Stopped by this spot after my lunch walk around the Capital park and was super ready to taste the food I ordered ahead. It was super convenient to go in and out while walking back to my office. Picked up the cream cheese wontons, teriyaki chicken purple rice roll, and a pineapple smoothies with mango popping boba. The service was very good, fast, and friendly, they had my food ready to go when I got there. The vibes are chill and they have some seating available. The food was amazing and smelled so good once I got back to my office. My coworkers came to check out what I was eating since the aroma of the food spread out and they could smell the teriyaki chicken. The cream cheese wontons were stuffed with cream cheese and came with the sweet and sour sauce. I used some of the sauce for my roll and it added an extra layer of flavor! Definitely recommend doing that if they give you the sauce. The roll is compact but it is stuffed with chicken and veggies, it's thiccck. The smoothie is really good as well. I got regular sweet level and the popping boba is delicious. I love pineapple smoothies so I was very excited that they have these here near where I work. Definitely coming back here with my coworker next week. They are curious to try it out. read more

Weekly lunch adventures usually involve me and my blood work making poor decisions together. I stopped by Rice Bites and grabbed two purple rice rolls to go: the Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll and the Grilled Cheese Sausage Purple Rice Roll. By the time I got home, both were still holding together well and tasted just as fresh as when they were packed. Quick Categories FOOD: Both rolls were delicious, but the Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll was the clear winner for me. Think katsu plate flavors wrapped into a portable rice roll. SERVICE: Friendly and efficient. It looked like there was only one person working when I visited, but orders were moving smoothly. AMBIANCE: Small, clean shop with a few seats available. Order from the kiosk or directly from the cashier. PARKING: Probably the biggest challenge. I found parking without much trouble, but it did require about a 3-minute walk. Here's What I Had Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll (5/5) This was my favorite of the two. Crispy pork, balanced flavors, and enough texture to keep every bite interesting. It reminded me of eating a katsu plate, just in a much more portable form. If it was my first visit again, this is the one I'd order. Grilled Cheese Sausage Purple Rice Roll (4/5) Still very good, just competing against a strong favorite. The sausage brought a nice savory flavor and the grilled cheese element made it feel like comfort food wrapped in purple rice. Pro Tip Keep the wrapper on and peel it back gradually as you eat. Trust the process. These rolls are packed generously, which is great for flavor but can become a rice avalanche if your technique gets too ambitious. Overall One thing I found interesting is that they also offer rice plates, which are essentially deconstructed versions of the rolls. After recently getting blood work back and being told I should probably ease up on the carbs, I may go that route next time, or simply order one roll instead of two. The purple rice concept makes Rice Bites stand out from the typical lunch options downtown, and it's easy to see why so many people talk about the texture and flavor combinations. Several other reviewers mentioned that the rolls can get messy, and after eating one, I completely understand what they mean. The flavor is worth it though. Final Thoughts If you're looking for something different from the usual sandwich, burger, or poke bowl lunch rotation, Rice Bites is worth trying. Just remember: keep the wrapper on, peel slowly, and eat with confidence. The roll can sense fear. read more

This Classic Purple Rice Roll came into my life like a carb-loaded superhero wrapped in seaweed. It looked innocent in the packaging, but inside was absolute mayhem. The purple rice was chewy and satisfying, the crispy dough brought the crunch, and the pickled radish plus cucumber kept everything from turning into a full-on sodium festival. Every bite tasted slightly different, like a lucky dip of deliciousness, and it had enough fillings to make a burrito jealous. I ordered it through a delivery app, so I can't really comment on the service or ambiance, but the packaging was neat, secure, and honestly kind of adorable. The roll arrived intact without turning into a rice avalanche in the bag, which already deserves respect. read more

Walked in on a Monday during lunchtime and the storefront was so cute. Everything was so purple and other than food they sold blind boxes too. I ordered the OG purple rice toll and it was $10~ , my food came out shortly after. The rice roll was super yummy, it had all types of different textures and flavors all in one roll. It was a little messy to eat towards the bottom, but I'm glad my server gave me a fork. If I'm ever in the area I would get it again! read more

This spot has such cute decor inside. Theres paid metered parking outside and I had to wait about 10 mins for my order. I got the Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll. The size seems a bit small but it was filling. I wish it was longer and skinner instead of short and wide bet it was very hard and unpleasant to eat. I was struggling taking the bites without making a mess on my face. The flavors were well balanced and good, there was a good amount of pork in it. read more

