Rice Barley Taphouse - Adrian

Highly recommend going Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20

Great food and a style of food that Adrian has lacked for a long time. It's a small place that gets busy so wait times can be long during peak hours, plan accordingly. Would 100% suggest you give it a try. Lots of interesting stuff to try on tap also.

I have previously posted a review of rice and barley expressing my admiration for this place lol.. However, I wanted to update my review after tonight! My husband and I eat sushi more frequently than we probably should lol, but I had a minor change in my order that was overlooked and the staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND to correct it! The Head Chef Kyle was exceptional (as always!).. Stephanie and Amanda were incredibly kind about it.. Stephanie has served us on multiple occasions and has always been excellent.. My husband has a sesame seed allergy, which can be challenging to accommodate at any sushi restaurant, but rice and Barley always make the effort to accommodate us and he has never had any issues! I am extremely grateful for that! Thank you all for consistently providing us with 5-star service!

Overall, pretty good. I have to be in town for over a month in the summer, and this is the most decent place in town. I've had the chicken teriyaki bowl a couple of times... please scale back on the sprouts (what is the food cost on the amount you put on here!? . Could also scale back on the amount of actual sauce on the bowl, the bottom of it has a lot when getting to it. Very large portion, enough for about 3 meals. Great beer, great atmosphere.

My first impression of this restaurant was not good. The place was very loud and cramped, making it difficult to even read the menu. The decor was all hard surfaces and the music was blaring, creating a very uncomfortable environment. Despite the beautiful pictures of the food online, the dishes lacked flavor. The Spicy Salmon Roll and Tuna Poke Bowl both had a creamy texture with no distinctive taste. The tuna in the poke bowl looked artificially colored and the dish had too much rice and the wrong sauce. Adding cilantro didn't help either. Overall, the food was a disappointment and there was no reason to return. The waitress also didn't inquire about why we didn't eat the tuna in the poke bowl. With a bill of $75 for 2 people, this restaurant is not worth a visit in any city.
