We were looking to get in and out of somewhere quick because we had Chriss Angel tickets (bleh). Rice and Company was not busy at all, and near the Believe theatre so we decided that was the place to go. There were six of us and we all loved it. I'm kind of surprised by all of the negative reviews.
First of all we were seated right away as they were not busy at all. Our server as attentive and very helpful. I love sushi and when I started reading the descriptions in the menu, I couldn't decide what to get. It all sounded amazing. I got the philadelphia roll because I love salmon and I'd never had cream cheese with sushi before. My brother-in-law got the Sexy Lady. We shared and they were both outstanding. I was completely in love with the philadelphia roll. I'm a huge fan of wasabi and it was amazing combined with the flavor of the cream cheese. So good! The Sexy Lady was so good too. Amazing flavor combinations. My husband had the kung pao chicken and enjoyed it. I had a few bites and was impressed because it was just the right amount of spicey without overpowering the dish.
I lived in Japan for 9 years and Rice & Company was the best sushi I've had. Or maybe I've just been in the states too long now (since 2007) and I've become acclimated to the mediocre sushi places here and so Rice & Company stands out. Whatever the reason, I loved the two varieties I tried and cannot wait to go back to try more.
But seeing as their prices are crazy expensive, I won't be going back soon and that is the reason I gave four stars.