A very enlightening aesthetic. Immediate and considerate service. The items the wife and I ordered were a Taro Milk Tea with Aloe and a Mango Smoothie. I appreciated the transparency from the server that the location had run out of Boba thus they would not charge me for the Aloe I added to my drink as it served as a substitute. The drinks themselves were very rich and full of flavor and substance. My Taro Milk Tea was creamy and not too overpowering. The wife's Mango smoothie was a split of sweet and sour which as refreshing and something unique. What was also appreciated was how staff brought us our drinks where we were seated, another rarity that stood out and solidified their presence as a solid location. More people should come here. They deserve the spotlight. 5/5 read more

Rice Bites - Mango Smoothie and a Taro Milk Tea with Aloe - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Sacramento, California

If you love Asian fusion food and this is the spot which is kind of like a sushi burrito but with Taiwanese style and it's very comforting and I really do love it because they use purple rice. The purple rice actually helps with your blood sugar and doesn't rise up with sugar level and it does increase it but slowly. It is a healthier rice option which is the purple rice compared to regular rice. . For the Asian burrito I tried different variation where there was a teriyaki chicken stuff inside which is really good because the chicken is grilled and I do love the teriyaki sauce but it does get really wet and messy when you're eating it. Also the teriyaki sauce really makes the seaweed soggy on the outside so just a note and warning. . They also have another variation with Spam and I really do like that because it comes with pork floss and it's a little bit on the dryer version so I do like it less messy and the Very good textures. It also has egg inside and I really do love a soft scramble which is so good. . They also have your other snacks like popcorn chicken to cream cheese wontons as well they do have fresh fruit juice and boba drinks as well. They also have a teriyaki chicken plate with purple rice and a salad and some pickled cucumber which is really good and if you don't like a sushi Form they have it in a plate form which I really like. . They are located on a busy street and with limited parking but there is street parking where you can park. I always order it to go on doordash or just on their app and then just quickly Park and get off and pick up. . Overall it is a solid spot for a quick pickup and if you love trying new things this is a spot to go try. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day. read more

The vibe inside is cute and customer service is friendly but I think this place needs a quick overhaul because something is just not there yet. The drinks took way longer than they should to make and didn't taste quite as good. Kind of as expected for an average boba spot but the tea tasted very bitter. There are atleast a dozen better boba spots I could go to nearby. Would really want to try their food one day but can't justify stopping by with these prices and quality. Maybe in the near future if they have improved and are still here. read more

So we went to Rice bites on November 16th roughly around 4:00 p.m. on a Sunday. We were starving after doing a Pokemon go event and wanted to try out a new place in the Sacramento downtown area. Rice bites came up as a new and hot business and I told my friend let's try it out. We both are always on the lookout for new bubble tea spots and places that have snacks. When we entered we were greeted very warmly by the individual behind the cash register. She asked if it was our first time and we said yes. She continued by giving us recommendations on what is the most popular dish and she also Davis recommendation of which snacks to try out considering that we said we were both hungry. We ended up getting the following drinks: brown sugar boba and kumquat and lemon tea, and as snacks we got the classic purple roll and the popcorn chicken. As we waited for our order to be completed we sat in the cute little space next to the wall that had a tree on the side of it. Looking around and listening to the soft music in the background was really nice. The calm environment when it was a little rainy outside made it feel very comforting. We did both gush over the cute little purple plushie that was by the tree and definitely had a little photo shoot moment with it next to our drinks. The drinks themselves, my friend really liked his kumquat drink because he said the freshness of the lemons was really coming through and enhance the kumquat flavor. Not overly sweet and he really enjoyed again how fresh it was. For myself my brown sugar drink was perfectly balanced. I was really pleased that the boba had a little bit of a bite to it. Again that is preference for myself I'm a person that likes Al dente pasta so again my boba I like a little bit of a bite to it so that I can really chew on them. Hands down for us we really enjoyed the popcorn chicken. It was steaming hot, extremely flavorful, and the crunchiness of the breading was perfection. We would definitely go back and have that. The purple roll we really enjoyed the one thing is we definitely wanted to have some kind of sauce to either pour over it or a little bit of a spread inside of it it felt like it was missing a little bit of heat for both of our pallets. Again though my friend and I enjoy spicy so again if you don't want that and don't need it still an amazing snack to have. Would definitely go back to try the rest of the menu that they have. read more

