Rickshaw Chinese Restaurant

A Pinole Institution with amazing prices, good service and absolutely delicious food.

Rickshaw Chinese Restaurant is a take out only There is no option of sitting down. Henceforth it is take out only. That's a plus you won't have to take out a loan to get good healthy food.There are some benches out sde if you can't wait to get home. It is popular with locals and those in the know. Food is displayed to see sells quickly so it always fresh . Never dried out from sitting at a steam table. Some nights a hour before closing at 8pm they maybe sold out of pork fried rice or barbecue pork loin or sweet and sour pork with vegetable The sauce is not too sweet not too sour. It's like Goldilock's porridge at the home of the three bears just right. Portions are big I can barely finish a pork fried rice with a sweet and sour pork entree. $12.50 includes tax.
The Chef takes pride in making good tasting food a simple menu with something for almost everyone. Yes I am a big fan of Chinese style cooking. Sometimes a simple dish made with care is just as good as a fancy complex food at 3 times the price. Highly recommend for the days you are just too tired to cook or just because you want to to enjoy their food. I only like to post positive reviews of well made foods.
This is definitely positively good food enjoy

Oh I'm coming back! This is my first time here and I'm floored add how competitive these prices are Plus finally a takeout place that has lemon chicken!!! The express is the best deal for $10 I'm getting everything I want I'm a potsticker person and a lemon chicken person and they even ask you what do you want more of rice or noodles!¡

I'm unfortunately not local so I won't be able to come here as much but for this price I'm willing to make the drive!!

Food is cheap but not great, better going to panda express. The people at the counter were super nice but I won't be choosing to eat here any time soon. They only accept cash unless you order online through doordash. Sweet and sour pork was okay, dried fried ribs less okay, potstickers were alright but nothing outstanding.

I went there recently on a sat afternoon to get some lemon chicken and fried rice and you could tell it was left over from the day before and they were just starting to heat it up I got there a little after they opened and I asked her if the children was fried fresh that day and she said yes we make everything fresh everyday I know that's a lie cause I've been there around closing and there wrapping all the food up and putting it away somewhere. When I got to the car and tryed the chicken it was soggy and cold on the inside so she just lied to my face and sold me leftover fried chicken. I'm never stepping foot in that place again or spending another penny there they just lost a long time repeat loyal customer. I recommend not going there as there not a honest business and will sell you stale leftover food from the day before

Great service and delicious Chinese food. For $10 you get a ton of food that could feed two. They are very generous on the portions. The bbq pork was bomb. Highly recommend!
