Every item that had a fried component was bitter. The oil they’re frying the portobellos mushrooms, spider crab, and lobster with, is old. And awful portion sizes. I will not be returning.

Gluten free Celiac japanese food is extremely hard to find. But there are like 5 dedicated gluten free Japanese restaurants in the LA region, and RICE is a gem of a find in Manhattan Beach. The staff are so friendly and kind, and the food is phenomenal (even if you dont have a gluten allergy). Gluten free battered fried shrimp, soft shell crab, and chewy ramen noodles - so packed with flavor and texture. This is a new favorite restaurant. Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Tasty food and nice service. On a nice quiet side street of Manhattan Beach. A little spendy, but typical for Japanese food. Everything is gluten free!

Overall, 3.5 rounded up.We came for an early dinner on a Friday night. They have a cute outdoor seating area downstairs in the back courtyard and a decent amount of indoor dining as well.Service was attentive and pleasant.I dont have much to comment on the rolls.The crispy rice sampler was very interesting. If youve never had it before, I think its something that you just have to get used to.The texture of the rice and the mush of raw meat on top wasnt my favorite.However !!!!This salmon collar is the juiciest, fattest, and tastiest collar I have ever had. I am craving it as I type this. I could probably eat 3 of them by myself because its that good.If Im ever in the area, I want to try this place again to try the salmon collar haha

Rice is the BEST! We love coming and it feels like our own neighborhood restaurant. The VEGAN rolls are truly artisanal and incredibly delicious. Each bite is pure perfection. My favorite is the Green Garden Roll and the Yellow Submarine Roll. Don’t miss their corn potage soup and they have top quality seafood for your non vegan friends 🍣 🍱

Its was a pleasant surprise to eat GF Japanese food. Everything was delicious and well season. I really recommend this place. They have some specials for lunch.

I ate here for lunch. Super cute outdoor seating in a hidden courtyard. They offer a 4 course lunch special and its worth the $25!! Everything was so fresh and delicious. The amount of fish is generous. I wasnt sure I would like the brown rice with my sushi but I did! It adds a slightly nutty flavor and contributed to the tastiness of the roll!! Only downside was no low sodium soy sauce. What they offer was way too salty for me!!

A little pricey, but I understand why. The quality of the food and effort is put into every detail. For example, a fresh strawberry carved into a rose with dessert. Food is amazing. So vegan friendly!!

7 of us went on Thurs eve & had a fantastic time! Delicious vegan sushi and lots of wonderful vegetable choices - such a treat! Servers were wonderful and ambience was lovely! We loved the Green Garden & Yellow Submarine rolls, crispy rice garlic sweet potato, portobello mushrooms- several cocktails were also great, especially the Cucumber Cooler. Definitely will go back 🤓

Delicious vegetarian/vegan options. Came for lunch with a friend and we were both delighted with our food. Had mushroom ramen, Garden roll and the spicy cauliflower roll. Every one was delicious and had so many different flavors. The portions were generous, lots of mushrooms in the ramen. The space is small, simple and clean.I highly recommend RICE!

Food is different from traditional Japanese food. Ramen and the roll came out really late. Food was 3 out of 5..

The food here is fresh and delicious! The soft shell crab had a really tasty sauce and was crisp too. The scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned perfectly. The home made lemonade was delicious and not too sweet. The only reason I wouldnt rate this at five stars is the portions were tiny (compared to the price). Everything I ordered was good though. Order rice or side items to ensure that youre getting a full meal.

Great service and atmosphere. The spicy tuna crispy rice was very good. The miso was bland. The lobster ramen had a lot of fat and was greasy. The people were great and it was quiet and clean!

Delightful and delicious Japanese food with an extra healthy twist: vegan options and brown rice for the sushi.Their ramen is the best I’ve had outside of Japan.Mushroom and spinach salad was delicious.Spicy tuna on crispy rice is better than most places.Have been to #Rice multiple times. It is one of my fav places in Manhattan Beach.

