Rice Pot Express Cross Roads Reviews
This is the only Asian food I will eat their egg rolls are super crispy because they put a hole or two usually at the corner of the styrofoam and it lets the steam out so you get crispy crispy egg rolls that are delicious all of their food is prepared fresh the manager is very sweet I am there at least three times a week they're a little more expensive but when you see that they make everything fresh nothing is from a box it's homemade you'll appreciate it their take out containers can be reused put in the microwave put in the dishwasher they're just amazing I can't say enough good things about them. One more thing their portions are so big they usually feed me to meals instead of one
Delicious! Well prepared, fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. The service was impecable. I can not say enough good things about this spot. It is definitely my go to for fried rice and the coconut walnut shrimp was beyond delicious!
Restaurant itself is clean & tidy. Great seating. First time here so I ordered my normal favorites, Kung-Pao Chicken & Hot & Sour soup. Both exceeded my expectations and were better flavored than my regular go-to place. I’ll definitely be back for more.
Don't believe the negative reviews! This food is amazing and the most authentic taste you will get anywhere in North Dallas area. A Mom and Pop restaurant, husband is the cook and wife runs the front. They provide the best service and the food is always fresh made to order and of great quality. I recommend any of the lo mein or fried rice dishes and try the Walnut Shrimp! It's disappointing seeing the haters trying to harm this little gem with their petty insults. Please, give it a try and judge for yourself.
This is one of my favorite spots around here. They have the absolute best honey walnut shrimp and it can't be beat. I highly recommend this place.
We ordered delivery yesterday (June 16th) after living here in Oak Point for many years, but not trying local Chinese.. we miss the Chicago area Chinese food, and decided to give Rice Pot a try. The owners are amazingly friendly and assured us the food was old school Chinese food... They did NOT dissapoint!!!! Food was amazing, delivery super fast and we will be coming back for more soon enough. Thank you!
I go to Rice pot on a regularly basis and enjoy the shrimp fried rice. The employees are always so friendly and will be going back soon. They have been in the neighborhood for a very long time and I value their business.
Delivery showed up sooner than promised! The lady that took my order over the phone was amazing. Food was delicious and we will definitely be a repeat customer. Refreshing service.
They are so kind and the food is hot and fresh.
The service here is out of this world, I was actually totally blown away by how attentive, and personable the guy at the counter was! I've had they're food as takeout before, but my wife and I decided to done in for lunch one day, and the guy at the front was THE nicest service I think I've ever had eating out! I know, it sounds crazy, a small Asian food place with great service?! But just trust me on this one! The food is excellent too, BTW!
Shrimp was cooked perfectly and lo mein had so much flavor! The woman working up front is incredible, has such a wonderful personality and is very warm and welcoming!
First time I ordered at their place thru GrubHub delivery. I was very impressed! The dishes were good and they were in a plastic container while the rice were in a usual paper box. They were properly packed, overall. Serving was good enough size but not minimized. We will definitely order again!

We have been coming to rice pot for over 10 at this location. We absolutely love it! The food is always so good and they are quick to have your food out! The people who work there are always so nice and helpful. Highly recommend
Our favorite for take out! We always get the classics - chicken fried rice and wonton soup. The staff is super kind as well.
I love ordering from here the good always tastes great and even if i order it from a delivery service it's still fresh.
We (my girlfriend and I) had the General Tso's and the Honey Sesame chicken, and both were really good! Crispy, plenty of sauce, and a whole little black container super full of just meat, and then a side of fried rice. the two ladies behind the counter were both very sweet and helpful. 10/10, highly reccomend.
Great food 😋 👌 my favorite is the combination fry rice and lo mein. It gets very busy is better for take out.
Real good food. I love picking up from here. We always get the combo fried rice! It’s delicious. The spring rolls are delicious too! We also got the sesame chicken and enjoyed that as well.

I ordered to go. It was good, hot, and steamy. I got the orange chicken, chicken lomein, streak rice, and sweet and sour, and all of them were very good. Definitely going back again. Im not really a rice guy but they made it really good. I reccomend this place if youre craving chinese.

Well ordered delivery. Took 1 1/2 HR. No big deal. Untill I open the egg rolls. They are Literally dripping Oil I had a puddle of oil and used 6 paper towels and there still saturated. Orange chicken was super hard old and hard to chew. Happy family was good and sweet and sour was good. 3 stars for half of the food being good. Other than that not very happy. You call and tell them they dont seem to care. No offer of any kind just thank you and hang up the phone
We used to go here every month, the staff was friendly and the food was super good. Recently, over the past year, it’s gone downhill fast. While the staff is still super nice, the food has become lacking in consistency and flavor. The sesame chicken was super mushy, and the rice felt underdone. It had good flavor though so I am super sad that it’s inconsistent. Overall, not my favorite place anymore but hopefully will be again someday.
I just got a little of things I like. I wish the egg rolls were bigger for almost $2. The Hot n’ Sour soup recipe tastes a bit different…not bad but they can keep the celery out of it(not in it before). The fried rice is always tasty for me!

