Rice to Meet You

Nice Chinese place to eat. Waitress were nice and food was awesome. Their rice was probably their specialty because it was so good and unlike other rices, had flavor and spices in them. The meat that we got was spicy and a little bit hard to chew, but it was good otherwise. When we got outside, we found out that someone’s car had been and their luggage was stolen. Would recommend this nice place!

The food is consistently good. Food comes out quickly and the quality is excellent. Soup is a bonus, really good. Great for a relatively quick meal. Somewhat fast casual dining. Portion size is plentiful, more than enough for one person, especially if the soup is added. Authentic Southern Chinese dishes and flavor. Great choice when I’m not certain what I’m in the mood for…

Excellent and humble family-run spot specializing in hefty portions of sizzling clay pot rice or noodle bowls. Servers are quick but friendly, and the vibe is casual, simple no-frills neighborhood favorite. Dishes are inexpensive and always served piping hot. Our favorites are the spicy beef clay pot rice and the special sizzling clay pot rice noodle (hand rolled). Portions are huge! Make sure to add a few splashes of the clay pot sauce (red bottle at the table) and a few dollops of their excellent chili oil for an extra bomb of flavor.

We had the brisket clay pot and the broccoli with garlic sauce.. absolutely yum! The brisket is so tender and full of flavor and I love fat flat rice noodle so that was just a plus.. broccoli with rice looked really simple but when you bite into it, has the right amount of flavor. We liked it so much that we came back the following weekend and had the same thing!

We ordered the beef tendon rice noodle soup and the beef rice combo. Tastes very authentic just like Cantonese food at home. Friendly fast service. Bathroom was very clean. Parking lot is not too crowded. Will come back!

Beef brisket with rice noodle was way too salty. Claypot rice was good. Soup was good. Good price.

Really liked “Rice to Meet You”. They serve these little pots with different toppings, and the rice at the bottom gets crispy — so good. Simple, fresh, and tasty. I’d go back.

Great Cantonese food in China town. Try the clay pot rice dishes and skinny rice noodle! Cool atmosphere with Chinese music playing while you eat.

The place was PACKED when we got there. And after trying their food - I can see why! Luckily there were 2 seats available and we were seated quickly. Service was quick and efficient the food was FANTASTIC! We had the brown sugar rice cakes, sizzling clay pot noodle chicken, and the popcorn chicken - all were delicious! Definitely come with an appetite or ready to share. Even though the place is small and a little crowded the vibe is energetic and bustling. A definite MUST next time your in Chinatown

I have heard so many things about this place and I finally got the chance to try it with family and my goodness... just blew my expectations away! I've been to this place twice now in the past two months, and it's amazing how this place is very consistent on their food that they cook. The plan of action that we took was doing it family style (everyone orders something and we all share with each other). Staff is very communicative, they are nice and friendly as well! Some favorites that we got are: 39 - Beef Briskey Sizzling Clay Pot Rice Noodle Roll 40 - Spare Ribs Sizzling Clay Pot Rice Noodle Roll 16 - Choy Sum Vegetable w/Garlic Sauce All of these dishes and many others are very good! You gotta try the whole menu, I will be back very soon!

Boyfriend & I decided to stop here after a late night grocery at the nearby H-mart for dinner. When we first got in, it was decently packed & very family-oriented energy, which most of the times could mean the food is quite good. We ordered the Beef Brisket Noodle Roll (4/5), which the waitress recommended as a sharing option for both of us since it's quite a big portion. We also got the popcorn chicken (4/5), very hot when it came out and stayed hot for a while too lol. Food was good, very savory meal overall - my boyfriend isn't a big fan of super fatty pieces but I am, but even so, some of the pieces were way too fatty even for my liking. We got maybe 6-7 pieces of meat and the rest was noodle, lotssss of noodles.

We came on a Sunday for lunch after church and it was packed but the service staff was on top of it. They were quick to serve, clean tables, and take orders so things seemed to move quickly. The rice noodle dish was really good and my kiddo seemed to enjoy the popcorn chicken. Will come again to try their clay pot dishes.

