We've been wanting to try this location and we were not disappointed. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but we ordered the: Plain onigiri California onigiri Salmon yuzu miso onigiri Spicy lobster shrimp onigiri Spam & egg Baked lobster shrimp onigiri 5 hand roll set (salmon, scallop, baked lobster shrimp, yellowtail, spicy tuna, and salmon sashimi) All were so fresh and delicious - especially the onigiri. You won't find fresher onigiri in LA. We love Rice & Nori! read more

Brian the manager is exceptional! He is very customer service oriented and engaging! The food is exceptional as well. Let me also give a shout out to the staff. They were very friendly and helpful! Thank you Rice and Nori for a fantastic experience! read more

This is a seamless way to pick up lunch, snack, or dinner. The menu offers a fantastic variety, and the quality of every rice ball was impressive. Service was prompt and courteous. There are also Japanese snacks to choose from. The space is clean and there are tables for dining in. There is parking within the plaza area. read more

Really tasty onigiri, and very reasonably priced! My favorite is the spicy lobster shrimp and the beef, they never miss. Customer service is friendly and the location is perfect with tons of street parking. Weekly onigiri secured. read more

I've been to Rice & Nori sooo many times and honestly I've had way more good experiences than bad. On a good day their hand rolls are solid, especially for the price... like you really can't complain. They've definitely had some off days though. A couple times I had to throw a few hand rolls away because they tasted completely off (yellowtail, eel, toro). But like I said, I've had more good experiences than bad, so I'm staying positive. read more

Rice & Nori - Japanese Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

La Cañada Flintridge has many staple food options and I'm so glad to come across Rice & Nori! Perfect to go food for an Angeles Crest Highway cruise. I absolutely love onigiri and opted for the classic tuna mayo spicy ($4), california ($3.95) and the spicy lobster shrimp ($5.50). Nori was very fresh and the furikake had great flavor to compliment the rice! All fillings were perfectly satisfying and fresh. Great price point and quick service. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, helped me review the menu and offered their favorite options. Small cute clean shop that I will definitely be visiting several more times. They also sell plants from BOZU, which are adorably unique! I would consider buying one in the future. read more

If you're a fan of rice, this is the place. The onigiri is freshly made and delicious. They also have sashimi, various pickles, hand rolls, and more. All good. The service is attentive and the ambiance is very casual. And the presentations are beautiful given the casual nature of Rice & Nori. Five stars. read more

Rice & Nori - Spicy Tuna and Shittake Kombu oniguri - Japanese Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

Service was actually very cordial. But the flavor was just terrible. Rice felt stale. I REALLY wanted to like this place. Also feel there are not enough good vegetarian options for me which was also a let down. read more

Solid place for onigiri and handrolls in the area. We came here as a pit stop for lunch after a short hike. Service was friendly and there's seating both indoors and outdoors. Restroom was clean too. As for food, I ordered the 3 piece handroll set, which was the right amount of food for me personally. Fish was fresh although sashimi slices are on the smaller end. I think I would recommend this over the onigiri in terms of rice to fish ratio portion. My boyfriend likes the onigiri but in general our group felt like it was a lot of rice and a huge portion, so ordering around 2 is probably the sweet filling spot for most people. read more

Rice & Nori - miso salmon yuzu onigiri - Japanese Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

A new and great quality restaurant in La Canada Flintridge. Rice & Nori just opened up. A small place with great food and excellent service. The five hand roll set with edamame and sashimi is a great deal. The blue crab roll was mouthwatering, Negi Toro roll was delicious, Lobster and Shrimp prepared to perfection, Yellowtail sashimi was fresh and very tasty. Also Onigiri ikura and salmon yuzu were flavorful. We really liked this place and we will be back. read more

I finally decided to try this place and had a great experience. The cashier was very helpful and took the time to explain the menu and recommend a few items. I'm really glad I followed his suggestions. My favorites were the spicy lobster and shrimp onigiri and the blue crab hand roll, both were delicious and practically melted in my mouth. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and will definitely be coming back. read more

I first tried Rice & Nori in downtown LA. I'm so glad that they have another location here in La Canada. Anyway, I ordered a couple of hand rolls and onigiri. They are all so fresh, so fluffy, and so flavorful. I love going to this place and will visit more often. read more

Let me start by saying the food here is excellent, eat there at least once a week. However, restaurants should be accountable. I did what I always do and preordered and sometimes I have to wait a few mins, no big deal. Today, no one would even speak or look at me when I went to the pickup counter, I waited 5 mins before I had to ask someone, and he said my order wasnt ready. Stood there a further 20 mins and again approached the counter and the 2-3 girls working there would just look away, until I had to say loudly hey is my order ready, and the bag was just sitting there, I'm not sure for how long. I only started wondering because many people were getting their orders and I was still stood there. Your staff need an attitude adjustment. I know it gets busy at lunch but this was beyond infuriating. read more

Love this local spot in La Canada, I always go here after shopping at TJ Maxx to finish off a small spree. I recommend the Salmon Handroll, Chicken Teriyaki Onigiri, and all of their Sashimis. The workers are very patient & helpful when taking orders. There are plently of spots to sit and you can even sit outside. Would reccomend!! read more

