Houston’s Best Chinese Restaurants | Eater Houston

"The Rice Box is hard to miss. The local chain tricks out its buildings with colorful, Hong Kong-esque neon signage, making them visible from down the street. Originally a food truck, the Rice Box serves American Chinese classics from four locations in the greater Houston area. Choose from General Tso’s chicken, orange peeled beef, or street bites like salt and pepper cauliflower and sweet chili wings. Mala pepper enthusiasts can look no further — the Chongqing chicken is among the tastiest in town, loaded with peppers and stir-fried to perfection." - Lane Gillespie

This was our second time ordering food from this location. They redeemed Rice Box in my mind as the first location we tried near river oaks was absolutely not worth the visit. This location has great staff, its always clean, and the atmosphere is pretty chill. They decor is a futuristic fusion of neon and anime. The food is definitely worth the minor wait and price. 10/10 a must have if you are in the mood for some good eats, great staff interraction, and the place looks good on your eyes while you wait.

Fast and accurate ordering experience. My first time ordering the candied walnut shrimp and lo mein. It was delicious a big serving and had walnut halves and pineapples which I love. This is my favorite dish.

First time trying rice box. The staff was patient and friendly. I didn't eat inside of the establishment. They do have a bar area along with outside dining. I ordered as take out. I like that they give an option of awaiting inside or they will bring your food to your vehicle once it's ready. When I got home and opened the containers, the amount of food was enough for two serving easily. I ordered Mongolian chicken with white rice. I would have like more veggies but I'll order more next go round. Overall it was very flavorful. It wasn't heavily salted, they provided plenty of condiments to coincide. The crab ragoon was 🔥. The veggie egg roll was good as well I'm just use to larger in size. I will revisit this establishment again to try other items on the menu. Parking is limited but definitely worth walking around the block or across the street.

I don’t get the hype of this restaurant!!🚩🚩🚩 We ordered maybe 2-3 times here , not sure what happened with this place! Be careful ordering from uber eats! WE ORDERED Lo mein, & fried rice 45 minutes before close time! Doesn’t matter what time they should honor their patrons/customers! (We pay for it) greasy noodles literally dripping out the box and poorly packaged! Please do better for customers!

I normally dislike eating outdoors, but it was a pleasant little place with incredibly good food. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy, there are propane heaters to keep you warm on colder days. I really enjoyed myself and the employees were so sweet and helpful.

I tried the cumin was good but orange chicken was delicious! Fried rice is the best! Great atmosphere for nice pictures! Plates well served if you don’t eat a lot you can perfectly split your plate!!! Walnut shrimp is also really good!!

Ok we went for the first time tonight. Kids weren't fond it and they love Chinese food Husband and I loved it! Online to me seemed over whelming to think to order. Walk in was welcoming menus was EASY to order from! The guy I can't remember his name(had a mustache lol) was so nice. We ordered went outside... inside felt LIVE outside everyone seemed quit and boring lmao. We 4 were definitely a little louder oooppps. We hung out ate and love the outside tables(I enjoy eating outside). The guys(with the mustache) gave us some sweet dip for the egg rolls WHICH WAS AMAZING! Definitely going back without kids lol they boring jk they don't do change well but they didn't complain about the food just not their usual. (Boooo only photo I got) great size portions I agree with that husband and I could have shared.

What a great find this place was! A coworker had ordered some for a safety meeting we had and wow wow wow! I was told the location is nice and staff is friendly. The food was amazing and well seasoned and spiced. What I appreciate the most about the way the food was prepared was the fact that they use two different types of meat when making the chicken fried rice! Who does that! White and dark meat! My family will be coming here soon to try it in person but from what I've had already this place is a banger!

The pepper steak was 15.99 then they added 1.10 service fee, then they assumed a tip for a counter order and pick-up. At best there was 2 to 3 ounces of meat, it was filled with onions and peppers, very low cost items as primary fillers, it's basically a bowl of large cut onions and peppers, I asked for brown rice, another very low cost ingredient, other than the very small portion of meat the food cost on this meal was about 60 cents at best, the total food cost of all ingredients and packaging was about ten % of the retail cost! This is absolutely outrageous! This meal should be priced at 8.99 at best! Not worth the visit! It's THEFT! Don't buy the pepper steak! There ain't no pepper steak to speak of in there!

