Rice Bar — Restaurant in Washington

I love Rice Bar! I'm not one to eat out for lunch often, but Rice Bar has secured a spot in one of my "treat-yo'self" favorites. Rice Bar's services works similarly to other fast casual service-line restaurants, such as Chipotle; you start with an order slip that you check off what you'd like, you hand it to one of the employees, and your order is put together and moved down the line while you watch the action. It can be a little overwhelming putting together your order at first, especially if you aren't familiar with typical Korean fare, but the staff is super helpful with explanations and recommendations. Service is super quick; even with a line out the door I've never waited more than about 10-15 minutes to get my order. The food is also very reasonably priced; expect to spend around 10 bucks, depending on what you order, and the portions have always been enough to completely fill me up, and I usually eat A LOT. I just wish there was a bit more seating available, as I also really like the restaurant's decor and wouldn't mind eating my lunch there, but the place is already filled to brim with tables and chairs, so it's not like this is something that could really be changed at this location. There are a few tables outside, which is great, but be wary of trying to find a seat here during peak lunch hours. Regardless, Rice Bar is still fantastic and I'm already looking forward to my...

Came to chow down here with my friend. We randomly decided to meet up here and I'm glad we did!

I walked in and was welcomed by their workers. They have an interesting way for you to order your food. You can choose from 3 types of bases (rice, noodles, or gluten free). These are reflected by the 3 different pieces of paper you order from. From there you choose your additional toppings like assorted veggies, proteins, sauces, and anything extra. Then you hand them your paper and they grab everything you ordered together.

Since this was our first time, we had lots of questions on what tastes good, what doesn't and how things looked. They were super nice and patient with us. They gave us very good recommendations I ordered the spicy chicken protein with udon noodles and some additional toppings. This was delicious so if you're looking for something good, try the udon noodles and spicy chicken! I've heard the bulgogi was good too.

Also a chill ambiance to eat at if you'd like to. Would...

We tried BBQ bowl and Tofu bowl last tuesday. My families are bibimbap lovers and were never disappointed at any bibimbob places before. So we are so excited to find this place on google and made a special trip to have lunch here during our one week travel in DC. Clean and nice place, nice people and service. But the taste is not authentic korean. The brown rice and bulgogi's taste are NOT cooked in authentic korean style. My two sons are always big eaters, and it was the first time they didn't finish the half of bibimbap. We are Korean, and I know how to cook Korean foods. It looks like korean bibimbob, but some what fusion style. As Korean, I'm still happy for them to keep a great review. The next day, we had dinner at Bibibob at Dupont Circle. Bibibob is a perfectly great Korean bibimbob. So does Gogobop at LA Koreatown(UCLA), where we tried two weeks ago. RiceBar, the business looks already successful, but the taste could be more amazing, I believe. Good luck with...
