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 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 best. Service is always top notch and friendly. Staff is knowledgeable of allergies. The atmosphere is cute. Great for dates or girls night out. The food is so good I always look forward to my next visit. So happy I get to eat my favorite food, sushi, and stay safe from gluten! A must try.

This restaurant offers authentic Japanese cuisine. The dishes are meticulously prepared, allowing you to enjoy them with all your senses. The outdoor seating offers a view of the sea, making it a delightful place to dine, especially during lunch. 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.

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!

Best meal I’ve had in years. Every once in a while you stumble upon a place like this. This hits my sweet spot for a restaurant. Nothing pretentious or fancy for no reason. Just super high quality food, prepared with care and creativity. Every dish we had was excellent. Just the right balance of flavors and textures: not too salty, sweet, or strong. Everything cooked to perfection – fried mushrooms were just cooked enough on the inside but not overcooked, and perfectly crisp on the outside. The kabocha squash was the perfect texture. We loved the chunky cut cucumber dish, unique! Lobster miso ramen was so delicious and creative! Who has ever heard of that? So much I want to learn from this chef. Even the plain brown rice was perfectly prepared. You can taste the quality in the ingredients, probably local and organic. Service was perfect, just attentive enough without ever interrupting. Top 3 most memorable meals I’ve ever had. I get the sense the chef here could have Michelin stars if they wanted that, but have opted for a less stressful and pretentious operation. I’m so glad they chose this path. Truly fantastic experience. Had a wonderful date with my girlfriend!

This was our first time trying Japanese food, and it was such a pleasant surprise to find delicious vegan options available. My wife and I truly enjoyed the meal, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They guided us through the menu and helped us pick the best dishes. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place!

This place was amazing. One of the cutest places in Southern California. There was such a sweet ambience and mood. The vegan options were amazing and my non-vegan friends were happy with their orders as well. I wanted to write a review because the server we had was so amazing and helpful. Her name was Owaka (beautiful girl with black hair and glasses) and she was the loveliest soul ever. She was so attentive and helped us in everything. She even let my friends sing happy birthday to her eventhough the restaurant had closed. This birthday was really special because of her and the restaurant. The crunch ramen was my favorite thing ever as well. Thank you RICE

RICE is one of my top 20 in Los Angeles. It’s helpful if you have vegan/vegetarian guests joining as such options are delicious. In fact, I often order all vegan, it’s that good. And plenty of vegetables, plus gluten free options.
Except: be a little careful and doublecheck your final bill – we got home and realized we were double-charged for the lobster roll.