UPDATE REVIEW. Went today around 4:35 PM May 26, 2024. Got the Broccoli dish and added beef. I must say after trying them 3 times and leaving not such great reviews(1 stars) . I was impressed today. The young man at the counter wasn't the most delighted or outgoing person but he was professional and straight forward. Service was a 5/5 cause he didn't mind waiting for me to look at the menu and he gave me a refill on my soda before I left. Ambiance is of course awesome as usual. Amazing LED lighting and cool graphics everywhere. The food itself was great, nice and hot, flavorful. Broccoli was still crunchy but soft which I loved a lot. Beef was great too. I got 2 egg rolls which were nice and crunchy! Rice was more in the bland side but compared to some peoples...ahem heights Asian cafe.... It was great! I'm so glad to finally be able to leave a good review for you guys at rice box. PS The worst part about the dish was how hot it was... but isn't that a good thing???!

Love this place! The fried rice is some of my favorite. The green beans and the sesame chicken are my top choices with the fried rice and eggroll. For their entrees, you can choose your protein. Some of the entrees offer clauliflower instead of meat. Most of the time we order our food to go but we stayed to eat last time and service was great. It's not a typical sit down restaurant but someone did walk around a bit checking on everyone.

We so enjoyed our time here! Everything was explained to us fully (we asked a lot of questions on our first time here lol). To park there is handicap and run in pick up parking out front and a parking garage that is within walking distance with free first 2hr parking. Everyone was nice that we came in contact with. Inside is super cool and looks futuristic! They have multiple seating areas. The food was great and cooked fresh! The flavor was spot on with all the dishes. They definitely don't skimp on proportions. Off of one plate with rice at least 2-3 people could make a meal off of it. I do appreciate the plastic containers they give the food to you in, so when you're done eating you just put the lid on and go. I normally don't like egg rolls other than Vietnamese egg rolls, but these were really good and I would order again. The flavor profiles of each of these were fantastic and they hit the mark each time. I got the candied shrimp and walnuts and it was amazing! The price point wasn't bad for the food either, considering how much you get and how many people can eat.

Food was amazing as usual. Enough for 2 portions. Guy that helped me was great. Wouldn't advise this as upscale by any means, but if you want food american Chinese food take out, I'd argue you can't do better.

Absolutely delicious! Very fresh and flavorful, and definitely a good size portion. I will say I wish the restaurant was a little bit bigger, and or there was more indoor seating. However, not sure if that's the concept. It was absolutely delicious!

The place is definitely beautiful, but it's a bit overpriced for what you get. The food isn't bad, but it doesn't quite justify the high prices. I'd say it's worth checking out at least once just for the experience and the aesthetics, but I'm not sure I'd come back regularly.

I've had rice box countless of times but I usually have a very basic order (house fried rice or pepper steak). this time I decided to be more adventurous + get something that I know I couldn't get in Austin (where I live) -- and that led me to ordering the Chongqing... which I'm still salivating over days later. it was so delicious, I had it made with tofu (I'm not vegetarian or vegan) + omg. I am counting down the days until my next Houston trip (which happens to be soon) and I'm most definitely not leaving Houston without the tofu chongqing!!! Service was super quick as well for 3pm on a Thursday. Food was hot and fresh when I picked it up 15 mins after ordering online.

I have been waiting to try this place since I moved to Houston and I am glad I did. My boss decided to buy us lunch and we picked this restaurant and doordashed it. I am a vegetarian and they had many options. I picked the curry rice with cauliflower. First of all the portions were great. It was flavorful, spicy and tasted amazing. I also had hot and sour soup which was amazing too. Everything had so much flavor and I can't wait to try other items. The only thing I would change is maybe cutting up the cauliflower so the pieces are smaller instead of leaving them big and remove the limes. Other than that, it's my new favorite Chinese spot.

