What a fun shop. Chicken was delicious and the sweets were so good. Daughter had ramen and loved it. Even did some shopping. Had a lot of viral goodies read more

Great food and service for a quaint spot. My grandson enjoyed as he recently moved to AZ from Tokyo. A few flavors from home.

This location is super cute. Not a fan of ordering off touch-screens, but I was able to order at the counter. We ordered the Japanese Curry, and just like Paula D said, the chicken katsu on tap was hard and dry. The Taro Tornado and Strawberry milk tea drinks with Boba were much too sweet. We did end up purchasing a very cute Kagome from Inuyasha. Essentially this place is kawaii overload, but dont expect much from the consumables. read more

I was intrigued and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Japanese Curry. So disappointed. Chicken katsu on top was hard and dry. Curry tasted like packaged gravy. It's a big portion but I ate just a little and threw the rest away. But, the dessert was delicious. Loved the cheesecake and milk buns. The mango smoothie was good as well. read more

The boba was good but the service was absolutely terrible. When I enter an establishment and am greeted with a glare from a disinterested young person on their phone behind the register I am immediately turned off to the place. It's not that hard to greet customers with a smile. I felt that I was an inconvenience and should not have dared to enter her store. Please look to hire people who do not hate their lives and everyone they encounter. read more

So I've been really curious about this place, and decided to give it a try today! This is based on food and drink only! I ordered the Cha-Chu Ramen and Lavender Passionfruit Tea. The Ramen was so disappointing, and underwhelming! Honestly, one of the worst I have ever had! They didn't even serve with a Ramen egg, but a hard boiled egg! The pork belly was OK, but you only got a few green onions and a couple of fish cakes. The broth was flavorless, so thank goodness they had shichimi spice to add some flavor. As far as my tea, I could not taste the lavender whatsoever. I skipped the Boba as the drink was already $7.50 and they wanted $.75 more for Boba? Yes, there were a few pieces of fresh fruit in the tea, but $8.25 to get a drink here with Boba, ridiculous! Everything is served in plastic, which I am not a fan of, and they don't even have soup style spoons for the Ramen! They have a few tables, and a few counter seats, but definitely not a nice place to sit down and enjoy your food! The store has a good selection of Japanese/ Korean candy and snacks. Lots of Hello Kitty, and anime merch, that I know my great nephew would love! They did have some unique items in the dessert case which I may stop in to try one day, but as far as their food and drinks, it's a pass! I was thanked when I left, and the gal was on top of cleaning tables, but really nothing special. With a $2 tip, my disappointing Ramen and tea came out to $27.02! Ridiculous!!! When my great nephew is in town, I'll might bring him in, as I think he would love the candy and merch, but until then, this is definitely a pass for me! read more

Was on the lookout for matcha, so found this place via a Yelp search. The decor of this place is so Japanese anime/cartoon eclectic and 100 percent kitschy awesome! The shelves - from floor to ceiling were covered in trinkets, sweet and savory Japanese snacks GALORE, ramen packets, drink boxes, paraphernalia, and more. Two big kiosk screens to order from, or, when it's not busy or you can't decide (me!), the front register is also an option. I went with a classic: Matcha Milk Tea with extra tapioca pearls. The bubble tea was decent, not sure if it's quite "the best" matcha I've had. I got it cold, and forgot to say "no ice", so I always feel that's a lot of the culprit when it comes to a watered down flavor. I did nab a few sweet treats to take share with the fam: A slice of their Crepe Cake and a homemade Hokkaido Milk Buns. The crepe cake melted from the sun's rays (yes, I even had the cold A/C on blast!), but was still delightfully enjoyable! The milk buns were also good. Not quite as light and airy bun as Tous Les Jour, but a very close second place. If I could pick up this store and move it back home to Ohio, boy oh boy would I be a loyal customer, wanting to try so many interesting snacks and ramen offers, haha! read more

Best kept secret for Labubus and Art toys! Not only was I able to find Big Energy and CocaCola but the customer service was amazing! The man who helped us, was just as excited to share the history! Overall the store is so cute and the sweet treats look amazing! read more

The store was cute- a little cramped but cute. My ramen broth was cloudy and milky! And the noodles were too thick almost like spaghetti not like typical ramen. The chicken was soggy and too much batter and not enough chicken. Overall I was unhappy and won't be going back read more

Unique place to stop in and grab a bite or a novelty item! Love the ambiance and friendly service.

