The moment you step inside, you feel like you’re in an Apple store — modern, bright and simple.  You’ll also notice colorful bowls and ‘spoons’ that get filled up with rice pudding…made of hard plastic (so sturdy I decided to keep it!) Kawaii!

Review: The rice pudding was pretty darn good!  We tried the mango, vanilla and cheese cake — all very true to their flavors, moist, light and appetizing.  While on the pricier side ($5), it was a great place to have such a unique treat.  Also, even the small size Solo (1 serving) could easily satisfy 2-3 people.  Boy were we full after this stop!

The glowing orange tables hang from the ceiling!  Tres chic!

 

Hungry Cactus’ final verdict for Rice to Riches: A- 

I never knew rice pudding could be so good (but yet pricey)!!! =P  I would go there again, but definitely not alone.
