Little Rice - Crystal Lake

Two times. once for dinner and another for lunch. they have a very large selection of food that is great when they want to change it. the pictures are their lunch special portions. 3 roll sushi for $13! that is a deal! had the shrimp tempora, the green flow and the salmon skin rolls, the gyosa and the tsos chicken, a go-to everywhere I go. the lunch specialties also came with ingwersalat. her ingwersalat has a bit of a kick from the ingwer. the last time I left, I had added the Manhattan role (to the favorite list) and hibachi steak. from garnishing and presentation to portion size and taste, I recommend! my only grip would not be with them, but with the city water sucks the city water. others with whom I ate did not notice, but I can smell or taste through some of the elements of the whistle on the poor city water. (scrubs and sauces)

My first time here was great! I ordered the spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. I love the pork on the ramen a lot. It tasted little sweet and juicy which I like. I also like that the pork has no smell because I love trying ramen different places and I can tell that they made it really good! Other than that the noodles is so soft and really good too. I’ll definitely come back and try more.

Had a fantastic take out experience when trying this restaurant for the first time. I had the hibachi chicken and shrimp and it was made to perfection. I’m happy I found my new favorite place for Chinese food.

My wife and I went when they opened up for the day recently. Immediately got seated in a spot we preferred and ordered drinks. Plenty of options for eating, and I mean a lot of options! Everything from sushi and rice to ramen and hibachi style combination dinners. My wife ordered a Poke bowl while I ordered the Shoyu Ramen and we also ordered pot rice with steak.What we didn't expect was a miso soup and ginger salad with our order (albeit we didn't see what our orders came with neither). The Miso soup was flavorful and delicious. The ginger salad was plentiful and the type of ginger sauce I like. One negative mark (in my opinion) is with the salad. Both my wife and I felt that there wasn't enough ginger sauce in the salad. Although we didn't expect it in the first place, it wasn't entirely too flavorful (lack of ginger sauce).My wife's opinion on the Poke bowl was that it didn't have too much flavor neither. It was plentiful as well, but lacked flavor according to her.My Shoyu Ramen was excellent! Big bowl, very flavorful, and delicious! I will be back for more and that's a promise. Their ramen alone was enough for me to be a repeat customer.The pot rice (with steak) was really good! It was big and plentiful. More than enough for my wife and I (although we didn't expect it to be that big). The only caveat is the price. I feel as if the price was just a little too much for what it is. We will still order it again and we do plan on going back soon.Our total bill was roughly a bit more than $25/person (before tip). Not entirely bad overall. Just a few items here and there seem to be expensive. We enjoyed the place. We enjoyed the food. We enjoyed the customer service. Definitely worth trying this place out if you haven't and it's definitely worth going back to.Edit: My wife and I went back again today (11/18/21). We ordered take out this time and I, again, got the Shoyu ramen. My wife got a different poke bowl from the first time and we also ordered beef fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious! My wife enjoyed the poke bowl and I the ramen. We both took out most of the rice and definitely enjoyed the flavor. We were hoping to get some miso and salad like last time but I'm assuming that's for dine in. Until next time..... Because we will be back again!

I got take out, asked for it to be ready at 4, I was there at 3:57 and it was ready. The sushi was bland and chewy. The Wasabi that came with it was more like playdough, I was able to pick it up and bite into it with no regrets. The salad was warm and had a lot of water in the containers. The ginger dressing with the salad was some of the best I've tasted. The sesame chicken was chewy and stringy with very little flavor. The broccoli that came with had definitely been soaked in water. I enjoyed the beef fried rice, but my girlfriend did not. Overall will not be back.
