Ended up here when looking for a small bite. With their burgers all being around the $11-12 range it was exactly what I was looking for. I'm not a huge burger fan but the rice 'bread' was appealing along with their Japanese flavors. We got the beef and chicken katsu and they were neatly packaged in a takeaway box. The person working there was very friendly and attentive. Upon seeing we would eat outside he brought out additional napkins and paper plates for us. I guess he knew it could get messy unless you eat really quick. The flavor was good and I enjoyed the rice element. I found it didn't stick to my fingers, had a nice chew to it and complimented the meat. The sauce definitely made the rice crumble a bit towards the end so I would try turning it over to finish the last bites if you're taking your time. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect, Asian food of some sort on a side street. Ordered from a specialized food app. Upon notification to pick-up, oddly surprised. I'm trying for the first time - Curry Croquette: Japanese vegetarian fusion of 2 potato patties blended with a curry, panko breaded then fried, served on steamed rice & fresh Asian slaw. ~ the above was from a discounted menu item of their choice, hence the surprise. ~ a healthier alternative from other fast food places. I will come back in the future, for non-veg options, and more. read more

I tried the crispy miso tofu bowl. It's basically fast food so I wasn't expecting anything super fancy and this was pretty good for what it was. The bowl included deep-fried agedashi-style tofu, kimchi, and charred corn over cabbage and rice with a sweet teriyaki-like sauce and a creamy dressing. Good flavours. The charred corn really delivered a nice hit of smokiness. The bowl was reasonably priced and filling. There are a few seats for eating in but it's mostly designed for takeaway. The food still comes in a takeaway box with disposable cutlery even if you dine in. It would be nice when the weather is better to take your food out to the outside tables on the street. I would like to try one of the burgers because I like the concept but I wish they would add a vegetarian burger option with tofu or something other than the potato croquette. I like potato croquettes but I don't think I could handle all the starch of eating one between the thick rice buns. read more

Rice Burger - Crispy Miso Tofu Bowl - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We were here for a long weekend last weekend and my bf stumbled across this place! Small kinda set up. The guy ringing up orders and cooking was humorous! We got 2 chicken katsu rice burgers. Literally the buns are made of rice -- it can hold for a bit before it breaks down so expect it to be a little messy. The popcorn chicken was juicy with a bit of sauce! It was one of the best I've ever had. Kimchi fries were not bad but I did not expect it to be just corn...when I thought of vegetarian that there would be carrots and maybe some broccoli. It's near a residential neighborhood so we parked on the street. The restaurant is also next to another Asian eatery called The Kitchen which I would have to try next time I'm in town! The road is closed off on purpose for people to walk and eat (where the restaurant is...you'll see why when you're there) obviously the main road is not closed. They some nice benches to eat across from the restaurant. read more

Fried spicy chicken katsu rice burger, need I say more? It was very good. Certainly do wish they would offer the chicken teriyaki as a rice burger option as it's only a bowl option as I tried to ask the cashier but they were unable to accommodate. I don't eat beef or pork and was trying to cut back on fried. On the one hand, appreciate smaller places that keep their menu simple but it is very limiting menu if you have food restrictions and trying to eat cleaner, not the place for that. read more

This place has gone downhill sooo much since it started. I went there recently on the 13th April, 2025 and ordered a beef rice burger. OMG, one of the worst rice burgers I have ever had. The sauce was terrible, the rice had soooo much water that it almost had a paste texture. Absolutely disgusting, waste of money and time. I regretted so much, will NEVER go there again. read more

Rice Burger - Absolutely disgusting! I am a return customer, it was never like this before, wonder if the ownership has changed. Will NEVER go again - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

SCHMACKKKKKK. I have always wanted to try a rice burger and I am so glad I was finally able to! You can tell that this establishment makes their food with love. Their vibes are so energetic and entertaining. Overall, love the people and the food. We got the prawn rice burger and kimchi fries. Both HIT the spot. The sauce was bomb and the fried prawns were so crispy and tender. Not gonna lie though the burger is a little messy but I didn't mind it at all. The kimchi fries were also delicious. The fries are shoestring and they gave a lot of both fries and kimchi. They also put sweet corn and kewpie mayo which went super well with it all together! You mist try this place! Whenever I am back in Vancouver I will definitely be coming back here. read more

