I've had the General Tso's chicken, Sesame chicken and sweet & sour chicken and that's the order I'd rank them in for goodness. The General's chicken was nice and spicy. The Sesame chicken was a little sweet for me and the sweet & sour was just "meh". The quality of the chicken was good though. I love their egg rolls and crab rangoons, and their fried rice. The won ton soup is nothing to write home about though: very bland.Overall, I like Rice Kitchen and will continue to order from them. Delivery is reasonably fast, the quality is consistent and the price is right.

Their ingredients are fresh and their meats are surprisingly quality (i.e. "real") despite how inexpensive the food is, but everything I've tried from Rice Kitchen is unreasonably greasy and from time to time on the bland side. I've had much worse and much better Chinese food - I'd say Rice Kitchen is just average to slightly less than average depending on the day.On a more disturbing note, the place is truly filthy inside. I would never ever eat inside, and I honestly am scared of what lurks behind their curtain in the kitchen if their idea of how the keep the public area's appearance is acceptable to them.Aside from the location, I can't think of any reason I'd order from Rice Kitchen again.

Food can be good sometimes if ordered off peak hours. However, if you order when they are busy it takes them a while to get to you and by then, the food is all soggy and if you order a drink, it will be room temperature. Best chinese takeout in East Lansing, but that's like winning the special olympics, it don't mean much.?

I have been a loyal customer to Rice Kitchen for several months now, and I will no longer ever order food from this company again. I made an order for my employees at my business and when the food arrived, there were metal shavings in my meal. I called to Rice Kitchen to make a complaint, and all I received from them was them telling me not to order food from them anymore. They also were yelling at me for calling them upset, even though I had good enough reason. They were extremely rude to me when this was created by themselves. They also confirmed that this has happened plenty of times before with others. These people do not appreciate that fact that I could have been hurt from eating this. I am very surprised that this hasn't been addressed with the health dept or the state. I am not sure if I will be the one to address this further, but none the less and this being said... I WILL NEVER ORDER FOOD FROM RICE KITCHEN EVER AGAIN! That is a FACT! I suggest you order from somewhere ...? More ?

I worked there for roughly a week. Health code, labor code, pretty much every code is broken, guaranteed. Don't get me wrong, their food is DELICIOUS, but everybody there is getting paid under the table, and the Mexicans in the back that make the food only get $3/hr. Also I'm no food safety expert, but when I was there they kept their chicken in a bucket at room temperature on the floor. A couple of my friends got sick from it. I missed a shift because I was sick and they fired me. So I'ma disgruntled former employee, but for real. Don't order chicken there. But the crab rangoons are safe! They buy them frozen and fry them, and they're delicious. Order those to avoid salmonella.?

I was trying to ignore the social skill deprived people in Rice Kitchen but today I decided not to buy anything from them again. For a decent price you get some shouting, irritation and good food. They cannot speak English well and when you ask them to repeat what they said, they shout. When you ask them not to shout they say "I'M NOT SHOUTING" :) Food is good though.?
