    Stopped by during week day lunch. No wait, two tablets were available to order. There was already a table ready by the time I was done ordering on the tablet. It seemed like this place is known for soup as most of the diners were eating that. They have condiments which are self serve. Rice portion is huge! I ordered a meat dish which didn't come with a lot of meat and was fatty. Maybe I ordered the wrong item and should've ordered the soup instead.

    B4. Signature Beef Sirloin With Rice (Mild Spicy) E12. Mango Green Tea

    Easily one of my favorite Chinese places--we've been coming for three years now, ever since we've discovered the location. The signature beef sirloin and rice is braised in rich, beef infused oil. All the beef is extremely tender (in a good way). There is also some wood ear mushrooms that added some chewy texture, and does not taste too earthy/rubbery (what happens when not fully cooked). The dish is perfection. It was the first ever order from here, and remains my favorite. The rice was not too wet, and cooked throughly. A recurring issue with many Asian places is that when the rice is bulk cooked, it comes out uneven or too wet. Fortunately, this has never happened here. One thing to note is that the spiciness is downgraded by 1-2 levels. Mild spicy = no spicy. All the tables are well-spaced and extremely clean, despite the smaller, cozy setting. They were quick to deliver after ordering, and all the servers were extremely friendly and helpful! My brother forgot his jacket here and they chased us out, only to do so again when my friend's bag was also left. 3 entreès, one drink, and tip came out to be ~60$ with decent portions. We will definitely revisit in the coming years!!!

    What a gem of a restaurant! The lady at the counter was so helpful. The shop is small and cozy, especially on a cold day. The kimchi hot pot was great! Lots of flavor. The tomato beef was okay. It was very mild. I wish I lived closer.

    Stopped by Mr. Rice in Westwood today, 9/26/25 and had a great experience. The soup was delicious with really nice flavor, comforting and satisfying without being too heavy. What stood out just as much was the atmosphere; everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the meal even more enjoyable. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable right away. I ordered the beef hotpot and opted out for noodles instead of rice. My friend ordered the kimchi soup and she really enjoyed her meal as well. They have plenty of tables inside for dine in. Ordering was a breeze on the tablet right at the front. What we really appreciated was the price point and generous portions. Definitely planning to come back and try more of the menu!

    A5. Kimchi Beef Mixian (Mild Spicy)
    Isaac L.

    This was a nice meal on a rainy day. Mr Rice is pretty consistent. I find myself returning here from time to time and it's always been solid. I got the kimchi mixian which was tasty (8/10). Good portion size, sour, and a variety of veggies and other ingredients. They also have two types of kimchi that you can get (self serve) which is nice. In the past, I've had other mixians, and a beef rice dish, and they were all similar in quality. The service is great. The place is clean, and it's a comforting spot. I definitely recommend trying it if you're nearby.

    For parking, park in the Broxton Avenue public parking for free for 2 hours. Boyfriend took me to this place and ordered us the double chili fatty beef mixian. Pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It had somewhat of a szechuan taste due to the chili but not too overpowering, and the noodles and beef paired well with the broth. Free self-served kimchi and radish. Would go back again when I have the chance!

    This is great for westwood! When I miss my mom's cooking, i'd definitely come here. The service is really good and they help you with even the self service bar. I recommend the soup I got but the noodles are just a tad too mushy. Also really generous with the meat that I couldn't finish it and I like how fatty it is.

    I really enjoyed the rice noodles--they're slippery with a nice bite, though they don't soak up much of the soup, so you'll need a spoon to get the full flavor with each bite. The broth itself is flavorful and well-balanced, with tomatoes adding a nice brightness to it. There's a good amount of ingredients to round out the dish. I especially liked the light-colored sauce they offer, which I believe is Szechuan pepper oil. It pairs perfectly with the hot soup, especially if you're into that tingly sensation. The service was fast, and the place has a cozy vibe.

    I'm always in this area because I'm part of a dance team at UCLA but got tired of the typical places like chipotle, cava, and gogobop so I came in here with a few friends one day when we had a bit more time to sit down and eat. It's a pretty simple place, you go in and place your order on the kiosk, find a table, and then they bring your food out to you. There's lots of seating as it seems people like to usually do takeout here, and the food came out pretty quick. Everything is self-serve in terms of utensils and water. They have a pretty limited menu but everything is perfected and tastes really good. I tried the kimchi beef noodle soup and my friends got the tomato beef, all of them really rich and flavorful, plenty of protein and veggies, and the beef was really tender.