Wasnt planning on having lunch here but we had a pleasant experience nonetheless. Plenty of sushi options and a variety of sake, beer and wine to choose from. Fish was fresh and our server was very kind and accommodating. If you like sushi and youre in the neighborhood, its definitely worth a shot.

This is a must go every time I am back in Los Angeles, particularly for this little celiac who misses Ramen. Their crispy rice is pretty good, rolls are good as well, but I would say I am typically here for the California Ramen, particularly because their noodles are oh-so-chewy and taste just like the Ramen noodles I miss before becoming gluten-free. I really wish that they would add tonkatsu Ramen though, as candidly miso is probably my least favorite of all the broth but hey, as celiac I will simply appreciate the fact that this is even available - thank you for existing and being delicious! And while I got takeout this time, it was good to see that they now have outdoor seating as well!

Overpriced for what you get. I ordered a bowl of corn soup ($6) and Yellow Submarine rolls ($18) and was underwhelmed by how small the bowl and portion was for the corn soup. And $18 for 8 pieces of sushi rolls? You can get the same number of rolls at Tama Sushi in Huntington Beach for less than that ($11-15). I was in the area so I decided to check it out but ended up underwhelmed.

We can here to try vegetarian sushi after ready good reviews and seeing interesting pictures. This place has good customer service. The food was not as good. Sushi dishes were expensive considering that it’s all just veggies. Most, if not all items, on veggie sushi were fried. Kale on one of the dishes was soaked in oil. There are definitely better vegetarian sushi out there.

Nice place to hang out and try vegan sushi. They have pretty good options on vegan sushi and all of them are yummy. A nice sea view if you are dine out infront of restaurant. Service and staff are good. We hang out at evening so not much rush.

Honestly one of the best sushi places I’ve eaten at in a while. Kind of a hole in the wall! Really fresh fish and delicious rolls. Crispy rice was a perfect amount of crispy on the outside and soft of the inside. DRAGON roll is THE best roll I’ve ever tasted in my my life. Highly recommend :)

Love all of the veggie options (that also happen to be vegan!). Vegan sushi rolls were delicious. Only knocking it down a star because the outside patio is lacking a little ambiance. But service was great and fast.

My wife and I ate here on a Monday evening in August. It was not crowded and our reservation allowed us to sit in the outdoor patio area. We parked in public parking, with the credit card meters charging $3 for 90 min.My wife ordered the Yellow Brick road, which is eight pieces of rice + crispy tofu on top of a ponzu sauce and surrounded by crisped kale. She loved it so much that she ordered another and I split it with her. The tofu was pleasantly warm and the kale lightly crunched in my mouth before melting deliciously into nothing.I had started with a serving each of: yellowtail sushi, salmon sushi, and toro sushi. The quality of the fish was excellent, but the portions seemed smaller than what I am used to in the SF Bay Area.Their homemade ginger ale is excellent; the ginger flavor is not too overpowering.We finished up by splitting a lemon blueberry pie. It was also smaller than we had expected, but was very good and the strawberries and syrup on the side were an excellent accompaniment. Total for this meal was $88 before tip.

We absolutely love this place-it’s a go-to in South Bay Area. The service is great - orders come out relatively quickly and hot, wait staff always attentive with new orders, water, etc. And they are very accommodating- we’ve come through close to closing time a couple times and they’re never over-aggressive as some restaurants might be, never kick us out. Ambiance is on point also - perfect for a date night. And the food is awesome, really great sushi with inventive kinds of options on the menu. Our favorites are the lobster roll, shrimp tempura and crispy rice. Would highly recommend!

Im not a healthy person. My friend is and Im all about good quality and fresh. I like the teas and tea pots. Tofu agedashi had too much mushroom sauce and normally its a ponzu sauce. Brussels sprouts were good. Yellowtail collar was fatty and excellent. Cute spot. Interesting experience. Didnt want brown rice in my sushi so ordered salmon special sashimi which wasnt so special.

