Review of Rice Bowl

First. These people are nice. They allow reservations. No deliveries.

Second, they have a physical GF menu in store and an online GF menu. It’s a bit insane the options. Take a look at the menu via this link. https://www.ricebowljax.com/order/gluten-free-menu/menu There’s a button for GF options. Lots of soups. Some Thai options. Curries. And they will make OTHER items GF. Like chicken egg foo young. The owner brought a tasty clear sauce instead of the gluten laden gravy to go with it. We had no problem with the CEFY, and the moo goo gai pan and egg drop soup.

Next, the food was delicious. **However, heads up- not a dedicated GF joint so cross contamination is on the radar. A GF family member got head and stomach aches from the Korean noodle dish with chicken. We took home a spicy coconut curry soup that was eaten a few hours later that immediately led to symptoms in another. So we will avoid “GF” soups here in the future. Again the egg drop was ok.

And fourth, they care about you and their food, and you liking their food. They have GF soy sauce. And it’s a quiet, small mom and pop type place. And it’s in strip mall.
