Mi Rice Noodle Bar in Southampton

Have been going to MI Rice for a couple of years now. Never had a bad experience. The food is fantastic, freshly made, fresh ingredients, and if you close you eyes you would believe you are in Asia somewhere in a local restaurant. Have tried several dishes but keep going back for the Spicy Pulled Pork Soup Based Noodles, where you have a choice of noodles to go for. Go for the large portion and if you are brave, you can up the spice by two levels. Not got passed level one. Great value and takes me about 40 minutes to eat and it stays hot the whole time. Friendly and efficient staff.

Great food but small portions. Noodles are cheap, not worth £10. I have asked for bigger portion but they refused!! If I'm really hungry I go somewhere else. Which is a shame because their food is really good. Want to.

Beware of ordering via Deliveroo. It's difficult to complain about an order being incorrect when you're not there. One of the items ordered was Stir Fried Noodles with Grilled Chicken, what was delivered was Stir Fried Noodles with Pork. A total 'no,no' for a Muslim! They obviously can't reliably deliver what the customer orders. A second problem, not their fault and not therefore reflected in my rating, was that Deliveroo had crushed the container of soup broth for the Soup Noodle order spilling the contents into the packaging. Mi Rice and Deliveroo are certainly not a match made in heaven.

This is arguably one of the best restaurants in Southampton, bar none. Sure, the overall décor is more café than restaurant, but you’re here ultimately for the food, and this place excels at that. The potions are massive, for any blokes thinking of opting for large by default, be prepared they bowls are big! The food is amazing, its all made fresh just a few meters away, the staff are friendly, prices are very reasonable, with a main between £8 to £12 for a large bowl and it is superb. The Bubble tea is nice but possibly the only overpriced aspect. If visiting with more than one its worth booking a ticket as this place is often full within the hour, but they do have a walk-in takeaway. – Still if noodles are you thing this is the best Southampton has to offer for sure.

Tasty food and excellent, friendly service. Ordered chicken udon soup and tofu stir fried pho noodles. Portions are generous and the staff went above and beyond!

I really recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, everything done just right. Massive bowls of fresh, scrumptious noodles, rice & soup. Will definitely be back.

Service staff are really friendly and accommodating in this little restaurant bar. Food was really good and well worth the money, as shown by not being able to finish it all! Just be warned the hot bowl is deff' hot so watch yourself!

Wow very impressive, lovely food. Service was ok, a bit confusing, was not busy, but can happen. We will be back