Was definitely wowed by the tofu chow fun! The tofu was done very well - super crispy outside, soft inside. I was actually worried that I would run out if them so I started counting lol! The noodles/egg/veggies were so delicious. It also comes with an egg roll that I devoured along with the noodles. A classic side! I was pleasantly surprised that this place lives up to the hype, at least with this dish. It has an interesting futuristic menu. Couldn't get a good pic due to the glare. This place is a must try if you like chow fun and they give you a ton of it. Will definitely be back!

I came here with my girlfriend and 3 of her family members on a Friday night around 7pm and it was fairly busy. Finding Parking was a little tricky but we found a spot on 19th only a 2 min walk away. You order right when you get there, so be ready and look at the menu in advance! The menu is displayed on a unique futuristic screen display and they have all the Chinese-American classics! Tons of people were taking pickup orders, so it seems like takeout is more popular at this location. We were quoted a 35-40 min wait for the food to be ready, but it ended up being more like 20 mins. Another reason why I mention takeout is because There is barely any indoor seating - just 6 barstools - but plenty of outdoor seating. The outdoor area is lit in red neon lights giving a late night futuristic-urban vibe. They do not have fans so if it's a hot day beware. I ordered the walnut shrimp with lo mein ($2 upcharge) chicken egg roll (which is included), and the NITRO Thai tea (no refills). Everything was soooo good, and the servings were very large. I took home leftovers to eat the next day, and got two more reals out if it - that's how large my portion was. My walnut honest shrimp had pineapple in it. That was a pleasant surprise, I'd never had it prepared like that before.

Found this place on TikTok, I came a year ago and wanted to try it again but it wasn't the same, the noodles were dry and had a weird taste to it that wasn't appetizing, the sesame chicken did not taste like the typical sauce they serve at authentic Chinese take out, although the crab Rangoon's were crispy and delicious by far the only taste thing of my meal. Not sure if I will come back or recommend it, there's more authentic and more affordable with more portions the service is good everyone was nice, the seating is also not the best there's mostly outside seating and with the flies around doesn't make the food appetizing.

I cannot comment on the service or the ambiance as I have always ordered from here on door dash BUT the food is excellent! They give HUGE portions and every entree comes with egg rolls on top of that. Mongolian beef is really good and the garlic eggplant dish

I have seen this place all over TikTok and had to try it while in town. It lived up to the hype. As a vegetarian this is the best place because you can sub any entree meat with cauliflower or tofu. It was amazing! They helped us choose the food that they thought was the best. I love how pretty the i code looked as well. It looked very neon and was interesting as soon as you past it. If you ever want good Chinese food, this place is definitely it. 10/10!!!

OVERHYPED AF. This is the equivalent to Chinese mall food but worse. So expensive for unseasoned everything. Noodles had no flavor, the tofu was so soft, not firm at all- it was the worst thing I've ever had. Spent $17, had two bites and threw it away. We also got the general tso chciken, it was ok, definitely better at the mall lol. The staff/ service was 10/10, the vibes are also 10/10. Bathroom was as dirty as a dive bar. Idk I just expected more out this place?

Chow fun with chicken was extremely salty past the point of salvaging and the bottom of the bag and takeout box was covered in oil. I could've fried two eggs with the amount of oil that oozed out. So I ordered oil and soy sauce with a side of rice noodle chunks (yes chunks) and chicken. Yum! Salt and pepper tofu had a thicc coat of unappetizing breading. The sweet chili sauce it came with was decent but the tofu and chow fun needs serious QC. Wonton soup saved this review from being a 1 star. The dough is thicker than what I prefer but it satisfied the craving on a lazy Sunday. Go with the bigger size (32 oz) cause the small (16 oz) only has 2-3 wontons. I figured Rice Box would be a lot better now that they have 2 locations but nerp. Maybe third times a charm? *my order was fulfilled through doordash*

