Reviews
Fried rice with shrimp was not heavy on the oil and fresh vegetables. And Peanut sauce was fresh. We enjoyed our meal. Our friends come regularly- now I know why. We will be returning .
Parking was plenty.
The guy that greeted us didn’t seem happy to see us. He didn’t say anything other than confirming 3 people. I tried saying hello, thank you, and no response to anything. Awkward.
There was one other table in the dining room when we arrived. There is no music playing and it was awkwardly quiet.
I asked our server (not the guy who sat us) about the “ Chef Special Vegan” soup. It was “not pho and only came with noodles, green onions, and carrots.” Could I add other veggies? “No, they are really strict about that here.” It was cold outside and I wanted soup, so I still got it. The broth was good but $10 for noodles, broth, and onions didn’t seem like a good value. There were actually carrots in it.
My coworker had to get up and try to find the server because we didn’t get chopsticks and needed napkins. My other coworker didn’t get the soda he ordered when we were first greeted by our server until after our food came out. I think 2 other tables came in during our duration. But our server seemed a little stressed. I actually felt bad for her, like maybe it wasn’t the best place to work.
My coworkers thought their food was pretty good, too. But we all agreed it was an awkward experience with a weird vibe in there, and we probably won’t revisit.
The coffee drinks made at the table are so creamy. Thank you to the family
Nonetheless, the “chow mein” tasted good.
Five years following my first and only visit to Ri Li, I decided to try them again. We were greeted by a nice lady who sat us at a table around the corner from the front door. Water was promptly delivered to the table. An older gentleman came to the table to take our order. I ordered for my wife, she often tells me in advance, and then for myself. Pork chowmein for my wife and Vietnamese special beef soup no noodles, if you follow my reviews you’ll notice asking for no noodles is very a thing with me.
Immediately after I placed my portion of the order, the gentleman mentioned to my wife a special or something along that line, but she opted to stick with the pork chowmein. After the gentleman walked a few tables away, he asked if it was chicken soup. He wanted to confirm what he thought he heard, and I corrected him, stating beef. After a few minutes, I tell my wife I bet he doesn’t remember I asked for no noodles. Sure enough, my soup arrived with noodles.
After he returned with the pork chowmein, my wife mentioned I had ordered it with no noodles. He seemed taken back, and then, without saying much more, he grabbed my soup spoon off the table and placed it back on the plate that was under the bowl. It was very easy to tell by the way he grabbed the spoon and then the entire dish that he wasn’t happy. As he walked away behind us heading to the kitchen, he made some remark. It was loud enough that you could hear him, the tone, but not the actual words.
My first reaction was to get up and ask what he had said and end our dining expierenced but I opted to let it go. He came out from the kitchen and walked part way to us to ask if I would like bean sprouts or something with it, which I agreed on more bean spouts. He may not have approached the table because the look on my wife’s face wasn’t pleasant. I will be fair and mention that the older gentleman was pleasant to us when taking our order. A younger girl brought my soup out to me the 2nd time. The soup itself had a pretty good flavor like pho would. The bean sprouts had a great crunchiness to them while the beef was tender. As for the value of the meal, the consumer gets the short end of the stick in several ways.
The biggest complaint I have was the size of the bowl, which they call a large is a small at other Vietnamese restaurants. The beef consisted of only brisket and round. Towards the end of my meal, I realized their cilantro, Thai basil, and mint were cooked into the broth(I assume) since they didn’t serve it with jalapeños or additional toppings like most Vietnamese restaurants do.
My wife’s pork chowmein was plentiful. The ingredients were fresh and cooked nicely. I felt the sauce was missing something. It wasn’t bland but just needed a little something more. There was a small saucer of sauce that looked like what was served with bun cha gio. It was too sweet for my wife’s liking, so she didn’t add it to her dish. The dish also came with steamed white rice that was cooked properly.
In conclusion, I would’ve bumped my review up a star because the pork chowmein was great. I expected the beef soup to be like traditional pho and come with more varies of beef, including meatballs. Bean sprouts, jalapeños, and lime slices are typically served with traditional pho, which leads me to think that’s why they call theirs a soup and not pho. Unfortunately, between my meal not being served as ordered and the gentleman’s actions/behavior, a 1 star review suits the experience.

One phote shows the beef soup with noodles and one without. The other photo shows you the pork chowmein and side sauce.
