Found this restaurant thanks to the Gluten Dude app so i had to try it. It was delicious and so reassuring that everything was gluten free. Not used to have so many choices, I will definitely have to go back to try some more. Food was delicious and great service!! I had the lotus root and the crispy rice sampler .... read more

It's my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. A gluten free (celiac) person's dream! Everything in the restaurant is gluten free and safe to eat. read more

Their vegan sushi is phenomenal. They excel at this hard to do specialty while also creating a range of options. Also, the passion fruit mochi is incredible and has pungent flavor that is absolutely delightful. read more

I have been searching for a vegan friendly sushi place and I've found my new home. Great atmosphere and music. Nice dim table lights. The sushi was fresh! You can taste all the flavor. The serving dishes very elegant. We also tried the yellow tail and the meat just fell right off the bone read more

I love this place. Everything is safe to eat for someone gluten-free. It's an entirely gluten-free restaurant! For sushi! I don't think I've ever seen that. But it's not a sad, oh I'm missing stuff kinda place. It's an OMG this is amazing, and look at all the options, place. Safe for dairy-free. Just safe. And cute. And has outdoor dining. And the staff is awesome. It's not an inexpensive place. But it's so stupid good. I'm working my way through the menu. read more

Very nicely presented quality, healthy Japanese cuisine, as you would expect. The difference here is everything was gluten-free and they have a lot of vegan options. It was hard to select what I wanted to eat because there were so many choices. I recommend this place for vegans and pescatarians alike. Service was good. read more

I rarely ever leave a negative review, However this was just absurd for how small & expensive the items were. The baked salmon roll didn't taste fresh at all & had little to no flavor at all. $20 for the small portion size of baked salmon roll $14 for this small hand roll that was smaller than a snickers bar. I had been wanting to try this place for awhile, I have no problem paying the price if the food was adequate. Pretty dissapponted. read more

Rice has the best vegan sushi and ramen in LA for sure. The employees are always kind and helpful and the ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, especially if you can get an outdoor table overlooking the water read more

Absolutely loved the vegan sushi here!! This place is not 100% vegan, but has plenty of vegan rolls (not just a simple vegetable roll, but speciality vegan rolls!). The green garden roll with truffle/ mushrooms was THE BEST. Must try. Also enjoyed the vegan dynamite role. Delicious, hearty & filling! There were so many more menu items I wanted to try and wish I could eat all of it. I will just have to come back (and definitely repeat that truffle roll, yummm). Wrapped up dinner with a delicious vegan matcha/green tea layer cake with mochi & red bean and strawberries. So good! Great matcha flavor and the cake was not too heavy or sweet. Perfect dessert. The restaurant is located in Manhattan beach and is just a few steps away from the beach! Nice location/ area. Service was great as well- friendly, attentive, efficient. Overall, yummy sushi and will come back when/if in the area!! read more

Rice is one of the best vegetarian sushi spots I've been to. They also serve fish too! The Green Garden roll and Yellow submarine roll were our favorites. They were so fresh and had great flavor. The Dynamite Roll was way to smokey as they torch the roll. We weren't a huge fan of the smokiness. We also ordered the Sunset Dream which had good flavor but the crispy kale was way to oily. read more

Great vegan choices. Consistency good food and service. The portobello fries are incredible and the vegan sushi is delish.

Great food, always friendly and if you have celiac, it can't be beat. It's not cheap though, but you get what you pay for.

Their ENTIRE menu is gluten free!!! I can not tell you how happy it makes me to find a Japanese restaurant where everything is gluten free. I'm low key obsessed with this place. They even have ramen!! A friend and I came here for lunch yesterday and they have really amazing lunch specials. We both ordered the $21 sushi lunch (it's $21 if you order it before 1PM, $27 after). They also have a $31 pre fixe where you choose an appetizer, starter, roll and dessert. And they also have a ramen lunch deal. I am going to need to come back to this place so I can try everything. The fish was SO fresh and they also have vegan options. I will be coming back to this place on the regular now that I know it exists. read more

Don't come here with an appetite. The food is overpriced and the portions are so small you'll think you ordered an appetizer! The food tasted pretty good though so I'll give them that much. Oh, and the seating is quite limited. We prefer Fusion Sushi over this place. read more

