    The atmosphere and service are always outstanding. The food was delicious. My only "complaint" is that the cocktail prices are too high. You can get well balanced delicious cocktails at almost any restaurant locally or otherwise for AT LEAST $2-$3 less.

    We had a wonderful experience at Rikasa in Pittston, Pa. The service was top notch and the food was prepared to perfection. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which was excellent and my husband ordered the Veal Milanese. We started out with appetizers: The Rikada Signature meatball made with pork, beef & veal was absolutely delicious. My husband had the French Onion soup which he thoroughly enjoyed. We have recommended Rikasa to friends and family members and will continue to do so.

    It was all around an ok experience, could have been a very good experience if there wasn’t shells on my stuffed shrimp ever have finger nails in you 20+ dinner. I have and it was difficult to have a pleasant time from that point on. Serving wise nice job and drinks the bomb. It would be an important event for me to return.
