In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Austin; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Texas are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 6 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–2:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Rice Bowl Cafe at (512) 835-8888; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is pos.chowbus.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 1,385 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Austin and suggests consistent service.
Austin is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Austin follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my order. I got the shrimp fried rice, and while the shrimp were very large, they seemed undercooked based on both the texture and taste. The rice was okay, but nothing memorable, and the overall dish tasted watered down and lacked seasoning. I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was not good at all. I would give it zero stars if that were an option.

This was a very disappointing experience. The fried rice wasn’t terrible, but it was easily the least enjoyable fried rice I’ve had, and it felt overpriced for the quality. The service made things worse. The restaurant was completely empty, but the staff member kept coming back to our table asking if we were finished even though we were still eating, which made us feel rushed. The most uncomfortable part happened when paying. I signed the receipt without leaving a tip due to the service. She came back and told me to fill out the tip line, so I wrote $0. Then she returned again asking me to rewrite the tip amount to give them money because she and the other person there wanted money. I’ve never had a restaurant pressure me for a tip like that before. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. Because of the food quality and the service, I won’t be returning.

I visited Taiwan early this year, so I want to eat Taiwanese food again. We got Three Cup Chicken Chef’s Special Fried Rice Vegetable Soup Chef’s Special was excellent 👍 Three-cup Chicken was exactly what we expected. My wife verified it for me. I highly recommend it to those who are looking to taste Taiwanese food!

Best fried rice ever!!!! The shrimp is soooo good and big. Cooked to perfection. I haven’t been here in years since moving to Round Rock. I thought maybe the food wasn’t gonna taste the same. Boy, was I wrong. It’s better now than before. Best egg drop soup ever!!! I don’t eat egg drop soup anywhere but here. The taste, the flavor, and the added veggies…yes sir. Hittin’ all the right taste buds. I won’t be going years again without. I might be back this week.

Dined here in a fairly large party which worked out well because their portion sizes are massive! We got to try quite a bit of the menu and enjoyed everything. They have a mix of traditional and "Americanized" dishes. The roast beef rolls were one my favorites. Price point is good, plenty of parking in their lot, and low noise level.
