Riceworks Asian Street Food Meridian

Was a huge disappointment!!! First I have had sushi at their kuna store. Was not bad on a scale of one to ten, it was a strong 4. But I understand that we’re 9 hrs from sea…what you expect. First the place was a mess. The stainless steel hood in I guess it’s a kitchen, was filthy . On top of that people were outside cleaning windows. They had big plastic jugs about 4 gallons in size on the counters. There are no bathrooms inside that I could see!! Maybe I’m being unrealistic I don’t want sit down and look at people cleaning widows. If you have a restaurant in kuna you would think you could get the same thing at the restaurant in meridian. Don’t laugh but they share their space with a coffee shop.i felt like I was having my car washed and eating while it was being washed.did not know how say this but not having a bathroom inside is a big deal because I’m in wheelchair and you can count on the fact that I would never go there with snow on the ground be a nightmare for me.

Food is frsha and tastes great. It's always made to order. I consistently get the generals chicken. They ask for what spice level you'd like so if you're concerned something is too spicy ask for a lower spice level. Crew is always super chill and professional. One of my favorites in the Village! I gave the atmosphere a 3 because it has a cafeteria vibe when the walls are closed. Can be a bit loud, the ventilation isn't great so expect to smell like Asian food and coffee when you come out. Riceworks Asian is very good though! I just choose to take it outside.

I asked how spicy the ninja chicken was before ordering it, and I don't know if they thought I was too white for it or what, but it wasn't spicy at all. Still tasted good though and would get again.

Chicken was over cooked and extremely dry. Owner responded and made it right. Stated a new employee overcooked the meat, which i believe these days. I will try again next week and review again.

Food was great once my friend got it. I got mine 20 min before her. I went and asked if it was almost ready and the cashier responded “oh it’s been ready a while I just didn’t know how to pronounce the name” her name is not hard either. They weren’t busy and could have easily walked it over or even try to pronounce it and get it wrong, she would have gotten the memo.

Unfortunately the food we were served was terrible. The chicken was hard as a rock almost impossible to chew. Like jerky! This was our first experience here and super disappointed especially for $35

The rice doesn’t taste right, like instant rice. Not steamed cooked.