I came in February and was super excited to try this place out it looked so cute from the pictures. Unfortunately the day we went the guy that was there that day informed us that due to an emergency he wasn't able to make us drinks or anything else since he was just filling in. I think he said he worked across the street at the ramen shop?? (But I'm not 100% sure) It was a little disappointing that we couldn't try any of the drinks we wanted but he was really nice & funny that kind of made up for it. He did make us a Thai & Taro milk tea since they're pretty basic drinks. I definitely want to come back when we're in town to try the stuff on their menu. I really appreciate it when people take the time to give you a really good customer service experience regardless of the circumstances. My 5 stars are solely based on the interaction alone. read more

The atmosphere is really amazing here. I got the chicken karage ramen and it's out of this world good. The broth has great flavor and the chicken has a bit of spice and wonderful texture. The boba tea is passionfruit with lychee boba. So good! read more

I recently visited with my sister, and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the self-pay machine was glitchy and kept pausing, which should have been the first red flag. Despite the issues, we placed our order for two Thai iced teas but somehow received one Thai iced tea and one Thai coffee instead. I politely approached the woman I assumed was the owner and explained the situation, asking if she could correct the drink since their faulty machine caused the error. She curtly replied, "We don't do that here." Confused, I asked about the price difference between the Thai iced tea and the Thai coffee, thinking that might be the issue, but she told me they were priced the same. If the drinks cost the same, why not simply replace it? It felt as though they were trying to save on product costs at the expense of customer satisfaction. I declined the incorrect drink and left it with her. My sister, understandably upset since she paid, went back in to request a refund, only to be told, "We don't do that here." My sister told the woman that the machine wasn't working properly (AGAIN) and proceeded to give my sister a tutorial about the machine. Instead of resolving the issue, she kept pointing out to my sister that I must have placed the wrong order. Even if that were true, why accuse or blame the customer for what was clearly a simple mistake? A professional business would have focused on making things right and pleasing the customer rather than doubling down and creating unnecessary conflict. Also there was no signage indicating a no refund policy, which is misleading and unprofessional. And if there is a sign make it bigger and put it in the front window and the front of the register. Hopefully, after this feedback, they address that issue. Upon looking at other reviews, I noticed this is a pattern with this establishment. The owner has responded to other customers' concerns on google reviews in a condescending and unprofessional manner, calling people "Karens" and even replying to a simple bathroom inquiry with, "You're not that special, buddy." This behavior is completely unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for customers. This isn't the first time they've messed up our order, but I always let it go. After this experience, I will not return and will be warning others to avoid this place. Customer service matters, and this establishment clearly doesn't prioritize it. Zero out of zero everything here. read more

So good! The boba is amazing and there's so many options for little treats. The service was amazing and the staff are so friendly read more

After making the drive up north from the Valley this afternoon, we were a hungry little family! Instead of stopping by one of the usual spots here in town, I checked Yelp and came across this fun and unique little Japanese joint. I can't lie, it took some convincing to get the wife on board, mostly because she's always concerned our picky toddler won't eat anything on the menu. But reminding her that our hearts belong to Tokyo and that if the food was even half as good as the pics in the reviews looked, we would be in very good shape! Plus, although noodles fall behind Dino nuggies in the eyes of our precious baby boy, he can throw down on them if he's in the right mood. Well Dad finally did something right, because this family of 3 was all smiles and slurps as we devoured our food, forcing ourselves to stop eating before joining the clean plate club, knowing the leftovers tomorrow will be equally as fantastic! The super sweet lady behind the counter was helpful and hospitable, and the vibes of this amazing place were immaculate. So much to look at and shop for while the mouthwatering food is prepared, and the options for sweet treats after your meal were endless and far from typical. My son and I indulged in Japanese banana popsicles and they did not disappoint! Yes, this place is small and easy to pass by without noticing, with its unassuming location, but GO HERE and try it. You'll be thrilled you did read more