I visited this cozy spot on a quiet Tuesday night and was blown away by the creativity and execution. I love uni, so to be able to get a little box of fresh uni from Santa Barbara was a treat. They have these crispy rice things where they fry nigiri shaped pieces of sushi rice so it takes on an almost arancini texture, then top it with fish. I got the dynamite cod version and was impressed. Their rolls are creative too. I got a sunset dream roll, which has wonderful bluefin tuna wrapped around a cucumber, avocado, and shiso roll. They top it with fried kale for a crunchy twist. The execution was great, except I wish the kale wasnt quite so oily. Still recommend it though. Overall, I think Ive found my new favorite Manhattan Beach sushi spot.

Vegan and Fish options made choosing this place easy as it’s often hard to take groups out to sushi who don’t eat meat. The menu was clearly labeled and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating

Review №32

2023-04-29 19:28:13

Lovely spot, mellow atmosphere. Honestly, in my opinion, the only sushi spot worth going in Manhattan beach. Though the menu is a little more unique than more standard sushi spots, the rest of Manhattan beach sushi is, unsurprisingly, way overpriced and only decent or reasonable quality. The atmosphere is mellow, with instrumental jazz covers of pop music and dim lighting. The location puts it in short walk of the beach with a view of the waves visible on some of the outdoor seats.

This place is a dream for a girl from Hawaii with celiac disease -- 100% gluten free! All I had this visit was several different crispy rice sushi. All so good, and my non-GF friend was impressed also.2nd visit: had the vegan crispy ramen. Was doubtful of vegan ramen (as I love pork in my ramen), but this is so savory and satisfying. Wow. Also pleased to find GF beer again!

The prices keep me from coming as often as I would like to this delicious establishment. As someone with celiac, the entirely gluten-free menu is a giant plus but I would love it even if I were less reliant on celiac-safe restaurants.Always get the Brussels sprouts when I visit. The Green Garden sushi roll is my favorite and the Matcha Mojito is delicious, too. Can’t think of a place I’ve been to that plays around with different flavors so much; as a place with all gluten-free and many vegan options, it’s cool to see how they create their own flavors rather than trying to imitate the same old traditional foods

This is all during COVID, so I assume they normally dont do this poorly, but I felt the need to share given how much we paid for our food. My husband ordered food and they said it would be ready in 45 minutes. Fast-forward 90 minutes of waiting for the food. They didnt even get the order right. My husband had to go back in and get our last roll that they forgot. When they finally made it, it wasnt correct. Since Im allergic to wheat, I have to order sushi with real crab. I got California rolls with real crab. Below is a picture of one of the rolls. Can you see the crab? I wish they had just told me they didnt have enough rather than make a roll with the smallest amount of crab Ive ever seen. What a bummer of an experience.Oh and also, the roll below was $10... Because of the real crab. Not worth it at all.

First time at a sushi restaurant that was 100% gluten free, and it was an incredible experience! Great flavor, vast amount of choices, and service was fast and super attentive. We got a lot of options to try, all of it was great, but my favorites: crispy spicy salmon rolls & fried mushrooms. Simple but delicious!! Will be back :)

This place was excellent. Im not the biggest fan of ramen or sushi, but we wanted to take my brother and sister-in-law someplace while they were visiting southern California. We randomly picked this place. I believe I got the crunchy tofu miso ramen and the Rising Sun roll. Im boring and usually just get a California roll. The Rising Sun roll was delicious. The ramen was delicious. And our waiter was extremely kind and very friendly. I will definitely be checking this place out again.

Appreciated all the vegan/vegetarian & gluten free options, but the food wasn’t great for the price. The garlic broccoli had no flavor, the edamame was unsalted and the ramen didn’t have much flavor really either. The mochi ice cream was good though! Really nice server!