One-line review: Different for this area -- a fun explore. We lived in Hawaii for a number of years, and one of the food items I've missed is musubi (picture a large nigiri sushi with grilled spam on top and you won't be far off). Rice burger feels like a spin on that idea. They apparently grill 'balls' of rice to use as the 'bun' of a burger and put all kinds of fun things in the middle. Spam is available, but we went for: - the Farmhouse (chicken, beef, and pork). This was my favourite of all the items we ordered -- meaty and tasty. - Spicy katsu chicken. This was fine, but why stop with chicken when you could get the whole farmhouse?!! - Fries (not special but fine) - drink - Spicy pork bowl. This was the disappointment in the bunch. Wouldn't order this again. Pricing/value was decent. It would have helped had we just omitted the spicy pork bowl. We found free parking on the street. Service was friendly. Bottom line: Would do this again, though we haven't rushed back. read more

We got a beef yakinku rice burger and popcorn chicken to go. We ended up not being too impressed with the rice burger as found the rice a bit too mushy but the flavour was there.

What a unique concept. Delicious meat served in between two rice buns. We got the spicy chicken katsu and korean spicy pork and neither disappointed. Also, we lucked out and it happened to be a Sunday so if you spend over $10 you get free chicken popcorn chicken! Given the fact that we got free chicken unexpectedly, we would have tried the beef yakiniku instead of the chicken katsu so we will definitely try that next time since we did OD a little on chicken - haha. The sauciness of the korean spicy pork made that rice burger just so damn tasty, we can only imagine the beef. They also have the option to make these burgers bowls, and I saw some funky items like kim chi fries and curry croquettes. What a great fusion of Asian food. If you're near UBC, swing out and come try Rice Burger. We ate on the church lawn diagonally across this location and it was just pure summer bliss! read more

Recently open rice burger store. Went Monday lunch time not busy at all. There are indoor and outdoor seatings. Side street right outside is closed for traffic and with bench/umbrella seatings. Ordered first item on menu farmhouse burger with beef pork and chicken. Took about 10 min to get my food ready. One other customer was waiting and guessed most ordered online. Never tried this type of rice burger before. In my farmhouse burger the fried/Katsu chicken definitely stood out and you may have difficulty finding the taste of beef or pork. Chicken tasted pretty good. Next time may try individual meat burger instead of mix. They have tap/bottle water some side drink no alcohol read more

A very interesting concept of burgers with rice buns. It's surprisingly practical and the rice does not fall apart, but still quite difficult to eat because it's stacked so high. There are many options to choose from and ranges between many asian cuisines such as Japanese and Korean. They also have kimchi fries which were super delicious but a little expensive for what they were. The entire menu is a little expensive for what it is. The place is quite small, with only 2 tables and some counter seating. There's also a few tables outside. It didn't seem very busy on a weekday at lunch time. The burgers took some time to prepare and the wait was especially noticeable because there were no other people in the restaurant at the time. But it is quite reassuring that everything is freshly cooked! The chicken katsu was super crispy and quite well proportioned to the rice. Overall the experience is very similar to eating a rice bowl, but it was a good rice bowl :) read more

My partner and I finally got the chance to drive down to Rice Burger to try their burgers. The concept of a rice burger was delicious, definitely a twist to the traditional burgers. Our favourite part of the rice burger was actually the rice itself. Loved the crispy exterior, it was toasted to bring out the fragrance of the rice (it tasted like the bottom of a clay pot rice). The rice held its form even after we took a bite out of it. The spicy chicken Katsu had a nice thin batter, but enough to make it crispy. The chicken was cooked perfectly, making it juicy for every bite. We do think this was lacking some flavour, somewhat bland and it wasn't spicy. Maybe ask for extra sauce since the rice soaks up the sauce. The beef yakiniku was much more flavourful compared to the spicy chicken Katsu. We also got the Kimchi fries, highly recommend this! Exploding flavours of kimchi and the perfect amount of sauce. The topping to fries ratio was also great, the toppings also added texture. TIP: If you go on Sundays and spend more than $10, you get a free half-order of popcorn chicken. Covid Protocols: Sanitizer is located right by the door, they currently don't do dine in, but there's two patio tables outside for their customers. PRICE｜$$ 。$8.50 Beef Yakiniku 。$8.50 Spicy Chicken Katsu 。$4.00 to make it a combo (drink + fries), add $3 to upgrade to Kimchi Fries.

