Doing what I can to support Small Business, and this was a great find! So first off, we ordered online, thet dont have all the options online because a lot of items you can choose Bowl or Wrap. Example, wife ordered a Cocaine chicken bowl but wanted a wrap. So she put in special instructions to make it a wrap. They did it no problem.
We ended up getting 5 items and everybody loved it. The Angry sauce was not spicy, wish it was, but alas....no. Don't get me wrong, it still tasted great, but it can be better! We got Mom's Touch Meatloaf, Dope Pork Wrap, RJ Crunch Pork and 1 bowl and a Cocaine Chicken (Bowl) Wrap.
I give this place 5 stars but hope they improve even more to keep it. Will be back again!
Little advice to management: Make online ordering a little easier with making bowl or wrap an option in your selection like you do for sauce and type of rice. Add a bit more macaroni in wrap and definitely in bowl. Couple random pieces doesnt really make it noticeable. Menu in store and online should say what sauces are...little blurb about what it is. I.e. Angry sauce is...
Read moreI really wanted to like this place. I think it’s got great decor (efficient in how they used the space), hardworking staff, and is incredibly instagramable (both in terms of the wings on the wall while you wait and the way the food is presented and packaged).
We ordered a bunch of items: fish cake kimbap, onigiris, rice cakes, the combo Issac and the bulgogi sandwich. The onigiris and the kimbap were probably the most appetizing - but nothing extraordinary. The rice cakes were also okay, but a little pricey for its portion size. The sandwiches, however, felt like they were constructed for the snap/gram: great colors and great variety of items stuffed in. Taste-wise, I think it tried too hard to mix in western flavors and was a little too greasy. The bulgogi sandwich almost tasted like a Philly cheesesteak but with very sweet beef. Meanwhile, the jam/sauce of the Issac sandwich similarly took away from the overall sandwich. Great for sharing, but probably too much as an...

I enjoyed the egg-salad sandwich with ham, cucumber, corn, and buttered wheat bread quite a lot. The pork bulgogi onigiri had great flavor, and I was quite impressed by the inventive wrap that separates the nori so that it doesn't get damp.
I was not quite so excited by the bacon kimbob, in part because I like my bacon crispy and this wasn't quite there. It's also quite dry.
Other Rice Junkies in the Bay Area have a specialty wrap with macaroni salad and a range of sauces, but this seems to be the first one that they're experimenting with toast-based items more. I did not try the Issac toast, which is their signature item here that features an omelet inside of bread. I would go back...
