Ricewood is on another level. The brisket? Unreal. The pork belly? Absolutely insane. Easily some of the best BBQ I’ve had in Michigan. And let’s talk about that barbecue sauce — finally one that isn’t overly sweet. It’s bold, balanced, and packed with flavor. The veggie sides completely stole the show. The pickled red onions and the red cabbage slaw were bright, fresh, and perfectly tangy. And the whole pickles? Next level. Every bite was a moment. This place is a hidden gem, and I will 100% be back. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

Excellent BBQ/Asian fusion style bowls, good waffle fries - and a nice selection of sugar cane sodas to choose from as a fountain drink. Friendly staff too! Seating isnt the greatest but no complaints here. My favorite thing about ordering from you guys was that you didn't skimp/cheap out on the brisket!!! You hooked it up for 20 dollars, where there are actual BBQ places here in the mitten that are stingy with what you pay for. The brisket itself was some of the best I've ran into in Michigan!!! I could totally come back and buy just the brisket alone ❤️ You guys should consider branching out into a separate dedicated BBQ place, I think you'd do well!

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while since I work around the corner and I wholeheartedly regret not coming sooner! The food, customer service and even music (while I waited) was perfection. I ordered the ribs bowl with cucumbers and pickled onions. I was also able to try the lemonade and tea and that was tasty as well. The young lady taking my order was super friendly and good at making recommendations. Thank you to the staff for an excellent dinner and I’ll for sure be a regular

The idea of having brisket on rice is 10/10 🔥 Food came out super quickly after we got our drinks, and was delish. The meat was tender and everything you'd want in BBQ meat.

I only get pick up here some can't speak on Atmosphere, but the food...I don't want to say how good it is, either by taste or value, because I want to keep it secret, but I can't! SSSOOOOO GOOD! Be advised if you truly like spicy and I am not talking about fake spicy but the real thing that will clear out your sinuses and make you cry a little bit, then go for the max. Otherwise choose wisely. One of my favorite spots for food. Lately my bowls have seemed packed to the gills which give me 2 servings so I appreciate it. Always tastes fresh. Service super fast. Nice folks as well. Thanks and see you again soon!
