Probably wasn't one of my most favorite meals. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad. The bento box was packed and filled with tons of food for $16 the pork braised and ribs was decent.

Good selection on the menu. The chef's special ramen was flavorful and semi spicy. The poached egg was a perfect touch. The chicken skewer was delicious! Teriyaki sauce drizzled across the top of the tempura chicken was delightful. read more

My friend and I ordered bento #1 and everything was fresh with quality ingredients. I ordered the Japanese tonkatsu (fried chicken cutlet) with curry, and she ordered the teriyaki salmon. We felt like our meat choices were cooked "just right" -- not over or undercooked. The chicken and salmon were each served with a generous portion of rice, some pickle, and an assortment of salads. The first salad was an iceberg salad (not as pictured) topped with shredded carrot and a flavorful, light sesame vinaigrette dressing, then some sort of creamy corn and an elbow macaroni salad. Drinks were $3 apiece from their fridge -- otherwise there's no way to just request a cup of water. Bottled Coke, Sprite, Jarritos, Monster Energy Drinks, glass bottled water, etc. Mr Rice was reasonably priced. The service was quick, and the restaurant was very laid back. Nice and clean. The only drawback I can think of was that the music was really loud -- like, it was difficult to hear my friend across the small table. After we were finished, we were trying to get the attention of the employee/cashier from our table to ask a question. He couldn't hear us over the music. (We weren't sure if we should clear our table, or where to put our bentos) read more

Mr Rice - Do not order. Curry sucks too. All chicken fat - Asian Fusion Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

We went to Chinatown strip mall to finally check out the bakery my 2 fellow foodies have raved about buty boys were hungry for food while we were there so we happened upon this place. ESPECIALLY since the sign did mention a 2 meat bento type meal for around $16! We were pleasantly impressed with the presentation and the meal itself which we shared as a family of 4 since we were also trying out other food from the other eateries in this complex. You cannot choose the sides, you only choose the meats. It was very worth the price considering how many items you get. Definitely recommend. read more

Super fast! Very delicious! The rice was exceptional. I just want to say that first off. I ended up having leftovers and I normally don't eat my leftover rice. It was still delicious even after I microwaved it. I was amazed. I got the two item "box lunch" Bento Box. I ordered the pork belly and tonkatsu. I was super excited, and I was not disappointed. The pork belly was well seasoned and flavorful, meaty and deliciously fatty just the way I like it the tonkatsu was thin breaded, and tasted amazing with the Japanese curry. I generally do not order curry, but I do love Japanese curry. I have never made it myself so I don't know why it is different but it is. The mains were served on top of white rice. I got a small side of edamame, an eggroll, a tempura shrimp, and two pieces of Gyoza with dipping sauce. The side items that come with it change and you do not get to pick the sides. when I went the sides I got were a yummy macaroni salad, a really delicious tofu salad that had small pieces of diced up crisp apple, and a side of what I think was shredded, pickled radish. Served in the middle was also a small salad made with tomato and broccoli. Very nice presentation. Luckily it's easy to take home since I had leftovers. My husband got the braised beef ribs. It was a good size portion. They tasted great. They were kind of sweet tasting which neither of us expected. All the appetizers and sides that were in my meal were the same that came with his he got a single item Bento box "box lunch". On several different occasions, I have purchased the sushi it comes premade, so it is easy to grab and go. I always get it for my daughter and not for myself. She has told me she enjoys it very much and has never turned it down. I only tried the shaved pickled ginger from her sushi selection and it was good. I am pretty picky about the taste of the pickled ginger. This was the first time we stayed to eat. There are only a few tables available, and you go to the counter to order. They brought our food to our table. Usually there is a tall gentleman helping at the counter. He is nice and friendly this day there was a young woman. She was very helpful and sweet to me as I may have been a bit much with my excitement. Thank you for the delicious meal. read more

Went there to eat with my mom. We're both Korean, and we were disappointed with some of the food. I ordered the king katsu and she got the galbi. While the galbi was tender and well flavored, the same could not be said about the katsu. It was very bland and a little dry, despite the gravy on it. However, it wasn't inedible. Overall it was a nice place, but didn't meet our flavor standards. read more

