Rickshaw Cafe

Should you be traveling down to Saint George for some summer fun, there is one place that I think everyone should eat. The Rickshaw Cafe. It doesn't sound fancy, and really it isn't, a tiny restaurant trying to make a start. They serve all kinds of cuisine from all over Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. All of which aren't bad, they come in small meals served on trays for a reasonable price, but one meal stands above the rest. It is their Malaysian Walnut Shrimp. Each bite has to be savored individually. It's made up of battered shrimp and candied walnuts in a white honey sauce. The flavor is heaven, and I don't use that lightly. As a whole the restaurant doesn't rise above six plastic spoons, but that dish raises it to ten if not higher. I would recommend this dish to anyone (unless you have a nut or shrimp allergy). Even if you don't normally eat shrimp, or Chinese food, try this. I guarantee you'll love it.

Placed a to-go order and waited for an hour and twenty minutes. I told the manger that I couldn't wait any longer because I had to get home to my kids and that I just needed my money back. He said he couldn't give me my money back. I flipped out of course and left (with no food). I canceled the charges on my credit card when I got home. Suck that Rickshaw.

DON'T BOTHER!
Four of us just had dinner at the Rickshaw tonight, 9/25/2010. We did family style dining and three of the four dishes we had were acceptable. The fourth dish was not. It was a crispy beef dish. It was served in a bowl with a large dose of panko crumbs piled on top of the beef. The beef itself was crispy but had absolutely no flavor.
In addition, the man serving us was extremely curt and rude, to the point that we would NEVER return even if the food had been exceptional!!!
Anyplace is better than this place!!
