Quick info
About Rice & Noodles
Rice & Noodles is a Chinese takeaway in Basildon, run by a local family from 4 Kibcaps. The menu is big, and it covers both halves of the name. Egg fried rice sits on the rice side, while plain chow mein and chicken chow mein cover the noodles. Chips are on the list too, for anyone who wants them with the rest of the order. The takeaway opens in the evenings only, on every day of the week except Tuesday, when it stays closed. Anyone planning a Chinese meal from this family-run kitchen in Basildon should keep that evening-only pattern in mind.

Customer Review Summary
Curry is the dish reviewers discuss most, and opinion splits. One calls it so tasty, but two describe the sauce as watery, one after asking for no onions and veg and finding both in the dish anyway. Close behind, praise centres on food that arrives hot and on time, with good portion sizes and sweet and sour chicken one diner found cooked perfectly. Staff are called friendly and the phone staff lovely, though one reviewer found the delivery driver ignorant. The complaints run wider: burnt-tasting chow mein, salt and pepper chicken smothered in pepper, a pancake roll that tasted of old oil, and prices that rose on a new menu. One reviewer reports a hair in chilli chips, and another describes something live crawling in the rice. Chips are called overdone and more like cracklings, though the same reviewer says this has recently improved.
