| - O My Rice is a type of Asian fusion restaurant (they seem to be everywhere) that recently opened in my part of town. Carbs carbs carbs!
This place is akin to your L&L and your Aloha Kitchen, with a mixture of hearty Asian cuisine from all over the world. Filipino is noticeable on the menu, which is funny because not ONE Filipino in sight behind the kitchen!! So, as such, we stayed away from the Filipino food because if it ain't better than my Mama's then it ain't worth trying. Sorry guys.
We had a Yelp coupon that gave us I believe $20 worth of food for $12. With that we decided it give it a go. Wound up at O My Rice on a Friday night, it was pretty empty at the time. Menu boards are pretty straight forward though. Appetizers, salads, meals, noodles & rice, and desserts. We wanted to maximize our Yelp coupon so wifey & I decided on a couple of meals and an appetizer to share. We ordered:
*Kalbi Short Ribs ($10.99) - beef short ribs grilled with Korean BBQ sauce
*Mochiko Chicken ($7.99) - Japanese style sweet fried chicken
*Eggroll ($4.99) - 6 piece
Each meal came with your choice of fried rice or chow fun noodles & choice of house salad, mac salad, or seaweed salad. For the Kalbi Short Ribs meal we got fried rice & mac salad, for the Mochiko Chicken meal we got the chow fun & seaweed salad.
Order didn't take very long, about 15 minutes from start to finish to be packed up to-go. Boxes were heavy & packed well. Quick, friendly service. Under $20 to boot!
Once we got home, we discovered that O My Rice likes to do just that...O MY RICE! They pack on the carbs!! Our plate was heavy with more fried rice than meat! A heap of mac salad! The Kalbi Short Ribs was on the small serving side, 6-8 thin cut pieces. Same went for the Mochiko Chicken, 6-8 pieces but with a ton of chow fun noodles and a decent size serving of seaweed salad.
The Kalbi Short Ribs were pretty standard. Store bought marinade, nothing very special but they were BBQ'd well with nice burnt edges. The Mochiko Chicken was much closer to a Teriyaki Chicken (it's possible they made a mistake) because there was no batter on the actual chicken itself, but the flavor was very sweet. Wish the salad with the meals were packed in separate containers because by the time we got home, the mac salad & seaweed salad were warm and soggy from being in the same container as the hot food. Pretty much a waste.
The eggrolls were not to my liking unfortunately - very little filling and too much of a sesame oil flavor. They were fried OK though.
The standouts here were the CARBS! The plain fried rice & chow fun noodles were tasty! Must be the sauce they use or the way they are wok-cooked - really adds that Chinese 'breath of the Dragon' taste you get from cooking in a wok with high BTU. Wifey & I really enjoyed that.
Would be back to O My Rice again if they put a larger serving of meat with the meal & they pack the salad separately. I would probably have to have another coupon though again to venture out that way. But it looks like our next order would be from their section of the menu where you can build your own fried rice or chow fun noodle plate.
