Rice Bowl

Looks like Rice Bowl is out of business. I saw a For Lease sign on the store front recently.

This place closed. When I call the number the message states that the number has been disconnected and then I get a fast busy tone. But I liked the food…

Probably won’t ever return, which makes me sad. Today’s service and food were horrible.
Ordered sushi right off the bat, but they weren’t delivered until after entrees. Plus, they only delivered 1 set of chopsticks & 1 soy sauce cup. We waited over 10 minutes and finally had to walk up to counter to get them ourselves.
My boys both ordered shrimp with broccoli with an egg roll. They were disgusted by the egg roll and I believe when they said it was, «bland and gross». The rice was actually good, but the shrimp was nasty, as was the sauce. We sent the egg rolls back & got the wonton. They said it was ok. They both left their entire plates full. When we were asked for to go boxes, we chuckled, «no, thanks».
The sushi was horrendous! I ordered a philly roll & two pieces came with salmon. Also ordered the H22 roll and 3 of the pieces didn’t have tuna. California roll had cucumber sticking out and avocado was brown. These are very basic sushi rolls!
Water refills & service were nonexistent. The kicker? There was only one other couple in the dining room that were seated after we ordered!
Total change from previous visits…

The Japanese menu and especially the sushi here is very good! My family comes in every week for a tasty meal at an affordable price.

Stopped here today after considering getting from here a few times. We do laundry right next door. Anyways, we got take out. The prices weren’t bad and our food was ready in about 15 minutes. Portion sizes were good. While we were waiting for our food, one of the employees took an order on the phone. She was very rude with the customer and if I would have been talked to like that I would have hung up! The food was just okay. Nothing to be excited about. We usually get Chen’s Garden which on State Rd and we will continue to get Chen’s. Same prices but the food is much better!

I love this place! The prices are the best in town and their food is really great. They have some of the best pad thai in town. The sushi is very good. I’ve never been disappointed here. They delivery and like I said priced very well. Cool atmosphere on the inside and never packed. Valleys hidden gem

Decided to stop here one afternoon after my weekly visit to Hanna’s. Prices are pretty cheap.
Sushi was really cheap! $ 3 for a cucumber roll? Hell yeah. Tuna roll was delicious too, and didn’t have that «cheap sushi» smell.
Udon was delicious! Fried rice was gross and super dry. Not sure where the yellow color came from. Tumeric maybe? Who knows. Wonton soup was a little funky.
Service was terrible. I think they only have one waitress staffed, since every time I come it’s always her serving everyone. She always has an attitude and takes 20 – 30 minutes to bring my table water. Food usually comes before anyone gets their water lol.
Just stick to the sushi and udon!

WHAT?! How does this have has above ONE STAR?!
Okay, I don’t mean to be hyperbolic. You know when people say, «It’s the worst movie ever!» about some summer blockbuster? No, it’s not. You haven’t seen, like, «The Garbage Pail Kids Movie.» THAT is the worst movie ever.
But, okay. No exaggeration. This is one of the worst places I’ve ever been. Not even borderline inedible. JUST inedible.

I really like this place for the service, food & convenience. You can eat in or carry out, they have lots of sushi, a regular Chinese food menu & a hibachi section. They have awesome lunch specials too! I’ve been there several times & haven’t had a bad experience yet!

Decided to grab a quick lunch here after seeing it a few times driving home. Not disappointed at all! Decided to dine in and got one if the lunch deals. The soup was excellent (won-​ton) and my general tsos was great! Super cheap, too. They also brought out some fried won-​ton chips with some dipping sauce for free. And it was delicious. Would recommend!

Very good. Excellent service. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.
Got the general tsos. I would recommend this. The other reviewers seemed Butt hurt, good food

This Place will only be ok as a back up. i would not make it my perfered location for chinese or sushi.

Stopped in here for an impromptu lunch the other day after a disappointing visit to the Asian market across the street. The service was great, but that’s the best I can say. The dining room is hideous — totally mismatched and bathed in an unappetizing neon blue light. The food wasn’t bad, but we’ve definitely had better (both Chinese and Japanese). Also, I had to walk past a huge bin of dirty dishes in the corner of the dining room to get to the bathrooms — gross.
For the parents out there — the bathrooms do not have changing tables, and even worse they do not have any highchairs. We had to put our son’s car seat on the table, which is kind of gross considering we also set it on the ground.
On a positive note, the website looks like they offer online ordering!

4 stars on the Chinese restaurant scale. From the outside, with its darkened windows and LED lights, it looks like an internet café, but once you go inside its very nice and SUPER clean. The staff are very helpful and capable. This and House of Hunan are the only decent Chinese places in the area.

I visited this restaurant during the first couple weeks of their grand opening. Everything was new and clean and the atmosphere was pleasant. The wait staff was efficient and friendly.
During my second and last visit, I ordered a dinner entrée of beef short ribs. I was excited to see this on the menu as it’s rare for this to be served in Asian restaurants in Akron. Alas, my excitement was short lived after the first bite. The ribs were so tough and overcooked that I could not eat it. I expressed my disappointment to the server and she apologized. Later, she asked if I wanted to pack up the left overs, I told her again that the food was inedible. She said that she would tell the chef about it. When the server brought the bill, she told me that she gave me a 10% discount on meal which I didn’t eat.
I left the Rice Bowl still hungry and this has left a bitter taste in my mouth. The one star I give them is for the service, and definitely not for the food.

Nice clean restaurant with prompt and courteous service. Had the Lo Mein with shrimp. Will probably try some dumplings next time and order online.

Great tasting food, fast service, and very clean.

We ordered carry out and it was just «ok». I got a California roll which was good and we also ordered a dinner combo of Sesame chicken. The food was good however in comparison to other places its not worth the money. Very small portions and just not knock your socks off flavor. A friend of mine got sushi and a cooked dinner as well and was actually on the toilet all night with food poisoning!!! Not good !!! We run a small restaurant ourselves so this in my opinion is unacceptable!!! For a brand new place first impressions should be better. Probably wont return :(

Had an early lunch, they gave us wanton chips and duck sauce– very good.
I had the general tso chicken a good combination of spicy and sweet, however a bit more on the sweet side, the fried rice was amazing and eggrolls were hot crunchy and fresh. The portion size was perfect for a lunch. Paid about 12 dollars for two full and happy stomachs!

Take out Review — nothing special at best
It could have been worse… at least the shrimp were decent size… not breaded… and not over cooked.
Dumplings were gummy and tasteless.
Rice was dry, tasteless and made me sneeze right away… msg?
Menu looks great… full Japanese list of options… including lunch boxes, hibachi selections, and a couple of Udon choices.
Dinning room was clean and had a nice number of tables… you can see in the floor where the configuration has changed from the last asian restaurant at this locaiton. The have some bar stools at what looks to be a small sushi bar.
I would rather go across the street to the asian market and go home and cook my own rather than get takeout from here again.
