Went to rice culture for a collab they did with dough market and I gotta admit the soft serve they have is some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are so unique, but really enjoyable. The ambience and vibe in there is very comforting and clean. definitely will be making us a go to spot. Their drinks are also really creative and tasty.

Rice Culture is one of those new-concept dessert spots that popped up after the fish waffle + ice cream craze became a sensation — and of course, we had to try it. If sweets are involved, I’m there.
For me, it was just okay. The presentation is fun, but I found the flavor combinations a little strange and not the best mix. I’m Asian and familiar with these flavors, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for my taste.
My daughter, on the other hand, loved it. That might be because she’s a huge fan of the concept itself and loves all things Japanese — so the playful, trendy vibe worked for her.
Overall, Rice Culture is worth trying if you’re curious about new dessert experiences and enjoy experimenting with flavors. It may not be everyone’s favorite, but it definitely has its fans.

I enjoyed the items I purchased at Rice Culture.
I got the buko pandan cup, the ube flan float cup, and a black widow Thai tea.
The person working was friendly, although there was very limited interaction due to ordering at an iPad.
My criticism is in the description of the items online and their order board versus what was offered on the order point. The black sesame Thai tea online said it was a Thai iced tea with black sesame cold foam, quite straightforward. The description on the order point included pumpkin pie sauce, oat milk, and cream cheese. All of which are excessive and confusing. I was able to make adjustments on the order point to not include the pumpkin, but cream cheese was apparently part of the foam. It was disappointing because sesame is a very subtle flavor and was easily overtaken by the cream cheese.
The buko pandan was splendid. I loved it.
The ube flan float had no Ube flavor, as it couldn’t shine through the graham cracker and dulce de leche. When I go back, I will get the ube rice pudding.

this dessert spot is so cute! it’s filipino inspired flavors, i love the ube pandan swirl! so unique. and their drinks are really good too, ube viet coffee and a hochija raspberry drink (first time trying hochija because i can never find a spot selling it, soo good!!)
they even do collabs with small businesses and did a collab with dough marker for ice cream doughnut sammies, soo good!

Right when you walk through the doors, the wonderful smell of waffles stuns you. They have a variety of lovely treats. I enjoyed the ube and Nutella taiyaki. I chose to wait and have them fresh- the only way!! My husband and I finished a lotus cloud latte- so sweet and yummie! Definitely recommend!

Nice dessert place and friendly servers. I not only like the vibe there but also the Taiyaki. The Red Bean is a must-try flavor and tastes good. Ube is my personal favorite flavor!

I used to enjoy visiting Rice Culture in Vienna, so I was very excited to see a new location open in Chantilly. The staff member working that day was kind and friendly, but since he was working alone, the atmosphere felt a little different from the attentive service I experienced in Vienna.
The desserts we ordered were delicious, but for a newly opened store, I expected a bit more cleanliness. The taiyaki was also pre-made, so it didn’t feel as fresh. Perhaps if I hadn’t had the Vienna experience to compare with, I wouldn’t have had such high expectations—but I couldn’t help but notice the difference.
I believe with more staff and a little extra attention, this location could really shine. I look forward to seeing Rice Culture grow in Chantilly and hope it becomes just as loved as the Vienna shop.

Finally a rice culture near us for a while. They used to be a little pop up shop in south riding and i would go there all the time.
First, the ambiance was nice, cutesy and great for a little dessert date spot after dinner. Serive is quick and fast and friendly as well. Plenty of parking spaces and the store was not too crowded when we got here. If you have not been here, there are kiosk to order so you don’t have to wait for the cashier. We love that. Now lets go to the food.
*The taiyaki was warmed still when it was given to us, The filling was overflowing which is great! Outside is crispy and inside was warm and sweet. Perfect dessert.
*Mini and Signature Swirl Soft serve : we got panda , ube, ube and coffee and everything was great. We love it. We added the cone to our swirl which is perfect to ease off the sweetness.
*Coffee and pandan drink: Not our favorite, we would not get this again as it is a bit bitter and not enough foam on top like the advertisement photo.
Overall, still love rice culture.
Next time we come back we will shoot for the flan dessert!

I had the original hot chocolate with homemade ube fluff and loved it. It is a nice hot drink to have especially during winters. I have not had such a hot chocolate before. It was different and tasted really good. It takes some for them to prepare the hot chocolate. The service is good. Staff are friendly.

I’ve been wanting to try this for months, if not years, and I finally made it down to Chantilly.
When you walk in you’re greeted with that bakery/pancake smell, it smelled good but when it came to quality, I was kind of disappointed. It tasted just fine but it was 100% undercooked. The one flavoring was good, the outside was crispy and sweet, but the inside was still raw/cakey. I did order one from the “hot box” so it wasn’t freshly made to order but I was the second customer of the day at 11:15am.
As for the matcha drink, the matcha itself was decent, but the strawberry syrup was thick and over powering, even after mixed. I know they said they make their syrups in house but it didn’t; tasted more artificial. I’m not sure if that’s due to the sweetness but I wouldn’t order it again.
