Quick info
About So Rice Chinese Takeaway Port Glasgow
On Princes St in Port Glasgow, So Rice Chinese Takeaway operates as a walk-in shop, with orders also placed by phone for collection or delivery. The menu runs through familiar takeaway staples, including Chicken and Mushroom and Chicken Chow Mein, alongside a salt chilli snack box served with fried rice, chips and curry, and salt and chilli ribs. Payment is cash only, though no sign at the counter states this, so it is worth having cash ready before ordering. The shop opens Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, and runs evenings only. Delivery extends the menu to nearby streets for those not collecting in person.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken is the most discussed item, and reviewers are split on it. New customers praise the Chicken and Mushroom and the Chicken Chow mein, and others single out the salt and chilli ribs, a snack box with fried rice chips and curry, and large portions. One reviewer calls it the top Chinese takeaway in Port Glasgow and says early teething problems have passed. Close behind are complaints about that same chicken: batter described as tough like leather, chewy or soggy chicken, and a Chicken Maryland served with smoked sausages. Delivery draws criticism too, with one reviewer saying the food arrived cold and had to be microwaved. Several describe phone staff as rude or off hand, and one says the call ended with the phone being hung up. Order errors recur, including sweet and sour chicken sent as chicken balls with no rice, and a plain chicken chow mein that arrived with every vegetable and no chicken. The replacement still came with vegetables.

“I don't know why I keep giving this place the benefit of the doubt. It states on their website delivery is up to an hour but with it being a Chinese you expect a little longer. 2 and a half hours and I'm still waiting even after the shop told me half an hour ago that the driver had left and was already on his way....from where? Glasgow?? I ordered it at 6.30pm (not even a huge or difficult order), it's now 9pm and it's just arrived and is cold! Had to stick it in the microwave. That was the last time I used this place and it was always great years ago. It's gone right downhill and the chicken is either chewy or cold and you'll wait at least 2 hours for the privilege. Definitely would not recommend this place at all.”

“We ordered food and they said cash only. No sign or board outside saying cash only. They don’t take card I believe it’s for tax purpose . wasted all out time coming here all the way from Glasgow. There was a lady who served us not great she didn’t give any option or not pleasant enough to serve customers.”

“So Rice is hands down the best Chinese takeaway in Port Glasgow. They had some teething problems when they first opened but they've all been swept away. The food is delicious, deliveries are usually pretty quick and the pricing is fair. You can't go wrong with a So Rice”
