RICE Healthy Japanese Dining

Did not dine in due late arrival but placed an order for delivery to my hotel. Highly recommend the crispy rice sampler. I've never had anything like it before. Just great! I also had the California Miso Ramen. Tasted the miso first and was blown away. Phenomenal flavor and when I put everything together it was just as tasty. I will be back to get the whole restaurant experience one day. Dedicated gluten free which is rare when talking about fried rolls/rice.

A very authentic Japanese restaurant with a warm, touching atmosphere. I visited it second time in a year and they kept the level.
The food is amazing — the sushi tastes exactly like the one I had in Japan, which is truly rare. You can really feel the authenticity and attention to detail. The staff are Japanese, which makes the experience even more authentic.
Highly recommended!

The fried mushrooms are so good! The sushi is also very tasty! They also have vegan ramen, and many other different appetizers. A very nice location where close to the beach.

A fantastic dining experience. We loved the gluten free options, as well as the sushi and salmon. The staff was friendly and the restaurant felt very intimate and relaxed. Just what we needed after a day at the beach. Don’t miss out on this place!

The most amazing dining experience I would recommend to literally anyone and everyone. My husband and I are both gluten free and it is the most wonderful feeling knowing we could order anything off the menu without confirming if it needed to be prepared differently. The food quality was unbelievable. We are visiting California from out of state but next time we’re back in the area again we will absolutely be returning!

Warm and friendly service on a Tuesday evening around 7, parking per use is terrible but no one else was at the restaurant.

The restaurant itself is tiny and cute.

Food was 10/10!

Portobello mushroom fries - eat while hot, the sauce is awesome
Miso cod was so tender
Crispy rice was perfectly crispy- recommend the sampler
The Seafood roll Was so good!
Eel role a close second.
The baked cheesecake and coco banana tart were a sweet way to end dinner.

Four of us ordered our meals. Two meals came out first and those two were completely consumed while we waited for the other two. We asked about the other two meals and they finally arrived. Not a great way to eat together as two couples.

Special four course meal was a nice deal. Started with edamame, then spicy tuna on crispy rice, followed by a roll off the menu and mochi ice cream. Food was tasty and fresh. Service was top notch. Nothing fancy or spectacular - just a nice place for rolls and specials.

this place is exquisite. take a walk on the boardwalk and work up an appetite and then hit this spot. it is absolutely lovely, unpretentious, great service, and fresh tasty food. im a vegan, and loved all of the unique options it was hard to decide - ended up going with the crispy dynamite roll and the miso ramen :) the ramen is HUGE btw i tried so hard to finish it as much as i wanted to

Authentic and delicious.
Best Asian noodles in town.

I was underwhelmed by the amount of food considering the price. If you look at the online menu picture, it is starkly different than the photo I posted. Taste was good, but nothing like the vegan rolls I got at Sakuna in Cleveland the week before. (See photo)

Absolutely love this place. My daughter and I both have celiac disease and it’s 100% gluten-free. The Rolls were outstanding. Very rarely do we get to have specialty rolls with tempura lobster, ponzu sauce, and Ramen noodles. The sushi was extremely fresh. Service was excellent. Love that they had gluten-free beer, our favorite from Colorado, Holidaily. At the end of the meal, without ordering it, they provided chamomile tea. This was a soothing end to a wonderful meal.

A good little japanese spot with great ambiance and design. The rolls they served were tasty but seemed a little small if I am being honest. We got 2 and still could eat quite a bit but prices can stack up quick here. Overall I would come for maybe a roll and a good sake. Otherwise I don't think I would spend too much. Otherwise it is a great place to go and if you are looking to splurge on some tasty sushi in Manhattan Beach, this is a great choice!

Rice is, without a doubt, the most thoughtful Vegan sushi experience we've ever had. The depth, the creativity, the loving attention given to every dish, is remarkable. If you have ever tried Vegan sushi, you know there's a minimum "avocado cucumber" standard but every once in a while you find an artist. Please do yourself a favor and try Rice.

I recently visited Rice Healthy Japanese Dining, and it was an incredible experience! The food was truly authentic, with standout dishes like sushi and salmon that were fresh and flavorful. The miso soup was especially delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again!
