the sesame chicken, wonton soup, and egg rolls… you won’t be sorry.

Best potstickers ever to be eaten. Also highly recommend the chicken chow mein! Both are must haves. Good service as well. Love rice express!!!

Always super nice and friendly. The food is very fresh and delicious. The potstickers take a little longer but are fantastic, so well worth the extra wait.

The pot stickers here are by far the best I have ever had. A must have whether doing take out or dine in. The fried rice is also delicious. The main entrees were not particularly memorable, yet, still good. Have ordered take out fried rice and pot stickers several times since our first visit.

This food is bland and tasteless. It tastes Old… and not a good Old… like two day old chinese leftovers in the fridge… When I’m eating my KungPow Chicken, I should not be thinking «I wonder how old this chicken is… these bell peppers are definitely old… I know what old rotten vegetables look like… The onions have no flavor left in them, these have to be old.
I’m giving three stars because I know that Unilocal will hide the review if I were to put One Star. So they get Three stars because people need to read that this place is gross.

We read the reviews here, and have been warned, but we really did not expect the food to be so tasteless. Mongolian beef and beef with broccoli we ordered to go were totally disappointing. Won-​ton cabbage soup simply had no taste, nothing. I am so amazed how they managed to ruin these simple and very common dishes. We order these all the time but have never been to a restaurant that provided something so tasteless and bland. Would not recommend at all.

First time coming here I have to admit it was delicious. I ordered the House Chow Mien with Fried Rice, Yum ! Very friendly waiter and very clean. Will be coming coming back, recommend for anyone wanting some tasty not to high priced Chinese food.

I have come to this place so many times over the years and they are amazing! Very clean, and everything is made to order. Portions are huge enough to split. Very good!

Rice Express has the best Chinese food in the Folsom/​El Dorado Hills area. Have tried lots of dishes on their menu. Everything is great! Even their ice water is delicious. The service is excellent too.

My sister came from out of town and wanted chinese take out. We went and ordered chicken and beef dishes for take out.
Came home to find out the most bland and tasteless food i have ever had. Panda express is a thousand times better than this waste of money

After reading the reviews, I was really looking forward to getting take out here. «Hidden treasure» is one of my favorite quotes. What a dissapointment that one of the dishes, the beef wth snowpeas, was terrible! Tasteless! It wasn’t just not delicious, it was blah. You couldn’t tell what the dish was. I ate few bites because I was hungry, but didn’t go beyond that.
I will note that the my Shu shrimp was good. Still, that didn’t make up for the fact that one of our two dishes was very bad.
I was torn whether to post one or two stars cause one of dishes was good, but the end of the story is that I will never go back.

We have had Rice Express as our favorite Chinese restaurant for many years. We go there at least once a month. The food is great, especially the pot stickers and the sesame beef. My son loves the crab won tons and our neighbors also call it great and love the won ton soup. We usually order extra so that we have left overs for the next day.
The owners and staff are very friendly and treat everyone like family. They have a very loyal base of customers. Definitely a thumbs up, 5 stars.

So bummed. Even panda is better than this. Tried the crab and cheese wontons. Tasted of only cream cheese. The Szechuan chicken was nasty, it was like orange chicken with hot sauce. Worst ever. Wen the fried rice was lacking. I have had better mall Chinese food then this. Can’t believe the ratings of this place, people obviously never had good Chinese food

Cannot believe how Rice Express received such high ratings from Unilocal!My family ordered for the first and last time from Rice Express a few weeks ago. We’ve ordered 6 different dishes, all of them were overly sweet. Don’t get me wrong, my family have a ‘sweet tooth’.
I agreed with other Unilocalers while the portion you receive vs $ are positives, but the quality/​taste is sub-​par. Sorry to say… I’ll not recommend Rice Express to others.

Been going here for years. Looks like any other strip-​mall Chinese, but there really is a reason they are the only place in business still left. Just great, tasty, substantial, and consistent food. Friendly staff. Fresh ingredient specials on the board.
Do. Not. Miss. the pot stickers. They take a little extra time, but totally, totally worth it.
