    vietnamese coffee
    Pauli M.

    This is a new spot with amazing and unique food. There is lots of parking and it is very clean inside. I went Saturday and Sunday morning. There was a good wait for 3 plates to come out on Sunday. Please acknowledge this before going and have patience. The workers are very kind. The vegetable omelet had these delicious meaty mushrooms. The ube waffles are a must have I brought them all the way back to Miami with me. My friend got the steak and eggs both times and was in love. I love the touch of the tomato, cucumber, and pickled carrots that are served with some dishes. To me the coffee was ok but others may enjoy it.

    Saw on Instagram that Rice and Shine just had their soft opening, so we decided to try it. It's in the building in front of Enson, right next to Zen Noodles (pretty sure they're related). The concept is really cool with Asian-inspired breakfast with Vietnamese, Filipino, Japanese, and Korean flavors. The menu honestly looked really good. It's a smaller space with about 10 tables. We went on a weekday morning, so it wasn't busy and we got seated right away. Service was quick and friendly. I ordered the Filipino silog with pork longanisa since I've never had it before. It came with two eggs, garlic fried rice, cucumber, tomato, and two sausage patties. The sausage was sweeter than I expected. The fried rice looked good but didn't have that strong garlic flavor and was a little dry. My brother got the Vietnamese steak and eggs because we haven't seen that on a menu in a while. It came with tenderloin, onions, eggs, tomatoes, pâté, and hoagie bread. The eggs were a bit burnt on the bottom, and the whole dish needed some kind of sauce. The bread was too soft and it would've been way better with a crusty baguette. He rated it a 3/5. I did like the idea and the menu a lot. I think they just need to fine-tune a few things since it's still soft opening. I'd probably go back and try something else.

    Okay, they have worked out any new opening quirks, and they are a top notch breakfast spot. I LOVE their Asian fusion concepts and their more traditional undertones. Service is always friendly. Nice quiet, unassuming environment. Working its way up to be on our regular brunch rotation!

    I want to give them a higher rating like a 3.5 or 3.75 but the star rating on here only does full stars. They have only been opened for a week so there is visible growing pain in the kitchen. I am sure the issues will be resolved as the kitchen gains their sea legs. The kitchen needs to learn how to properly poach an egg. The yolk in the Korean Benny was hard instead of runny, not jammy but hard which was a big disappointment to my friend as the running yolk adds to the dish. The bulgogi was good but the yolk not good. I had their Vietnamese Steak and Eggs with Garlic Fried Rice and would order it again. My friends tried my steak and thought it was delicious. My other friend got their Sweet Kahuna omelette with garlic fried rice and said he would order it again. We ordered Uber Mochi Waffle for the table and enjoyed it. We thought it would be better with real maple syrup rather than the Smuckers takeout syrup. We also ordered the Cloud Pancakes for the table which we all thought were just "meh". The biggest disappointment was the Vietnamese coffee which two of my friend ordered cause of how much I raved about Vietnamese coffee I've had at other restaurants. The coffee arrived before the food arrived. The phin dripped so slow that by the time we finished our meal, the coffee had not finished dripping. It remained at the same level as when they brought the coffee to our table 25 minutes earlier. We finally got tired of waiting and simply poured the coffee into the cup, grains and all, rather than wait any longer for it to go through the drip. Mixed in the condensed milk before pouring into the glass of ice. It was not a good introduction to Vietnamese coffee for my two friends who had never had Vietnamese coffee before today. I invited them to breakfast because I wanted to try Rice & Shine. Half way through our meal, I mentioned to one of the servers that the coffee was at the same level as when they brought it to us 15 mins ago . She said, it is a slow drip to get that strong flavor. Another server who took our payment asked how every thing was so we were honest and mentioned everything I mentioned in this review. We told her we understand they are new and working through things. I will be back, not sure if my two friends will but I will because we need a place like this in Gainesville that offers this kind of Asian fusion offerings. The wait staff was friendly and listened to our concerns. They are still getting familiar with the menu offerings along with the side offerings. I would give the wait staff 4 stars.

    Seoul Street Omelette with Congee (Rice Porridge)

    My friends and I tried this new place out for the first time. Our favorites: 1. The Spam was great! 2. The Bulgogi (eggs Benedict and omelette) 3. The Rice Porridge -All of the eggs were cooked nicely 4. Coco Mocha Chill (delicious!) The only thing we weren't a fan of was the five spice bacon. Thick cut, but not caramelized enough, mostly fatty and flimsy.

    Spam Masubi Benny

    2 stars due to the staff being nice. We were super excited to go after seeing all the TikTok's about the food, however, we were disappointed. I got the cloudy pancakes & cloudy or fluffy is not a word I would use to describe them. They were just doughy & thick pancakes. Also the dough itself tasted "lemon-y" which I am not a fan of. My bf got the Masubi eggs Benedict & it was flavorless which was surprising since it looked the opposite. We also got the Filipino Empanada, which the dough itself was so thick & it was raw on the inside. Overall very disappointing unfortunately.

    Ramen carbonara

    Ate here for the first time today and got the congee and the ramen carbonara. Congee had a great taste, toppings tasted fantastic, but unfortunately the congee itself was really salty. Since the toppings were also salty I wasn't able to finish it. Ramen carbonara was fantastic. Nice mild spice level to help cut the heaviness, and fantastic eggs/bacon. With such a mixed experience I'm not sure if I'll be returning soon (considering the ramen is $18) however I wish them the best as everything was great quality. Place was very clean and the staff were very welcoming/accommodating. Nice outside seating as well.

    Vietnamese coffee

    The food was plentiful, aesthetically pleasing and delicious! Molly was such a sweet waitress!

    Excellent food and service. Very loud interior; sound insulation would improve dining experience.

    I met up with some friends at the bestBet Food Truck Rally for dinner and snacks. No matter how…read morewell I plan beforehand what trucks I want to eat at the plan always falls through. So I went to plan B: When at a food truck rally, all ways look for the trucks with the longest lines. There were a couple that were long but Manila seemed unusually long. A quick browsing of the menu made me realize why. Lumpia, Pork and Chicken Skewers, Pancit, no wonder. Not only did it sound good it smelled wonderful. We made our way to the back of the line. Wait wasn't painfully long as some folks ahead of us gave up and walked off. Patience is a virtue that will be rewarded. The guy taking orders at one point told us in line that they had to stop taking orders for 10 mins just so they could catch up on the orders already placed. Wow. By the time we got to the stand they had ran out of Adobo (pork stew) and the Lumpia entrees. Luckily we could still have lumpia as a side item which meant we couldn't get 7 but instead 3. Cool. I ordered the Liempo (grilled pork belly) Combo with garlic rice and lumpia. It took less than 5 mins before it got to my hands so they were cranking out some food. OMG everything was delish. The liempo was grilled to perfection. Usually anything grilled needs some kinda sauce over it. This needed none of that. If I could I would just order a platter of liempo and pop them in my mouth like popcorn, very tender and juicy. The lumpia was freshly out the fryer and was hot when bitten into, very good. The garlic was a nice compliment to the liempo. I was expecting it to be real garlicky but it was subtle and pleasant. I definitely enjoyed everything and will be returning to this truck in the future.

    Great food! We shall return! Ordered lumpia, pancit and chicken! Yum! Great and fast and friendly…read moreservice also!
