So SO by Sarah S. at InsiderPages

My husbands work had their Christmas party at Ri-Ra's and it was alright. The food was very bland though. I thought for the price of the food it would have more flavor and not be so dry.

Yelp.com Review - by Austin J.

3.0 of 5 stars. Ri-Ra's is an Irish pup, not a stereotypical Chinese man saying "We Lost".On weekend's they'll have a cover, but this is offset by the lack of a bathroom attendant, so the overhead expense for going...