Food was a N O. Received 3 different rice rolls and was shocked by the size and taste of it. The size was awkward to eat and not filling at all. The taste was NOT worth the money I paid for and I would never come back. The pictures online and in person look appetizing but the flavors were not it. I cannot describe what it was/what is missing. The popcorn chicken was apparently fresh when we received it and it was hot (temp) but I've had better and the sauce that came with it was lacking in lots of flavor. I got 3 drinks as well and they were alright, but I've had so much better for the same price. Service was questionable, they definitely don't treat everyone the same. Everyone else inside the etablishment received their items while they called my number/item and I had to walk up to the desk to get it, even people standing outside... The place is cute but the plushies were dirty lol. Restroom is somewhat clean. I'll never come here again. Don't get fooled by all these reviews that just throw a 5 without even considering anything else but the look and style of the building. 1 star for using fresh ingredients for the drinks. read more

Wow! What a nice take on sushi burrito. I had the tonkatsu burrito 9/10. It was full of flavor but it had a little bit too much mayo. Additionally I had the teriyaki burrito 9/10! I loved how the purple rice really complimented the meat. It was a lot bigger than imagined and filled me up. read more

We were looking to kill sometime before our paid parking limit ended and thought why not get some boba. We ordered a Fresh Pineapple Green Tea with Crystal Boba and Tiger Brown Sugar Boba. My hubby loved his fruity drink, made with fresh pineapple! The tiger was nice and warm, the perfect boba texture that I love, very flavorful and VERY sweet! Next time I'll go with half the sweetness, but shaking it helps distribute the flavors some! Before leaving hubby decided to get a Tonkotsu Purple Rice Roll. He took his Chinese rice roll to work, so I didn't get to unwrap it, but he said it was amazing! This adorable small business opened just this year! I love their decor and indoor seating area, sweet staff too that gave our toddler stickers! If you collect Labubu they even have some fancy outfits and accessories for sale! We'll be back, so I can try finally try a purple rice roll! Masubi looks good too! SYOY! :D read more

I am such a big fan of this place. The staff are sweet and patient and while tiny, the place is cute and decorated. I can't think of another place in Sacramento that has these Taiwanese Purple Rice Rolls. I love all the different textures and flavors and am so happy people are embracing such a unique and different food! I have also tried the cream cheese wontons, which were standard and yummy, and the strawberry matcha latte. Wow, this was so impressive. They use real strawberries, ha, what a novelty, and the drink was so well balanced. I don't think it had the best matcha quality, but it still paired really well. Can't wait to go back! read more

3.5/5 Came here for a quick lunch that is near work. Location is easy to locate, near a few popular restaurants in downtown. Business doesn't open doors until 11am, so its great for the lunch rush. The shop is cozy and cute, which purple/lavender decor with some blind boxes available for purchase. There's a nice bench area for waiting, and a few tables for dine in. You have the choice to order from the kiosk or register, I chose the kiosk since I will be taking some time to look through the menu. First glance of the menu, it was limited not much options just rice rolls and drinks (note: I visited the business when it barely opened for business like a month or so in, so menu was not as developed as it is now). I decided to just order: Togo - Tonkatsu pork rice roll with extra diakon, cucumbers and sauce. They also offer vegetarian option, which is great if I just want a lighter lunch. I didn't get any of their drinks. Overall, the rice roll was good. I would get it again for a quick lunch. It might look small but it really fulfilling since it fill with rice. I think the request to add extra diakons, cucumbers and sauce really help with the overall flavors. If I didn't, it might have been a little dry to my liking because the daikon and cucumbers add additional freshness to the roll and the extra sauce made it less dry, in my option. If you are looking for a quick bite for lunch and want to try something new, check out Rice Bites for their rice roll. It's different than the normal food options in the area like pizza, burrito, or salad. read more

I was looking through the list of hot and new restaurants on Yelp and came across this new establishment! I was so excited to see a new restaurant serving Taiwanese style rice roll! And as a vegetarian, I was even more excited to see they offered a vegetarian option of their rice roll! I stopped by on a weekday during lunch time. There was plenty of street parking when we arrived. The restaurant was quiet, clean and well decorated. Staff were extremely friendly! I ordered their vegetable purple rice roll to go. Although it didn't contain the typical Taiwanese rice roll ingredients, I decided to give it a try anyway! The food came out quickly and item was nicely packaged. My vegetable rice roll contained avocado, carrot, lettuce, cucumber, and pickled radish, but was missing the crispy dough. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that my rice roll was missing a key ingredient until we had left the restaurant. The rice roll was still good but tasted like more of a salad wrapped in purple rice. It was definitely very different than a typical Taiwanese rice roll and reminded me of a sushirrito. Would recommend having napkins nearby as the filling is super saucy! Would love to see a vegetarian version of the classic Taiwanese rice roll with mock pork floss added to their menu in the future! read more

wonderful experience! First and foremost, the staff is wonderful!! So kind and helpful. They just opened recently, so there are limited options, however they said they're working on more! I got a vegetarian burrito and the purple rice is so delicious! Such a good meal for lunch at work. I also got a strawberry matcha and it was divine! I highly recommended stopping by. The decor inside is super cute as well. They have Labubu outfits for sale as well. So if you're into those, definitely stop by. read more