We came by around 1:30 p.m. on a Friday for a late lunch. The space is big with plenty of seating, and ordering was quick. The noodles came out fast, while the claypot rice took a little longer--totally expected. Everything was delicious. We got the claypot rice combo with coconut chicken soup. The rice on the bottom (guoba) was crispy and the meat was super tender. The rice at the top was a little plain, but a splash of soy sauce (the red bottle) made it just right. We also had the beef tendon flat noodle soup which came with a spicy, slightly sweet broth, chewy noodles, and delicious tendon. Last was the sizzling clay pot rice noodle roll with beef brisket. The brisket was juicy and the rolled-up noodles were really tasty.

Really enjoyed my beef rice noodle and all of the options I tried. Service was prompt and even though the restaurant was packed and we had multiple toddlers, felt like they handled serving well. The kids really enjoyed the fake fish tank up front. Their chicken plate was also good. Don't come here if you want super healthy dishes but only yummy dishes with carbs. So good.

One of my favorite places for some good Cantonese comfort food, cute and cozy. Their specialty being the clay pot, I always order this in different variations. They even have the noodle clay pot! I usually like to order the special combo clay pot, comes with two meats and a milk tea for $16.50. Tonight, I ordered the fried chicken wings, 4 pcs, roast pork clay pot rice, and the tendon beef noodle soup. The wings were crunchy and so juicy! Note the noodle soup is a bit spicy. I love that the waitress brought us bowls to share the soup even with me asking for them. Our server checked on us several times, water was refilled. No complaints!

Simply spectacular! This is a hole in the wall restaurant that is always packed with people. The staff is friendly but you can tell that they don't want you to stay too long. I totally understand that though considering the demand and limited seating. The food is amazing! You must try the popcorn chicken that is always seasoned perfectly, and fried to perfection. The pork chop with rice is almost a hybrid Taiwanese/pork katsu, and once again seasoned and fried well. The beef brisket rice rolls are also a must try. Note that the "brisket" is more of a beef shank with some tendon. The brisket is extremely tender, and the rice rolls have a great texture and chewiness that complements the beef well. The pork belly clay pot rice was good, however I didn't expect it to have so much Chinese sausage which I personally am not a fan of. The rice in the clay pot gets toasty and crispy over time and has an unbeatable texture and crunch. My diagnosis: come here for a treat despite its silly name.

A small, hole in the wall restaurant with good food and good portions. I get the clear beef noodle soup with rice noodles and sometimes popcorn chicken when i come in really hungry. I like this soup particularly because it's not overly rich. It's something I can almost eat daily. It's nice and light. The service is not friendly but usually that's an indicator of good food. I don't come here to be treated well I come here to eat and they serve well and quickly. Sometimes my food comes out almost instantly; other times it's taken longer. I think it just depends on how many people are there too. It's a smaller restaurant so I would bring like 4-6 people max. But usually I'm here alone.

Food is great. Spot is chill. Service was VERY attentive. Water tastes great and COLD. Wife loves this place. 2 mains and after a 20% tip, it was only $28 for the two of us. I'd do that all day for a small business (especially a good one!). Would I come back? Hell yeah.

Food is good, service is good too, nice people. We have been coming here several times.

If you're craving a warm bowl of rice or noodles on a cold today this is your spot! We came here on a Saturday night and we got seated right away. We were lucky to we beat the dinner surge just be a hair as it filled up quickly after we sat down. We had 3 people and we ordered the brisket sizzling clay pot noodle roll which is a must try, Combo Canto Cure Pork belly +Spicy chicken, Combo Hot & Spicy Beef + Spare ribs and the Beef Brisket Flat rice soup noodle. The combos came with either a soup (I picked the coconut chicken) or boba drink (my brother had passion fruit green tea) which were both good. It comes with a lot of food and we ate about half of all the dishes, great bang for your buck. Will come back to try out the other dishes!

Really great clay pot rice at an affordable price! The restaurant is clean and not too large. The waiters are super attentive and kind, I ordered the caramelized pork belly clay pot and it came with Chinese sausage and two bok choy. After adding a bit of soy sauce, it tasted great. With plenty of meat and rice, this dish was extremely filling for only $10.75.

