  I have only one negative thing to say before I tell you how much I like this place.
  
  Here goes: It's a tiny place,and very busy. So the only place we could sit with my mom and her walker was the benches. I loathe those benches. Very hard for a woman with mobility issues to get into, and since they are bolted to the floor, they can't be adjusted. My mother and I were both super uncomfortable.
  
  Everything else was great. The bathroom were clean and easily accessible. Service was good, selection was great, and the food was delicious.
  
  But the best part might be the clever packaging. When I received my....I think it was a Crispy Deluxe Noodles...The noodles were packaged separate from the meat and veggies. I could pour as much as i liked and the noodles didn't get soggy until I let them get soggy. My sister had the veggie bowl, and her veggies were packaged separate from her rice. Nice! I just thought it was a clever way to keep your food from becoming a soppy, sloppy mess.
  
  So we've decided that we're definitely coming back. We're just going to take our food to go.

  Such high hopes after reading their menu, but that was quickly dashed after our visit. I love the idea of a variety of dishes from different cultures on one menu and was super excited for a fast food place that offered so many choices.
  
  We tried the crispy tofu appetizer ($9), Filipino ribs in honey garlic with rice ($12) and the new house special noodle soup ($12). You order at the counter, pay, get your number and then fill your own drinks at the fountain.
  
  The wait wasn't too long even though there was a steady stream of pick up orders from what we observed.
  
  Tofu was hot and crispy and tossed in a generous amount of salt and pieces of bell pepper. This was our favourite thing we ordered. The noodle soup was thin egg noodles, a variety of balls (meat, fish, tofu) and a couple of pieces of broccoli. The noodles were extremely overcooked so they were super soft (blech) and the broth was flavorless hot water. I've a pretty low salt tolerance, so when I'm looking for either salt or soy sauce or *something* to give it flavour, it's pretty bland. Lastly, the Filipino ribs were coated in batter, deep fried and tossed in honey - if there was garlic, it was minuscule because all you tasted was honey. Served with steamed rice, it needed something more to cut the sweetness. A bit of vegetable to the dish would go a long way. It was very reminiscent of food court chinese ribs - I'm not sure how authentic it was for Filipino food.
  
  I think it's pretty pricy for what you're getting. If I went back I'd avoid anything with soup and maybe pick something with both meat and vegetables. Don't think I'd rush back anytime soon though.

  I've been to Rice Bowl numerous times.  Pretty much every time I've been to this location over the years, it's the same.  
  
  Came into the place and there were a few people in the place.  I ordered the Panko Salmon bowl and ordered a Katsu Pork Curry for my wife. The staff are very friendly and very helpful.  
  
  As with other visits, we waited for a bit, prior to getting our food.  This was very typical of prior experiences.  
  
  Once we had our food, as expected from prior visits.  The portion size and the quality of the food is good for what you pay for.  It's not exactly cheap for the bowl, but the quality is there, and as in the past, food always comes out hot.  
  
  Overall, I like this place, and they are consistently good, and have been over the years.  Staff are very good and food is good !  I'll be back again..

  After getting food poisoning twice from this place from under cooled Korean pork ribs I stopped going. I've messaged customer service and they always say that they'll talk to the person making the food and offer free food in return but I can't bring myself to go back. I ordered a soup to be on the safe side the last time and the soup wasn't good at all, I ended up throwing it out. The spring rolls are veggie and are full of grease. I'm giving them 2 stars for customer service but the food is just crap and very pricey. If you come here stick to the bubble tea or frozen yogurt. I've thrown up my guts out twice now from this place. Please be safe! Maybe if they changed their sweet and sour sauce and taught their cooks how to properly cook meat I'll be back.

  I would give this place a zero if I could! We ordered delivery. The food was very salty and way to much oil to even think about eating. We tasted everything but ended up throwing EVERYTHING in the trash! No supper tonight!
  
  I also requested some extra bean sprouts and basil for my pho which they turned down and said I couldn't have any. So disappointed! Will never even look at the sign for this place again!
