The Rice Reviews
Vegetarian options: As far as I could tell there were only three or four vegetarian options in the menu. It wasn't a particularly large menu as it's not a particularly large restaurant, so it's to be expected. Vegetarians can go and find something but I don't think there's a specific draw for us as their main dishes they are known for are all dish based.
This is not the first time I’ve eaten here, nor will it be the last. The food is always delicious and fresh, with a hint of love and soul. One of my favorite dishes is the Salmon Tataki Donburi, it is well balanced between the rice, salad mix, and salmon.Parking: Parking is never been an issue, since it is a smaller restaurant and not much seating, it is preferable to order take out.

Ate here per a passing suggestion from someone. We arrived shortly after opening, so getting a seat was easy. If I spoke Japanese then I would be able to order in Japanese. The menu is a good size. I had jidori chicken udon. I've never had udon before, but the dish was great, and the broth was clean without being oversoaked with grease. For the price, I wish there was more chicken. I asked for warm water (instead of hot), but I got cold (instead of icy) instead. Otherwise friendly...read full review
