RICE Healthy Japanese Dining

Came to Rice for dinner and ordered the crispy rice flight and the crunch miso ramen. Thoroughly enjoyed the crispy rice. I thought they all tasted good. The broth on the ramen was tasty but the contents of the ramen were different from what I’m accustomed to having avocado and crispy onions in it. Definitely a nice place to visit when in the area. #Veganuary

Good atmosphere, outdoor seating was great. Kind service and good food. I usually struggle to find non-pork ramen options - they have plenty of seafood vegatarian options!

Ramen was perfectly average. Maybe healthy californian food but no point.

Restaurant is under staffed in the room and the wait is outrageously long. The staff has no idea what timeframe means.

Phenomenal. The menu is extensive with incredible offerings, and I love that they have some vegan options mixed in for a variety of diners. Outstanding service in a very cozy atmosphere. 10/10

I was very excited to check this place out, I love sushi.

The atmosphere was lovely, near the beach and nicely decorated with low light.

The service was friendly.

The prices for the veggie sushi were very high, in particular relative to the much smaller than typical rolls.

They use a lot of healthy and unusual ingredients, like making rolls from brown rice.

What I had was reasonably tasty, but mushy and relatively basic. For the price and expectations I don't think it quite lived up to it, but the meal was still enjoyable.

I'm hind sight they had some tasty sounding Ramen ?, I kind of wish I had tried one of those while there.

Vegetarian options: They have an unusual take on sushi, with ingredients like brown rice. There were at least a couple of options, but not very many.

I would say it was good, but not great - kind of mushy and not super flavorful and for the veggie sushi the prices relative to the smaller than typical portions aren't a great deal.

I'm hind sight I wish I had tried one of their vegan ramen dishes which sound intriguing.

This is a review of the (new!) Little Tokyo location. It doesn’t have a Google page yet, but deserves some shine. Rice made a great dinner spot after a spirited karaoke night. The waitstaff was kind, and I appreciated the vegan and gluten-free options. The sushi rolls were delightful and very creative. My top recommendation? The Lobster Dynamite roll.

The tableware and water glasses are carefully selected, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to quality. Parking can be difficult to find as it is located in Manhattan Beach.

For GF and vegan options RICE is a treasure in Manhattan Beach. While Manhattan has a handful of other Japanese options, this stands out. A very welcoming staff though solo dining can be awkward given the setup. Don’t forget to inquire about the 90266 RICE hoodies.
