Once seated, the waiting staff arrived and they had gluten-free menus which was a huge win. Butterfly nectar and Negroni was beautifully presented and was good. We got an order of rainbow sushi but the soy sauce didn't arrive with it. The sushi (and the wasabi) was so good, I could easily forgo the soy sauce. Good is an understatement, the fish used was really fresh and tasty. Then we ordered some kung pao chicken with peanuts and Singapore mei fun. Both had excellent flavors and we savored our dinner. We had no room for desserts. My only comment is maybe they could leave a pitcher of water on the table.

RiceBurg Wellesley is a casual restaurant that combines Asian-inspired flavors with a burger…read moreconcept using rice buns instead of traditional bread. We walked into a bright, modern space with a straightforward setup that keeps the focus on the food. The interior is clean and functional, designed around counter service and quick turnover, and the energy stays casual and approachable throughout the meal. It feels like the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick meal without the formality of a sit-down restaurant, and the steady flow of customers reflects its popularity as a neighborhood spot for something different. The rice burgers are the main highlight. We ordered the chicken katsu rice burger and found the rice buns gave the burger a different texture, making it feel lighter than a traditional burger while still being filling. The rice held together well and provided a subtle nuttiness that complemented the crispy chicken and savory sauce. The sauces and toppings matched the rice base naturally, and the combination of textures, from the crispiness of the chicken to the softness of the rice buns, made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. The bowls are also a solid choice if you prefer something more traditional, with options like katsu and bulgogi-style flavors that offer the same Asian-inspired profile in a more familiar format. The katsu bowl came with a generous portion of crispy chicken over rice, topped with a rich sauce and fresh vegetables, and the bulgogi bowl offered a savory, slightly sweet flavor that held up well against the rice and vegetables. The fries and sides are another strong part of the menu. They have a more unique style compared to typical fast-food fries, with a light crispness and seasoning that made them stand out, and they paired well with the main dishes. The menu has enough variety that you can come back and try different items instead of feeling limited to just the rice burgers. Service was friendly, and the food came out efficiently, with the staff handling the steady flow during peak times without making the experience feel rushed. RiceBurg is a fun take on fusion comfort food. The rice burgers, creative flavors, and variety of options make it stand out from typical burger spots, offering a meal that feels familiar yet distinct, and a place worth visiting when you want something with a different twist.

There was plenty of parking, and upon walking in the restaurant looked very clean. Since it was close to closing and I had called ahead, we were seated right away at a hibachi table with just the two of us. There was an extremely loud birthday party seated next to us, but that's not the restaurant's fault. While ordering, I wanted to get appetizers and sushi before our hibachi meal, but I felt a little rushed by our server. On a previous visit I remembered there being a Tuesday appetizer special (I thought it was half off), but when I asked, I was told they had never offered that promotion. Food: * Rock & Roll Roll - 8/10: Fresh and tasty, although the crab had a slightly stronger smell than I'd prefer. * Shrimp Tempura Roll - 9/10: Very good, but I asked for extra eel sauce and was given barely a tablespoon. * Steak & Shrimp Hibachi - 5/10: The flavor was excellent and everything was cooked exactly as requested, but the portions were surprisingly small for the price. * Chicken & Steak Hibachi - 5/10: Again, the flavor was great, but the portions were disappointing. We ordered extra chicken, which ended up being a good decision because the regular portion was very small. Each plate had less than a cup of rice, and although I requested extra mushrooms instead of zucchini and carrots, that substitution wasn't made. * Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings - 10/10: Easily one of the best items we ordered. Perfectly crispy with great seasoning and just the right amount of spice. * Scallion Pancakes - 9/10: Crispy and flavorful, but they could have used more scallions and a larger portion of dipping sauce. Drinks: I ordered a lemon drop martini made with tequila, but it tasted like it was made with vodka. I asked if it could be replaced, but that request was declined. They brought me pineapple juice to try to make it more drinkable, but it didn't help, and the drink still remained on the bill. That was definitely a 0/10 experience. Our hibachi chef was fantastic. He was engaging, acknowledged my fiancé's birthday, and honestly made up for the lackluster service we received from our waiter. One thing diners should be aware of is that an 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it isn't verbally mentioned. It's listed as a "service charge" on the receipt, so it's easy to overlook if you're not paying attention. I asked about it to confirm, then tipped our hibachi chef separately because he deserved it. The receipt also includes wording encouraging additional gratuity, which could easily lead guests to tip twice if they don't notice the automatic charge. Overall, the food quality and flavors were still good, and the hibachi chef made the experience enjoyable. However, the rushed service, disappointing portion sizes, drink issue, and lack of transparency about the automatic service charge kept this visit from living up to our previous experiences.

However, when I received the bill, I was charged a $20 service fee, and then I was given three mandatory tip options on top of that. As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I understand how service charges work, but I personally feel that a $20 service fee is excessive, especially when customers are still expected to tip afterward. The food prices should cover the cost of service, with the tip being for the server's service. I felt the additional $20 charge was unreasonable and should have been clearly explained before ordering. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will not be coming back. I would recommend checking the service fees carefully before dining here.