Yum yum! We were in Chinatown and looking forward to trying out a new place for dinner. I found fellow Yelper Chris W.'s review and thought this place was worth a shot! Rice To Meet You is deep inside the complex, with ample parking. We visited on a Thursday evening and it was modestly crowded - we could easily get a table though. Our server came by quickly with lemon infused water and our menus. We decided on clay pots of the hot and spicy beef, black pepper lamb, and beef brisket noodles. The clay pot concept was so cool! We enjoyed receiving our steaming pots with delicious meat, noodles and vegetables. The brisket noodle pot came first and we scarfed it down - it was deliciously oily and the noodles were fantastic. The black pepper lamb came next - we weren't quite as enthused by it as it seemed a bit lacking in flavor. We were big fans of the hot and spicy beef though! It packed a punch that we sweated through with the help of our iced lemon water. It was quite a bit of food for 3 of us, so we took home the leftovers. All in all, this was an interesting, unique concept to try out, and pretty affordable compared to other restaurants. I would recommend giving it a shot to try out the clay pots.

I tried the chicken with mushroom clay pot rice noodle bowl ($10.99). The portions are generous! The noodles have a great, chewy texture. It does take around 15 min to get your order. The inside is very clean and I like the huge mural! Service is quick and no-frills. You pay at the counter afterwards.

I've heard so many good things about this place but sadly I didn't think the food was all that great. We got 3 things and I thought everything needed salt. I'm normally sensitive to salty foods but the flavor of the food we chose was bland. We came here on a Sunday night and it was PACKED. We waited about 20 minutes (no biggie) and about 30 minutes for our food. The service was very kind and attentive. Although I wasn't a fan I what we ordered, I think I would give this place another chance.

It was a cold weekend in Houston, and we were craving something to warm our bodies. We came in right before the lunch rush around 12 on a Sunday. I ordered the combination clay pot of eel and bbq pork that included a tea drink. I ordered the jasmine green tea. My mom ordered the soup instead. The soup was pretty good - my sons (4&7yo) ended up devouring most of the soup. The tea was ok, but it could have been stronger. I ordered the eel and bbq pork clay pot. So I mixed in the sauce on the table into the clay pot and then mixed it altogether with the rice. There's bok choy and also half of a very well done egg. Everything tasted how it should, but my problem lies in the amount of rice to other food proportions. I ran out of the meat and veggie way before I finished the rice. There's SOO much rice, which is good if you need a filler. So the fun part of eating rice in a clay pot is that you don't mix the rice that touches the side so that at the end of the meal you pry at the rice stuck to the pot and it comes out super krispy! Mine was crispy, just not super crispy. Perhaps I didn't let it sit there long enough. Overall, I'd come back on a cold day, but not in the summer. I'm still not a fan of the food proportions. It's not a very big restaurant, so expect to wait if you're coming during a lunch or dinner rush. The interior gives me street food vibes.

This is an amazing find!!! Small un assuming place, very busy but fast service. The Claypot Rice was really good and the soup is piping hot as well, the way it should be served. The Rolled noodle with chinese pork bbq is wonderful. The people/server is very friendly, attentive and fast. This is a great place to try the Claypot rice if you haven't tried it.,Brings back memories.