Heads up: This is an unhealthy omnivore's review lol. I don't like diet foods or specifically healthy foods or low calorie substitute foods. I do appreciate the concept, where all the dishes are gluten-free, organic, natural, and vegan friendly. Their policy is that they do not use any chemical preservatives, artificial color, chemical seasonings etc. I ordered the omakase ($39) and substituted albacore for yellowtail. They also ran out of uni so I got another toro instead. The sushi here is made with brown rice that is not flavored or vinegared. So it was distracting eating it because it didn't really taste like sushi. The fish quality was not great - more like Japanese supermarket quality. Not worth the price. read more

Completely gluten free restaurant that was absolutely amazing and delicious. The food was flavorful. We each had a roll and split the American ramen. The ramen was the best ramen I've had. The service was fast and very kind. They even brought out a piece of cake for the birthday girl. The ambiance was very intimate and had a good vibe. Can't wait to come back and try more food read more

Thank you Rice for being fully gluten free and having so many vegan options! My family loves coming here first because we know our celiac kids will be safe and then so many vegan choices. My kids live for the mochi st the end but my absolute favorite is the portobello fries. read more

We had a terrific dinner here. The sushi is so creative, especially with their use of vegetables in Japanese food. Here is a list of what we ordered and really enjoyed: * Garlic Toro Kale: bluefin toro sashimi with garlic chip and fried kale * Crunchy Lobster Dynamite Roll: fried lobster, truffle sauce, avocado, cucumber, shiso, and spicy dynamite sauce * Dynamite Roll: spicy tofu and avocado with spicy dynamite sauce * Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna I also had their Yuzu Maple Refresher. It tasted like lemonade's cooler cousin. I really liked it. It was very hard to pick what to order because we wanted to try everything. I guess we will just have to come back again...and again. read more

Oh my...like. Oh my. This was such an amazing meal!! Ambiance was great, a little chilly but it was still comfortable and right off the main road that runs through town which makes for easy access. Street parking available which was easy to find. The food. The food almost brought a tear to the eye. My man is NOT gluten free but I am so it's always a toss up on if he's going to like the food or not but he said he's never had crispy rock shrimp like this before in his life. It was unreal. So crispy and the homemade sauce was paired perfectly. The sushi rolls were great. The Rising Sun Roll & the Lobster Dynamite Roll were both great. I'd highlight that the Rising Sun Roll was better than the Lobster Dynamite roll but the Lobster one was still good. I'd go for the Rising Sun Roll again, and replace the Lobster Dynamite roll for the Crispy Rice or the Crispy Salmon next time since those two seem to be popular. The MISO COD. Don't miss out. My man mentioned it tasted similar to a sweetened oatmeal but I said it tasted like a warm soft cake. The fish was just perfect. I have added a picture for your viewing pleasure but since we already dove in, it probably didn't do it much justice but a nice light crisp on the outside and hot and melty in the middle. The sauce too. It's just amazing. We got two beers (most options being gluten free) & the food above and our total came out to $115 & I would have paid more for this delicious treat. Nobu has similar dishes to what they have going on here at Rice & I'd come to Rice 10x's over going to Nobu. The food is unbeatable! Thank god for this gluten free Heaven. I WILL be back! read more

Love this place, all gluten free. So delicious. Will keep coming back!! Great service and location

The food was okay. The service was alright . The establishment is cash only - they don't have signs up and they don't tell you upon seating either. I got the dragon roll, which wasn't good and the salmon roll which was amazing. Also the chili cucumber & edamame. There is a slight language barrier, but not overwhelming. It's also walking distance from the beach with little parking. read more

My wife and I found this place when our usual sushi spot was too full for a drop-in. We were so surprised! Small venue but we were able to drop in on a weekend evening. We ordered the Crunchy Lobster Dynamite, Dynamite, Negi Toro, and SGA roles and loved all of them. The Dynamite role was vegan and so good we made plans to take vegetarian family to come back. Only drawback was the outdoor seating has a lot of noise from the nearby bar. We enjoyed the night! read more

Delicious, healthy food and great staff. Super happy about gf options. Recommend if you're in the area

It's 2 stars for the meat and 4 stars for anything vegan so that averages out to 3. Their Miso Cod is sweet and has a slightly rubbery texture, and the Yellowtail Collar is dry in some spots, though it's clearly a quality cut. The Sunset Dream sushi has bluefin tuna on top that was turning brown. Tasted okay, but the color was questionable. The crispy kale dissolves into puddles of actual oil, which is incredibly unpleasant. We should have listened to our server more. The vegan options we had were absolutely fantastic! A side of Kabocha Pumpkin atones with a sizeable dish with a saute so superb it tastes like pure caramel. The Green Garden roll is has a meaty mushroom beneath an avocado cream. Truffle sauce offsets the soft-spoken savor and makes is flavors pop. We ordered poorly here, but their vegan potential is clear. I'd come back with vegan friends for a nice meal out, but but I don't think I'd get fish again. read more

