    Tonkatsu Purple Rice Roll
    Tina T.

    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.

    Mango Smoothie and a Taro Milk Tea with Aloe

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fresh Pineapple Green Tea + Crystal Boba~ My hubby loved his fruity drink, made with fresh pineapple!
    Rachelle P.

    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

    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!

    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.

    vegetable purple rice roll

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Passion Fruit Tea
    Sara W.

    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.

    We came as they were closing, they were nice to welcome us. I didn't want to bother with foods so I got a mango green tea 25% sweet. It was refreshing delicious I love the little bits. Nice balance. Cute cup and little shop. I'm dying to try the purple rice rolls. We love eating purple rice at home.

    It's me again on a mission to try every place that has matcha, and this spot landed on my list. I…read moreordered the banana matcha, strawberry matcha, and a bingsoo. Everything was really good and surprisingly not expensive. The café has a quiet, chill vibe, which makes it a nice place to sit and enjoy dessert. The bingsoo was the highlight. The ice has a really soft, fluffy texture that melts in your mouth and it's topped with fresh fruit and ice cream. The mango and strawberries made it really refreshing. Overall a really nice dessert spot and I'd definitely come back again, especially for the bingsoo.

I was also interested to try their tteokbokki, for an extra dollar you can also add cheese. The Bingsu was pretty good, the mangoes and strawberries tasted really fresh, although I feel like it was a little bland and missing something compared to what I've had before. The tteokbokki was a little bit underwhelming, for price I paid I was hoping it would have been a little bit bigger in portion. Nonetheless the food & dessert was still really good with the workers being really friendly and giving good recommendations. I'm definitely coming back whenever I'm craving Bingsu.

I…read morehave tried many different items from them because almost everything they offer interests me. I love their soft serve and drinks because it's creamy, has the right amount of tea flavor, and it is not too sweet! The item prices can range between $5-$10 depending on what you order and any special add-ons. Service is quick and the employees are friendly. The store itself is small, with limited seating, and parking can be difficult because the lot is small and it is located in a plaza with many other popular stores. I like the art mural on the wall and coming here always gives me relaxing summer vibes. I recommend getting soft serve in a cup so that you can enjoy it at your own pace without having to worry that it will drip and make your hands sticky. You can also get a soft serve in a cone and request for it to be upside down! Their black sesame drink is my personal favorite and if I am feeling fancy I will also get a matcha latte and mix it together.
