Super friendly staff and decent grub. We only ordered delivery but the delivery man and the woman I spoke to on the phone were incredibly kind and helpful. Now, normally if we want Chinese food we go to Chinatown, but sometimes we are lazy. Or tired. Or we are depressed because it's gloomy and -20 outside with the windchill. In such cases there's no way in hell that we're getting off the couch to go anywhere to eat dinner... and that's where De Rice delivery comes in.

Decent food, inexpensive, and what you expect for inexpensive chinese food. We are from Oregon and had a craving for americanized chinese food. Egg fu young in Oregon, is green potato like patties with weird yellow cream gravy (seriously, you won't find the real thing in Oregon).However, at De Rice, the Egg Fu Young was great and the gravy was spot on ~ nice to have an old east coast favorite! Tasty, salty, not too spicy and not too greasy either. Food reheats well and we are impressed given all the negative reviews of chinese food in Hyde Park. I think this may be the hidden chinese gem in Hyde Park. Veggies were fresh too. Not amazing, but solidly good, clean, fresh. Thank you.

The food is definitely better than your standard chinese food (especially in hyde park). but man. they are the nicest people in the area. they are always willing to give recommendations (that are good and in line of what you're generally looking for).that delivery guy. he's the nicest guy in the world. loves to have a conversation. he also always smiles and always says "i hope you have a nice dinner". really the nicest delivery guy in the world.

So I am obsessed with fried rice ... OBSESSED .... seriously.De Rice has the best fried rice in Hyde Park. That's the bottom line. The combination "De Rice Fried Rice" is delicious and has tons of all the different meats. But my go-to is the Shrimp Fried Rice which is equally delicious, generous on shrimp, and slightly cheaper than the combination.Hubby also loves the Chicken and Broccoli stir fry. For a buck extra I also get some crispy noodles to munch on all day/night. Crab Rangoon and egg-rolls are both perfectly acceptable and the Fried Chicken Wings are large and quite good. Best part is that they are consistent. Everything tastes like it should, every time you order.The delivery guys are great - friendly and super-quick.A note on the competition:Nicky's has it's moments, but is WAY overzealous on the soy sauce most times. Not worth the risk.Wok 'n Roll is fine for a cheap lunch special, but you have to eat everything while it's hot because, much like McDonald's fries, after 15 minutes or so, it turns into packing peanuts.
