Rice Blvd

What a great place! There was a mix up on the order we called in and not only did they let me keep the sushi they gave me the item I didn’t get and get the price difference. Amazing customer service and such delicious sushi as well. Recommend highly!!!

We really liked it here. The miso soup was flavorful and not too salty. We ordered two sushi rolls and bibimbop for our main course, and both were delicious. The prices are very good too.

I. Love. This. Place. While it is right next to UT and is very collegy, it’s still a great place to eat and has very high-​quality food. The staff are all extremely friendly. There’s not a lot of seating inside but when it’s nice out, there are a few tables you can choose from to sit at. Great sushi and really good bento boxes. I can go there any time and try anything and not be disappointed. If you are adventurous with sushi, try the Troy roll. One of my favorites I’ve ever had in my life. So good.

Best in Toledo area by far. Prices great, staff great, clean and easy going. Best value is the biggest bibimbop. My 7 year old loves the crunchy shrimp rolls. Ice cream is small and adorable.

I was never one for sushi until I tried this place. I have been there three other times since my first encounter. I have ordered different things from the menu and everything i tasted was so good which I was impressed. They definitely have the triple threat with good food, good service, and a good dinning area. The dinning is small but can be great for smaller groups.

this is the best valuable sushi and Asian cuisine restaurant in town. I used to eat there 3 pm or 8 pm but still crowded. The most expensive rolls, Holy Toledo is priced at $ 10.95. but you should pay more at most Sushi restaurants in town. Most Sushi rolls are reasonably priced. In addition to a variety of sushi options, other Asian fusion dishes are great. Yesterday, I and my son ate regular Bibimbom and Beef Stone (Bibimbom in stone) which were excellent and fresh. Most non-​Sushi dishes are below $ 10.00. I assumed that this restaurant was mostly for UT students but old customers are coming. I enjoyed its bright light, music, and friendly service, too.

Just moved to Toledo a few months ago and this is my go-​to sushi spot! The sushi is reasonably priced and taste fresh. My favorite rolls are the cherry blossom and jalapeño salmon. The bento boxes are also delicious and decently sized. Along with that, the employees are always extremely friendly!

Good ingredients, fairly priced, nice atmosphere. Takes a little long to get your food even when no one else is waiting, but it’s not bad. I tend to get the Teriyaki bowl the most, it’s simple and done well. Never been a huge fan of sushi, but of the ones I’ve tried there from my friends, they have been pretty good.

Love this place! I probably eat here at least every 2 weeks. Place is always clean. People are always friendly and the food is consistently delicious! (The prices aren’t too bad either). Plus they are conscious of the college students tight pockets and don’t accept tips despite their definite tip worthiness.

Based on the location and reviews, I thought I would give this place a try. Very small, very casual and seemingly caters to the University of Toledo students. I ordered the Ochard and Holy Toledo rolls at $ 10.95 each. I thought it was a bit pricey for the «fast food» atmosphere (you order at the register) but was hopeful the quality and size of the rolls would exceed my expectations.
I am sorry Rice Blvd, but you over-​promised and under-​delivered! I guess I have been spoiled by Nagoya located in Levis Commons, Perrysburg. The rolls brought to my table were not much larger than a silver dollar and after spending $ 23, I left hungry. Until I find a really good sushi bar in Toledo that is in the same category as Nagoya, I guess I will make the drive to Perrysburg when I have a craving for quality sushi at a fair price…

Very clean, friendly, straight forward Asian food joint geared towards students. Dishes are reasonably priced. Dol sot bibimbop is good. Easily accessible with parking lot in the rear. Convenient, fast, and cheap. Thumbs up.

I had my doubts about ever finding good sushi in the Midwest. While Rice Blvd isn’t great, it is certainly acceptable.
My wife and I ordered miso soup and three rolls, a basic tuna and two specials, the Holy Toledo and the Ruby. The Ruby was good including spicy crab that was the right spicy and tuna that was fresh. The Holy Toledo included shrimp tempura, avocado, spicy tuna and some kind of sauce on top. It was not particularly flavorful, but it wasn’t bad. The basic tuna roll was super basic, looking like convenience store sushi, though tasting better.
The miso soup may best summarize the food. It was fine. It had all the right ingredients. Nothing in it tasted bad. But it just did not sing. Japanese food is one of my favorites and this was not an exciting meal. It got the job done.
The menu is a little small with no sashimi and only rolls available. The prices are very average for sushi with basic rolls running around $ 4 – 6 and special ones around $ 10. The service was friendly and helpful and the décor had a bright clean feeling.
There is nothing bad about Rice Blvd and a few things are good, but nothing was great.

This place is a little gem. The restaurant is actually pretty small and plain but the service and food make it outstanding. You order and pay for your food at the counter. Your food is brought out to your table when it is ready. We ordered shrimp tempura udon, panko chicken curry, jalapeño salmon sushi and dynamite sushi. When I say we, it was just my boyfriend and I and we wanted to try a lot but realized we had ordered way too much food. You get a huge amount of food for a very fair price. Our food was excellent! I am a huge sushi fan and it was some of the best I’ve had. The people there are very friendly and it’s just a great place overall. Would highly recommend.

5 stars for awesome menu choice, amazing customer service, & most importantly with this town being primarily college students their prices are very good for the amount of food given!