Rice & Nori - Tuna & Yellowtail Sashimi, Chicken Teriyaki Onigiri - Japanese Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

First time here! I got 2 hand rolls and it was $12. The fish was fresh and the salmon was my favorite. If you want to be full- get the onigiri. They have Japanese snacks for sale like Pockys, HiChew candy and Japanese chips. Parking is good, even at dinner time, service was friendly and quick. read more

I want to provide honest reviews. In general I would give this place a 3 star but this area lacks a lot of diversity and places like these (cept sushi restaurants) so I'd say about 4 for the fact that it's a place that provides decent onigiris. It wasn't bad! But I was just wary of the fish. Customer service wise they're young a bit slow but cannot blame them! Space is quaint but you can also tell it used to be owned by another business (almost gives like a Hawaiian vibe?) read more

I'm in love with the food here regarding how simple it is. Originally, I always want to try onigiri when I have a chance. But rice and nori make it closer and easier than ever. The food is very simple but keep you full for the whole day since it's rice ball with toppings. Pricing is also pretty good and make sense. I ordered and received my food in about 7'. It's pretty fast. If you ever have a chance to eat here, make sure to order Lychee Lemonade. It's refreshing and not too sour. The person who helps me order and give my my food also very polite and sweet. The shop also clean and organized. Easy to spots those snack and side dishes. Definitely become my regular spot. read more

This place is great and its value really comes when you consider its intersection at price, quality, and convenience. Parking can sometimes be an issue, but people are always filing in and out, so you never have to wait too long. The restaurant has ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, and the staff is very friendly, and the service is quick. There not necessarily going to be the best rolls you've ever had, but for something that's like 90% of the way there at these very reasonable prices, it's a tough combination to beat! read more

Great tasting musubis (pretty generous portion too)! Incredibly fast service and very friendly staff. I am excited to go back!

Great food & friendly service! Very similar to other locations. Spicy Tuna Hand Roll - 4.5/5 Yellowtail Green Onion Hand Roll - 4/5 Ship Salmon - 4/5 Salmon Yuzu Miso - 4.5/5 Edamame - 4/5 read more

My family are regulars here. Never had to wait long and never disliked a meal. Good riceballs, fresh fish, good service.

Very solid casual snack spot!! My friend and I came here after a day of studying and we both got some onigiri and hand rolls. Everything was great and so filling and I'd definitely come again! Parking is also very easy and free in the shopping plaza and the neighborhood is very nice read more

Quick fix for some spicy tuna- consistent quality. Not fancy, not amazing, but gets the job done and is always there for a reliable fix. High school kids run the place and they sometimes try to close early by turning off the phone and order online function, but aside from that, as long as you can get here at least 30 min before closing, it's a great choice! read more

Nice small place with honest offers. Love their Spam and eggs Misubi and their set (by 3 or 5 rolls). read more

Love that this spot just opened up in the neighborhood. Ate there two times this week,so good! Kids love it. It's a quick bite and super convenient to eat on the go. read more

The good is the place is clean and the food was great. However, the cashier the day I went, a Hispanic male adult wearing eyeglasses can be trained more to smile at customers and not to look disgruntled. It seems he wasn't happy with what he's doing. read more

Delicious and filling! Really great quality. Their snack section is reasonably priced and offer unique selections.

First time here and the food is actually pretty filling. It doesn't look like much but it's nothing to sneeze at. I got the scallop, tuna handroll and yellow tail. It was so yummy! read more

Food was good. Very popular with locals. Small eating area. I might try it again, but the value did not seem great for the prices.

Went to pick up food and had great quick service. The relative I brought food for really liked his 3 handroll set (crab, yellowtail and spicy tuna) including edamame and small yellowtail sashimi (this set is $19). Handrolls are very simple but filling. I liked my onigiri with miso eggplant, yuzu salmon and salt salmon. Each onigiri was $4 or less. read more

So glade that Rice & Nori opened a location here! They are still in soft opening so working things out but everything we tried were great, just like the other locations. The handrolls are simple and fresh, onigiri are flavorful! I can tell the quality of the fish is good, they don't need to add all the junk sauces . There are nice plants for sell there too read more

Rice & Nori is a brand new joint that opened in LCF. They specialize in onigiri (Japanese rice balls which vary in shape but are often triangular). I tried the Spam & Egg onigiri which is essentially a spam musubi (but with egg) - a beloved Hawaiian food staple of grilled spam and rice wrapped in nori (seaweed). I think if they add American cheese to the Spam & Egg onigiri, it would taste much better. I also tried the Salmon Yuzu Miso onigiri, which is their best seller. They give hearty portions of salmon which is good and it is also pretty tasty! Overall I would come back and try their other onigiri options read more

This was delicious! Only around 8 dollars and it came with a few pieces of sashimi, seaweed and even a sauce of some kind! I loved it. When I come back I'll definitely get it again. I love this place so much, and trying things like this is why I go every week! Also I love the setup of the place and the service is amazing they are so kind and really fast! read more
