Not an expansive menu, but there’s meat and also vegan options. We got two rice boxes, which both come with rice, gailan and pickles.Porchetta crackling (crispy pork belly) is delicious, and I really like the herbed side that came with it on the veggies.Beef curry stew is just fine. I’m not as big of a fan, it’s a tasty curry stew and the meat isn’t too dry, but it’s nothing mind-blowing.Would’ve preferred jasmine short grain rice, as I feel long grain is on the dry side.Parking… DTLA, so it sucks. Either get lucky with street parking or shell out for garage
Unbelievably upsetting! We ordered $80 worth of food for delivery and we ended up throwing more than half of it. The drop off happened insanely quickly since I was close by to their place. And yet the food tasted old…mind you I ordered at 1130AM.We could not believe how bad and old tasting the food was….the chicken wings were dry, ‘crispy’ wontons were stale outside and tangy inside. The mushroom bao was probably somewhat the only fresh tasting item but was very bland. Char siu looked gray and tasted like rancid oil- had a very off taste. The mapo eggplant tasted so muddled and next to it was the beef curry that was literally like cat food. Some of the meat was just mushed up to oblivion then some pieces were just so hard that even when I pushed down with a spoon it was not falling apart. Veggies that were suppose to be green looked like it was yellowing and the rice was just wet and not fluffy at all.I honestly can not help but feel we were given days old food and they were just wanting to get rid of it :( - we could not even think to take photos since we just wanted to dump it out ASAP….We love supporting local spots- but wow…we are insanely flabbergasted by what was given to us.
Not bad but overpriced, bland, served lukewarm and greasy for no good reasons. You can get roast pork belly from so many places in the SGV just as good at better prices. Guess downtown hipsters really have no standards.
First time in LA, and this was the first place that a friend and I went to for dinner. Best decision we've made. We both agreed this is something we'd get every week if we had the opportunity.I ordered the beef red curry, and it comes on a bed of rice with sweet pickled cucumbers and what i can only assume was a sweet pickled radish. The steamed leafy veg was the only flavorless part of the meal, but that was to be expected. Everything else was bold flavors and fantastic tastes.
I tried the BaoBox, a sampling of all three of their Baos. Fillings were sparse, light on pieces of meat and not high quality. I found the Bao dough a little too dense. Service was fast because they're ready sitting in steamers. Flavors in all three were very similar.
great service and food is amazing
I had the porchetta box and it was amazing. I lived in Singapore and Taiwan for a total of seven years and I have had plenty of char siu. This is legit. Go here!
Really good bowl. Fairly priced. Freshly made and located in the Spring Street Arcade. Would recommend.
Small Cantonese restaurant in the Spring Arcade Building. They’re currently open for takeout and dine-in. The tables are two-seaters so it’s probably best to come with another friend or two. Credit cards are accepted. Bathrooms are available for the entire building if you show your receipt to the security guard. Metered street parking is available.The food is tasty and reasonably priced. The bao box comes with 3 buns. The bread is very soft and has a generous amount of filling. The RBX one was my favorite. We also split the curry beef (it has coconut milk FYI) and the crackling pork. The curry beef was hearty and warming, and the pork was intensely crispy. Both dishes came with rice and veggies. The restaurant is right across Gelateria Uli should you want dessert afterwards. Overall, it’s a tasty place to grab food.
I’m a huge fan of Ricebox! I love the fact that the dishes that they prepare are recipes that were passed down to the owners by their grandparents. Their take on traditional Cantonese dishes are great. My favorite is their crackling pork/porchetta bowl. The porchetta are nicely seasoned and expertly cooked. It has a nice crispy texture on the outside and a savory and succulent meaty interior. You can upgrade your bowl to include fried rice and a fried eggs. A few other items worth noting are their RBX Cheesy Char Siu Bao, pork fried rice and their salt and pepper chili wings. Their RBX chessy char siu bao is a really unique take on the traditional bao. It’s filling and oh so good.