On this day of giving thanks, I am incredibly grateful that Houstonians have a place like Rice To Meet You as a Cantonese comfort food option. Nestled in the heart of CHinatown, the name isn't just a fun and silly pun in English (#1) but the Chinese name (煲来饱去) is also funny play on words (#2) in its own right. The most important of all is that the prices are affordable, the service is on point, and the food is excellent. Any occasion is worth dining here, whether it's in a group or a solo meal encounter. The tables are really ideal for 4 person groups at best and during their lunch and weekend hours, there may be a wait. The food comes somewhat fast and furious. As a result, people are also in and out and the waits are not as bad as they may seem. The beef brisket noodle roll (牛腩啫粉) is far and away my favorite dish here. There is a smokiness (wok hei?) to the noodle and the beef brisket is fall apart tender with the awesome spongy texture of the noodle. It's indulgent and an easy winner for anyone looking for a recommended dish. Truth be told, their clay pot rices don't remind me much of the traditional preparation from the motherland (#4) but I do enjoy the crispy edges that is sort of bibimbap-adjacent but the tableside claypot rice soy sauce really brings it home. They often warn that the clay pot cooking will take at least 15 minutes, but I'll tell them to add a couple of extra minutes for crispy rice alone. It feels like the menu has grown bigger or I've simply not paid enough attention to non-claypot or rice rolls dishes. For instance, the brown sugar rice cakes (红糖糍粑) might be listed as an appetizer, but I think it makes for a nicer dessert. The popcorn chicken (盐酥鸡) seems a bit out of place and basic, but it's very tasty. The hashbrown (土豆饼), which is literally a fried potato cake. It's more of a latke than it is a proper hashbrown, but it's good. They're also one of the only places that serve coconut chicken soup (椰子炖鸡汤), which is not an easy find despite how abundant Chinatown seems. It's not exactly their forté but their noodle soups are also quite underrated. Even their dedicated section to "needle" (thin) noodles (银针) is definitely worthy of a look anytime. Essentially, I'm willing to take a chance at anything on their menu and that's definitely not something that can be said for most establishments in general. Parking is plentiful and cash is king here. The staff is made up of a lot of Canto-speakers, but most of them are Toisan folks. Watching them switch from Cantonese to Toisanese is a trip. They're pretty much on point all the time and are friendly and welcoming almost always. Rice To Meet You is in the running for my go-to establishments where I can always expect a good meal. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. ___________ (#1) "Rice" sounds like "Nice." That's me being helpful, but next time no more Mr. Rice guy. Got it? (#2) "煲来饱去" almost sounds like "跑來跑去" which is running around (aimlessly, scampering). Instead of saying "pao" (run), it is now "bao" (slow cook), a clear nod to its specialty items that include claypot rice. They've subbed in another "bao" (饱) for being full, so the pun sort of takes on a "with slow cooking comes fullness" kind of meaning. It's honestly brilliant. (#3) Side note: There is a shock value of seeing how little the portions are, seeing as they fit into the smallest takeout containers. despite looking and tasting much heavier than it looks. (#4) Clay is not metal but that's kind of nitpicking.

First off, kudos to whoever came up with the clever name--both in English and Chinese--it definitely gave me a chuckle! Tucked away in the H-Mart plaza in Bellaire Chinatown, this mom& pop specializes in Cantonese claypot rice and noodles. Plenty of parking are available in the plaza parking lot. We visited on a busy weekend for dinner, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-maintained the interior was. The staff turned over tables pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait despite the place being packed. For appetizers, we shared the popcorn chicken, which was crispy and juicy, though I found it could use a touch more seasoning. For our mains, we tried the eel+roasted pork claypot rice, along with the beef brisket claypot noodle roll. The rice was delicious, with a great texture from the crispy bottom, but the beef brisket noodle roll stole the show. The beef was tender, and each noodle roll was perfectly coated in the flavorful sauce, with the right balance of the soft, silky and chewy texture. Considering the generous portions and quality ingredients, the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this spot!

Best place for the Cantonese Clay Pot Rice, they have so many options, you can't go wrong with any of them but my recommendation is to get it as a combo so you can get a soup first to drink now and some same in the end to pour the soup into your rice pot and all of them soup are great! If you like the crispy rice and the amount of food they give you is worth the cost here.

FOOD: Rice casseroles are mandatory orders. Many types to choose from with your choice of protein and amounts. It's made the way it's supposed to be made: with crispy rice at the bottom. Porridge was a good one as well. AMBIANCE & SERVICE: Typical Asian restaurant vibes filled with "Less talking and more doing mentality." Efficient and proficient. Only thing I did not enjoy was the ice cold water in a chilly night. PARKING: Plenty of parking. Location within an outdoor plaza, so park anywhere.

Spectacular! Everything I've had from here has been amazingly tasty. The rice roll dishes in particular are to die for if you're into that soft rice cake consistency. I've been here about 5 times and it's great and consistent every time. The place isn't huge so it fills up quick and you may have to wait 10-15 minutes here and there, even if you show early for a meal. The popcorn chicken is a great representation of classic, delicious Taiwanese chicken nuggets. Everything they make in a clay pot is quite special and the pot keeps your food hot for a long time. And I don't know what they put in their fried rice, but I can't seem to recreate that flavor any which way. So good. I definitely recommend you give this place a try. Start with popcorn chicken and order the fried rice and a clay pot dish with your meat of choice. You won't regret it. The ambiance isn't anything special but it's clean and decently roomy despite a small number of tables. Service is generally quick.

My family and I get the beef rice rolls as an appetizer to share, we've done this since our first visit and have never veered. It's so good, cozy and warm especially paired with their chilli oil. This btw is not listed as an appetizer. It's a whole ass entree portion. Sometimes the clay pot rice gets a little too hot/crunchy as it sits and cooks more but it's my mom's favorite part. So to each their own!