First time trying out Rice Box, and it certainly won't be my last. I ordered 2 dishes, an eggroll on top of the 2 egg rolls came with the 2 meals, plus an order of 2 bums with Egg Cistard inside. The 1st dish I ordered was one of my favorite Chinese dishes of all time, Orange Chicken and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of seasoning of the chicken, but it was juicy, so I can't be mad at that. The second dish I ordered was the garlic eggplant, which turned out to be my highlight dish of the day. The eggplant was cooked to perfection, and there's plenty of garlic, which I'm a big garlic fan. I haven't been much of an eggplant fan until today. The eggrolls were good, a nice crunch when you bite into it. Also, the noodles and white rice compliment both dishes. The dessert was overall good. The bun was dense, but the custard helped it out a lot. The egg custard was not too sweet and very creamy, and I will get that again. The service was fast and efficient. Not even 5 minutes after I placed my order, I got the text message saying it's ready. When I arrived and got my food, it was hot and plenty of food enough for 2 people. The ambiance was very nice, and the place looked back to the future-esque, especially at night. I am looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.

Food is great got peppered steak w/shrimp Rangoon's cooked right. Let me just say as a business owner myself I treat EVERYONE of my clients the same. Not a shot at Rice Box but Gentleman behind counter offered 2 men drinks. Didn't ask or offer me & my wife anything could have even made an extra buck off us. WE were visiting for 2 days if we are ever in Houston again we'll be back definitely worth the money giving 4 out of 5 cause of drink thing and I could be wrong too if so I can definitely apologize

They have fair prices and large portions. The ambiance is also supposedly made to look like the movie Bladerunner which I still haven't got around to seeing so I have to take their word for it. Whoever was the graphics designer who did their animated menu though did a great job. Food also comes out pretty fast. I also like that they give you a togo container if you can't finish everything (which you probably won't). As far as the food goes though I wasn't that impressed. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad if you consider the price and portions, and you're certainly getting your money's worth and you won't go away hungry or upset, but I'm trying to keep it honest here. This was my first visit and I was trying to find something even remotely healthy but every single dish seemed like it was slathered by some sugary sauce: General Tso? sugar/starch wrapped chicken; Sesame Chicken? sugar/starch wrapped chicken; Sweet & Sour chicken? sugar/starch wrapped chicken; Orange Chicken? You get the picture. It seems like every dish was just a small variation of the previous dish which involved soaking a protein in a sugary sauce with a small variation and adding a ton of oil to it and serving it with rice. I went with Kung Pao chicken myself because I thought at least it wouldn't have the fried breading but it was completely submerged in oil/sugar sauce so I just ate the chicken part and threw out the super sweet bath it was in with some peppers ending up as casualty. The chicken was delicious by the way so why not just make it without all the sugar and oil? One of the people in my group had the Beef and Broccoli and they too complained about the same thing. To be fair, they do have Baby Bok Choy so perhaps in the future I'd just get that but I'm not sure you can add a protein to that without getting all the sugar sauce with it. If you can't tell by now, most of my gripe here is with the fact that most of the food here is covered in a sugar sauce. If there was an option to get a more "dry" dish like Kung Pao Chicken with easy sauce, that would make it better IMO. Unrelated to the food, parking kind of sucks here. There are a few spots and it's really cramped and all the Uber eats and doordash drivers double parking so they can pick up orders make it even worse so if you don't find anything there, it's best to just go to McDuffie or E Clay and try to find something on the street.

The food was pretty good. I got the general Tao chicken spicy with extra broccoli, I'd suggest if you want veggies too, only 2 broccoli included. The portions are generous and the price point was appreciated for being about town with friends. I had a pickup order so I didn't experience the service but no complaints from my friend who picked it up, so we good over here lol.