This afternoon I went to visit this new boba shop that opened up a few months ago. I got a horchata boba & it was pretty good, very sweet. I liked the decor inside however it's a bit overwhelming as it's everywhere. The lady who serviced me was very kind. I think in the areas such as the food display they should leave it clear of decor because it's hard to focus on the food rather than the jewelry above it. read more

Updating this because the drinks have not been as good as they used to be. I normally get the Thai coffee here but the past 5+ times I've gone I've always had to ask for extra cream because the coffee in the drink is so strong and when you mix them the coffee is still consuming the drink and to make it less appetizing you have to constantly adjust the sweetness because the drink used to be sweet. I would like to try this place again but having to modify my drink every time is inconvenient. Not sure if it's just the new way they're making drinks but it's definitely gone down since they first opened. read more

rice things ramen & boba is pretty good tbh the ramen hit the spot and the rice bowls were super filling i got the spicy one and it had good flavor not too salty or anything the boba was fire too esp the brown sugar milk tea lol def worth checking out if ur in the area read more

I'm so mad at myself that I didn't take a picture of my absolutely delicious veg gyoza. The six gyoza ($8) were actually beautiful to look at. My friend had a salad with truffle...she mentioned that it was quite good with just the right amount of truffle. You're probably wondering only three stars?Well, Rice Things had only been open two weeks. As a result, the menu and order kiosk were not very current or informative, the staff was unsure about ingredients and pricing and the food took an unusually long time. I'm hoping they will soon find a good rhythm. Two other thoughts: the food is served in plastic containers. I can only hope they will eventually use traditional plates and cups. And, when they're using some of their blending equipment, it is crazy loud. Be sure to sit toward the back. read more

food was not very good and very pricey. Boba tasted bland and flavorless. The store overall felt very unwelcoming.

Exactly what the name says...we enjoyed our ramen. What sets it apart is the anime merch for sale. If you're looking for an off beat gift for your local anime lover check out this place and get fed while you're there! Friendly staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. read more

Got the corn dog and my kids, who can be picky, ate this up super fast cause they loved it! Also got the best boba and watermelon slush. Got some anime toys and ramen for the house. Def coming back. read more

Good quality items for sale and bakery items were so good!! I got the fruit roll cake with whipped cream and it was very fresh, will definitely be back soon :) read more

Such an amazing interior, which a lively presence. The drinks were amazing and they had so many yummy snack options!

Boba quality was okay, tried the Taro and Matcha milk tea both we're not great the matcha seemed to not have a great flavor of quality matcha and the Taro was overly sweet with little to no resemblance of Taro and when asked to exchange to a different flavor when the drink was only tasted and still had the full amount left I was refused to be exchanged to a different drink. The drinks were not the worst we have ever had however they were not good and very overpriced for low quality boba and milk tea. Awful service but nice owner as she complimented our dog. read more

First time visiting this place and the food was amazing. The chicken ramen broth was legit and the chicken was delicious. Will definitely be going back to try more items on the menu. read more

The drinks were good but outrageously expensive $$$ we got two drinks and it was 27 dollars. Most bars don't charge that for cocktails. We won't go back I don't want to have to get a second job to drink boba. Prices should be somewhat close to Dutch Bros or Starbucks or the other boba places not 4-5$ more per drink read more

My 4 kids are obsessed with boba and are on a quest to find the BEST boba in Flagstaff. They wrote every single boba place on a piece of paper and we're working our way through the list. We've tried quite a few so far and they have decided that Ricethings Vs Ramen N Boba takes the #1 spot! The reasons: large variety of unique boba flavors, large cup size with just the right amount of boba pearls in each cup, really cool environment, super nice workers, fast service and it also has good snacks as well. Oh and not to mention, the boba was "AMAZING!!!" (As all kids said multiple times). We will definitely be making this our go-to spot! read more

a bit pricy for the boba, it was $8 for the strawberry green tea and it's very basic with very little flavor, not that great but the lychee boba helped a little. the place was cute but definitely a bit overpriced for what you get, though that's as expected when you go to a touristy area. if i visit again i'd have to try something else since i was a little disappointed by the strawberry green tea. read more

Desserts are to die for and absolutely amazing. Would absolutely go back in a heartbeat.
