Rice Box Express Sarasota Chinese

Ive been coming here since the place opened years ago, tonight was the last straw. Ordered Lo Mein with egg, they had 2 cooked eggs on top . Egg drop soup is made with chicken broth?? Looks like C#M honestly.. it's slowly gone to hell in the 20+ years, IM OUT.....

After being a massive advocate for the Rice Box after the past 2 3 years, I can no longer recommend this place. Tonight the service was horrible. It was over an hour wait for our food to be ready and it wasn’t complete until nearly thirty minutes after the time we were provided online. By the time we received the second order that was placed at literally the exact same time, the first order was cold. The portion size for the steak and broccoli my girlfriend ordered was pretty bad. The container was less than half full at best and it was mostly broccoli. The food tastes okay but for what it cost, that was a disappointment. Also, the egg drop soup she ordered as a side wasn’t very good and it appeared as if the pieces of egg were underdone? The worst part was my meal the pad Thai. Its probably the worst pad Thai I’ve ever had. It’s extremely salty, the noodles aren’t crispy whatsoever and the peanut sauce has zero flavor. I even paid extra to add more shrimp, extra mixed veggies and crushed peanuts. That’s not what I received… Also, the noodles appear and taste like those used in fettuccine, not rice noodles. After spending over $50 for two meals to receive cold, mediocre food, this was a huge let down. I will not be returning unless something massively changes. This place used to be very good and I defended them online all the time from people whom I thought were “haters.” I guess I was the one who was wrong. Sad.

We love ordering from Rice Box! They are one of the few places locally that has really good vegan options for us. The sesame and orange tofu's are great. Vegetarian options: Plenty of tofu options Dietary restrictions: Vegan options, well-labeled in the delivery apps

They never miss. This is quite possibly the best fast Chinese place you're gonna find around here. They're great people, they have never missed a detail on our order, the food is always cooked right, if anything they give you more than you ordered. They're great and deserve all the success.

Our absolute favorite place to get take out ! The egg rolls are so crispy , the curry and the Singapore noodles we always order !
