    Ube Matcha Cereal Milk
    Aldair V.

    Cool theme in this restaurant plus really neat furniture. It was easy to order on the kiosk and the staff was helpful with questions I had about the items. It didn't take long to get my order. The taste lived up to the hype! What would have made it better was if all flavors were available

    Was in need of a sweet treat and was in the area so decided to stop by. Just as good as their Vienna location! I was sad that there was only 2 flavors of soft serve available, but it was close to 8pm. The strawchee matcha calpico was a solid choice (although these were the only two flavors available anyhow lol). A mini with a taiyaki was plenty (even when shared!). Plenty of seating. Friendly service.

    Ube Custard
    Kevin C.

    It was very good. The ube was tremendous and tasted very smooth and creamy, very custard-like. The breading was very good as well and it tasted like it came straight from the oven. I wish the sizing was a big bigger but the atmosphere was great. Good music, good vibes here. It all melted in my mouth and was soft which was what I wanted. Would come again, even though they don't accept cash

    I've been craving ube. Come to find on my way home Rice Culture! If you're looking for a unique dessert experience and a place that brings homage to Asian culture, give this place a try. I am not a soft serve fan, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try this place out. The place is self order, and the staff is available to answer any questions you may have or even want to get a sample before you place the order. It's def a cool sight to see the employees making the taiyakis right there in front of you. The fresh smells hit you as you walk in the place. The bright purple definitely brings some fun to the place. The price is up there for what you're getting but I will say this is definitely a great place to try something new.

    That fish is eating all my ice cream!

    Very tasty! Got the mini soft serve ube and strawberry with the fish on top and was just right amount to share.

    Saw an IG post about their hot chocolates and had to go try it! Got both the Ube and Pandan marshmellow toppings. The topping is super thick and you have to dig a hole with a spoon to get to the hot chocolate drink. I highly enjoyed the white chocolate version more than the regular chocolate. For the price of it, it was just a one time thing for me. LOL. Their taiyakis are good and even better if you get it made fresh to order. Many options to choose from, but my favorite is the Nutella filled one. The staff there was super friendly and welcoming. There is some seating available inside.

    Great dessert spot! I've tried the taiyaki, halo halo, drinks and soft serve and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their options. Everything was delicious except halo halo was a tad too sweet for my liking but if you enjoy sweet desserts, it shouldn't be an issue. All the taiyaki flavors are great. My favorite was Nutella and the ube flavor soft serve has a very strong, authentic flavor which was also yummy. If you are looking for a sweet solid dessert place, this is definitely a good stop to stop by!

    Halo Halo
    Lyn L.

    This place was tech friendly and "old" people like us were fascinated at how we could customize our dessert without speaking to a human. I tried their version of Filipino Halo Halo. The ingredients enticed me: lanka, ube soft serve, leche flan, beans. When it came to taste, it was not my mother's halo halo. A nice copycat but very different. The ice was too thick and the flan was like a flat soft cookie. The soft serve Ube was almost there but not really. Service was super friendly. Staff dude was on point in decorating this Halo Halo. The ambiance of the place is welcoming. It has lots of seating and a big window to stare out into the parking lot.

    Oreo Cookie

    My first time with this soft serve dish. Ordering via kiosk was fun. The portion size was huge. At the counter I had the option to add toppings. I chose Rice Krispies. This topping elevated this dream cup.. Staff was super friendly. He presented my cup with pride. We enjoyed our treats at the window seats. The place was clean and bright.

    I know Rice Culture is known for their taiyaki, but imo... their soft serve is where it's at. The taiyaki has a sweet and slightly salty dough. The texture vaguely reminds me of a warmed up leige waffle? The filling is custardy and not too sweet. They're just okay to me. None of the flavors I had really stood out to me, except their strawberry hojicha which had a nice tartness and brightness. I also enjoyed their savory versions a bit more than the sweeter ones. The soft serve, though, is super good! I feel like the flavors pop out more. The texture is nice and smooth! The small cup is a little TOO small for me, so I would recommend getting the bigger one. The combo of ice cream and taiyaki rules though! The flavors rotate, so it's hard to recommend one. Service was quick! The store is pretty cute and has games on the tables to play! I've never been on the weekend, so it's never been too busy.

    pandan was my favorite
    Thant A.

