What Amber Sok doesn't like about Rice Crook:
Used to love this place and want to come back every weekend (and trust me, I would) but they changed the menu and got rid of my favorite dishes. A huge loss but the new food isn’t as good tbh. Probably not coming back. View all feedback. What User likes about Rice Crook:
Fusion places are always tricky—it’s hard to replicate and mix multiple cuisines well—but Rice Crook does a really good job and I’ll be back! I’ve lived all over East and Southeast Asia my whole life and liked how this place fused flavors from across the region. The rice bowls are my go-to, and while this place isn’t cheap, the portions of meat (protein are generous. The popcorn chicken was tasty (and would be stella... View all feedback.

Great option for a takeout at the mall, or you can also eat there at the food court. They don't have pre-designed options anymore, so you have to make your own...

My favorite place to eat at Ballston Quarter, this restaurant always serves up hot and fresh food made to order. The only downside is the long wait times, even...

Located in the Ballston Quarter, Rice Crook offers a unique fusion of East and Southeast Asian flavors, served in generous portions. While many praise the delectable rice bowls and thoughtful vegetarian options, recent menu changes have left some loyal patrons disappointed. Service, however, appears to be a major sticking point; encounters with unprofessional staff and prolonged wait times detract from the dining experience. Despite these inconsistencies, the food has potential, with items like the OG Chinese Fried Rice showing promise. For those willing to overlook service hiccups, this spot could still be worth a visit.