Rice to Meet You specializes in clay pot rice, which is not a super common dish in the Chinatown area. From the menu, you can choose different combinations of sausages, cantonese pork belly, cumin beef, etc., that is cooked in a clay pot with an egg and bokchoy. The bowl allows for a crispy layer of rice at the bottom, which adds a nice textural component to the dish. The portions are nice and hearty. Overall, the the restaurant isn't anything special but it is good if you are craving a big bowl of rice and meat. They have some other chinese/cantonese dishes on the menu that I didn't try. The ambiance is like any other establishment in Chinatown- homey- with decently good service.

If you want the short version: good food that's different from the Chinese most of us are used to, good service, dining area is small but cozy, you'll be quite close to other tables, overall though excellent. So the thing is, if you come here you should go in fully aware that it's going to be different, some of the dishes have the same name, but the flavor isn't what most of us from here are used to. It's like the difference between Tex-Mex and food from Mexico proper, things change to appeal more to the local taste in food. Rice to meet you is very much that, a much closer version of Chinese food (specifically Cantonese style) from back in the old country. Personally I'd recommend any of the clay pot dishes but the pork belly specifically. It comes out very hot and I find that it actually gets better the longer you take to eat it, because the rice is still cooking inside the pot in front of you, meaning after a couple minutes it starts getting crispy. Lastly we did happen to arrive during peak diner rush and had to wait a bit to be seated, as it was nearly standing room only. However the staff worked so quickly that we all but forgot after we were seated they were handling everything so well

This is a great place to eat with friends, it is a lot of carbs and rich food, so definitely keep that in mind when ordering, we ordered two dishes and probably could have shared one. Portion sizes are great, a heavy meal. The flavors weren't bad and I thought it was cool experience to order the clay pot dishes!

It's a pretty funny name for a business in English and a bit more clever in Chinese; that's not why we tried it but it does add some humor to the experience. Located in the Golden/ HMart (?) plaza opposite the super lit/busy Dun Huang plaza. Plenty of parking is available. The interior is honestly nothing special but it is relatively clean and newish, which is a good sign in a Chinese restaurant. Our waitress was friendly and again, service was above expectations for Chinatown. We got the beef brisket noodle roll, clay pot rice with cured pork belly and spareribs, and clay pot rice with roasted pork and eel. Both the rice and the noodles came out fresh and tasted way better than expected. The noodle rolls are some of the best stuff I've had in Chinatown. The meat in the clay pot is cooked well and the rice has a crispy bottom which is a nice texture contrast. The food is great, prices are very reasonable for 2024, and it's a clean mom and pop spot. Highly recommend.

Yummmm! So glad that I got to have clay pot rice for the first time! I'd say it was a good experience! We started off with the fried chicken which was pretty tasty. I had one of the pork clay pot rice dishes and really enjoyed it. I do wish that there was more of a crispiness to the rice but the flavor was pretty good. I'd really like to come back and try something else. Oh, the stir fried noodles are really good.

This is our go-to restaurant every time we visit Houston! Their clay pot rice and rice noodle dishes are incredibly flavorful and satisfying. We're always craving their delicious Cantonese cuisine--truly a hidden gem worth discovering!

Food is ALWAYS IMMACULATE and comes in large portions - No matter what food you get here! Will never get tired of eating this. It's in the same plaza as HMart on Bellaire so there's plenty of parking. Be mindful of the wait time bc it gets PACKED during the weekends and peak hours. The servers are so nice and friendly. Beef Brisket noodle roll - The best I've had. The noodle rolls are soft and cooked perfectly. The beef brisket is tender and juicy. It the perfect amount of dryness/sauce. Special Roast Pork Noodle soup - The broth alone is TO DIE FOR. The pork is not dry and is tender. The bok choy brings a freshness to the richness of the soup. You can order it no spice, little spice and spicy. Eel and Roasted Pork Combo - No bones in the eel. The eel and pork are juicy and tender. There's actually crispy rice surrounding the clay pot unlike other restaurants. Popcorn Chicken - if you hate popcorn chicken, try this one! It'll change your mind. You can tell this is freshly made and doesn't come from the freezer/store bought. I've worked in restaurants before and I can tell from the popcorn chicken that Rice to Meet You changes their oil out often!