This past weekend we had the chance to check out a fairly new boba shop in the downtown/midtown area. I've driven by here a couple a times and decided it was time to check it out. The staff in general are all very helpful and overall very friendly. They helped us decided on what to get and even let us sample some of their food ingredients. All their fruit drinks are made to order with fresh fruits muddled behind the counter. Both of our drinks were very fresh tasting and delicious. We didn't get a chance to order off the food menu but did get to try the chicken floss. They do have a variety of different rice based eats which we're gonna have to come back and try. They have plenty seats in their store and a wall to take some flicks with friends or family. Again everyone working in there is very nice which is always great to have. Hope to be back soon! read more

It's a cute little spot! I ordered online and got their tonkatsu purple rice role and the passion fruit tea. The tea was so good! It was nice and light and refreshing. Great on these hot summer days in sac. I felt like the role was good. I wish there was a better ratio of rice to stuffings. I didn't feel like there was a ton of other stuff in it, but it was yummy! The service was really quick and nice! I ordered online which was great. I recommend stopping by! There isn't much seating on the inside so it's a good option for a grab and go. read more

New Taiwanese dining spot! I accidentally discovered this place by chance while I was trying to get dinner after an event near downtown. There is a self serve kiosk for ordering, space inside is clean and cute like a boba shop. Staff were so friendly and accommodating as well. :) My food came out pretty quick and everything tasted delicious that it reminded me of my usual spots in SoCal (Rowland Heights). Next time, I'll try out the fantuan rolls. It's a good lunch spot -- wish it was closer to Midtown because I could definitely see myself coming here with friends and hang out over boba instead of the usual bars. Go try the purple rice; looks different but very tasty and actually healthier! read more

Had the purple rice roll. It was kind of like a purple rice spam musubi but bigger and messier. Also had mustard which really threw me. Not sure how I felt about it as the ingredients and assembly of it left me bewildered. The size is really too big for the nori wrap so it just falls apart and the ingredients are literally all over the place making each bite taste different from the last. The milk tea was really good though so I'd give five stars for that and probably three for the rice roll. read more

Yes! I'll be back. At first glance, the tonkatsu rice roll looked smaller than expected, but I started to get fulI as I continued taking bites out of it. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Overall, it was full of flavor from the pork to the pickled veggies, wrapped up in warm purple rice. A little messy towards the end, but worth it. The mango green tea seemed popular based on Yelp pictures, so I went along with it. It's light and refreshing. I went with 50% sweet, which was perfect. It's close by my work, so I hope it sticks around. read more

my sister and I wanted to get a light meal for lunch and decided to give rice bites a try. we've been looking for somewhere that sells rice rolls like this for a while, so we were super excited to visit. we both ordered the chicken teriyaki rice roll and it was so delicious! there was a perfect amount of veggies inside and the chicken was nice and flavorful, not dry at all. i loved the texture that the crispy dough provided. all the flavors went perfectly together. towards the second half of the roll, the rice was starting to slightly fall apart since its just purple rice and not sticky rice (which is totally fine, im not the biggest fan of sticky rice anyway) the server did provide many napkins and a fork which I used toward the end of my roll and was able to finish my roll fine. they also sell boba but we didn't order any drinks customer service is great, the girl working was kind and even gave us free boba wontons! we didnt know what to expect with those, but they were actually pretty good! we're super thankful for that gift from her. there are a couple small tables inside to dine in and a bench to wait for your order as well. the decorations are cute and fun! parking is on the street which is to be expected in that area. overall, it was the perfect snack for our afternoon. Id definitely come back and try another flavor! read more

