The Rice Bowl, Ramen and Sushi — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

Had lunch here today. Overall I'd give it 3.5 stars... I mean it wasn't great...but it wasn't bad either. The ordering process was pleasant with friendly employees. I ordered a fountain drink and they have one of those machines that dispenses any soft drink you want at the touch of a button so that's nice.

I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl large size. It came with vegetables that were pretty tasty. I also ordered with brown rice and the rice was fine no problems.

It tastes a little bland to me and although it looked like a lot, when you actually separated the vegetables away the chicken only took up about half the bowl area...i would've expected more from a large size serving...they gave extra sauce cups which was nice (I ordered to go) but even after emptying both sauce cups on the rice and chicken it still was a little lacking in flavor. Again it didn't taste bad...it just didn't have a whole lot of taste.

I miss the other girl that left. It’s difficult to find staff that connects with the customers. And it is one of the main reasons people go back to a place. The food, the service, and the atmosphere depend on who is working when I go there, so I am not going...

Recently, I visited Silverlake Ramen in Manhattan Beach, which was good, but this place? It’s on a whole different level—more authentic, more flavorful, and incredibly affordable.

I happened to spot a ramen poster near CVS and decided to give it a shot, and I couldn’t be happier that I did! The taste was shockingly authentic, just like the real ramen you’d find in Japan.

If you’re a ramen lover in the area, this place is an...
