  Peek in for the Retro feel and then leave!. We wanted to grab lunch in Lompoc and drove by the Rice Bowl. It had a great retro look to it and I figured it was the kind of chow mein house that I grew up with. Americanized Chinese food that was not authentic, but still full of flavor and has it’s own unique menu items and good tastes.It was retro and the inside could have been a movie set from 1960. It made me a little nervous to see how empty it was at noon on a Saturday. I noticed all the fish tanks had not been cleaned and they all had dirty, dirty water and full of green slime.I ordered a sweet and sour pork. Seemed like a safe and easy bet. Both the pork and my eggs rolls had a bitter taste to them. I then recognized that they fried both items in old and dirty oil that left a filmy taste in your mouth.I did not finish my meal as it tasted so oily and filmy. They still charged me and did not apologize or seem to care.We left and stopped for fast food on the way out of town. I needed something to get the horrible taste out of my mouth!

  I went there with two friends and we ordered the family meal for three. There was so much food we ended up bring home four boxes! The food was very tasty, especially the fried rice. You definatly get your money’s worth! The atmosphere is an interesting mix of Chinese resteraunt and American 50’s Diner.

  Walked in and was overpowered by a rotten fish smell. Dirty, dark, and smelly.

  Food is Ok. I have been there twice with friends and they hated it. Food is all in this slop mixture. Be prepared for moist dish’s.