    Tasty Yunnan noodles in Westwood! Yunnan noodles are kinda hard to come by in the US so this is a nice spot to have in LA. You first order through a kiosk and then sit down at the table. Water, utensils, and side dishes are self serve. They offer some condiments like chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce on each table. Service is very basic as they only bring you your bowl. Ambience could probably do with some background music. Now the food is really good. Noodles are very authentic and the broth is really great. I got the Double Chili Beef Noodles but I didn't really think it was that spicy. Prices are relatively cheap for Westwood but I've seen cheaper for Yunnan Noodles elsewhere. Very solid spot for food!

    When you're jonesing for some rice noodles, Mr Rice is a very good place to get a fast bite of noodles. The soups are not too salty and the food is comforting on cold and rainy days. The dry noodles are also quite delicious. The portions are good. The cold appetizers are also solid, Chinese style pig ears, seaweed, beancurd with some mala sauce. You order at the front, fast casual style if you will. The do wait on your table and provide utensils and water and the staff is super friendly.

Got their signature Yuzu Shio which was about $10 (normally $19.50!!), as well as their Afuri Roll which the server recommended ($23). The ramen rather had a small portion, but was balanced and pretty good - and the broth was definitely on the lighter tasting side, good for people who wants a cleaner taste. I ended up using chili oil on the side to spice things up. The Afuri Roll wasn't anything special, and a bit on the dry side but it had a nice variety of different fish inside. Overall, considering all the other competitive ramen joints in the area that have a more competitive price/portion/variety, I'm not sure if I'd give this place another go given the price. Great vibes though!

I actually became aware of the existence of this restaurant *because* they had a happy hour sign out in front, advertising, among other things, $4 salmon poke "tacos" (which was definitely actually a tostada, but still), and $3 nigori sake to go with it, which sounded pretty bomb - when I passed by the sign on my way to an event at Death & Co nearby, I took note of it but wasn't interested in food. However, when I left that event, an event I thought was going to provide a lot more food than it actually did, I absolutely *was* interested in food, and remembered that the sign advertised not only a traditional happy hour (open until 6 weekdays, 2:30-5:30 Saturday/Sunday), but also the same prices during a reverse happy hour (8 to close weekdays, 9 to close on the weekend). Given it was, at that moment, just after 8 on a Wednesday, I knew exactly where I was going to get the second half of my dinner from. Funny enough, I will say, the salmon poke that drew me in, was just... good. Don't get me wrong, if I were offered them for free, I'd eat at *least* a dozen. They were quite tasty - also like 2 bites worth of food (so eating a dozen of them would not be remotely difficult to do.) Salmon poke is wonderful, but if I wanted poke, I'd go find a poke place - even $4 felt a bit pricey for the size (they're $6 when it isn't happy hour), so I'm glad I decided to also try their karaage. Their karaage is BOMB - some of the best I've had, honestly. $7 for a 4-piece order of their karaage, by contrast, feels like a very reasonable price, and $5 (during happy hour) an absolute steal. Great karaage, great sauce, super fulfilling. The happy hour on karaage would be enough of a draw by itself - but separate from that, so would the $3 happy hour on sake, including both a regular house cold sake and a nigori. As you can see from the picture, they also intentionally overpour their sake, which is not only a very pretty presentation, but also an impressive amount of sake for $3 (heck, for DTLA, a pretty impressive amount of sake even at their normal $5 price). They also have $6 happy hour shochu/sake/juice cocktails that looked pretty good, though I didn't try one. Service was great, too - sometimes you can tell a restaurant is less excited to serve someone who clearly just came in for a drink and a snack, but that was not my experience here. Verdict is, I definitely want to come back and try their ramen sometime, but I would definitely make sure to do it either before or after their prime dinner hour, to take advantage of happy hour pricing. (And I would definitely get more of that karaage as a side. I will probably also make a point to do so as a snack, subsequent to any future events I go to in the area that end around 8 on a weekday, as well, for as long as that happy hour remains such a draw, price-wise.)
