Rice Valley - Newton

The mai tai is legendary... and strong! Our go-to dish is the vegetable udon noodles with soft tofu, but if you want to he healthy, add some chili sauce a bit of soy sauce to the steamed veggies with tofu. The recently added sushi is simple but refreshing. Lots of fruit options and sometimes they'll make us an extra sushi salad! We love to sit at the bar as a couple, but at a table when we come with the kids. The staff are very friendly. Service is amazingly quick. The restaurant does huge amounts of take-out. Clearly a very popular spot. It's our regular neighborhood destination for Chinese food... we won't bother with any other place unless we're headed into Boston. Parking is on street, metered. Close to commuter rail.

I would like to start with the atmosphere of this restaurant. The lighting is near perfect, not to bright nor is it too dark. Beautiful decor I'm always tempted to take something when the waitstaff isn't lookin. Food was delicious and it didn't take long to leave the kitchen. My favorite part about Rice Valley is not the decor, the waitstaff or the food. It's the tiny dice sized salt and pepper shakers on the tables.

Very tasty, we had beef and shripm with broccoli, white noodles with shrimps and other stuff, everything was delicious !!! P.S. very fast service

The General Tso's chicken and white rice were mediocre. The dish lacked spices and flavor, and was priced significantly higher than other restaurants in the area. It should have been the best option for the price, but fell short. The taste was rated 5 out of 10 and the value was 2 out of 10.

If you are looking for Chinese food with excessive salt and oil, this restaurant is the perfect choice. Unfortunately, requesting the chef to reduce these ingredients is futile. There are better dining options in Newton, despite Rice Valley being conveniently located near my home.
