    Tropical kale coconut water
    Theresa S.

    I have wanted to try the viral rice wrap for a while. I picked up my order super late, but the rice burrito was pretty tasty. They did not skimp with the fillings. It was both sweet and savory. If you're into Asian food, you will enjoy this. If you're not into Asian food, it may not be your thing. I also got their kale, pineapple, coconut water. It tasted healthy, but refreshing. If you're Asian, you would appreciate the nutritional value the drink offered.

    Brown sugar boba

    Super cute boba cafe near the heart of downtown. I got the brown sugar boba while waiting for a late night event to start and it was super yummy! Sweetness level matched my expectations and the seating area is very charming. I appreciate they're open later than other businesses nearby. The cashier was also friendly! I'd like to try their food next time.

    Classic Purple Rice Roll
    Samuel L.

    This Classic Purple Rice Roll came into my life like a carb-loaded superhero wrapped in seaweed. It looked innocent in the packaging, but inside was absolute mayhem. The purple rice was chewy and satisfying, the crispy dough brought the crunch, and the pickled radish plus cucumber kept everything from turning into a full-on sodium festival. Every bite tasted slightly different, like a lucky dip of deliciousness, and it had enough fillings to make a burrito jealous. I ordered it through a delivery app, so I can't really comment on the service or ambiance, but the packaging was neat, secure, and honestly kind of adorable. The roll arrived intact without turning into a rice avalanche in the bag, which already deserves respect.

    Walked in on a Monday during lunchtime and the storefront was so cute. Everything was so purple and other than food they sold blind boxes too. I ordered the OG purple rice toll and it was $10~ , my food came out shortly after. The rice roll was super yummy, it had all types of different textures and flavors all in one roll. It was a little messy to eat towards the bottom, but I'm glad my server gave me a fork. If I'm ever in the area I would get it again!

    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
    Ryan B.

    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

    First time 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.

    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!

    If you love Asian fusion food and this is the spot which is kind of like a sushi burrito but with Taiwanese style and it's very comforting and I really do love it because they use purple rice. The purple rice actually helps with your blood sugar and doesn't rise up with sugar level and it does increase it but slowly. It is a healthier rice option which is the purple rice compared to regular rice. . For the Asian burrito I tried different variation where there was a teriyaki chicken stuff inside which is really good because the chicken is grilled and I do love the teriyaki sauce but it does get really wet and messy when you're eating it. Also the teriyaki sauce really makes the seaweed soggy on the outside so just a note and warning. . They also have another variation with Spam and I really do like that because it comes with pork floss and it's a little bit on the dryer version so I do like it less messy and the Very good textures. It also has egg inside and I really do love a soft scramble which is so good. . They also have your other snacks like popcorn chicken to cream cheese wontons as well they do have fresh fruit juice and boba drinks as well. They also have a teriyaki chicken plate with purple rice and a salad and some pickled cucumber which is really good and if you don't like a sushi Form they have it in a plate form which I really like. . They are located on a busy street and with limited parking but there is street parking where you can park. I always order it to go on doordash or just on their app and then just quickly Park and get off and pick up. . Overall it is a solid spot for a quick pickup and if you love trying new things this is a spot to go try. Hope this helps and thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day.

    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.

    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.

    Krystal W.

    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.

Both packed a good amount of heat at the spicy level, which we loved. The Lao sausage was also super flavorful, but as soon as you cut it, the inside does fall apart a bit. It's a personal preference to have a denser sausage. Service was also ok. We found ourselves needing to call over the waitress a couple times, since we were just sitting waiting to order or get a box and check at the end. Flavors are worth coming back for tho.

I don't always know what to order at new places - so I liked that they had signs for specials as well as "favorites." We ordered the Rice with Teriyaki Chicken, Oliver's Favorite which was Spam Musubi and Spam and Bacon Fried Rice and Mom and Dad's Forbidden Feast. Everything looked and tasted really good! Obviously, it would have been much better had we actually eaten in the restaurant, but still no complaints once we got it home. Spam Musubi is one of my favorite things to eat so I could have downed like 5 of them! Portions were huge too - they even have a 100 year old teriyaki recipe! Overall, I would definitely come back and try other items! Staff were also very friendly, personable and gave great recommendations! Check them out!