Ambiance is quite nice but the food wasn't the best in my opinion. For chinese/ chinese american food I would go to Panda Express. Food: 4/10 I would not come back for the food. Orange peeled beef: Probably the best thing I ordered. It had a citrusy and sweet element from the orange. The beef had a slight sticky crisp from being candied which was nice. It wasn't too tender but it was alright! It came in a togo box of rice and with an eggroll. The egg roll was pretty good. standard. Orange Chicken: Not as good as panda express . It is citrusy and sweet from the orange, similar to the beef. It was standard..flavor wise nothing too impressive. Service: Good service, you order at the counter. It was quite busy when i went. Ambiance: Great for hanging out with friends especially at night! It has great mood lighting and feels lively!

So I'm completely guilty of just ordering rice & chicken eggrolls. My favorite menu item is the EGGROLLS!!!! They executed the recipe to perfection! A true masterpiece if you ask me. LOL I've never eaten inside of the establishment, although it carries a cool futuristic vibe. I usually order the food to go, my favorite dish is the Sesame Chicken it's so delicious they also give a generous serving so I usually can only eat half of my order. The pricing is fair because of the amount of food your given. Definitely try this place if you don't feel like cooking dinner.

The Rice Box was great! Immediately when you walk in, you're transported to Hong Kong with the huge neon signs and somehow fall into a trance. We ordered General Tsos Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, and Curry Fried Rice with Shrimp. The chicken and chow fun was delicious and enjoyable. Not too greasy. Very tasty. However, the curry fried rice was none of our favorites, and we would have fared better without it. Come here at night. The neon signs are visually appealing, and the nightlight aesthetic is very unexpected for Houston. Between the 5 of us, the 3 orders filled us up and left us satisfied.

I ordered my food to go. The Mongolian beef was fantastic and the app made it ready to tailor from Google maps. I added shrimp and ordered medium spice. The Rice Box did not disappoint! Upon arrival my food was hot and waiting for me.The egg roll was even still crispy! In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is a quaint spot finally lit with beautiful neon lights and a fantastic digital menu display. They're is minimal bar top style seating for those looking to sit and grub, but I chose to take mine with me on my journey. This was my first experience but based on it I'll definitely return. Check it out!

RICE BOX OR GREASE BOX??? Have you ever been tipsy, hungry, and in need of a quick bite to nibble on because you needed to sober up so that you could drive yourself home? Well, that was me a few nights ago after enjoying Happy Hour at Be More Pacific. What's crazy is that I didn't realize how tipsy and hungry I was until I had already left the restaurant, so I stopped at the nearest food joint on my way home. I searched on my MAPS app for nearby food spots and Rice Box was about five minutes away so I decided to give them a try. If I'm being totally honest, this establishment is expensive for the type of Chinese cuisine that they serve and it's not all that wonderful. They charge an arm and a leg for food that will give you a heart attack. I paid $45 for a box of grease. I ordered fried rice and added shrimp for an additional fee. I also ordered their six jumbo wings which were accompanied with white rice and two chicken egg rolls. The wings were absolutely horrible! The flavor was disgusting. I don't know what kind of marinade they soak them in, but I wasn't feeling it. They tasted old and stale. On top of that, they were burned, full of fat, and had chicken feathers on them. Yuck! I was so turned off by them! The chicken egg rolls were okay, but nothing worth bragging about. They were greasy and tasted like frozen store-bought egg rolls. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the fried rice. Although it was greasy, it was flavorful, possessing a unique rich and savory palate. The blended stir fried flavors of the rice, the bean sprouts, eggs, soy sauce, green onions, and garlic, were all evident, which also contributed to the special unique flavor of the rice. The flavors instantly had me traveling back in time to my childhood when I had my first ever tasting-experience of shrimp fried rice. I will never forget the name of the restaurant. It was called Mac's Fried Rice and it was located on the corner of Erie street near Broadway. I was no more than eight years old. I fell in love instantly with the blended, rich, and savory stir fried flavors of the Chinese cultural cuisine. Overall, my to-go experience was good. Customer service wasn't top-notch service but it was decent. A young lady by the name of Cam assisted me with the ordering process and she was polite and robotic like in her approach, lol. The ambiance of this place is pretty lit and colorful at night. They have a cozy little outside patio dining area, which makes for a great late date night or if you're in search of some greasy food to help you sober up, because you just finished clubbing in the area. Also, for those that partake in that special green herb that puts you in a euphoric, relaxed, and hungry phase, then this type of food is great for that too! I gave them three stars based on the delicious blended flavors of their fried rice because it made me relive a pleasant childhood memory. It was really greasy but that special flavor was ever so present. Although I am aware that restaurants such as this one are known to serve fast and greasy Chinese/American cuisine, I have to blame myself for not ordering food at the other restaurant where I was enjoying Happy Hour. The food was of much better quality and authenticity. Would I ever return? It's not my cup of tea, but if I'm ever in the area and I'm tipsy and desperate for some greasy-sobering-up food, then and only then, will I return. Other than that, the possibilities of returning are anorexically slim.

