" Rice & Nori has become my go-to for quick, delicious meals! I ordered the assorted onigiri set and it was incredible. Each bite was packed with flavor and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The staff is quick and polite. I loved how clean and modern the place is. I would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rice & Nori has such a nice selection, but my last visit was somewhat disappointing. The onigiri were tasty but again, a bit overpriced for the size. The staff were friendly but forgot my order, making the wait longer than expected. I hope they can improve on this! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Rice & Nori a couple of times now, and each time it’s been a lovely experience. The onigiri are always fresh, and the service has been consistently good. I love that they offer unique flavors that I can’t find anywhere else. Worth a stop if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find! The flavors in the hand rolls were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the spicy shrimp and the atmosphere was cheerful. Service was a tad slow, but I felt it was worth the wait as they prepare everything fresh. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rice & Nori has a nice variety of onigiri. I specially enjoyed the spicy eggplant onigiri. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service as it was quite slow during my visit. The place was packed, so maybe that's why. The food was still worth the wait, but I hope they can streamline their service soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pleasant experience at Rice & Nori! The ambiance is trendy and cozy, which makes it a great spot for lunch. I tried the spicy tuna hand roll and found it fresh and delicious. However, I felt the portion sizes could be slightly larger for the price. Still, I would definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Rice & Nori given its reputation, but my experience was lackluster. The food was average and felt overpriced for what I got. Service was decent, but nothing stood out. I might give it another shot, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
