Rice Cafe has the best Sesame Chicken EVER!!!! I have never been addicted to a specific dish the way I am to this one.
Awesome food! Brilliant Egg foo Young! The soy sauce over the foo young is additive to the core… Dude, stop drinking and start eating!
If you are a vegetarian the best food in Lafayette/West Lafayette is the General Tso’s Tofu at Rice Cafe. Its unbelievable.
John : for the money u are paying what do u expect.. if you are so good. go open a cafe with same price but better quality. LA PAN
Sheryl : <3 <3 You <3 <3 too
Linda : I am the best drunk food!
Honestly, I patronize Rice Cafe quite often. It’s a nice place, and it’s one of the few places open late night that isn’t fast food.
However, I think their food needs some reviewing. Their chicken’s always cooked till it’s a dried piece of rubber. Their beef is always cooked till it tastes like a shoe. And their pork…, don’t even get me started.
Also, your General Tso’s chicken, orange chicken, and all your other chicken (except steamed) is really just the same fried rubber with a different sauce over it. C’mon.
How about start hiring better chefs, or get one to teach your current staff to make better meat. Seriously. I make better meat at home, and I’m one of the worst cooks you’ll ever find in town.
The quantity of food is great (too much I’d say. I never finish), but the quality is just ass.
Not impressed. Crab Ragoons were not good, they are cheap knockoffs of the real thing, and the sweet and sour pork wasn’t very good either. I would suggest Lin’s Wok or China moon.
Schezuan Chicken or Beef Entre Sub Fried Rice 3 Egg rolls You’ll never eat another type of Chinese food again..
Rice Cafe is the best for late night eating. Amazingly good Chinese, late delivery, and the staff is really nice too. Everyone raves about the Crab Rangoon (as well they should) but the Steamed Dumplings are to die for!
Rice Cafe is awesome. Open really late, delivering really late, and really fantastic food. A little more expensive than some Chinese places, but the food is really high quality and the staff is super friendly. Our favorites are the General Tso’s and the Crab Rangoon. Highly recommended!!
OMG! I love rice cafe!!!! Its the best drunk food around. Me and my friends always go to rice cafe after a heavy night of drinking. I love the General Tso’s chicken. Take that China Dragon. All the othe chinnesse restaurants might as well pack up because Rice Cafe is here to stay.
I’m from Chicago and Rice Cafe is ok. The prices are a little on the high side. You can get the same dish, better quality for only $3.75 in China Town. The food very americanized but because it’s the only restaurant of its kind that’s close to campus I give it A+ for effort.
Best crab rangoon in the world!!!!!!!!
Best Chinese ever! Forget those buffets! Theres a ton of food no matter what you get here AND ITS CHEAP! General Tso’s, fried rice, crab rangoon. The perfect combo.
I love rice cafe. When ever we play Edward 40 Hands, we always order Rice Cafe after. I cant remember what I had yesterday from there, but I bet you that it was good.
Finally a Chinese restaurant that has native english-speakers on the phone. Rice Cafe uses college students as a buffer between the customer and the owners. This and many more things are what make this restaurant great.
A+++
<3 <3 Rice Cafe <3 <3
is amazing.
that’s all there is to it.
We love Rice Cafe! My friends and I go nearly every day because the food is so addictive. other asian cuisine restaurants don’t even nearly match in quality, and the prices are unbeatable for the amount of food you get. go now! you won’t regret it!
Rice Cafe is by far the best Chinese restaurant in West Lafayette and Lafayette combined. Fast, friendly service, combined with (seriously) the best Chinese cuisine I have ever eaten, makes for the perfect take-out or dine-in experience.