$100.00 vegan take out order…we won’t go again. Edible, o.k., so-so to my husband, not so much to me. I ate the fried mushrooms, asparagus, 1/2 the deep fried rice (flavourless).Even the tiny piece of cake for $11.00 wasn’t good but I ate it. Back to Thai food.

There are a lot of parking with meter. It is walkable from the beach as well. The place looks clean and fancy. Tamari (the gluten free soy sauce is their default sauce on the table). For me its too pricey for very thing. I went with my husband and we ordered 3 things: 2 rolls and ramen, and cost us almost $70. The roll is very small. I came home hungry after I just ate. However, the food is good, the fish is fresh, the service is good. There roll made with brown rice. A lot of options for ppl who are gluten free and vegan.

5 stars. 6 stars if I could give it. Heres why:1) Great location: Its right in downtown Manhattan Beach close to the Pacific Ocean, Manhattan Beach Pier, and sand volleyball courts.2) Amazing food: They use all natural ingredients and you can tell! Every dish you get tastes fresh and amazing. We ordered two sushi rolls- one with tuna and the other with salmon. I am not a fan of uncooked fish, but this converted me. The flavors were on point and it melted in my mouth. The unsweetened green tea is so good and its free refills!3) Friendly staff: We didnt have a reservation, but the staff let us in for an hour and were so friendly. They even brought a basket for my friends purse. Amazing!

So. Delicious. My husband and I generally eat plant based, but he also loves his sushi! Usually sushi night means I get some ehh tofu dish, but not here. I grabbed myself a crispy dynamite roll 😍😍😍 couldnt get over it. And then that sweet potato crispy rice...it was heaven. We sampled 6 or 7 dishes and definitely couldnt pick a favorite. Also love how they set up the cute little outdoor cove to accommodate the new outdoor dining requirements. Definitely going back!

No flavor. My husband and I were super excited to try RICE after seeing reviews and pictures. The restaurant was so nice to accommodate us and our baby in a stroller in the outside dining area. However, everything we got was really underwhelming: 1) crispy rice sampler (sampler was the best of what we got and the rice was good but fish flavor was lacking), 2) Dragon roll (no real distinct taste; toro didnt pop), 3) Rising Sun roll (not special), 4) 1 order salmon sushi (it was so so small for $9), 5) Hokkaido scallops (just ok...), and 6) truffle potato (just ok; theyre potato chips with truffle flavor and a sauce).We didnt order the mushroom fries but they brought it out and we thought it was the truffle potato; since its coated in batter, we couldnt tell what it was. We ate one stick per person and said something to them, so they went and got the Truffle Potato. However*****, they still charged us for the mushroom fries that we did not order. They werent even that good (again, lack of flavor).It was around this time, the service started to fall apart because the patio was full.With 2 beers for my husband, all that food came out to $137 and both of us felt like we ate half a meal, because truly, the items were so small. We stopped by a random taco place and got a second meal.Super disappointed. We wanted to like this spot. Way too expensive for leaving that hungry.

Just wow! Tucked in a side street just off of Manhattan beach Blvd, this quaint authentic Japanese restaurant offers delicious fare vegans and non vegans. They have gluten free brown rice noodles! They dishes are well presented, delectable and priced well. The staff is friendly, warm and really show they appreciate your business. The ambience was perfect, lighting, music and design are perfect in my book. Give this place a shot, you wont regret it. 👌

For all you gluten free gangstas out there that get upset stomachs with gluten, this is the place for you. My doctor recently diagnosed me with an allergy to gluten. This broke my heart since the majority of the foods I love have gluten in them. I thought I’d have to give up all my favorites. Enter RICE. RICE has an amazing menu item that is all gluten free along with many other allergenic dishes. It’s a bit on the pricey side but you are getting quality ingredients and fresh wholesome food. It is possible to live gluten free and eat delicious food. Highly recommend you make recommendations since the restaurant is very small. Get you some sweet potato fries and fried rice sushi!