Very good sushi. Order at a counter and it is brought out to you. Fast and fresh. Prices are not cheapest but you really shouldn’t eat cheap sushi. Spicy tuna is spot on and they have this tempura spicy roll that’s great, big! Also plate options as well. Good spot for sushi.

I pray for summer and winter breaks to come, just so I can get great sushi at a reasonable price without the ridiculous wait. Being on the campus is great for the business, but is terrible for those of use above the age of 22.
Everything is fantastic, fresh and friendly. Just wait until the college crowd returns to their parents’ houses before going, unless you don’t mind the 30 – 45 minute wait.

I probably shouldn’t write a good review because that means you’ll go there too and once again I’ll have a hard time getting a seat. :)
Seriously, it’s really a great place. I do wish it was bigger. It seems to always be busy. Even at 7 we (family of 3) could not get a table, BUT it wasn’t long of a wait and it was truly worth it.
My son got a fried salmon roll that was fantastic. My husband got a bento box of goodies that he loved. I had bibimbap which, if you see my other reviews, is clearly an addiction of mine. I even make it at home authentic style so I am a bit of a bibimbap snob. This meal did not disappoint. I will definitely be ordering this again. I really wanted some bon chon side dishes but this place is run more like a Japanese sushi joint even though, like most sushi joints in Toledo, it is run by Koreans. This American ahjumma was ok with that because all of the food is really yummy.
Best of all, I get to report that the prices are very reasonable and the ingredients are fresh. I’ve been here twice now and the workers are always very kind and helpful. I look forward to going back.
There was one single downside to this experience and it is not the restaurant’s fault. Both times that I went there, I sat next to very loud people. Two young women were right across from each other at a small table next to us yelling about classes as if they were half a football field apart. I wanted to scream: INSIDE VOICES PLEASE. I really want to defend America when other countries call us loud but what can I say, they are right. People are NOT as aware or polite about this as they should be. Next time I go, and I will of course go back, I will do my best to go at a less busy time and sit away from inconsiderate loud mouths.

This is the type of place you walk in and you know the food is good. The freshness of the smells as well as the décor, makes for a refreshing experience. I came here with some friends curious to know what this place was about. Even though the place is small, the food was totally worth the space.
I ended up getting the spicy chicken bento box me tell you everything was perfect. I really enjoyed the freshness of the ginger salad and the light spice of the chicken. The little California rolls were tasty.
The only thing that bothered me was the melancholy music that they played which I guess was suppose to make you feel relaxed but to me it only made me feel weird. But in any case go here and eat!

Great place for sushi and/​or Korean food if you just want a casual place to eat. Rolls are reasonably priced, and if you’re not in the mood for sushi, I definitely recommend the Stone Bowl Bibimbap. Super tasty, and it’s brought out in a sizzling bowl. Bento box is nice too if you want a little bit of everything. Food comes out relatively fast too. Definitely worth trying.

Started with a delicious bowl of miso soup for under $ 2. Miso isn’t much to brag about, but this had a deep, rich flavor, was served hot and avoided the trap some find of just being tasty luke warm water.
Before our meals came, the server brought us out a bowl of edamame, which we did not order, and apologized in advance for the wait. They just had a large carryout order called in. The advance gesture was rare, thoughtful, and more than kind.
I ordered a rainbow roll and an Alaskan roll. While I wasn’t wildly impressed with either, they were both good, especially for the price. Some of the fish wasn’t as fresh as I’d expected, it was mushy and tasteless, the salmon in particular. The tuna, however was firm and fantastic. My expectations may have been a bit hyped, but I found myself with very little to say about the sushi. However, bonus points for having low sodium soy sauce right on the table.
The highlight if our meal was my girlfriends order, the bento box with spicy chicken. For $ 10, it’s a ton of food, plenty to take home. The spicy chicken was easily the best thing we tried. It had a nice mixture of spicy, but not too spicy, a touch of sweetness, and a bold rich flavor that I suspect was a mixture of hoisin sauce and sriracha? I’m not sure, but it was a perfectly balanced flavor mixed over sliced fresh chicken and sautéed onions, served with a side of rice. The bento box also came with a tasty dumpling and a few other interesting appetizer samplers, all pretty delicious, with a side of ginger salad, and a California roll. It was very good and a great deal for the price.
The service was friendly and welcoming, but there were a few minor mishaps, including overlooking our request for no avocado in the box meal due to my girlfriend’s allergy. They brought the meal out with avocado, we sent it back, no problem, it came back fast and they remade the California roll that had the avocado. No big deal, except when she finished eating she realized they put the new roll on the old roll leftovers, which meant avocado smeared on the tray and on the remade roll. A little higher sensitivity toward allergy requests would be appreciated.
Last, we ordered the Japanese Fried Chicken appetizer based on a number of Unilocal reviews. It came out after our meal due to a mix up at the register, not a big deal to me. It was ok, bite sized sliced fried dark meat chicken in a light batter served with a side of sweet & sour sauce. It had a peculiar flavor that wasn’t really good or bad. I wasn’t impressed and likely wouldn’t order it again.
Rice Blvd is affordable, the atmosphere is clean and simple, the service is friendly, and the food was pretty good, though it didn’t meet my expectations based on recommendations. I’ll definitely be going back and giving it another shot, maybe it was just a rough night. Next time I might spend more time looking at the meals rather than the sushi, though. Or, at least ask for a recommendation from the chef. Regardless, affordable healthy food is always welcome in Toledo, where it’s rarer than the fish atop those rolls I ate tonight.
Well worth a try and a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
