Riksha is a Chinese restaurant in Springfield, Missouri. It’s small in size but that doesn’t take away from the taste. Located in historic downtown Springfield, it has been a landmark for almost twenty years. The atmosphere is quiet and casual and it’s a smoke and alcohol free zone. The people are very friendly and work very hard. You can order to go or sit for a while. Their hours are 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. One friend I know has been going there since he was very young and they still remember him and greet him with a friendly smile. They even know what he’s going to order before he orders it (mostly because he always gets the same thing). Their food portions are not lacking and a meal can fill you up. Their sweet and sour chicken is the best around, though I’m fonder of their pepper steak. If you order extra rice, they certainly aren’t stingy about it. They seem to know what’s needed to accommodate you. Maybe their years of excellent service have brought about a sixth sense in them. Their restaurant is very clean and the tables are usually cleared off right away to make way for other hungry customers. Hopefully they’ll keep this up for years to come. I, for one, hope they do.
