Reviews
As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the gentleman at the register. Walked up and took a look at the menu which was easy to read and large. I opted for….. orange chicken. With fried rice, the cashier recommended it of course. Added crab rangoons with a fountain drink . Cost ? $18 with a tip. And it was carry out
I sat and waited for about 7 minutes. The gentleman had everything nicely packed in the bag from sauces to utensils.
On my way out they thank me for the buisness.
To my surprise the potion was a normal size. Typical they give out huge portions at Chinese restaurants. And that can be good at times but mostly I dont like a mountain of food.
This was a perfect amount of food for 1 person. That is this was the lunch portion.
The orange chicken was not over cooked and hard. It had a tangy sweet taste as orange chicken should have. The rice was fried and also was good.
It came with a veggie roll and there’s no complaints there.
The crab rangoons were large in size and full of cream cheese and thats perfect .
Over all its a top 3 for me as far as Chinese in the mckinney area!
The good:
– Food was ready super fast for pickup. We live 0.7 miles away from Rice Pot, and my husband left as soon as I placed the online order, and he said our bag was packed and waiting off to the side, on the counter, when he arrived! We were happy to find everything was still very hot.
The okay:
– Overall, the food was just okay. Nothing was terrible, but nothing was worth coming back for.
We ordered:
* crab rangoons – we got 4 in an order and saw and tasted ZERO crab! It was just cream cheese in a fried shelling.
* shrimp fried rice – 3/5. The taste was fine, but there were tons of veggies, and not all of them were diced; there were lots of long carrot and onion pieces, which I don’t personally care for.
*General Tso’s chicken – these were actually good, but like the crab rangoons, not what I expected. The chicken was not even a little spicy; no pepper or “kick”, much less spiciness. And because I know restaurants tend to dumb down things labeled as spicy on their menus, I specifically checked the “spicy” option, when ordering, to let the restaurant know to make my order truly spicy. However, given how quickly our entire order was ready, I suspect the restaurant did not make my chicken to order; they likely just used whatever was in the warmers, for the dine in customers.
*Side of lo mein noodles – not good at all. Not gross, but no flavor or seasoning, whatsoever. It was just linguine noodles with a brown looking coating; no one in my household enjoyed these.
*Dragon & Phoenix – the “Phoenix” was pretty good; the Dragon consisted of the driest chicken my husband said he’d ever had.
We spent just under $50 for the above items, including tip; so it wasn’t exactly cheap either.
All in all, this place is worth a shot if you live super close and must have Asian food; it wasn’t for us though.
