This place is amazing. If you have celiac and are anywhere near, go! It was the best GF meal we had this year. Really fantastic. Good service, very comforting that it’s dedicated GF. We enjoyed fried tempura, buffalo cauliflower “wings”, sushi rolls and more. They have GF beers. 100% recommend!

Super good sushi! I was skeptical coming here at first due to the restraunt not being very advertised as a dedicated gluten free place. But, after assuring the employees of my celiac, I felt very safe. Sat outside and could see the beach. Ordered lobster ramen which was okay, and the rising sun sushi rolls. The lobster from the ramen was very good, but had a LOT of bean sprouts which I didn’t really like but was still good. The sushi roll was very good, I’ve never had shrimp tempura before but it was super delicious! Was a bit on the spicy side but wasnt too bad. Overall it was a great experience and didnt get sick!

WOW what an awesome dining experience. Fried rolls, ramen, fresh fish, and we felt great leaving when we had lunch. Not only because it was fully gluten free and we felt safe ordering like normies, but because the food itself was high quality. Highly recommend the Citrus Salmon roll & the Miso Cod. I will be back again and again.

Best meal I've had in years. Every once in a while you stumble upon a place like this. This hits my sweet spot for a restaurant. Nothing pretentious or fancy for no reason. Just super high quality food, prepared with care and creativity. Every dish we had was excellent. Just the right balance of flavors and textures: not too salty, sweet, or strong. Everything cooked to perfection - fried mushrooms were just cooked enough on the inside but not overcooked, and perfectly crisp on the outside. The kabocha squash was the perfect texture. We loved the chunky cut cucumber dish, unique! Lobster miso ramen was so delicious and creative! Who has ever heard of that? So much I want to learn from this chef. Even the plain brown rice was perfectly prepared. You can taste the quality in the ingredients, probably local and organic. Service was perfect, just attentive enough without ever interrupting. Top 3 most memorable meals I've ever had. I get the sense the chef here could have Michelin stars if they wanted that, but have opted for a less stressful and pretentious operation. I'm so glad they chose this path. Truly fantastic experience. Had a wonderful date with my girlfriend!

Rice was fantastic! Not only dedicated gluten free, but delicious! The standout was the lobster miso ramen (my first ramen in 11 years) and enough for two. The crispy rock shrimp and crispy rice sampler were also wonderful. Sadly no room for dessert. Seriously, this was the best meal I’ve had all year!

AMAZING. They had everything I could have wanted. I got spicy edamame followed by their sampler for their crispy rice and they were amazing. I got their shrimp tempura and wound up getting a roll with it as well. It's been so long since I've had shrimp tempura and it was seriously good!

We went out for dinner at Rice. Glutenfree menu, which is great for a celiac. Food was tasty, service was good. Being Europeans we consider the restaurant very expensive. Portions are also rather small.

Everything is gluten free. This place was so cute. The decor and ambiance was amazing but on to the food. Salmon carpaccio was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten! Sake cocktails. “Tempura” mushrooms with a vegan aioli. Fried sweet potatoes with another aioli. Sushi roll was good too! This place was awesome. We will be going back soon. 👍

So glad we made the trip down. The sushi is melt in your mouth buttery. We tried the nigiri, sashimi, and veggie tempura. Everything was outstanding, so delicious. It’s just so so so nice to eat somewhere with piece of mind, not having to worry about getting glutened! Cute outdoor patio with space heaters, we lucked out with parking directly in front. Good variety with vegetarian menu as well.