    To the uninitiated, this is like dessert waffle with mochi or custard cream inside. You order and pay at automated kiosks picking the flavors you like. You can mix and match. Half a dozen sounds like a good deal. The place is on the opposite side of Costco. I didn't know these buildings existed in the area. They have tiny food trucks selling freshly made ones in touristy places of Japan. Rice Culture gets it pretty close. I'd highly recommend waiting the advertised 25 mins to get yours freshly made. The pre-made ones sitting on the shelves do not taste the best they could be. Pandan is my favorite. Ube is pretty good. Nutella and Oreo aren't my flavors. Matcha is bitter than it should be. I wouldn't get it again. Saving the soft serve and drinks for next time!

    Matcha black sesame soft serve with corn flakes and plain taiyaki
    Emily L.

    Ice cream is good, service is even better. You order at the little kiosks. The taiyaki's are made ahead of time so they're cold- I assumed they were like Korean boongobbang and served warm. I sampled the black sesame and ube - both good. I ended up getting the matcha black sesame swirl with plain taiyaki. I asked the person working what flavor filling taiyaki he liked best and he named a few and said he also loved the pizza taiyaki. You can opt to have pizza taiyaki made fresh but it takes 25 minutes. I chose to do that because my friend and I were caught up playing a game of Incoherent anyway. Fresh is the way to go- outside is crispy inside is gooey cheese, marinara, and pepperoni. The batter is sweet so I liked the savory inside. Ambiance is chill and AC amazing. Wednesdays are BOGO 50% off. Will come back!

    Service was quick. On that hot Saturday afternoon, the nice cold shop would cool you down. There are tables and chairs inside. The sweets here are yummy! I think it's because of the ube (purple yam) ice cream that they have - very rich and creamy. Soo good. The OG halo halo with ube elote (purple yam and brown butter corn which is sweet corn with browned butter) was very good. The ube custard taiyaki soft serve and ube Vietnamese iced coffee were great too! Very yummy ube desserts. Good value for your money.

    Kept reading about this place so I went to check it out around d 6:30pm last Saturday. We almost…read moredid t go because the line was so long but we stuck it out and so glad we stayed in line. It move fairly quickly and the ice cream was totally worth it. I got the four flavor ice cream flight and my friend got the chocolate swirl with jimmies. I LOVED ALL THE FLAVORS of the flight: macadamia, white chocolate mocha, vanilla and samoas (like the Gurl Scout cookie). Man these were all so good. By the time we finished eating, the line was more than double than when we first got there. We will definitely go back but maybe on a weekday coz that line was cray cray.

    Finally got to try the local favorite for ice cream! We got…read morethe ice cream flight--you can choose 4 flavors. We went with the daily specials: Cookie Monster, Funfetti, FlufferNutter, and Cow Tripping. With tax, it was $8.25. Pricing is quite good compared to other ice cream establishments. Line was pretty long but we got our ice cream after 25 minutes of standing in line--it took 5 minutes once our order was placed to get our order. Nice staff and there is a bathroom onsite but you have to ask so they can let you in. Cookie Monster: Definitely get if you love a good amount of cookie in your ice cream. Such a fun blue color! Funfetti: The birthday cake flavor isn't too strong but it came with a reasonable amount of sprinkles. FlufferNutter: The peanut butter was more apparent in their chunks than the ice cream itself. It was quite nutty overall, but not too in your face. Cow Tripping: I was hoping it would be my favorite since it is chocolate with Reese's pieces, but it didn't have much Reese's. Good chocolate ice cream though.