This is an interesting twist on the traditional burger! It is a small place with limited seating but with a nice variety of "burgers" but instead of bun you get rice! The toppings are Japanese/Korean style, with choices such as beef yakiniku, spam, and tempura. You can combo it up for an extra $3.50 which includes fries and a drink. I ordered the beef and my wife had the spam (you can order double meat for $2.50). There are many delicious options to choose from! read more

Rice Burger - Left: Beef Yakiniku, Right: Spam Musubi - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Rice Burger struck me as being an example of what fast food should be. Inexpensive, simple, with a clear concept and a to-the-point menu. And, above all, delicious! I wish rice burgers were more of a trend, because the texture and flavour of those rice patty buns was a welcome and tasty change from the traditional bun. I had the spicy pork burger (not actually spicy at all, but they're in Point Grey so I'll forgive them that) and the kimchi fries. The burger was delicious despite the lack of capsaicin, with a flavourful sauce that absorbed well into the rice patty. The matchstick fries were covered in a generous helping of sweet-and-sour sauce and a nice mayo, along with beef and kimchi (pork is another option), and were really tasty. And again - very affordable! And the staff were chirpy and fun too. I really wish they had locations elsewhere in Vancouver; I would absolutely eat here more often if given the opportunity. read more

Great burgers with great pricing! Pickup options available. Fun signing wall. Crispy/Korean chicken burgers are great!!!!

I'd been waiting to get to this place & it was worth it. However, I need to go back and try more of their food. I had the spam burger (because it reminded me of Hawaiian fare). It's a fairly small slice of spam, but you can order an extra slice for 2.50. It also comes with an egg and is sandwiched between to good sized rice patties. It hit the spot. I was happy I tried it. The wait was a bit long (over 10 min) at a time that wasn't super busy. Perhaps they were just off schedule today. I'd love to come back and try their spicy katsu chicken burger, which is apparently the most popular sell. I'd also like to try their Korean fries. The burger with tax is 8.40, and then you can add on things like kimchi or other toppings. It's well worth your time if you want something to fill you up for a reasonable price. read more

As you may know, we love to #SupportLocal, and I've found that the best way to find these awesome local spots during your trips is to find that local city's "@Yelp" account. For example for Vancouver BC, we referenced @YelpVancouver and that is how we found:. . (drumroll) . . ‼ @RiceBurger604 ‼. . This place was BOMB. @gonzonelly and I shared the Prawn Tempura Rice Burger and the Kimchi Fries and #AaronLeviGonzoTravels had the Popcorn Chicken & it was all yummy! New to us, because we had never seen this concept before so it was something very neat to try for the first time. A little backstory about @riceburger604 founders, Austin and Jackson, friends since 13yrs old, grew up dreaming about how they would, one day, start up a business together. In Nov. 2016, they started with a delivery service and a rented kitchen and less than a year later in Sept of 2017 the first Rice Burger establishment was officially opened. They feature a variety of beef rice burgers and also chicken, spam, pork and prawn tempura options. So if you're ever in Vancouver it's definitely a must try. ps. The rice "bun" doesn't fall apart when you bite in to it, which I thought was pretty cool. #tasteintravel #stayandwander #optoutside #lifeofadventure #exploreeverywhere #exploretocreate #bestvacations #exploremore #lonelyplanet #roamtheplanet #passportexpress #passionpassport #buzzfeast #eater #eattheworld #eeeeeats #smartfoodchoices #tastemade #foodoftheday #foodphotography #foodlover read more

They were giving away 100 free chicken katsu rice burgers for their 2nd anniversary so I went to line up for one. Surprisingly there weren't many people lining up so lucky me! I loved the breading on the chicken katsu! The chicken was very moist and flavourful and the rice had a slight crunch on the outside and the flavours went well together. Most of the teriyaki sauce ended up on the bottom of the container so the rice at the bottom was extra tasty! I recommend you rotate the rice burger so you can get some sauce on the other parts of the rice as well. They're not too big but it's a very substantial snack. read more

I absolutely love rice burgers and was hoping that there would be a place that will serve them - thank goodness for RiceBurger604! And boy, do they deliver! So delicious and fresh! We ordered the Korean Spicy Pork, Beef Yakiniku and Prawn Tempura rice burgers. They came in cute brown boxes which made it easy to hold and eat.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. There's not a lot of seating available. Tried their beef burger, Kimchi fries, popcorn chicken! Beef burger: 4/5 - very flavorful, wish it was a bit bigger, overall tasted pretty good. The rice patty was made well and it was not soggy! I enjoyed the rice burger concept! - hard to eat nicely so I ended up using a fork to eat my burger. Kimchi fries: 5/5 - lots of Kimchi and sauce, though fries did get a little soggy overtime, it was still amazing!!!! Would get this again! Popcorn chicken: came with two sauces (mayo and teriyaki sauce) chicken was tender and crispy! It was a good sharing dish but I would not buy it again. read more

