I've only tried the pulled pork but its pretty good especially with the spicy bbq sauce. The sides weren't anything special but did add nice balance of acidity of freshness beside the rice and meat. I wished there was a little more meat to rice though. I'll probably just get the meat by the pound next time!

Good if you are a meat lover. Service is excellent. And we love their brisket and burnt end, very tasty.

Wow, twice in one trip! We enjoyed our first visit to Ricewood so much, we planned another meal there before we left for AZ. First visit was a Sunday lunch, they were out of almost everything. I enjoyed the tofu bowl, while the rest of my party all had burgers. On the second trip we all ordered brisket bowls. The rice base is seasoned and includes small chopped scallions and tomatoes, but for veggies there is a choice of slaw, pickles, etc in the bowl. The brisket was huge nearly slabs, very little waste and super tender. The bark is a salty spicy Asian seasoning and so unique! What a great value, portion and quality for a walk up shared seating kind of venue. Very crowded at peak times, but don't let that or their limited parking deter your from trying it!

I was recommended to come here by a coworker. Didn't think much of it until I looked up and read the high ranked reviews. So I decided to finally swing by this place for lunch. I did have a confusing time finding where this place was. There was no parking in the front, so I drove to the back of the building and that's where I saw the entrance and the giant grill. Luckily that's where I found parking as well. I walked in the building and took a look around as I searched for ricewood. The ordering window was located in the front of the building, of course. Service was amazing. The guys were so cool and down to earth. I couldn't decide between the pork belly and brisket bowl, so I got both with the cucumbers and cabbage. I waited no more than 10 minutes before my food was ready. I tried the pork belly first. It was decent. I then tried the brisket and my whole body melted to the floor. Hands down, that has to be some of the best brisket I've ever tasted. I couldn't stop eating it! It was beyond delicious! And when you eat all the ingredients together in one bite, it's like heaven in your mouth. I only planned on eating half the bowl for lunch and the other half for dinner. That plan went straight out the window! It was just too good! I'm very impressed with the flavor profile of this establishment. I'm confident I'll be returning for more of this outrageously scrumptious brisket!

Excellent place. Small menu but totally awesome and caters to most of us. Good idea for the pickup or a casual dining. The inside eating place is shared with a Deli place and outside eating area is shared too with a funky nice setting. We went for lunch and were able to secure a seat inside for 4 easily. I ordered OG Veggie Bowl with low spice. It was really amazing and flavorful. Unlike other places, the bottom portion of rice was not plain- flavorful from top to every grain of the rice. The server rightfully warned about the spice LEVEL. Dare you to order spicy level. Medium was super good and tasty but as expected, it was spicy but perfect with the potato chips. OG Veggie bowl comes with all 4 choices of veggie bombs - pickled onions, sesame cucumber, red cabbage slaw and house kimchi - all super delicious !!!

I'm really glad I didn't write a review the first time I came because I didn't understand the concept. I heard Ricewood has the best brisket in town but somehow missed the memo it was Asian fusion with rice and I expected to have traditional BBQ with Mac and cheese and other southern sides. Thankfully, I decided to come back again after my brain caught up. Since, I've ordered the brisket and the pork belly bowls. My oh my. The brisket is good, but the pork belly is To. Die. For. The rice and veggies are delicious. We typically order takeout and have had a great experience each time.

We came here about 45 min before closing and many items were sold out. Luckily we LOVED the pulled pork. We both had rice bowls. Mine with pickles red onions and cabbage slow and my son got house kimchi. We both got mild spice. It creeps up on you in a tasty way! We plan to come back again (and again) but way earlier to try the other proteins. The green iced tea was great too.

Had their special burger, delicious. Thick burger patty and lovely fatty mayo and veggies to balance it all out. Burger was cooked med/med rare (no option for personalized doneness). Personally I prefer a bit more cooked patty but alas it was still excellent. Cashier was friendly and knowledgeable as always.

This Ricewood location is inside York, one of my favorite cafes in Ann Arbor. As with York, I appreciate the outdoor seating area. I've only tried the pork belly, which is solid, but I'm not a fan of sauce that is drizzled on top. Next time, I will ask that no sauce be added to my meat. I think the rice bowls are overpriced for the amount of meat provided, which is why the second time I visited, I ordered only meat by the pound. I am seconding what another Yelper recommended: skip the rice bowl. I'd say just order the meat, take it home, and prepare your own rice and vegetables.