This place does a great job transforming the rice/chicken/vegetable triad from a plain staple into a tasty, aesthetically pleasing experience. Chinatown is known for cuisine that is hard hitting on the palate (spice-numbing Sichuan fish, potato hot dog, kimchi fries, et cetera) but occasionally, it's nice to resort back to the basic dishes that you can't go wrong with. Rice to Meet You fulfills that role well. I got the popcorn chicken appetizer + black pepper chicken pot. Popcorn chicken was standard. Black pepper chicken was good, but could use a little more flavor. I still abide by what I said about this place serving solid staple dishes, but when combined with a portion of rice way bigger than the portion of chicken, the taste really gets diluted. I will say, my friend ordered the hot and spicy chicken pot and it was definitely better than the black pepper chicken in terms of flavor. I likely would have given this restaurant five stars if I ordered that for myself. Food time and service were both standard. Staff were nice and checked by often to refill water.

This place is so good and so cheap!! Love the vibes! Their popcorn chicken is really good

What can I say - I LOVE this concept of comfort food! They specialize in Clay Pot Rice and rice noodle, albeit I have not tried other dishes besides the different variations of clay pot rice yet. I would highly recommend getting the combo options, where you get 1 portion of clay pot rice and a soup or boba drink! The white pepper tripe soup is really hearty! Also, the rice is made to order, so you may have to wait 15-20' for your meal. If waiting makes you bored, consider getting the popcorn chicken as an appetizer, it's crunchy and seasoned well! Service is quick and nice for Chinatown, though expect a little wait if the shop is busy. Tl;dr: Clay pot rice is da bomb, do the combo with soup, and get the popcorn chicken!

Cute place, good eats, awesome prices, good quality services from the aunties. Grabbed the beef with poached egg clay pot.

Recommend by a friend, so give it a shot. Surprisingly good. Must try the clay pot noodle roll, it changed my concept of noodle rolls. The needle rice noodle is my childhood favor and they made it even better. The rice in clay wasn't outstanding but still good. Only complaint, the soy sauce was too light for the rice.

Been coming here for years. It's always spot on, whether you are dining in or getting your food to-go. Interestingly enough, the tea drinks here are better than most tea places outside. I love how their green teas are fragrant. I typically order the beef brisket noodle soup (spicy) which is always very tasty. All their claypot rices are delicious. My kiddos love this place and we usually find seating, but barely as it gets pretty busy on the weekends. The decor is simple and clean, and the prices are pretty competitive now given how all the other new places popping up are just extra pricey. Parking is ample and the food is always spot on. We'll definitely be back soon!

This place wasssss amazing!! Highly recommend the brisket flat noodle clay pot. Flavor is on point and service was fast. I cant wait to come back again!! I also got the ginseng chicken soup but would not recommend.. bitter aftertaste..

Awesome concept! The C7 (shrimp noodle roll dish) at Rice to Meet You had great flavor and was satisfying overall. While I enjoyed it, I'd probably try something different next time just to explore the menu further. The restaurant does get pretty busy during lunchtime on weekends, and seating inside is limited, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. Despite that, the food quality makes it worth a visit, and I'll definitely be back!

What a great spot! We were coming through Houston and decided to stop for a bite and I am very happy to find this awesome place! We had the Noodle Rolls with Spare Ribs and they were great. Well seasoned and a lot of flavor. We also had the Spicy Beef and Spare Rib Rice Pot which was next level. The rice that gets crispy at the bottom of the pot is amazing and a do not miss. We wrapped up with the Brown Sugar rice cakes which should not be missed. Overall it was a great experience. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. They are definitely popular so plan accordingly. We were there on a Saturday at 3PM and the restaurant was full. Worth the wait if you have one!

Never heard of this place until my friend introduced it to me! It's hidden in the back of the plaza. I went with the spicy chicken clay pot. The wait for the dish didn't feel long at all. It was served steaming hot! They didn't skimp out on the chicken. I could taste the spice, but it wasn't overwhelming... until I got to the bottom and ate some sort of pepper lolol. Hit me like a truck for a sec. Texture wise, the chicken was soft. Bokchoy was great, and the hard boiled egg was a bit dry. My favorite (and the best) part about the dish was the crispy sizzled rice at the bottom of the pot. Also, their soy sauce in the bottle is nice to add into the rice! This is a very casual restaurant so service was chill- the server just came to our table multiple times to refill my friend's water. From the outside, the restaurant seems small, but there are many tables to sit at inside. Ample amounts of parking!

