Purple Rice is a neighborhood favorite, known for its comforting Korean dishes. The soft tofu soup and Veggie Soft Tofu stew are highly recommended, with many vegan options that are usually hard to find. The staff is very knowledgeable and ensures everything is vegan when requested. The food is delicious, with dishes like the veg Dolsot bibimbap with tofu and tasty sides like wings, pancakes, and jap chae. Everything has the right amount of sweet and spicy, with perfect textures. While some dishes like the sizzling pot with Korean short ribs could be more generous with portions, the food is fresh and seasoned just right. The restaurant is spacious, making it comfortable for customers, and it does not get too loud. The ambiance has nice moody lighting, simple and cutesy. Quick and kind service, along with wheelchair accessibility, make Purple Rice a go-to spot for a satisfying meal. Many customers enjoy the consistency in food quality and appreciate the friendly staff, especially for refills on banchan. Popular dishes like bibimbap, ramen, and kimchi pancake are favorites for comfort food, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available.