Amazing sushi especially for those with allergies. The entire menu is gluten, dairy & egg free with plenty of vegan options. The staff is attentive and happy to answer questions. RICE is a wonderful location for everything from date night to a family dinner. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi with a great atmosphere.

Meh...food was very bland, rainbow roll small & weak, crispy rice tuna tastelessWe went tonight. I was hopeful based on the reviews. The space is nice, servers are good. However the food was really weak and seemed way too safe. From all 4 people we found the food very bland. Someone at the table said it best, the kitchen is looking at a picture of what things are supposed to look like, yet they are not adding taste. Like the chef is not there. The took the crunchy tuna off the bill after we sent it back. For spending $200 on dinner I expect a lot better on the food. Again the staff are good. The kitchen needs tune-up. Also some of their rolls are very small.

100% gluten free and even safe for those with Celiac Disease! You’d never even know it’s gluten free! None of those weird gluten free textures or favors that nobody likes. Great sushi and service in an intimate setting for a relaxing evening.

Excellent, freshly prepared food. Worth the wait. They ask for reservation but they squeezed us in even tho we didnt have one. I had mushroom ramen with several different types of mushrooms served with crispy kale and green onion slices. For appetizers we had sauteed brussel sprouts, edamame, and vegetable tempura. Delicious! Their lemonade is fresh squeezed served with an eco friendly wooden straw. They gave my granddaughter kiddie chopsticks. They had a rubber piece in the middle to help use them. I had a refreshing Asahi Japanese draft beer. Service was excellent. They checked on us frequently to make sure we didnt need anything. Parking was a crunch because its by the beach and All the parking meters are limited to 24 mins! I didnt understand that. What can you do in 24 mins? We managed to find a public parking lot nearby that allowed us to park for 2 hrs. We went at night so I couldnt see the beautiful view of the beach. This place is on top of a hill, literally 1 block from the ocean. Over all, I highly recommend this place for good food and ambience. It was awesome. My family and I really enjoyed it.

It seems every sushi place has the same rolls and food. Hard to tell them apart. Not here. Rice Sushi has food with very unique flavors and amazing vegetable dishes. I love the brussel sprouts.

Pretty pricey place, but youre basically paying for the presentation and location. Tons of vegan/vegetarian options but the sushi and ramen were all just lacking... flavor... again the presentation was spot on but the taste of the dishes suffered as a result. Very small inside, so if theres a large loud party next to you, good luck having a conversation.

Asian Gluten Free food....oh yeah I was super stoked to check this out. Health-oriented restaurant; about half the menu is vegetarian, while the rest offers seafood both sushi-style and cooked. No beef, pork, or chicken are served here The rolls are creative and as far as the vegetarian options the Portabello Mushroom and the Sautéed Brussels Sprouts were amazing. The eggplant was exceptional as well. Really yummy food and great service and the waitress was so very helpful as well; It isnt budget dining and parking is a challenge in the neighborhood, but it made for a great evening out.

Great sushi place. I love fish, my girlfriend is vegan, and we both can have a great meal here.You must try the vegan sushi, the spicy one with the quinoa is absolutely delicious.Prices are good, very nice location. Plenty of street parking right around the corner.

Sashimi boat was very expensive for the small amount of sashimi it contained. Quality and freshness of sashimi was just ok (I’m likely spoiled due to how good the sashimi is in my hometown). Ramen was ok.

I love Rice Manhattan Beach! The food and service is outstanding. Ive tried almost every vegan item over the years, and am always impressed. My favorite is the Yellow Brick Road.

The only restaurant in all LA I would give 5 star PLUS! TOTally unique healthy Japanese menu reminiscent of old macrobiotic restaurants. Absolutely amazing.

If your into health food and like brown rice...it is probably good. However, if you love sushi and the delicate flavors of the raw fish, then I felt the brown rice took away all that side of the dish. I guess I just prefer white rice in my sushi.

Our first day back in California and we couldn’t have had a more perfect meal. Best vegan sushi and ramen I’ve ever had. Phenomenal!

