Having eaten at Chinatown a lot lately, I was in the mood for some bad Chinese. Not like bad tasting. But something like Panda Express Americanized level Chinese food. Enter The Rice Box. I had seen their menu many times passing by. And I saw they offer many Americanized dishes. I might have even ordered from here once a long time ago. I can’t remember. But it wasn’t memorable if I had. Sticking with my mission, I decided to order the General Tso chicken. I debated between Lo Mein and Fried Rice as the side. I decided the greasier the better, so I went with noodles. First off I have to say the egg roll was hot and fresh. Kudos for that. Nothing better than a crispy egg roll. Next the chicken. It was ok. Not much flavor though unfortunately. It was kinda like having COVID all over again. There were a lot of tiny crunchy bits too. I think most people wouldn’t like that fact. But I actually like those bits. It’s just like Long John Silvers which throws all those crumbs in at the bottom of your takeaway bag - I love those. And there were a lot of them too. As for the Lo Mein, I couldn’t really eat much of it. I mean, I think it tasted ok for what it was I guess. But I didn’t care for it. Maybe the fried rice would’ve been better. I know my kid would love something like that though, so I decided to take it home. I always like to try the fortune cookie to see if they’re stale. It wasn’t! Portions are solid. servers were prompt. Huge long line. But if moved fast. Very retro in feel. One of the 3 screens had on Empire - so extra star for that. Very cool. Location a bit hard to get to being in the basement of a workplace. I think they cater to the office folks.