I really only come here for the beef fried rice. It's one of my favorites. I usually take it to go but the service I have received each time is nice. Place seems pretty full most times I go there.

I came here for the first time last night with my mother-in-law and my husband. The interior of the restaurant was nice, new, and well-kept/clean. The restaurant has similar vibes to an Asian food hall, which makes it a nice spot for a casual night out. The service was alright. The place wasn't especially busy on the night that we went, and there were two waitresses working the tables. There were a few inconveniences such as not noticing that our water needed to be refilled, or not noticing when we were ready to pay our bill. The food itself was okay. I ordered a combination cured pork and black pepper beef rice pot with a ginseng chicken soup. The rice pot didn't have much crunchy rice on the bottom or the sides, which was unfortunate. Additionally, the black pepper beef wasn't quite what I was expecting--specifically, I was expecting the black pepper beef to have black pepper sauce whereas it was quite literally beef with black pepper sprinkled on top. While the food didn't really stand out, the portion sizes were large and prices were very good. Non-combination rice pots were, on average, $10 to $11 while the combination was $16 with soup or drink. The other entrees were all steadily priced at or under $10. Given the value, I would still recommend coming here for a casual dinner.

Recently, I went back and brought my siblings from the east coast, and they thoroughly enjoyed the clay rice pot and clay pot noodle with braised beef. The chicken lo mein was ehh and the tea beverages were better than last time. Service was friendly and attentive for the most part. Down side is several cups of water for our group had gnats/fruit flies in it. Overall, still a solid 4 stars.

Rice to meet you is a spot you go to for claypot rice and noodle rolls. It's tucked in the corner of the busy Hmart plaza but well worth a stop if you're craving this canto specialty. Service is pretty quick and the place can seat a decent amount of people. It's clean and fairly efficient given how long it typically takes to claypot anything! What we got: - Pork rib claypot rice: Many chunks of pork ribs plus a few veggies to make yourself feel better about eating all the carbs and the meat. Was very tasty and worth getting again - Beef rice noodle roll dish: Can't remember the exact name, but rolled rice noodles with tender chunks of beef. Can't go wrong with that combo! Each of the two items came with either soup/drink of choice.

The past four times I have tried this place, I have yet to be disappointed. Service, food, and the boba (surprisingly) have been great. I always get their boba combo bowls and the price has been pretty reasonable. The portions are huge that you also end up taking away food to snack on later. My go to combos are 19 and 23, the rice coming out crispy from the clay pot is my favourite partpopcorn chicken is solid too. During lunch they offer complimentary soup.

Everything that I tried from here was pretty mildy flavored. I do think that everything was cooked well, but that extra oomph was missing. We ended up adding soy sauce & chili oil to every dish which helped a bit. The popcorn chicken was juicy & lightly crispy on the outside, but there wasn't much seasoning & it did not come with fried basil. The beef brisket rice noodles came out sizzling but was lacking in flavor a bit, but the noodles had a nice chewy texture & beef was tender. The clay pot also didn't have too much flavor, but I did appreciate the crispy rice. The meats in the clay pot weren't very flavorful or fresh though. Our favorite dish was the choy sum! The veggie was cooked well & had a light garlic flavor. Food came out pretty fast and the restaurant is very clean. They serve lemon water which was super refreshing!

Delicious clay pot rice and free gin seng chicken soup. The lamp claypot soup is definitely better than the chicken mushroom one. The glass noodles is also delicious.

I'm so surprised I hadn't heard about this restaurant before! Great little Chinese restaurant with delicious clay pot meals. The service was not too attentive to us and the staff seemed a bit unprofessional (like legit a worker in his flip flops holding his cigarette before leaving outside) but maybe they're just a family owned business and casual like that? the water given to us also tasted like it had soap in it. For the food itself, it was reasonably price and very yummy! The popcorn chicken was crunchy and had great flavor. I do wish it came with a nice sauce but luckily they do have ketchup if you ask them. I got number #18 which was the Cantonese cured pork belly + spare ribs & #39 the beef brisket rice noodle rolls (my favvvvv). You get so much food for the price. Would come again bc the food was good:)
