Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This was my second time eating here, and I'm leaving this review under my second account (see the review under No Way for my review of the first time I ate here). I came here with my parents for a birthday celebratory lunch, and we arrived at about 12:00 PM. My mom ordered Fried Cauliflower Bites and Hibachi Grill Chicken. My dad ordered a Broccoli Salad, Spicy Cucumber Salad, and Korean Corn Dog (regular style with just a hot dog). The Broccoli Salad isn't on the kiosk for some reason, so the person at the front had to ring it up for him. My dad could had the broccoli steamed or cold, and he opted to have it cold. I ordered the Fried-Dumplings and 2 Korean Corn Dogs (both with potatoes, and both with half hot dog and half cheese). My Fried Dumplings took 4 minutes and 25 seconds to arrive, and my Korean Corn Dogs took 6 minutes to arrive. My dad and I tried his Broccoli Salad and Spicy Cucumber Salad. My dad didn't care for the Spicy Cucumber Salad, and even though he wished he got it steamed, he still liked the Broccoli Salad. I liked both of his items, but I do think the Broccoli Salad was superior. My parents and I tried the Fried Cauliflower Bites, and we all liked the bites. My mom was able to pick sauces to go with the bites, but unfortunately I don't remember what they were. Both my Korean corn dogs were great like last time, and while my dad liked his Korean Corn Dog, I don't think he thought it was anything special (most likely because it wasn't the potato one that was half hot dog and half cheese [I tried to convince him to get that, but he wouldn't listen]). My mom seemed to REALLY like her Hibachi Grill Chicken, and she is a frustratingly picky eater, so that's high praise from her. The owner (I believe) once again came out to ask how everything was, and not only did she remember me from the first time I came by, she said that positive review had apparently been bringing people in. I informed her that this was a celebratory birthday lunch, and she gave us 3 canned Korean beverages for free, which was incredibly kind of her. We took them to my home and did a taste test of them. The 3 flavors were Rice Punch, Peach, and Pear. The Rice Punch one had some kind of grain or seeds in it, and both the Peach and Pear ones had pulp in it. None of them are carbonated. The Rice Punch one was our least favorite (its very sweet). My mom liked the Peach flavor the most, whereas my dad and I liked the Pear flavor the most. This second visit to Rice N' Go was once again a great dining experience that my parents and I very much enjoyed. My mom also asked me to mention that she had to take her lunch home and had to finish it in 2 separate sittings. While she isn't a big eater, it did look like her lunch was very generous with the portions. My mom also said she is going to recommend this place to a work friend of hers that lives in the Cleveland area.

I arrived at 7:00 PM on a Sunday night. This is a place where you order and pay at the front kiosk, and then you seat yourself. They only had 1 unisex bathroom, but it was fairly big, well kept, and offered paper towels. Also, they had a TV playing K-Pop music videos. This place offers Korean Corn Dogs, but only from Friday night's to Sunday closing. So if you want one of those, you have to eat here between that timeframe. Also, if you do order a Korean Corn Dog, you pick up to 3 sauces/toppings to come with your order. I ordered the Kimchi Pancakes as an appetizer, 1 K-Style "Mozzarella" dog (which is basically a Korean Corn Dog if you replaced the hot dog with just mozzarella), and 1 K-Style Potato Corn Dog. Also, if you get a water cup with your order, the water is self served from a big lemon water infuser. The Kimchi Pancakes took 5 minutes to arrive, and the Korean Corn Dogs took 7 minutes and 15 seconds for both to arrive. All the food was great and well worth the last minute decision to eat here. A female employee who I suspect may have been the owner also came out to check and see if everything was good or if I needed more sauce. Overall, despite the fact that I arrived 1 hour before closing, the staff were still friendly and the service was great. Check this place out.

I will never stop raving about how good this place is. The food is absolutely astonishing: delicious flavors (especially the sauces!!) and perfectly cooked every single time. The service is convenient and quick, and the portion sizes are huge! You 110% get what you pay for, my go-to restaurant any time I’m able to treat myself. I could honestly go on and on about this place but suffice it to say. 10/10 ✨ (side note: do yourself a favor and get the beef bulgolgi at least once!! 🤤)