I’ve had this place delivered multiple times and it’s been decent, HOWEVER, last night we did general Tso chicken and chicken lo mein (this one was problematic). The other parts of the meal were fine but the chicken in the lo mein… it was disgusting! Tasted rancid like it had been sitting on the floor for hours! Not sure if it was because of the time of night, either way, people shouldn’t gag and spit out chicken!
Got the combo lo mein, alot of food and cheap, but not very good. Nothing seemed fresh and all in a heavy salty sauce/gravy where no flavors stood out. Wasn't given my receipt or asked if for here or to go. Have eaten at others north of metroplex over many years, this was the worst.
The best chicken fried rice and spring rolls from anywhere ever. The food is always fresh and it’s never a long wait. Update: this rice pot used to be really good. The last few times I went, it was not. The sauces taste like they are cooked with dirty water.
Ridiculously expensive and the chicken was terribly hard to chew. Inside the "restaurant" was like a sauna, hot and humid. I wouldn't suggest eating in. I gave 2 stars because the chicken was hot.

This place is terrible now, I remember years ago when you could get decent Chinese food here, now it’s not even edible. I normally order from the one in Prosper but had to order here because I had a sick child to get home and was nearby to pick it up. We ordered $50 worth of food and most of it was not good. The bell pepper beef looked old or overcooked , and tough as beef jerky. We called rice pot to let them know that. They lady told us to bring back the beef anytime and she’ll refund us cash for it. I took it back the next day, she remembered but was very rude. I won’t order from this location again
Unfortunately this place used to have the best food but here recently the quality has gone down tremendously. I always order delivery and numerous times they have forgotten sweet and sour sauce and yesterday they forgot the rice. Also the meat was spoiled and tasted awful
New management and it shows. The food does not taste the same. This place used to be so good! It tastes generic now and bland. I’m so bummed. I miss the old food. I’ll drive to Denton for better food. They didn’t even know the menu well. Asked for sugar peas beef and was told they don’t have that on the menu, I’ve ordered that for years and the menu still says “sugar peas” under entrees. Maybe it’ll get better over time. I’ll give it a year before I go back.
We recently moved to the area and this is Literally the worst Chinese food I have ever had. And that’s saying something bc we’ve had bad Chinese, Neither my husband nor I could finish our food. After about 5 bites of what tasted like 5x reheated Orange Chicken that was actually brown and tough as leather Pepper Steak, we threw them both away and cooked something else for dinner. This was AFTER I specifically asked them to make it fresh, as we’ve had Chinese restaurants reheat before. They clearly completely ignored that request and instead went and found the oldest food they had and threw it in a to-go box. Disgusting. Do not go here. I have no idea how they are still in business with a lack of quality control that bad. 🤮
Horrible. Food wasnt fresh at all. Im extremely disappointed. The lady that answered the phone was rude after I called to voice my concern. I remained polite and told her I did not want a refund or food, hoping she'd hear me out, but the rudeness continued. Wont ever go back.
I ordered chicken fried rice to go. It was so horrible I couldn’t eat it. Big pieces of raw white onions and not one other vegetable. No peas. No carrots. No eggs. Just large chunks of white pungent onions. The chicken tasted nasty too. I literally started gagging and couldn’t swallow it. I’m so traumatized I may never be able to eat chicken fried rice from anywhere ever again. Normally I wouldn’t never leave a review as truthful as this one but I’m hoping no one else will ever experience this and hopefully the owners will stop selling it. Maybe they don’t even read these reviews. So it’s up to you. If you order from here make sure you know what your eating. I don’t want this to happen to you! You’ve been warned!
Update 10/29/24- not sure if management has changed but the quality of food sure has. The last 4 times it’s been dang near non eatable. Everything is soaked in oil. Every bite taste like dirty oil. I was hoping this place would come back around but we are done. We do not recommend this place any longer. GROSS ____________________________________________ Never eaten inside the place but their delivery service has been great. Food is good too. Not the worlds greatest, but for take-out; our family enjoys it.
I hate to do this but... we just ordered from here & the white rice was sour, old, smelled like an arm pit! We didn't even notice until after we ate it. I pray my family and I doesn't get sick🤮 we have some white rice left and that's when we smelled the horrible sent while putting it away. I notice it a little while eating but I thought I wasn't sure where it was coming from... We called & the lady apologized & said that the rice was old & she was sorry but, we will NEVER order from here again! The egg rolls are now frozen, not fresh like they use to be!! This place should be closed asap!!!
