Rice Bowl: Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Lompoc, CA

The owner/chef was so helpful. We appreciated he went above and beyond to satisfy our needs . The food was delicious and you can appreciate his dedication. Love the spicy sauce he gave us. Our first time and I will recommend to my family and friends. Thank you

Great food made from scratch, very fresh veggies. Even better service. Such a great semi hole-in-the-wall iconic historic Lompoc Chinese food. I'll definitely go back.

The food is fresh and so delicious! You can tell they have perfected their food over the years and still put love into the dishes. The portions are pretty large because they're meant for sharing, so perfect for the family. The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated. Fast and friendly service. The best chinese food I've ever had. Can't wait to go back!

One of the best spots in Lompoc! The Rice Bowl never disappoints — the food is always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The portions are generous, and the service is super friendly. You can really tell it’s a family-run place that cares about their customers. My favorites are the chow mein and orange chicken both are amazing! Definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Chinese food.

Great service. Forgot to take a picture of food. However I just don’t carry phone and document everything although those are the things the make having a phone worth while capturing moments like coming to this humble restaurant which has been around since 1947 right after the war. My question is how it managed during the time te Japanese people got a crime committed against them by their own government in the United States. I know it’s a heavy duty question. I am a history professor and am aware of American racism especially during the second world wars. America went to fight other racist but still struggled to uhh its own forms of hate. Moving forward the experience was nostalgic. Hot tea a pot to myself the price was great ,quality was great. Staff was outstanding lovely service full of care. They outa smile on your face for sure.

Hadn’t been in for a long time and was impressed with menu changes. Famous for giant egg rolls and all four of us devoured them. Delicious. Chinese beer was great too. Definitely trying all the menu again.

Super beautiful hole in the wall everything about the business screamed authentic, grab some sweet and sour pork ribs with some beef chow fun, super earthy ummami flavors and the chilli oil is one of the best I've had ever! Grab some hot tea and your belly will thank you

Chow mein was really good, lots of flavor. The chicken noodle soup was also flavorful and the noodles were great texture. The inside decor was pretty. The lady serving us was the sweetest, reminded us of our grandmas
