What Dee D likes about Sizzling Rice Restaurant:

The Sizzling Rice restaurant has a mix of reviews, ranging from very negative to positive. Some customers were disappointed with the lack of flavor and sauces in their dishes, feeling that the food was not up to par. Others found the food to be average, with some dishes enjoyable and others lacking in flavor. However, there were also positive reviews from customers who appreciated the consistent quality of the food, ample portions, and reasonable prices. The restaurant seems to cater to a variety of tastes, with some customers enjoying the traditional, no-frills atmosphere and friendly service. While there were some complaints about portion sizes and prices, for many customers, the Sizzling Rice restaurant remains a favorite spot for Chinese food in Oliver.
