This was my first time visiting as my friend recommended it and we had such a great time, everything was so delicious. I loved the fact that they have free toppings, i’m definitely coming back again I just wish it was more affordable since it’s pretty overpriced it was $11.91 in total for mine including tax. It was a great experience and very delicious but I don’t know if I can just justify $12 for a cup of ice cream. Pls sponsor me lol..

We love Rice Culture! They have very unique flavors, unlimited toppings and you can see the workers freshly making the taiyaki. Every flavor we’ve tried has been very good! The workers are also very friendly and provide samples. The only con is that it is a little pricey – $11 for a soft serve + taiyaki

Nice variety of desserts. I highly recommend the raspberry moon hojicha. It has the all the traits of my favorite bobas in one drink – creamy, fruity, and a strong tea flavor.
The jar desserts are also good. They’re buy 3 get 1 so you can try a bunch of different types.
The taiyaki is not my style. It was quite “cake” like and sorta crumbly and I prefer taiyaki that’s thin and crispy/chewy.

I’m sure this place is good, but I decided to throw away my burnt stuffed waffles. I originally wanted to return my order and have them remake it, but then I saw ‘order #37’ waffles were burnt as well.
The guy behind the counter said because they have a lot of orders they have to turn up the heat on the pans.
Just letting y’all know.

I really enjoy coming to Rice Culture, their Taiyaki is always made fresh and the flavors are well-balanced. You can literally smell the Taiyaki as soon as you reach the block.
I’ve gotten their Halo-halo often and the topping are always a variety but still hits the spot. The Ube flan float is a little cup of flavor explosion. It’s so good! Overall highly recommend hitting up Rice Culture for some heavenly desserts!

I’ve been coming to Rice Culture with my boyfriend ever since it opened and have tried every flavor available, there’s always something on the menu that’s interesting. The flavors are real and not overwhelmingly sweet, you can tell that it’s a labor of love when they make all the ice cream flavors. As much as I love the ever-changing menu and the variety of options, I feel as though the taiyaki could be cooked a little longer since sometimes it can be a little doughy on the inside. Reading the reviews made me realize I wasn’t the only one who felt that way about the taiyaki. My hope is that Rice Culture continues to prosper and makes a few improvements over time, it’s definitely hard to manage a business but I believe in them!

Loved it. The staff was helpful for newbies to the place. Had never had flavors and flavor combinations like these. The stuffed sandwich, that is not the correct name, was delicious. Mine was stuffed with Nutella. Delicious! The soft ice cream flavors change weekly. High tech ordering. Will be back‼️

Rice Culture is a really fun spot for ice cream and desserts! Their menu is packed with interesting flavor combinations, whether you’re looking for a drink, ice cream, or pastry. We only tried the ice cream and drinks, but I’d definitely branch out and try a different dessert if I go back.

The place has a really friendly vibe, great for date night desserts. Halo-halo is fantastic according to my filipina friends, however I usually go for the taiyaki/bungeobbang. My go to is Pandan, but I think the coconut tends to soften the pandan flavor too much. Its also quite heavy but delicious so make sure you save room if you’re going after a meal!

This was a fun and yummy choice for an after dinner dessert spot! I had the panda(n) express and ube swirl with an ube filled taiyaki cone. You can get different toppings and I opted for toasted coconut with a pocky. It was so good and a fun change from an ordinary ice cream.