I decided to pop into Mr. rice for the first time today while picking up a couple of items in Chinatown. I've been meaning to try it for a while. Overall, I'd say the food here is just average. I got the two item bento box. There wasn't anything that was a big standout aside from the macaroni which had unique flavors. My rice felt like it had been sitting for a while and a bit hard. I got the pork belly and VIP braised beef and both of the meats were slightly over cooked and more tough than it was tender. You order from a kiosk and pick up your food at the counter. The restaurant overall is a small and casual space. If you're looking for a quick and easy option with a decent portion of food for the price, this isn't a horrible choice. Just don't expect the food to knock your socks off. read more

Mr Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

There is an art to simplicity. Mr. Rice gives the grace of a seasoned street vendor that has an unwavering commitment to convenience and flavor. There is no reinvention of the wheel here, only the reassurance that the wheel will turn, as it always has, to bring you back to this exact moment of satisfaction. Fancy restaurants may offer a dazzled dish with greens and foams, but they'll never outshine the sheer reliability of Mr. Rice. It is the vendor in the food lot that never fails you, the warm plate that reminds you that sometimes good food isn't about extravagance--it's about comfort. read more

So was our 1st time going to Chinatown - which is pretty much just a strip mall. So, we wanted to try a couple different spots since this isn't close to where we live. Mr. Rice was one of them and it did not disappoint. I don't know if they always had that bento box special they advertised just outside their location but it was definitely enough for 2 people to enjoy. You only pick the 2 types of meat. The rest you cannot choose-- they had a standard for sides that could not be substituted. Just a few tables in here so we took ours to go since we were going to another location to try also. But yes, surprised about this spot and recommend! read more

My family and I enjoyed this little fast service style restaurant inside China/ Asian mart in Murray. Seating area is very limited, but if you Togo your food they serve it in a little cute blue bag with your items nicely packed. Had the Earthy Hearty Curry. Consumer beware. The photos of this dish includes a pork Tonkatsu but in reality this is an additional add on for $5. I didn't know this the first time and assume it was included because the photo showed it and all I got was curry with veggies and rice. Overall I liked the flavors because I like a little spicy curry but some maybe more sensitive to it. Give it a try. read more

Mr Rice - Interior dinning space. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Mr.Rice is finally open! They took over the Kpop dance studio space in the Chinatown Supermarket plaza. The same owner as Mr.Shabu owns Mr. Rice. I love Mr.Shabu and am so glad that Mr.Rice did not disappoint! It is going to be one of my new favorite restaurants in SLC. The space is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. Their menu is small but has a good amount of variety from rice bowls, lunch boxes, to sushi. Their packaging is super neat, they'll package your order in their branded bag and utensils. Food: I only tried their braised beef ribs today and I highly recommend it! There are not many places in SLC that have Galbijjim and I love Galbijjim so I was stoked that they have it! The meat was tender and falls off the bone. The price was reasonable for the amount of food they gave. Short ribs are usually on the pricier side due to the cut of the meat. It was just as pictured, all the same ingredients/vegetables as shown. Note: the short ribs order does not come with rice, and you can add toppings for additional cost. The restaurant just opened recently, so it is understood that mistakes can be made. I ordered rice sticks as a topping for my short ribs. But because it is a take-out-only restaurant, I was not able to check the order until I got home and realized the rice sticks were not added. But I called and chatted with the restaurant owner, he was very nice and apologized for the mistake. read more

Was in the area and seen this place was contemplating and walked away. Nothing else enticed me enough to go there so came back and looked at the menu closer. For October was a different weekly special for the day so today Monday was teri chicken for $5 regular is $10 or 12. I also added a tonkatsu topper just cause for $5 more. Overall presentation is great and with it being sealed better for office etc as not to worry about spilling etc. Sides were ok little different, has taste and flavor. Can't mess up teriyaki chicken imo though. Tonkatsu on the other hand was meh for me. Very thin piece little chewy but ok to bite off pieces. I'd pass on that. If I'm wanting something like a bento to grab and go then I'd cone again next time I'm in town read more

