What reviewers say about Ice or Rice Cafe
People say this restaurant serves delicious onigiri, okonomiyaki, sushi rolls, and shaved ice. They highlight the fresh ingredients, generous portions, and affordable prices. They also like the friendly staff and clean atmosphere.
“Came here to try the kakigōri, or shaved ice. They offer it in your choice of a strawberry or mango flavor. I tried the mango, and it was really nice. Lots of fresh cut mango, shaved ice with mango syrup, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was a bit expensive, $9.99 plus tax, but it had a great taste, and it’s definitely big enough to share with another person.”
“Great little find while I was walking around this afternoon. The onigiri was great, and the okonomiyaki was something I’ve never tasted, heard of, or seen before. It was absolutely delicious and I will be coming back for more sometime! Staff were super friendly as well. I believe they said it was the only place around that you could get it, so I think it’s definitely worth a visit.”
“Came here at the behest of my daughters. We came strictly for dessert after having declined the dessert option after dinner at a different restaurant. We got 3 items to share: coffee jelly, Japanese flan, and… At first we tried to order their mango shaved ice. The owner said that she can make it for us, but suggested that since mangoes are not in season, they don’t taste the greatest right now, so she suggested strawberries. Makes sense, so we went with it. The coffee jelly was strong and creamy. It was good. The flan was also very good. Being Filipino, I’m used to a richer and silkier flan. This Japanese version was lighter, but still pretty silky. The strawberry shaved ice is huge! Good for sharing. Their shaved ice is such a fine and perfect texture that I’ve never had anywhere else. Usually, shaved ice I’ve had in the past is at least partially crunchy. Their shaved ice here is very fine - like freshly fallen, powdery snow. Great stuff! Will be back!”