Service and everything else was great. Insultingly small portions on vegan items....5¢ worth of rice, onions & tofu being sold for ~$15. Keeping in mind this is a nice sushi place on the beach in LA and all...its still ridiculously too small of portions for whats offered.

We were party of 9. Since it was a fixed (20%) tip they weren’t care about service. It took 1h and 20 minutes to bring our dishes. Would never go again. Waste of money and time.

My mother has Celiac disease and as a result dining out can be a bit of a challenge to find somewhere to eat with peace of mind of not getting Glutened. RICE is always consistently delicious and the staff are always sweet and willing to patiently answer any and all questions regarding dietary needs. Even though they do take walk ins, I highly recommend making a reservation because this place is usually pretty booked up.

Okay, so I came here (not really interested in the main dishes on the menu) but hungry. I like sushi so I decided I would have their salmon and albacore sushi. YES, sushi is expensive for how little you get. I would say not to come here if you are not willing to drop $8 on two pieces if fish with rice because that is the best thing on their menu in my opinion. That being said, PLEASE come here and bring your money. Their sushi is sooooo good. It is the perfect size, texture, flavor, just WHATEVER. I have never had sushi in Japan so I cannot speak to how it compares; however, this is not even comparable to any of the sushi that I’ve had in the states. It would practically be an insult to compare them.

The service at this place was great. They checked up on us and kept our water filled. The food has limited choices and the prices are higher but the taste is good. This place is bad for big groups because the size of the place is tiny. I think the hand rolls were the best.

While I have to give this place props for being 100% gluten free there were only two options beyond spicy and beyond bland. Whatever you do, dont think the lemonade is actually lemonade!!! Its some sort of Kambucha or something. The ramen was fairly good. But thats the only thing Id actually recommend.

Amazing! Worked so well with my gluten free and dairy free allergies and got to enjoy tempura, crispy rice, proper crab in California rolls and I wish I had more space to even check out their ramen!

One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Everything except maybe 1 ramen dish is gluten free (dont worry, they also have GF ramen!). Tons of vegan choices as well. House made ginger ale is delicious. Also love the veggie tempura, shishitos, and so many of the vegan sushi rolls. The quiet music is AMAZING--lounge-y covers of American pop songs. The first time I went, we complimented the music we were given mix cds with beautiful origami taped to the cd case. The people who work here are so kind. Good lunch specials on appetizers last time I went. Many dishes for $6. Great location near the beach and usually parking on the street up the road or in a public lot. So many reasons to go!!!

Overpriced for what you get. Pay close attention to this: No delivery fee Addl fees may apply...well I paid attention to no delivery fee but unfortunately the additional fees add up to around $15. We got 2 rolls and some very lousy tasting ramen and paid $75.00. It was laughable. Lesson learned.

So decided to order Ramen on Postmates, the ramen noodles don’t look appetizing and also the toppings took up 3/4 of the majority of the bowl. The ramen had no flavor the broth was too strong...hopefully the sushi tastes better. AND also there was a orange rubber band in my soup.

Fantastic selection of VEGAN DISHES!EVERYTHING ON THE MENUE IS GLUTIN FREE!And the food is SO DELICIOUS you would forget you are eating Vegan, Glutain free food.The sauses,the dressings, ballace of spices, mix of ingredients, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT in this little gem of a restaurant.On top of that their service is exceptional.10 out of 10 in every aspect! Go there and enjoy!P.S. pay attention to their operation hours. There are closed from 2:30 to 5:30. They are so good, I dont even consider that an inconvenient. I consider that having the crew rest so the next dish they serve would also be perfect.

Odd Ramen and odd broth. It had a an almost sweet flavor to it and it was not very good for me. Got it for my nephew. He has a good sense of flavours and he also disliked it after a few tastes of it. I add chili oil and red chili sauce to it but it was still not very good. Maybe someday I may try something else there- but not for a while.
