★★★★★ 5.0 Deborah Wolley · Jan 2026

I came here for a quick after work meal. I’ve had take-out, but never dine-in before. It’s so cute inside! I got a bowl of miso soup- so large, I took half home. A shrimp tempura roll - very fresh! And chicken eggrolls - hot and delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very nice staff and the restaurant itself is very clean and inviting. There’s a very nice sushi bar area too. I’m especially looking forward to trying more of the sushi rolls. Edit: I came back for more! Won ton soup- delicious! And sweet potato rolls- I will dream of these, I’m sure. So good!

All 4 of us didn't care for the food, sadly: Jasmin Tea-good! Crab Rangoon-standard, runny and needs more crab & seasoning Chicken skewers-ok Poke bowls- beautiful presentation and a good flavor but mostly rice and sauce, hardly any tuna/shrimp (so disappointing), cucumber, seaweed salad, etc . Chow Mein- ok but bland Spider Roll- ok, meh Overall, we were underwhelmed and likely will not return. The place was deserted also and we were the only people there on a Tuesday at 6:30pm which felt a little weird. Lastly the bathroom is very dimly lit and not friendly to someone with low vision.

We have dined here multiple times and have always had an amazing experience, with fantastic food consistently. During this visit, we decided to try the all-you-can-eat sushi for the first time, and it was absolutely worth it. I also want to specifically commend our server, Maya, who was friendly and provided exceptional service throughout our meal. Additionally, we were very impressed by Andrew; although he was not our primary server, he was incredibly polite and consistently checked in on us to ensure we were well taken care of. I definitely recommend this place.

Little Rice is a solid choice for classic Chinese food, whether you're getting takeout or dining in. It's nothing fancy, but they deliver on the staples. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the food is consistently good. The service is friendly and efficient, and the dining room is clean and comfortable. It's perfect for a weeknight when you don't feel like cooking, or for a casual meal with friends or family. The fried rice wasn't great, and the orange chicken lacked a bit of flavor, but the sweet and sour chicken was delicious! Overall, we had a great experience and will probably go back... if we're ever in the area. Update!!! We went back several times, and... this is our new spot when we don't feel like cooking. Went from 3 stars to 4 stars as usual. Great service. Love

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Michael Wiggenhorn · Apr 2025

After seeing a lot of reviews on how good it is we decided to try it.... The service was fine and very friendly. The egg rolls were ok, not great but good, the Crab ragoon was very tasty. Had the Hibachi steak and scallops which was just OK. Everything was covered in a sauce and I wasn't sure what kind of sauce it was... The steak, veggies and scallops all tasted the same....would of been great to have the sauce on the side. If go back I will have try the sushi 🍣!
