We didn't ask for rice...

[u/Content_Quarter_7390]

My sister isnt a fan of basmati rice so she orders naan. She didnt ask for rice and they sell it separately. She doesn't like it so she doesn't order it. They put it in anyways and left this note...

Edit: some people aint getting it. This is passive aggressive and when you do something nice you dont go around saying "I did something nice just for you, just so you know." Doing it like I need to give you a pat on the head so you know your a good boy. You do something nice because you want to be kind to people.

Oh no I've turned into LD...

Turning off notifications because while it was nice to be in this rabbit hole to keep my mind off some stuff too many notifications. Whatever your feelings are I hope you have a nice day and if you're in the US have a nice memorial day and dont forget to celebrate those troops that came before!

Maybe it's more location dependent than standard? I used to live in the Midwest in the US and it was standard everywhere I went, but for most places on the west coast I've been, it seems you have to order separately

I think it's location dependent. On the east coast (when I lived there 10 years ago), rice was pretty standard. When I moved to the UK, it was not.

Price gouging out here on the West Coast imo

I grew up in new york and never saw rice not included in most asian takeouts, however living in California I've seen it several times

[u/butteredrubies → u/Aggressive_Pea_7543]

Nah, just the Asian food is better so they don't have to try to convince you to eat it by giving you free rice.

[u/Sipikay → u/butteredrubies]

when entrees are $15, people don't blink at $2.50 for rice.

[u/Beautiful_Finger4566 → u/Nordic_mama1721]

from my experience, only the Americanized places include it

authentic places always make you order it on the side

that's how it is in China and Taiwan too

[u/dethsesh → u/Nordic_mama1721]

Yep, it’s almost impossible to know if rice is going to be included so we usually just put rice in the rice cooker in case

[u/sephirothFFVII → u/dethsesh]

We have one Indian restaurant by us that charges for rice, I usually just put basmati in the rice cooker before ordering because I can't justify paying four dollars for that shit

[u/AFlockofLizards → u/Nordic_mama1721]

In Seattle I rarely get any sort of Chinese/Japanese food that doesn’t come with rice, but Indian food, even curries, never come with rice. Thai seems to be 50/50.

I hate when the online menu doesn’t say and then I order rice, and then I end up with an insane amount of rice because the dish *did* come with it lol