Mr Rice a new restaurant in Chinatown Supermarket plaza is delicious. Besides great and friendly service, the restaurant is clean with a fresh modern look .... I had the BENTO BOX with 2 meats (braised ribs/grilled unagi) the braised beef ribs was tender well seasoned delicious... I have to mention the side salad, whatever the dressing was. it was perfect ! It's not the typical carrot ginger dressing you get from most restaurants. The fried side selection of spring roll, shrimp tempura and fried dumplings was a good. Yum feels like I'm in Japan!!! I will return read more

Tried this place today in China Town. It was just fine, I wasn't blown away by anything but nothing was bad either. My husband thought there was too much meat tenderizer in the beef and the idea of the katsu curry is good, but not as ideal in reality. We were starving and have been meaning to try it since it opened awhile back and it was the first thing we walked into when we entered China Town so decided to give it a shot. We got the bento boxes with 2-options and both tried the beef and curry katsu. The Mac salad has a very unique Asian spin to it and was actually great, everything else was good enough if you're looking for Asian fast-dining options. We enjoyed our meal, it's probably not something I'd get all the time but it's convenient if you're looking for a quick and maybe even a little healthier option. read more

Mr Rice - BENTO combo- beef and curry katsu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Mr rice is a brand new addition to slc Asian cuisine. It is a Korean Togo spot that specializes in rice dish. Do they have more than rice? Yes they do. The staff here is friendly. They answer any and all questions quickly. You can also take a peek inside the workings of the kitchen area as well. The beef rice dish I got along with the spicy rice was delicious. It's not as spicy as I thought it would be but it's very yummy. The beef is bulgogi beef. Very tender and packed with flavor. The beef ribs was amazing! It's has daikon and potatoes. The potatoes wasn't cooks as soft as I would like it, but everything about this dish is delicious. The beef was falling off the bones and the flavor was amazing. I got medium heat, but it was still lacking spice for me. I think next time I'd get the hottest one. I would definitely come back here to try out the different dishes. read more

Chicken teriyaki box had an assortment of veggies, rice and pasta salad that made a perfect lunch. If you have an Asian auntie, have her make you lunch, if not go to Mr. Rice it's just as good. read more

I ordered the 2 item bento with chicken teriyaki and grilled unagi. The teriyaki tastes like boiled chicken. The unagi was alright. The gyoza (included in the combo) was mostly dough with a tiny filling. Same thing with the spring roll, mostly wrapper. I so wanted to like this place because of the reviews and proximity to my house. But alas, this Asian is very disappointed. read more

So, we were craving korean..and I searched for Asian food on a Sunday.. and it was very rare to have Asian places to be open on a Sunday. Fortunately, i found mr. Rice. And what was more amazing, the price. They had a good enough selection and did I say price is amazing? Yes! We got sushi, salmon bento and beef bulgogi bento plus their specialty which was the braised beef. We were super excited to taste them. I think the To Go boxes were very classy too. But the best part, they all tasted superb. I'm so particular with flavor, and this one nailed it! Service was amazing and the place was extremely clean. They are located inside a small Asian mall weigh a grocery. So, if you haven't tried them.. then you should. Highly recommend them! read more

Amazing food quality and service. It's a hip spot to grab a meal, good seating, without feeling too crowded or getting too loud.

Super fan in the making! read more

So glad they're opening! I've been watching them built and kit out the spot and am so glad that they're show ready. The interior is incredibly sleek, love the branding, and attention to detail. We had the teriyaki chicken plate and the large sushi combo. It did not disappoint. Sure it wasn't Manhattan style - Yushi Yasuda quality sushi...but nothing in this town is. But it is the perfect quality for a quick stop sushi spot. The prices are insanely reasonable. 2 people, 26 bucks pre tip. Get you here and have some yummy food. read more

A quick stop to pick up an amazing quality meal for a decent price! I love Mr. Rice! As a student at the U, it can sometimes be overwhelming to figure out meals. The ease of being able to stop by and pick up ready to go meals (that are tasty and at a great price point) was awesome! Sometimes I'll get sick of Chipotle bowls & want to change it up haha! This is perfect for that. There's a wide variety of different meals, so i'll definitely be trying all of them! So far I've tried the galbijim (medium spice), teriyaki chicken bowl & the sushi plate. They all were amazing and way better than if I attempted them at home! The quality and thought that went into the packaging also shows. It was all so well thought out & I appreciated the care and time that went into designing it! I love all the little details. I will be back & bringing friends to try it out. read more
