About

The Rice Bowl is a buzzy Chinese restaurant in a basement setting, with dim sum and a broad menu that includes tofu and mock-meat dishes. Vegan diners should confirm ingredients when ordering: one reviewer was told the curry they ordered contained milk, though staff prepared a vegan version on request.
