Poch’s Rice Cafe

Their egg rolls are THE BEST! And their Orange Peel Beef! WOW!!! It’s fantastic!!!
I have been looking for a really good Chinese restaurant since I moved here 6 years ago. This is some of the best, freshest food I have had in a long time.

This is the best Chinese I’ve had in Tyler. The egg rolls are huge and delicious. Egg drop soup was very good. Husband had shrimp fried rice, extra spicy, and it was great. The sesame chicken was also very good. $ 22 for all above and two drinks. Will be back.

Best vegetable egg roll in town. Egg drop soup outstanding with some fried noodles. Enjoyed everything I have had there so far.

I got the orange chicken. The sauce was great the rice was perfectly cooked the chicken was fresh. I got a free egg roll with the order which was nice and it was good but pretty greasy. I will definitely be coming back. For the price very fresh food and good qualities

Really liked this place as far as Chinese food. I wasn’t a fan of the sauce on the beef and broccoli, but I LOVE the egg rolls and fried rice. The service is amazing as well.

Wow — out first time to eat here and all 4 of us voted to return! Each of us ordered something different and NONE of us had any complaints. Can I just add there were no leftovers?! We all cleaned our plates: one had the special of the day (garlic chicken), one had Mongolian chicken, one had garlic shrimp and one had Kung pao beef with a side order of won ton soup.
Will we come back? DEFINITELY!

I was in town for a workshop and I had been craving some noodles and sesame chicken for about a week. I thought I’d check what places around the area would satisfy my craving that had good reviews — and Poch’s ended up being the winner.
I ordered sesame chicken, steamed lo mein, and an egg roll.
I called ahead and they told me it would be ready in 10 – 15 minutes.
Which worked perfectly because we were about 9 minutes away.
The other people I was with were ordering their food so by the time we’d get there after 15 minutes or more.
When we got there it was a bit confusing, because the Unilocal address is wrong. It’s actually on the other side and closer to the intersection.
Anyway, I went in and went to the counter at the back of the restaurant. I told the young lady working behind the counter that I was here for my food that I ordered over the phone. She asked me for my name, I gave it to her.
I asked her how long — and she said only a few more minutes.
I think we waited for maybe 10 minutes (I got distracted chatting away) and I asked one of the other ladies where my food was — that I was told it would be ready in 10 — 15 minutes. & it had already been 10 minutes over that. The lady looked at me, said oh okay, and came out with my food all ready in a bag.
We went back to where we were having the workshop, and although the noodles were good I was disappointed in the chicken.
It was not hot — it was a little cold. The chicken was soggy and a bit bland.
But the noodles were good, the eggroll was decent.
Nothing to write home about.
All in all, probably won’t be back if I’m ever in Tyler.

I really enjoyed my meal. I got the special of the day which was a spicy chicken dish that came with soup or egg roll. I got the egg drop soup and it was delicious. The chicken was spicy but not overwhelming, just right. VERY friendly servers and spotless table area. Best part, reasonably priced. I will be back.

Good not great. The staff was very friendly and while the food was good, kinda felt like something was missing. I had the happy family and my son had the beef and broccoli. They both were good but just seemed like something was missing. Maybe it was the «soy rice» they used or something. Either way everything was good and I would go back. I wouldnt call it the best in Tyler but its better than the buffets.

Please come eat at this restaurant. The food is delicious. Our table had crab Rangoon, pot stickers, sesame chicken, orange peel beef, and combo lo mein. Everything was delicious, not those thick syrupy sauces that the other places serve. Perfectly cooked veggies. Friendly and helpful staff. For the love of all that is holy, please eat here and keep this place in business. It makes all of the other Chinese restaurants in town look bad.

One of the better more reasonably priced Chinese restaurants in Tyler with great food. The service was great and our order came out in no time. I hope they stay open because this restaurant is yummy!

Love this place! In the location where the old Basil Thai had been so they had big shoes to fill. I believe the owners are the old Peking owners and man is this place good! Just finished some excellent egg rolls, egg drop soup, and pot stickers… All delicious! The hot and sour chicken is also top notch! Fresh ingredients, made to order, AND cheap!!! This one is on the shortlist at our office of places to go to for lunch. Highly recommended!

Old Peking is back. Run here and order as many egg rolls as you can. Check the place out. In the old Thai place. This is the best Chinese food for the price in Tyler!
