Rice and Roll’d - Manteca CA

I've been here about 5+ times now. The pho is delicious. The broth is NOT chalk full of MSG. (I know a Pho broth is good when it doesn't taste sweet & doesn't leave a heavy MSG aftertaste in your mouth.) R&R's broth is perfectly balanced. The herbs & bean sprouts are fresh. When they have coriander, it's a huge plus for me. Coriander is 100% best with Pho. The beef is nice & tender. The rice dishes & egg rolls are good as well. The Vietnamese iced coffee is great! Parking is small & sometimes the restaurant may be too packed, but it's worth the wait. Customer service is always 5 out of 5. I also love the Vietnamese old school decor. Overall, 5/5 stars. Highly recommend.

I got food poisoning after eating the chicken fried rice and the grandma crispy egg rolls. Whoever is the cook did not cook it very well.

They probably have the best chicken pho since I Moved out here in the valley and I always get the shrimp spring rolls too. Fresh and tasty, yummy. Chicken pho hugs you

Interior of the restaurant is nice but the food wasn’t that great. Has tonkatsu Bahn mi and the meat was hard and dry. The combo pho had too many ingredients which kind of messed up the taste. Noodles were dry too. Iced coffee had some sort of weird taste to it. Not really coffee flavor. Messed up part was they forgot to include my sandwich so the guy had to chase me outside. Good thing he was able to locate me in my mini van.

Food quality is the cheapest and it has probably been in the freezer for weeks, we asked for grilled steak and it had too much fat 80% fat. Pho was only boiled water
Service is the worst, waitress delivers food with a bad attitude

Stay away and go somewhere else.

Been wanting to try this place for mths now. Finally door dashed today. Sooo underwhelmed with Everything I order.

First off, I base my reviews of restaurants on that cusines signature dish. I do not compare restaurant to restaurant.

Second, the basic combo Pho is my goto order when first trying any Vietnamese restaurant. If they can master their pho broth, then I know the intuition of the chefs/cooks will playout in every other dish they offer.

I am one of those pho people that enjoy the broth at its purest state after simmering for hours. I do not pollute any pho broth by adding condiments. I had to compromise with RiceNRolls broth. I had to actually break my fish sauce outta fridge, just to add umami, and use the condiments provided. For me, this rarely happens with restaurant broth.

RiceNRoll broth had zero flavor, not just saltiness, but zero basic pho seasoning herbal flavor. One thing it did have was a decent beefy depth in the broth, that's the 2stars. I paid $16 for a large, I got 3 slices super thin brisket, 5 slices of rare beef, 3 strands of tripe, 1 cube of tendon, 2 slices of flank, I think. The meat to noodles ratio was lacking for the value of the price paid.

The spring rolls were fine. If anyone messes up spring rolls, just hang up the chef hat.

Ok, now, this is what threw me over the edge. I order a Vietnamese Coffee, light ice, less sugar. WTAF riceNroll?!!

I got a generic latte posing as a Vietnamese Coffee. Anyone who has had a Vietnamese Coffee understands the flavor profile. RiceNRoll Coffee had Zero, I mean ZERO boldness, not even a touch of the bitterness undertones, and why The Hell would you put creamer/halfnhalf in my Vietnamese Coffee. Where the hell was the condensed milk. I requested less sweet, Not less Vietnamese!

Yeah, so in conclusion. It is blantly apparent that most Ethic restaurants in small towns cater to the demographic. They can get away with less effort being put into showcasing a cusine in the best possible light without much backlash.

I'm so dissapoint I have yet to find a decent Vietnamese restaurant in Manteca. I have tried every single one. I live in Stockton but on the outskirts closer to Manteca and wish I didn't have to drive to north Stockton every time I wanted a decent bowl of Pho.

Someone sign my petition to bring at least 1 decent Vietnamese Restaurant to SouthSide Stockton! Everyone's scared if us ?

Food is delicious but 30 minutes for our drinks is ridiculous. Asked for a to-go box and he kept forgetting. Walked up with the water pitcher, I moved my glass to him and he just looked at it and walked away. With some better service this place would be 5 stars

The best comfort food one can have. Craving some pho on a cold night and wanted to try this place. Glad I decided to stop by. Wanted some pho but saw that they had some bun Bo hue, so I decide to go with that instead. The flavors of the broth was perfect. Usually I would need to add some spices or something to spruce up the broth, but in this case, it held up its own. The place felt a bit authentic in their flavors based on the other places I’ve tried. However, I would not really know until I visit Vietnam. Can’t wait to come back to try other things on their menu.