I decided to give this place another try after being disappointed the first time and they let me down even harder this time. The orange chicken is literally cooked to death and has 0 flavor and 0 sauce on it. It’s literally inedible. I would just go to the rice pot in Frisco and avoid this place if there are literally any other options. $30 for this and some soup, totally not worth it at all.
I placed a order that contained the combination fried rice. Almost immediately after eating it everyone in my family who ate it was throwing up and nauseous. When I called the restaurant to get a refund the manager called me a liar claiming that she watched the rice being made and that she found nothing wrong with it. I know for a fact that the shrimp in the rice was not fresh and is what has my family sick. I also found it really unprofessional how the manager felt the need to call me and my family liars, claim that yesterdays customers were satisfied, and proceed to yell at my mother when we hadn't raised our voices at all. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The health department needs to do something about this place. I should have known not to complete my order when the person who took my order yelled at me for not giving them my card number fast enough, when the delivery driver was rude to me so I held my tip and they circled back to confront me, And now that the so called manager feels the need to give people food poisoning and yell at them for not being satisfied.
How is this place still open? My son wanted Chinese food so we tried it… the smell inside the restaurant made me afraid to eat the food. Smelled like the pipes were rotting. My daughter said the chicken was strange. The fried rice has no veggies at all! Random stuff that looks likes worms I’m scared
I repeat do not order from these people they serve unhealthy non-quality food. The woman was coughing, and then stating she made the food like it was supposed to be, However, the woman lie about the shrimp, walnut, saying that it was just sauce and walnut and shrimp when it had all type of vegetables and other things in it and old meat and the fried rice, please save yourself the trouble
So I ordered here a few times, and they’ve made a few mistakes like mixing up my chicken lo mein for pork lo mein. I understand, mistakes happen so I tried them once again. This time I ordered the honey sesame chicken, and I found a piece of metal in my meat. The metal ended up cutting my lip open. Can you imagine if a child had eaten this? Fortunately, I ordered through DoorDash and they were able to fix the issue by refunding me for the meal. But this is completely unacceptable and I will never order from here again. I advise if you have children or elderly and are thinking of feeding them Food from this restaurant, DON’T!!!
Ok so I have their menu I picked up on my previous order (Hugh stack of them on counter) called them and ordered. When I picked up and was ready to pay I noticed the prices were different. So I questioned it the cashier said it was the lunch prices but clearly next to lunch it said dinner too as I pointed to that he knew I was right so the older woman came up and ask how may I help you? I explained to her that she was false advertising, she pointed to the menu on the wall that had changed hand written prices. Her response was prices have been changed nice Covid and they keep fliers for pictures. I told her I will not be returning and her reaction was that she didn’t care.
Just picked up an order of chicken fried rice but this is most definitely not chicken. It has a weird taste and texture and I can't eat it. I should have turned around and left when I saw I was the only person in the resturant. I used to love this place but never again will I ever come back.

Do NOT eat here!!!!!!! This “wire” looking material was found inside my chicken wrapped up. The food wasn’t that good and the “spicy” chicken had no flavor or spice. AVOID!!!
We are new to the area and love the RicePot in Frisco but this location is gross. Ordered 5 entrees and all the rice tasted like it had been sitting or reheated after being cooled. All of the meat was questionable from the doneness, blandness, shape, texture, etc. Staff were friendly but I honestly think it was because they expected a tip after showed up to pick up our nearly $100 order. We have not and will not be back.
I'm not sure what I ate but that was NOT chicken. It tasted like I was chewing on plastic. I knew I should of walked out once I walked inside... it was dirty inside and it smelled like chemicals really bad in there. I gave it a chance because sometimes hole in the walls can be really good. NOPE not this one. BE AWARE.
Food was terrible. One meal had undercooked, slimy chicken and the other had some black thing that was supposed to be chicken. Not sure what it was and frankly afraid to figure it out.
The food is absolutely disgusting. I’m 100% sure the chicken in fried rice isn’t chicken. No flavor, every item very chewy like rubber. Found a few pieces of string not sure what it was. I would steer very clear of this place.
Anything that needs to be fried was completely unpalatable. Lomein and General Tso tasted like the grease was old and ransid. The chicken was so overcooked that it was a fight to get it down the garbage disposal.
