    Fish shaped waffles (붕어빵) with custard or red bean filling.

    Great service. Kind staff. Delicious food! Family friendly. Lots of homemade desserts and they have a delicious handcrafted Misutgaru smoothie. Lots of cute rice cakes and shaved ice desserts.

    I was completely new to Sweet Rice today, so the woman at the counter (the owner, I assume) was incredibly helpful making suggestions. The Frappuccino was perfect, and she was absolutely right to suggest the custard. Seriously a gem in a world of commercial coffe!!

    For Montgomery, I was pleasantly surprised with Sweet Rice. I believe it's a chain because there's an identical place in Duluth, GA, but I've never been. Bubble tea is hard to find in Montgomery so I was curious to check this one out. Parking: Plentiful. Interior: Spacious. The inside is very cute. Several tables all around the restaurant and a large sectional sofa that's great for groups. This place offers a wide variety of Korean sweets, beverages, and snacks. * Fish cakes: Fish-shaped pastry filled with custard. These are made fresh on the side and very good! Not too sweet at all. * Milk Tea Bubble Tea ($4.50): The tea was OK, but the tapioca/boba was old and hard. I couldn't eat them and ended up drinking the tea around it. I would not recommend this. * White Chocolate Mocha ($3.99): Not bad, but also not special either. Service: Good. The ladies were nice, however, they don't speak much English. Overall, Sweet Rice is a decent dessert place in Montgomery. I'm happy to see more Asian cafes opening up here and would be open to trying something else at Sweet Rice next time.

    Love the fish cake and the black sesame rice cake. As I dont like sweet stuffs, black sesame rice cake is perfect for me as it doesn't have any sugar, just the aroma from black sesame. Fish cake is huge portion with lots of tiny fish cakes. Staffs here are very kind as well. Highly recommended!

    I thought this was a pretty special discovery in Montgomery. I have to say, the Asian population has really taken off over the past several years after the Hyundai plant was built. And along with it, more Asian restaurants, stores, and specialty shops like Sweet Rice have been added to the scene. We stumbled upon a review on Yelp and decided to give it a try since we had some extra time over the holidays. They have a lot of sweet treats and desserts, although they were all Korean treats and we couldn't tell what any of it was. Still, I'm pretty adventurous and am always willing to give new things a try. So we picked a couple of treats that looked good. They sell by weight, so you can pick however much or little as you want. We ended up liking a couple of them and went back for seconds to bring back to my parents. They also sell bubble teas and these really tasty fish shaped cakes that are kind of like crepes. While the bubble teas were average, I thought the fish cakes were delicious must-haves! They come in 4 pieces and are filled with red bean custard. If nothing else, I highly recommend giving these a try. I will definitely be going back for these anytime I'm back for a visit.

    A cute, small, but homely place where you can tell they are experts at what they do. These sweet rice cakes and goodies are best enjoyed fresh and the day of delivery, as they can get a bit less delicious over time. But we had them while enjoying a coffee at the store itself, which was perfect. Don't expect too "sweet" rice when you go, though. These little treats range from no sweetness at all, to just enough. Our favorite ones were the balls filled with sugar. I could eat a hundred of em! The others were definitely different than what you would find at any other bakery or dessert place, and that counts for a lot. They're good at what they do if you're into it!

    For Montgomery this place is pretty decent! Get the traditional milk tea over the flavored bubble teas. There's a wide selection of Korean sweets that are 5.99/lb. pick what looks appealing but note they are typically less sweet than traditional American desserts. The real star of the place is the barely advertised four stuffed dessert shaped fish filled with red bean and custard. Comparable to what I've had in Cali and very delicious warm. Highly recommend you try it!

    Made my Korean friends in Montreal jealous with this find, so score! I liked it, especially the gold fish dessert with red bean and custard, which they call 1/2 n 1/2. I have to go back to try the shaved ice!

    Absolutely amazing. Me and my kids stopped in today and got some bubble tea and strawberry Snow Bangsu and it was incredible. The women working behind the desk were also incredibly sweet and attentive. Will absolutely be back!!

    Glad Montgomery has another place that sells bubble tea! I got the green tea flavor and it was delicious. I wish they made their boba fresh, you can tell the difference if it's freshly boiled rather than sitting for awhile. I hot boba all the time in LA and Mr. Chen's sells it as well but I usually just end up making my own at home. The rice cake was nice and subtly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try more bubble tea flavors.

    Love it! Fan of authentic Korean food and super happy we have this in Montgomery area. Loved the coffee and sweet rice treats. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable in what they do. Must try as a light sweet treat option in Montgomery!

    The rice cake here is really good and really fresh! I also like that they package it in different sizes so if you live alone, you can't buy several smaller packs to try or larger packs to share!

    My date and I were looking for a new restaurant when I came across this one. I've been wanting to…read moretry boba. Upon arrival, the staff greeted us and provided lots of information on the menu. I ordered boba with pomegranate passionfruit with blueberry balls. She ordered chai milk tea. Mine was refreshing and hydrating. Hers had just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. Highly recommend.

The staff were very welcoming and informative. As the adults, we were unfamiliar with how this type of set up worked, and our cashier was very patient and ready to help us as much as they could. We all ended up loving our drinks! We got a brown sugar milk tea, a Thai green milk tea, and a passion fruit strawberry drink with passion fruit popping boba. It was all delicious! We also got some Vietnamese egg rolls that were fried fresh, hot and crispy. The inside of the shop was so cute and inviting. It had nice seating options. So if you want more privacy, or to be sat with everyone else, you easily can be. With different kind of seats too. They provided board games, that were entertaining for all of us. We really enjoyed ourselves, and when the staff saw that we wore masks, they made sure to mask before coming up to us. Which was very considerate and much appreciated. Highly recommend coming in if you're wanting to try something new, or looking for a spot that feels welcoming for everyone.

    From the parking lot I had high hopes. We found this place highly rated for the area and the strip…read moremall filled with lots of other Asian businesses had me to believe that we had found a great place to get lunch. It was not the case. For $9, I expected that Vietnamese Iced coffee to be spectacular, instead it had me questioning if it was pre-made. The $17 vermicelli bowl, which I usually love in the summer because it is fresh and cool and light, came to my table with hot noodles, and consequently, cooked cucumbers. The pork was spongy in a way that I haven't experienced before. The spring rolls were the least offensive thing we ordered, but they were void of any flavor. Where are the fresh herbs?? I normally wouldn't even write a review for a small business like this, but this isn't good Vietnamese food and I hope to warn the next person driving south through Montgomery looking for a quick, light, flavorful, fresh meal. Find something else. Wait until you pass though New Orleans and try ordering Vietnamese again there. p.s. The name has changed to Pho Life, maybe the pho is good, but, the bun is not. And charging $9 for an iced coffee is too much.

    I ordered thru Uber eat for 2 items. When i picked up at the frontdesk, there was only 1. I called…read morethe store. The guy apologized and said he doesn't speak/read Vietnamese (i can speak English perfectly so if you cant speak or read Vietnamese, that wouldnt hurt me). He said he only see one item sent from UberEat. I worked in food industry and familiar with the tablets for UberEat and doordash, etc. So the chance he missed type my order is higher than technical issue with UberEat tablet. I already contacted UberEat for refund. The store charged 8.00+ for delivery so Im extremely unpleasant with their service. Food portion is fine. The pickle cabbages smells like dishsoap. It could possibly because of the container they are holding.
