Rice Market is a super stylish Asian specialty grocery store and restaurant. It is a hidden gem, carrying a well-curated collection of unique items you won’t find anywhere else. The focus is on Thai cuisine, from ready-to-eat to prep-to-cook meals, including amazing food and sushi. There is also a premiums fresh sashimi section.
The market area, while pretty small, stocks essential ingredients for Asian cooking, with popular picks of groceries. It is perfect to grab a quick snack or meal, like their awesome onigiri. The place also features the widest selection of sake in town and an extended portfolio of Oregon wines. Their rice is the best available, with fresh crops.
The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. The market, restaurant, and event space are all beautifully designed, offering a delightful experience. It is definitely on the higher-end of pricing but is highly recommended.
This is a great community space where we all make amazing connections as well as having the most amazing Asian product in dc. Keita and Zach make it all happen. LOVE this place with all my heart.

Great little spot. Things are a bit pricey of course but as you can expect for the area.