I came here mainly to try the purple rice rolls but the boba menu was definitely a bonus! These purple rice rolls were so yummy - I want to go get another one now just writing this review. In the past whenever I have purple rice it always seems dry. But this was cooked so perfectly! Plus they put a good amount of sauce, and not too much. I want to try all of them but so far I enjoyed the cheese sausage and the classic rice rolls. They're a pretty good size, smaller than a burrito but still filling enough for me. I think my only complaint is that I wish it was wrapped tighter, or at least had another level of paper wrapped around so I could hold it easier. Otherwise it just falls apart after you get halfway. My fresh strawberry green tea was a refreshing drink to enjoy with my rice rolls also. They use fresh strawberries and you get the pieces in each sip. I wish the orange wasn't in there so I could enjoy the strawberry flavor more but otherwise it was a good drink. Service was pretty quick and they were welcoming! There is a decent amount of seating considering the size of the place. Downside is you have to pay for the downtown parking but next time I'd probably just try to see if they can do ordering ahead so I can quickly pick up! read more

Such a delicious and filling purple rice ball! I got the grilled cheese sausage - the cheese was super melty and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh. The shop was clean and felt very pregnancy-friendly (I loved that fruit and ingredients were stored separately). Bonus: they were pet-friendly too, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

Rice Bites - Grilled Cheese Sausage Purple Rice Roll - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Sacramento, California

Stopped in around lunch on a Monday and it wasn't busy. We came in right before another couple. Got lucky with street parking right out front, but there's only a few spots so if you're driving here you might have to circle around for a spot. You can order at the counter or kiosk. - Classic Purple Rice Roll (Spam): definitely the best of the 3 rolls I tried. I would get it again, but it was hellaaa messy! I'm not sure if other people cut theirs on their own or it was served to them that way, but mine wasn't cut in half. That probably would've made it less messy, but also wrapping it in two papers (like most sandwich places) would've helped. When unwrapping it, there was sauce all over the paper so I don't think this would be a good option to eat at the office. Anyways, the saltiness of the spam paired well with the freshness of the veggies and sauce. I would like it with a bit less rice though. And, for those wondering, purple rice tastes like regular white rice. - Teriyaki Chicken Purple Rice Roll: worst of the 3 rolls. Lacked flavor. Couldn't taste the veggies. Overall bland. - Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll: just ok. Had the same sauce as in the classic one, which I think made it taste better than the roll without it. If you don't like spam, this would be a good alternative but the classic spam one is the best. - Strawberry Matcha Latte: they smash fresh strawberries and puree together and that made a big difference. It was good. Matcha wasn't the best, but not bad and definitely not chalky. - Jasmine Green Tea with Boba: Boba was nice and chewy. I meant to order it as a MT, but then was fine that I didn't because the MY version is $1.25 more..that's crazy to pay that much more for a MT and it not even use an alternative milk option. Anyways, it was too sweet. Next time I think 75-80%, or even 50% would be better. - Fresh Mango Tea with Mango Crystal Boba: as the name implies, they smash up some fresh mangoes. I'm not sure why the new trend is to include like in fruit drinks, but it's not my preference/I don't like it. I wish I had known so I could ask them to not include it. It's not a super trying flavor, but I definitely taste it and wish it wasn't there. Since they use fresh mangoes, the drink isn't as sweet. It's almost tart.. Didn't taste mango flavor in the crystal boba. It cost me like $50 I think for the 3 rolls and 3 drinks. I think the roll is was worth it, but the drinks were on the expensive side (I assume because they use fresh fruit). The drinks were nothing special, but I would come back for the classic roll. And even though I don't recommend eating it at work, I wish it was closer to mine so I could come more often. Dealing with parking downtown makes me unlikely to come back just for this place, but if I'm nearby I'll probably make the effort. Service was friendly and could be a little faster, but everything was fresh and they're new so understandable. read more

Stopped by on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered: - sausage and cheese rice roll. SO GOOD! The sausage are the small Japanese ones, and the cheese is grilled so it has that nice crispy outside. I loved the veggies and the crispy Chinese doughnut, and the ratio of the sauce and rice was surprisingly perfect! My last 2 bites got a little messy, but overall pretty easy to eat. It is a solid size and very filling! - mango green tea (50% sugar) - So refreshing! Loved the fresh fruit flavor and you can actually taste the green tea. 50% sugar was just right. I hardly ever finish my drinks and I finished this drink by the time we got home. - Bonus points: they use a Taiwanese boba machine shaker, and their staff is super sweet. Let's just say we came here for me, and my partner had originally planned to order food from elsewhere for himself. But after trying my order, he ended up ordering a rice roll. Yes, it is that good! What a welcome addition to midtown - hope they stick around! read more

