Riceworks Asian Street Food Meridian

Chicken was overcooked and of poor quality. Rice was bone dry, almost inedible. Service was extremely slow. We had to ask for our second drink since the cashier rang us up, poured one drink, then walked off. RiceWorks used to be pretty good, but we won't be returning after this visit.

I've been a big fan of RiceWorks both at the Village and in Kuna for quite some time. While my service is always great and the food is always delicious, I lucked out last week and had some of the best service at any restaurant in a long time.

To give some background, I'm one of those annoying (admittedly) people who add this, remove that. I don't want to be a picky eater but here we are. Josh and Kalal not only made my food EXACTLY like I wanted, but were incredibly kind. There was literally nothing they forgot and even remembered what beverage I was drinking when I came back for a refill. I've been telling everyone I could about it and will definitely be going back this week!

Since I work in the village I eat here a TON and it’s always a 10/10. Everyone who works there has great style and are so sweet. I love to chat with them. Always recommend this place <3

We had late lunch here today. Excellent food at a reasonable price. We ordered the general tzo chicken which comes with veggies and rice, level 3 heat and pot stickers. All was Excellent, fresh and hot food. Sauce in chicken dish was on point. We shared this meal and more than enough food. Recommend this spot highly!

Anytime I’ve ordered here the meat is drenched in extremely sweet sauce - almost to the point it’s inedible. Service is fine and I don’t mind the Kuna location, but it feels like the Meridian location is an afterthought.

Why does everyone make Asian food sweet? If you just want a snack & some people watching, this food court establishment will fill the bill. Potstickers (they come spicy too) are fried, but like halfway so they're weirdly home microwaved-looking, lacking crunch. They do have flavor & the dipping sauce isn't too sweet. But everything else, from the bulgogi to the yellow curry, is.

Last time I was here it was a lot better, cheaper, quicker, and a better ratio of toppings to rice. They are pretty heavy on the “RICE”works part of the name. 5 yrs ago it was 60% the current cost. They were out of soda and charged us for water cups, not the end of the world but could comp that when CO2 is out. Dishes used to be about 50/50 ratio rice to toppings and now seem about 75/25 rice to toppings.

Overpriced and lacking quality. Teriyaki sauce was thin and tasteless, didn't even stick to chicken. Also tried to charge me 94 cents for a cup of water which I found to be egregious, luckily I noticed and stopped them. Teenage kids taking money and preparing food with same unwashed hands. No gloves in sight.

Man the food is bomb but the service is outstanding way to go rice works ! Man these smells are good too. Beef is delicious.

Came in last night. I haven’t been to Rice Works before & haven’t been in this building since it was El Gallo.
The building looks great and the bathrooms were clean. The Miso soup was a nice touch before our meal came out. I got the Sweet & Sour Chicken and it was amazing. Love the stir fry vegetables as well. Chef Wally came and checked on us and our server was very nice as well. Will come back!
