The scenery is gigantic and beautiful. Stunning with statues, decorations, lighting, and the layout. There are three "rooms" you can eat at: Chinese, Japanese, and the Sushi Bar. Each room is set apart from one another and their aesthetics are jaw dropping. The staff are friendly and very polite. With three different kitchens, the Sushi Bar, Japanese kitchen, and Chinese kitchen, it is understandable to have food come out at different times. I personally didn't mind that but good for new comers to know! There is a small sanctuary containing two koi fish, multiple small black fish and small turtles in a pond. It was an adorable sight to see. Each have names and fun facts about the animals. There is a large tank located in the Sushi Bar with a variety of stunning fish. The care and appreciat

If you enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals, and really like stirfry, Kung pow chicken, sweet-and-sour pork, any of the Chinese favorites it’s cheaper to just buy them at Rice Bowl and they are so affordable and so plentiful that it will last you a long time .. They are so generous with their portions and the quality is so fresh and good for you. It’s cheaper to just buy food from them once a week if you’re like me and you’re not really good at making excellent stirfry they have all the ingredients and is so delicious and fresh. …Fried items like egg rolls and cheese, crab wontons are cooked with extremely good oil unlike other places. Beef and broccoli, chicken chow mien is all phenomenal. Nothing less than five stars.. Delivery only cost six dollars to deliver. This is gonna be my go to ever

Their menu is huge with lots of variety. We tried the shrimp fried rice, kung pao tofu, and crispy chicken — all were delicious! The portions are very generous, and the prices are quite reasonable.

I went there today and ordered a Mongolian beef. The plate came out with about 90% onion and just a little bit of beef , it honestly was like an onion plate. I told the server and he said he’d check with the kitchen. He came back saying he talked to his manager and they gave me a small discount which is only $5. Not even caring about their customers and not even offered anything else to cover that up . I understand the economy is jacking the prices up, but I don’t expect to be served 90% onion and 10% beef. I came to eat, not to leave hungry . Really disappointing.

Absolutely delicious! Was visiting Chico to see some family and this place popped up. Very glad we went; the sushi rolls were bomb and the crab rangoons are AMAZING. (No pics as they didn’t stay on the plate long enough!) The fortune cookies are also very good! You can buy a bag of 12 for $1 at the front counter and I got two. The service was also great, no complaints there. Overall a very good sushi stop! Will definitely be visiting again when I find myself back on the West Coast.