A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I decided to try this place instead of waiting longer for Mikuni. We both got boba drinks and some food -- popcorn chicken rice plate and a classic purple rice roll (fantuan). It was my first time trying out the unique purple rice, and the texture and taste was surprisingly good. Food overall was delicious and made very well. Boba drinks were customizable, so no problems at all adjusting for sweetness or choosing your toppings. Restaurant was clean, ample seating. Service was order on kiosk, but staff was available to help and they were nice. read more

When I saw this it sounded good, but when I actually tried it, was really good. The flavors within the rolls are distinct and so yummy. The meat and the veggies compliment each other very well. Purple rice....first time....was good. I'm not a fan of seaweed, but this one is not bad. The ambiance is spartan and doesnt have the flash that a lot of these places have, there are three tables inside and one outside. More seating would be nice. read more

Found this place on Yelp and thought it was interesting. It was a few blocks away from the office so we decided to stop by for lunch. I ordered the tonkatsu purple rice roll with a pineapple green tea. It was a good size. The rice roll was generous in its filling and they used enough rice where you had a good balance between filling and rice in each bite. They had a few tables for dine in and you go order with their kiosk or the person at the counter. The restaurant itself gave more of a takeout vibe with their limited seating. But overall I would not mind coming back again and trying their classic roll. read more

This little gem is tucked in a busy downtown street, but don't let that deter you from coming! I parked down the street and walked over on a sunny summer day. I was intrigued by a purple rice roll and went right in. It's an adorable cafe on the smaller side, about three 2-person tables and one back table that could fit 3-4 people. It's decorated with touches of purple to match their specialty of purple rice! It wasn't too busy during the weekday lunch hour. This was perfect since I wanted a chance to take a seat inside to enjoy my meal before heading home after a 3-day conference on this side of Sacramento. I ordered the teriyaki chicken purple rice roll and the fresh orange green tea with boba. When I received my food, one of the employees advised that it's best to eat the rice roll like a burrito, peeling the paper down as I ate to avoid any messiness. I followed her advice and there was barely any mess. My hands were easily cleaned up using a napkin and hand sanitizer! The teriyaki chicken purple rice roll was delicious! The chicken was cooked well and juicy, and there was a good amount of sauce. The vegetables added a good touch on balancing the flavors! I enjoyed the crunchy bites and the pork floss, so many good flavors! As for the fresh orange green tea, I enjoy pulpy textures, so this drink was tasty and perfect for me! Using fresh fruit made it sooo perfect for the sunny summer afternoon. One of the employees came by after I finished my roll to ask how I liked it. I told her how much I enjoyed all the flavors and textures the rice roll had. She said they're always looking to make improvements to provide the best food to customers, which I think is awesome. I will definitely be coming back and letting friends/family know about this place! :) read more

I loved everything about Rice Bites-- from the food, to the staff and the overall ambiance. 10/10 experience. Can we just talk about how stunning it is in here, it was so cute and I loved the decorations. Even the little tray they serve the food on and to-go bag is so adorable. The workers were so friendly, they even helped my friend and I take a picture!! We got the classic purple rice roll (spam) and it was so tasty and filling. The worker recommended me to try the cheese sausage purple rice roll and it did not disappoint, so so good! We also tried a sample of their mango smoothie and it was so refreshing and delicious. I will definitely come back to this place! read more

This place is very cute with the purple seating and faux purple flowers against the windows. The white and purple decor goes so well with the purple rice theme here. I came during their soft opening and they already have some yummy looking items on their menu. So far they have 5 rice rolls and a good variety of drinks from fruity to milk tea drinks. Their highly recommended items are the cheese sausage purple rice roll and their orange green tea. All their fruit teas are made with fresh fruits. I have to come back to try them because I just got some coffee. My husband and I got a vegetable purple rice roll and a classic purple rice roll. The vegetable one was very refreshing with the lettuce, avocado, yellow pickled radish, and light mayo. The crispy dough blended everything together to finish off with a subtle savory taste. Their service here is so great. The staff were so welcoming. One of them even gave a complimentary drink. So very sweet of her!! I do wish them all the best and cannot wait to see them again! read more

Perfect for takeout, these rice rolls are delicious. Service was excellent, with the chef himself coming out to answer my questions. The shop has only been opened three days as of today. I had the Fried Pork Chop Purple Rice Roll, tasty. No side dishes are available, though there is a good selection of beverages. This is be a solid option for on-the-go eats. read more
