Best Value Picks at Rice Bowl
This part is my opinion, not a fact from the restaurant. If you want the most food for the least money, a few things stand out.
Pork plates are the cheapest meat mains, with most singles at $11.49. The #1 Chicken Fried Rice at $10.99 comes with two crab rangoon, so it’s close to a full meal for about eleven dollars. If two people are eating, a family-size chicken plate at $16.99 works out to roughly $8.50 each. And crab rangoon at $5.49 is a cheap, crispy side to share.
Vegetarian and Vegetable Options
Rice Bowl has solid choices if you skip meat. The meat-free picks include Vegetable Deluxe, Vegetable with Hunan Sauce, Vegetable with Tofu, Peanut Butter Tofu, Sesame Tofu, and Yum Yum Tofu. You can also get Vegetable Fried Rice, Vegetable Chow Mein, Vegetable with Low Mein, Vegetable Egg Foo Young, or the Egg & Onion Fried Rice.
One thing to know: many of these use egg or soy sauce, and the kitchen fries in shared woks. So the dishes are vegetarian-friendly, but they aren’t strictly vegan. Ask the staff if you need a dish made without egg.
Allergen and Nutrition Notes
Rice Bowl does not publish official calorie counts or a full nutrition chart. So this guide does not list calorie numbers. Any calorie chart you see elsewhere for a generic rice bowl is a guess, not this restaurant’s real data.
The menu does flag some allergens on certain items. For example, the pork egg roll lists wheat, soy, and eggs. The vegetable egg roll lists wheat and soy. Shrimp, scallop, and krab dishes contain shellfish. Many dishes use soy sauce, egg, and wheat.
The menu also warns that some seafood items may contain raw or undercooked shellfish. Eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs can raise your risk of foodborne illness. If you have a food allergy, call (402) 558-1222 before you order.
How to Order From Rice Bowl
Rice Bowl is a quick-serve spot. You order at the counter for dine-in or takeout. There’s no table service.
For online orders, the restaurant uses Toast. Toast online orders are set up for pickup, and the restaurant says these orders are commission free and go straight to them. That means more of your money reaches the restaurant instead of a middleman. You can also call your order in at (402) 558-1222.
Outside delivery apps may carry the menu too. Their prices are often higher than pickup, and they add service and delivery fees.
