Foods amazing and so fresh. Service they truly enjoy the people that dine in their restaurant.Smiles greet you & the owners are absolutely wonderful people.Truly worth the trip and you'll find no one compares.

Just found my FAVORITE sushi spot in Westchase area.. maybe all of Tampa! OMG! the sushi was fantastic. I can be critical when it comes to sushi because it's literally my favorite food and I could eat it everyday. This place blew me away. Great sushi in Tampa Bay in general is hard to find so I was so excited to try this place because of the raving reviews. I am so glad I did because it was so delicious. The rice was pillowy soft and melted in your mouth. The fish was smooth like butter. The flavors all mixed so well. I devoured my rolls! I also got stir fry wide noodles with veggies, another delicious dish! Had plenty of leftovers the next day! I will be a regular for sure. Give this place a try if you haven't!!

We started our evening with the spicy tuna rice cakes. They were so unique and my favorite part of the meal. The rice squares seemed deep fried so they were crunchy on the outside with tender rice inside. It was topped with minced tuna and a slice of jalapeño.For our rolls, we tried the Red Dragon, Black Dragon, and Tokyo Red Light. Black dragon was our favorite because of the sweetness of the eel. The other two were subpar.Unfortunately, I was expecting better quality and value for the high Yelp rating.

Finally stopped in to Rice and Spice after driving by it every day on my way home. Once I saw their amazing reviews, I made it a priority to try it!! The restaurant is located in a very unassuming strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The inside is warm and inviting with comfortable dining chairs and bar seating available. Our server was so friendly and accommodating! We started with the Thom Kha Gai soup, but requested two smaller bowls so we could share it. The soup was so flavorful! For dinner, we had the yellow curry and the tipsy noodles. One of us went very spicy and one went medium - both were very good! Not overdone and lots of flavor. The chef even came out to check on us and ask how our meals were. Our server recommended that we come back for sushi because that is what they are known for! Given that I live so close to this gem of a place, I see myself becoming a regular very quickly. Check it out!

I regret... that I don't dine here more often. It's close to home, the food is delicious, and the service is fantastic. You cannot go wrong with whatever you choose from their menu. I'll be sure to make this a regular weeknight spot in 2025.

We have now been there twice with the same results. Fantastic service. Fresh and awesome food in a great atmosphere. We will continue to go back.

Constantly top quality food, presentation, and service. We were immediately treated as family here, even getting to meet and chat with the owner. He shared his passion for food with us, and was very proud of what did at the establishment. Don't let the simple layout of the place fool you, the food speaks for itself!

Absolutely love it here. Owners really take the time to know their customers and you can tell how much they love owning this restaurant. Have been here twice and both times we feel like we are sitting at a meal with family. The sushi is yummy, the fish is to die for, and the ponzu sauce is VERY yummy. We will be back! If you are in the area, def support them.

Great place to get dinner.I am clearly slacking, because I came here with a group of friends and didn't write a review! That meant when we came again, I didn't remember what I thought of the dishes. I'm not making that mistake this time, so here's what we got and what I thought.R&S Special Salad - this was delicious. It isn't a traditional salad, but closer to a papaya salad (which they also have on the menu). I loved it and would get it again.Pad Sa Ew with beef - the beef was so tender, which isn't always the case in noodle dishes. I was really impressed and the noodles were also perfectly cooked. Another must get in my opinion.Gai Yarng - you cut the chicken yourself, which is kind of neat. I found it slightly overcooked so I'd skip next time, but mainly because there's other awesome things on this menu. I did really like the laotian sticky rice.Menages A Trois - this is a sushi boat with spicy tuna, JB Deluxe roll, shrimp tempura roll, 12 pcs Nigiri and 12 pcs Sashimi. This is definitely a favorite of mine. I think it's a great combination for a boat and the presentation is beautiful. When I'm with a big group I'd get this every time.This restaurant isn't that big, but I've never had a problem getting a table right away (I've only been here on weeknights though). The parking lot also have lots of space. I think this is one of the best restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend checking it out.

This restaurant has rapidly become one of our favorites. For so many reasons!Starts with a warm welcome, always! Everything on the menu can be customized. So the variation is endless.The food is both delicate and very delicious. Our goal to explore the entire menu. It's our mission. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem.
