" Honestly, I wasn't blown away by the food at Rice Thief. While the crab was decent, it felt a bit over-marinated for my taste. The service was okay, but I found it to be a bit off at times, making the overall experience a little disappointing. The atmosphere was cozy, though, and the staff was friendly enough. I'd be open to giving it another shot, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem for seafood lovers! The soy marinated crab is incredibly fresh and so flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it! The staff was very friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. The only downside is the seating space can get a bit cramped when it's busy. Overall, a highly recommended spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m usually a big fan of marinated crabs, but I found the ones at Rice Thief to be just okay. They were fresh, but the seasoning didn’t wow me. The service was friendly, but it took longer than expected to get our orders. The ambiance was nice and cozy, but overall, it left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Rice Thief! The vibe was modern and welcoming, and the food was incredible, especially the marinated crab. I loved how fresh it tasted and the service was very prompt.

" I was excited to try Rice Thief after all the hype, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The raw crab was fresh, but I found it too salty and overpowering. The restaurant was busy, and I struggled to get the attention of the waitstaff. The atmosphere was decent, but it felt rushed. Maybe I'll give it another go in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
