Famous for their porridge - Edit
This eatery has changed hands. It is still famous for its porridge. I was there with my parents this afternoon. Dad ordered the 'fish' porridge, Mum and I tried the dry prawn noodles. We also ordered seasonal vegetables (today's was xiao bai cai) and 'sotong' balls. 'Sotong' balls come in 5 for $4. Mum and I don't really like the dry prawn noodles. Too salty and too rich flavours. I will only come here if other veg eateries in the vicinity are not open.

Great Variery, Great Ambience - Edit
(taste is subjective)
Cozy cafe tucked away in Geylang/Sims Drive.
Spoilt for choices (see photo of menu)
Pros: Reasonable prices, Good portions (value for $ :), VARIETY
Cons: Middle of 2 mrt stations (paya lebar and Aljunied), tucked away from main road

The food is ok. Having vegan options. However, the man serving at the counter was REALLY RUDE in many occasions. It makes you feel like you are 2nd class citizen from his attitude towards you. There are many vegetarian and vegan food outlet that are very nearby and alternative to this store, so I would suggest people to consider eating at other place unless they wouldn't mind having their noon or evening being ruin by some imprudent rude man.

cool place but too salty! (ordered wrong dishes?) - Edit
huge place with beautiful traditional decor. has bhuddist dharma discs, posters and magazines too if you’re keen. also has a huge range of food items for sale! menu is extremely extensive too. wished they had some chef recommendation sections so i could try better dishes! portions are pretty large.
Read more*: enjoyed
here’s what i ordered:
*** #0121 stewed duck porridge $4
best out of all dishes, nice flavour. too salty for me though. love the thick texture of the porridge!
#0001 vegetarian duck rice $4.50
has a weird after taste... will not recommend. rice is hard too.
* #0002 hainanese chicken rice $4.50
not too bad, would prefer other dishes. the beancurd skin chicken slices were too oily. rice has a nice flavour.
** #0065 mushroom noodle soup $4
pretty good! slightly healthier dish. pleasant tasty clear soup. mock meat is pretty realistic!
* #0153 thai’s crispy beancurd $4.50
the firm tofu and sauce was alright. do ask for the sauce on the side or they will drizzle it over!
#0151 texas chicken $5.80
too “mock” and salty for me. the seasoning has a bbq/indian spice to it! you may like it if you’re into these flavours :-)
overall i would love to give this place a shot again as i’m sure i didn’t order the right dishes :’(
Pros: huge menu , quick service , many products, good ambience, huge and airy space
Cons: some dishes are too salty , hard to discern which dishes are nicer

Love this place, so many options - Edit
So many options to choose from whether it's food to dine in or a variety of shelf food to store at home - amazing stuff. We are so pleased our friend recommended this place. The food was delicious and the ordering very simple - go up, order, pay, receive a buzzer number, collect your food when the buzzer buzzes. Cash only, so remember to get cash out before you go here. The uncle behind the till is hilarious and made the meal there even better. Great food, great service, great variety.

Asian dishes with fake meat / fish - Edit
This place is not fully vegan. Only vegetarian. I say this because they sell cakes and other things in their store that have dairy.
Read morePros: Variety and lots of fake meat / fish, Quick service, Cheap

Good curry - Edit
The massive menu can make ordering a bit tricky but food is reasonably priced and pretty good. The curry noodles are my standard go to although my husband isn't as fond of them because the sauce is quite heavy on the coconut milk.

Good inexpensive food - Edit
I tried the Hainanese chicken rice and baby kai lan with oyster sauce. I wasn't 100% sure if the oyster sauce was vegetarian and opted to leave it off, but it probably was fine. Nobody here spoke Cantonese, English or Bahasa Melayu, and I don't speak Mandarin so communication was a little iffy.
Read moreThe rice component of the chicken rice dish was very flavourful but the kai lan was overcooked. I ordered the sour plum drink which was pictured in a glass, and requested no straw be given. The drink came in a disposable plastic cup and with a straw. Terrible that even in a seemingly progressive society like Singapore, disposable plastics are used liberally without a thought for the environment.
Despite the glitches, I would recommend Rice House for tasty inexpensive vegan meals. With consistent requests for no plastic and disposable items, I'm sure the management would change their standard practices for the better.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food, Inexpensive
Cons: Communication a challenge unless in Mandarin, Liberal use of disposable plastics, Unfriendly staff

Nasty attitude and so-so food - Edit
Whole family of 22 pax went to this place for vegetarian food. My daughter and I went to buy a packet of vegetarian food from her favourite outlet. Packed food to join the family but was given a stern warning by the male boss/waiter that we cannot eat outside food. End up we have to eat our packed food elsewhere.
Read moreMale boss/waiter and entire gang have nasty attitude - unfriendly and inflexible. Reconsider before you visit them. Needs lots of improvement.

Great food, service and atmosphere - Edit
The food here is delicious, they have many options and sell out of some in the evening due to their popularity. The flavours are very unique and the portions are very large. Prices are very reasonable and the service is very nice. The atmosphere of the place is very serene and peaceful and they even have lots of free meditation and buddhist books. We came back a few times during our stop in singapore.

Review of Rice House - Edit
Not a good place for the health concious as they do not even have brown rice options. Many items contain gluten/mock meats.

hmm so you rated the restaurant based on its inability to provide brown rice?
