As a Cantonese person, I'm quite discerning when it comes to beef chow fun, but I can tell they prepare it very well here. The wide rice noodles (you can even request a gluten-free version, prepared without soy sauce, just seasoned with pepper and salt) are pan-fried perfectly, without the excessive oil that some Chinese restaurants use. The female owner has a background in fine arts, which explains why everything, including the utensils, is so thoughtfully presented. The veggie egg rolls are a must-try! They've been in the restaurant business in Milwaukee for years and have a wealth of experience. I was impressed by how well they execute a variety of dishes, such as Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, and Singapore noodles. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars!

A standout dish is the fried chicken and waffles—a classic Southern comfort food elevated with a unique flair. The chicken is perfectly crispy and juicy, while the waffles are light and fluffy, enhanced by the perfect drizzle of maple syrup for a touch of sweetness. Another favorite is the grilled pork chop, served with black-eyed pea succotash and mustard jus. Cooked to perfection, the pork chop has a crispy exterior and tender, juicy meat inside. The black-eyed pea succotash offers a unique and flavorful side that pairs wonderfully with the pork, and the mustard jus adds a tangy and savory note to the meal. The service at Rise is exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who are well-versed in the menu and eager to offer recommendations. The cocktail menu is equally impressive, featuring creative and delicious drinks that are skillfully crafted. Overall, I highly recommend Rise restaurant to anyone in search of a high-quality dining experience in Dallas. The food, atmosphere, and service are all first-rate, and I can’t wait to return to Rise for another remarkable meal.
