Great place to dine in. My daughter and I get takeout from here once in a while and then we have time sit down and eat.

The octopus kebab was tasty, but definitely overcooked (very very rubbery). I also had fried calamari (tasted great). The entree ordered was braised beef with rice. The taste was good (not wow), but pretty good. Service was excellent (very attentive).

EDIT: I called the restaurant back as requested in their response and I was not offered a refund, but a $20 gift card. I was told that this is a family business and I should take my review down. I was also told that maybe I didn't like the food because of my mood when I was eating the food and my personal feelings that day. I was also told that I upset the owner because of my review and that they don't want ME to hurt their business. I wanted a refund, not a gift card to a restaurant I'm not willing to eat at again. Unprofessional response.
ORIGINAL POST: The food was mostly awful. Overcooked slop like fried rice, Bourbon Chicken was very dry chicken squares floating in a full bowl sauce, and I mean to the rim, seeping into the rice, making it like a thick soup like consistency. I ended up draining it and giving it go the dog.
Steamed Pot Stickers were good, dipping sauce also good.
Egg rolls outside was crunchy, but raw dough on the inside and the filling had some kind of meat or chicken or liver ground like sand, tasted like organs. No one wanted them.
The General Tso was ok, steamed white rice ok. The Crab Rangoon was HORRIBLE. it had thick yellow slimy sauce dumped over the fried Rangoon, absolutely gross. Why would they do that, I don't know but it was disgusting and unexpected.
Kids Chicken Lo Mein was abismal at best, tasteless and overcooked noodles. We won't be ordering anymore. $60 of garbage food. Waste of money. When will Bradenton ever get a good Chinese Food place?

The staff here is top notch. They serve real portions, rather than skimping on size - good deal for the money. Good Chinese food is tough to find, and so is great service but Rice Bowl is a great place to grab a bite.
I have been to the Rice Bowl a lot. It NEVER disappoints! I've done dine in and takeout and delivery. All great service. The owners are amazing kind people. The staff is great. The food is FANTASTIC! I highly recommend the Rice Bowl!!!

This restaurant lacks in the atmosphere department but it overachieves with the food. We had sushi, rice and crab Rangoon with a multiple of their sauces, every dish we tried was a home run. Will absolutely be returning, best fried rice I’ve had in Sarasota/Bradenton, very well deserved 5 stars. Service was above expectations, plenty of parking.