They must have changed ownership because the food is now horrendous. My friend ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl a month ago and the chicken was raw, like completely raw. I ordered a side dish to go and the portion size for almost $5 was literally a tablespoon of kimchi packed in a condiment container. Absolutely unacceptable. My rice bowl was also a sloppy mess, with barely any rice. I think the problem is the staff 100%. Two young girls were cooking that looked to me that they had very little experience. When this place first opened it was excellent, food and portion sizes. I was looking at the positive reviews here and they were from a year ago and further back, which makes sense. Now it's a sloppy food mess with unqualified and unbothered staff in the kitchen. read more

To be honest, I didn't expect to like this. I usually have pretty simple tastes - I like what I like, and when it comes to sushi, the vegetarian variety only offers so many quality options. Rice burger isn't sushi, but I don't think the term "sushi burger" is far off. The "bun" is wonderfully formed and holds together so well. The filling is amazing, and so are the sauces. I tried the only vegan item on the menu, and it was amazing. 10/10 would come back. read more

Finally got to try this hidden gem, which I found on instagram. Small location hidden in a small street. Design was minimal, less is better. The cashier was very friendly with a lot of energy. Asked for recommendations and we ordered the Chicken Katsu Burger, Farmhouse Burger and Kimchi Fries. There's not a lot on the menu but enough to be full and give you a beef / chicken / pork option. In terms of food....IT WAS DELICIOUS! The 'rice burger' was a perfect compliment to the meat inside. The fries weren't too soggy with the cheese and kimchi on top. The meat was tasty and the katsu was crunchy but not too oily. I gotta say it blew my mind and exceeded my expectations. It's something I will definitely try again, but I'll let the taste linger for now and I'll be back soon! read more

This small restaurant is hidden in the corner of Sasamat St. near UBC. They replace the normal buns with rice patties. These burgers definitely look and taste delicious . Their menu is quite simple, so it was easy to choose. We got: * Beef Yakiniku * Korean Spicy Pork * Chicken Katsu (recommended by the staff) * Kimchi Fries The rice patties were thick, but soft and chewy. The slices of beef and pork were well-seasoned and tender. My favourite was the Katsu chicken; the chicken was crunchy but not too oily . The fries with kimchi and cheese on top was also very tasty. Highly recommend to check this place out. If you want to challenge yourself, you can order a Farmhouse (which has everything) with an extra egg, it's gonna be a fun messy meal . read more

This is a nice little spot off to the side. Originally a delivery only service, they decided to open their own brick and mortar location. Come summer they will have delivery though Door Dash as well I'm told. Everyone was super friendly, music and conversation coming from the kitchen. Simple interiors and just the basics. The menu is simple and the food was good. I have a love for pressed rice buns. I'm used to seeing them deep fried and crispy, these were pressed sushi rice with a light fry or sear on the outside. Not crispy, not cold but not warm either. Fillings were tasty - the spicy pork was our favourite, then the the spicy chicken katsu and then the beef. One burger was filling (I'm guessing because of the rice). Different and tasty. My only gripe was that it was messy to eat. And I wish the rice was either fried or warm rather than lukewarm. We ordered the popcorn chicken as well. I appreciate that this Taiwanese style popcorn chicken was crispy but not salty. We had a mix off all three sauces (mayo, spicy and teriyaki). Overall, it's a great place to try for a light bite to eat. read more

I'd give it a 4.5 stars. Some of the staffs are not super friendly but they are polite and one in particular is very friendly but he mostly works in the kitchen. A small place with two small tables outside (each have 2 chairs) but they are back to back so usually only one table get used due to Covid's social distancing requirements. Some street parking and walkable to the bus stop. Quite a few different items to order in this small place. Most are great. The rice patties are the perfect size and texture. I LOVED the katsu. My partner liked it but she's quite picky with pork. I didn't mind the pork smell or taste but it is quite strong compared to some (it's also marinated and still a bit strong). The popcorn chicken is flavourful and good texture but felt like the chicken is not as fresh as it should be. I'm sensitive to food and scent especially when it's not that fresh. Doesn't taste bad and didn't get sick at all, but wished it was better. The curry croquette is tasty too!! Personally I'd say if you are a sensitive person when it comes to taste and smell, I suggest anything on the menu except the Korean spicy pork and the popcorn chicken depends on the batch. They have some pop and water too. One of my favourite is the apple soda from Taiwan. If you haven't tried it yet, try it. I'm not a soft drink person except for the apple soda. They have fries too which is REALLY good! I would recommend this place and I'd definitely come back soon. read more

SOOO good! This place hits the spot right on! The rice bun has a slightly crunchy outside texture and the meat is so carefully tucked inside of the buns!