Ambiance: family style Japanese restaurant, small indoor dining but the outdoor dining area is peaceful and quiet, street parking only, walkable distance to the beach Service: very friendly though not so familiar with their speciality, and they ran out stuff easily Food: simple menu items, majority for fish and vegetables, the combo and sampler order is good for trying out more kinds, overall the raw fish was okay but sadly they use cheap green paste for sashimi here, instead of using the real wasabi VEGETABLE TEMPURA - *** Zucchini, carrot, onion, kabocha, Shishido, green bean, average taste, the oil used wasn't very fresh SASHIMI BOAT - **** Bluefin toro (++), tuna (+), yellowtail (-), salmon (+), albacore (-), jumbo scallop (++), salmon egg (--), uni(?), snow crab (-), unfortunately they ran out of uni that day, otherwise it should be a good collection of raw fish, bluefin and scallop were the best, salmon egg wasn't fresh, overall still recommend for its variety CRISPY RICE SAMPLER - *** 2pc spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, spicy salmon on pan fried brown rice, flavored fish on top of crunchy rice, average taste Price: small to medium portions, overpriced for the quality, expect $40+ per person read more

As a vegetarian it's hard to find sushi places with much more to offer than a cucumber roll and some edamame. At Rice, the vegan options are much more than an afterthought. I came here with my girlfriend for my birthday and we were not disappointed by the food or the service. We had an iced peach tea (with a free refill!), the vegan crispy rice sampler, the crunchy pumpkin roll (seasonal special), the vegan sweet dragon roll, the vegan dynamite roll, and the buffalo cauliflower roll. The sweet dragons roll was very fresh and was personally our favorite. All the fried/crispy items were the perfect texture. The cherry on top was the manager, Takuya, who was incredibly kind and attentive to all the customers. He even took a photo for us and printed out and gave us complimentary mochi ice cream and fruit for my birthday. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the neighborhood! read more

I absolutely love this place! Everything is gluten free which is nice. They have tons of vegan options and a great sake selection. Their fish is so fresh and tasty too! And their vegan options are just as good as their regular sushi. I also love that they use brown rice instead of white so it's a lot healthier for you. I haven't tried the ramen yet but I'm excited to go back and try it. We came here for their anniversary and it was all you can eat and drink special. We got so much food! Their servers are so polite too. It's a small restaurant so probably not the best for a large group but it's great for a couples and and/or a few friends read more

Vegan sushi strikes again! I went here with my vegan friend, and we had tons of options. Everything tasted really good except one dish--so let's start there. The sautéed broccoli is a no for me, which is unfortunate because I love broccoli :-( and it was actually broccolini, not broccoli. It was over cooked and the flavor was so mild that it was basically absent. I like my veggies to have a bit of a crunch to them, and this had no crunch. It tasted like it was just sautéed in sesame oil with three grains of salt. The crispy tofu with mushroom sauce was pretty good. It needed salt but got the job done. It actually wasn't crispy at all, now that I think about it. But the Brussels sprouts were FIRE! And all the rolls we had were soooo good! My favorite was the green garden roll, followed by the crispy rice tofu. There was another roll that had a smoky flavor but I can't remember the name. That was really good. The yellow brick road was good, but not as flavorful as the others. It's main wow factor was the crispy kale they served with it (which were kind of oily by the way--so if you're calorie counting, maybe avoid that). The passion fruit mochi was better than the hazelnut, but both were good. It's a tiny restaurant and the servers are nice and attentive. I'll definitely be back! read more

I payed my bill with my card but did not tip. The waitress asked if I made a mistake. I said no. She replied with "This is America. We tip here." Then asks, "Do you have cash?" still expecting a tip after this extremely awkward end to my day. I don't know if it's Asian entitlement or a personal lack of professionalism but I am in disbelief by her behavior. read more

I came here with a few girlfriends for lunch on Sunday and we ordered the sample prix fixe course ($39) which was honestly such a great bang for your buck. I ordered the edamame, crispy rice spicy tuna, crunchy lobster dynamite, and passionfruit mochi ice cream. I thought everything was ok. I was most taken aback by the crunchy lobster dynamite roll. There was mint in the roll which I was not expecting and had a significant effect on the taste of the roll. read more