I want to like this place so much because they have good flavors of chicken and beef. However I can't get past their fried rice. It tastes as if they use too much oil and there is a bit of a burned or old oil flavor to it. I tried it 3 times and same results every time.

Ode to Rice Box - how I love thee. This was my first time ordering from this location (available on Door Dash - pandemic win). My ol trustee, Tofu Chow Fun is still the best thing on the menu. Consistently rich and served steaming hot, it absolutely cannot be beat. The tofu ha super crispy and is served in huge chunks. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the sauce ties it all into one standout dish. I also opted to try the Pepper Steak with fried rice. It's good as well, but it pales in comparison to the Chow Fun. It is chock full of peppers, onions, and carrot, so no skimpy dish here. Portions are huge - I can easily get 2-3 meals out of ea

This place is good (as in Chinese food can be a hit or miss) but absolutely is NOT worth how overpriced it is. They up-charge you for literally everything here especially when you order directly through them for to go orders. Not to mention they only accept to go orders online but literally the past 3 times I have tried to order from here the website has been down. We have SO many authentic Chinese food places here in HTX, stop supporting overpriced inconvenient chains.

Loved the vibes and ambiance with the bright futuristic colors and decor. The inside is very small with only about 8 bar seats, but there's more outdoor seating. Outside was okay, but I'd say maybe some fans and music would help carry the vibes (and airflow) from inside to outside. The service was good, they forgot an items we ordered but were nice to get it sorted out. For the food, it came out quicker than they estimated (took 10 minutes on a Friday night when they said about 35 min). It's a lot of food, all 5 of us had leftovers. The general Tso is good, but not really spicy. My egg roll was decently, but I really like the fried rice. My family got walnut shrimp, orange chicken, and pepper steak and said they liked there's! Parking is very limited. We parked on the street around the block and walked like 2 minutes. We'll be back, but probably just for take out next time! (Which was really popular, while we were there we saw about 10 takeout bags on the counter constantly).

I'm not sure about the other reviewers but I know that I've had the fried rice and to me they have some of the best fried rice I have tried in a very very long time. It's not dry and the ingredients are very good and tasty. It's a decent portion and I'm pleased with it. I want to try the wings however for 17 bucks if their wingettes I'm going to scream.

This is a mix of Blade runner meets Panda Express. Good food and and kind of out of this world decor. Service was top notch for counter service and all of the staff was friendly. Enjoyed the general Taos chicken. Each meal comes with a box of rice either white, fried or noodles. I enjoyed the fried. It it was almost a meal ins self. My only negative is that parking is limited and some of it is metered. Well worth the effort to get there.

Tried this place for delivery the first time this past weekend. We got two orders of the chow fun, an order of the salt and pepper fried tofu, and an order of the fried rice. It also came with egg rolls and fortune cookies. I thought the portions were good for the price- was enough to feed 4 girls for sure. The Chow fun was a standout for me - DELICIOUS! And i really loved the salt n pepper tofu. Of course, because it was delivered in a steamy container it didn't retain a ton of crispyness but I could tell the coating was perfect. Gave it 4 starts for now but absolutely want to go back and check out the restaurant and and service and try more of the menu. Love the aesthetic/vibes as well!
