Rice Etc Asian Kitchen - Temple

Good place to eat when rice is your ding. update: the number 8 combo, kung pao huhn, which comes with a drink and egg rolls is delicious.

Very polite staff. Decent selection of menu items. Not an expensive place to dine or take out. 4 of 5 stars for a dining experience that met expectations; reserving five stars for best if the best. This location is not going to beat out a specialty Asian cuisine such as Thai or Mongolian specific eatery, but it is comfortable and familiar. My bottomless pit teenage son was able to leave content and full; without it breaking the bank.

Been here twice after a friend recommended it to me. First time, I had a take out order, I had garlic shrimp and hubby had beef broccoli, we both said it tasted bland, vegetables for my food tasted weird, like they’re not fresh. Second time, I got an egg drop soup, sweet and sour shrimp and a kid’s plate(chicken with french fries). She didn’t like the chicken and ate only the french fries, my shrimp was more dough than shrimp. I got a lemonade from the soda fountain and that tasted like medicine It’s a cute place, not too big if you have a big group. Had good service both times I’ve been there, food came out fast, they also have a drive through. I really wanted to like this place but I’ll pass.

Have tried this place a few times mainly because its convenient, on the way home. Seems to be hit or miss with the food. One time it’s pretty good the next time it’s not. They have over fried the egg rolls, spring rolls and wontons every time. Burnt. Fried rice is really good though. Don’t expect much if you go. It might be great one time, not so much the next time.

I ordered orange chicken, and this is some of the worst I've had. Its soggy, and there's a strong oil taste in the batter. The sauce is average, not much orange flavor, but not much to complain about. The fried rice was just fine, average. Overall my lunch was edible at best.
