Rice Box Atlanta - Review!



If your on Yelp make sure you add me: My Yelp Account. I ventured out to a new place in midtown called Ricebox right by the MAC theater. Here is my review that I posted on Yelp.

I think a few people have been a tad rough on the review they gave Rice Box but by all means this place doesn't win 5 stars. Walking into the place is a tad strange feel (not very take out Chinese style, which is a good thing) but the place is incomplete or almost under construction. One wall is all ripped up like something was missing and half the lights on the back booth wall were out. The last issue before we get into the food is they don't have a menu posted up on the wall which yet to makes no sense. You kinda walk up and prey you can figure out what your ordering quickly before you feel dumb. I failed at this but threw a friend under the bus to order first while I spied at a take out menu.

The food was decent but very underwhelming. For under $4 I was able to score a huge blow of fried rice and eggs which blew me away and filled me up but I was a tad upset that it had just that.....eggs and rice. No carrots or the other typical items that are mixed in with fried rice but what can you do? I tried a friends beef lo mein which was pretty yummy of the dishes I sampled from friends. Tons of noodles and not so much beef so be forewarned. The orange chicken is blah, hands down. Enter at your own risk but keep in mind it's a great place to score some cheap Chinese food in Midtown.
