I love wandering around in Rice Market - it feels like entering another world, with an incredibly comprehensive and fun selection of beautifully arranged food and home products. I work nearby and come for the hot prepared grab-and-go food, which tastes more like grandma's cooking than a restaurant. In cold weather, the outside terrace is empty, so you can enjoy delicious hot food in the refreshing cold and people watch for 10-15 minutes.

Not helpful. Only pointed towards items. More Japanese then anything else. Too trendy

Super stylish Asian specialty grocery store! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, and they carry so many unique items you won’t find anywhere else. Since I was traveling from Boston, I couldn’t bring much back, but I was especially impressed by their gorgeous selection of dishware. The market, restaurant, and event space are all beautifully designed and truly a pleasure to experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Went on two separate occasions to try both the upper and lower area!
Restaurant Area: Went on a random weekday it was empty which was nice. They had a dim ambient and the server was helpful and attentive to whenever I needed him. They had amazing food and sushi though I forgot what I got.
Market Area: Pretty small and they do stock asian mainly ingredients so in-case you are coming in looking for chips, sweets, and noodles they don’t have the biggest assortment but they do have popular picks! They also had fresh food but I went with the onigiri which was amazing!
The place in general was awesome but is definitely on the higher-end of pricing!
They also had wifi (kinda). I was able to connect to the neighboring shop’s wifi lol which I guess counts.

This place is a hidden gem! I work nearby and discovered it recently - perfect to grab a quick snack/meal, and also a delight to browse. I've tucked things away in my brain that I can pop in there for as needed :)

I love Rice Market. They have this awesome asian grocery store in the basement. I stop in here once a week for their to-go onigiri’s and a green tea or matcha. 😋

Popped in to check out the market 10 minutes before closing and they already closed. Complete waste of time and parking money. How hard is it to stay open an extra 10 minutes and work your actual listed hours?

They carry the widest selection of sake in town, perhaps more than 100 varieties. It is also notable that they have an extended portfolio of Oregon wines by producers including Goodfellow, Shiba Wichern, and Violin.
Rice Factory's rice is the best available in the country, and each has an indication of the milled date (fairly recent) and we know their crops are fresh and not oxidated much.
Rice Market offers ready-to-eat food, including Onigiri and Thai food.
There's a premiums fresh sashimi section in the rice market, too.

Excellent spot to get anything you need for your kitchen! In addition to pantry and fridge staples, teas, hot food, snacks, and produce, they also have a very great quality selection of utensils, mugs, and cookware. I always get my chili oil and plum wine in particular from here.
The space is always spotless and easy to navigate, and the staff are very efficient and helpful.
The market is down a staircase, though, so if you can't use stairs, I don't know if there's any alternate way to access it.

Found the Rice Market recently when needing to kill some time before a Lip Lab appointment. Had no idea that this lovely hidden gem was tucked under the Rice Asian restaurant on 14th St. in the NW section of DC. Rice in addition to the restaurant has a specialty market filled with all of the things including Sake, Asian snacks, cookbooks, sauces, teas and other items. Rice Market also hosts cooking classes and events in this space.
It was fun just exploring their curated selections to see what Rice had in store. If you want something special for a home cooked Asian meal, I suggest that you stop by Rice Market. They’re likely to have what you need. You might check out the market before or after you grab a bite at the restaurant upstairs.
For a quick snack, I opted for a Kani nigiri from the market. It was tasty & a perfect small bite while on the go.

This is my favorite place to eat in DC. It has very authentic and flavorful Thai food, portions are super big. Great place for a date or even to go by yourself. I’ve been to this place more than 10 times since I moved to DC. My favorite dish is always the chicken pad Thai.

Very nice boutique Asian grocery store. They've got an incredible assortment of ingredients to make any sort of curries or other Asian inspired dishes. I especially appreciate that they've got prepackaged to-go orders from the restaurant upstairs, so if you're craving something but in a rush you can always pop in and get something already made. They've also got an incredible tea selection for those who are looking for flavors that they can't get elsewhere.
