Our Story
Rice, done right, in our neighborhood.
Our Story
Don Rice Bar started with a simple idea: a donburi shop that takes the food seriously without taking itself too seriously. Rice made fresh every day, sauces built in-house, and a menu built around the bowls we actually crave — yakiniku, gyu don, katsu curry, and a few things you won’t find everywhere else.
We wanted a place in the neighborhood where you could grab a fast, honest bowl on a weeknight, or settle in for gyoza and a drink with friends on a Friday. Same kitchen, same care, either way.
Made Fresh
Rice cooked in small batches, sauces built from scratch, nothing sitting around waiting for an order.
Japanese Roots
Donburi and izakaya classics, done the way they're supposed to be done — no shortcuts.
Neighborhood
A fast, easy bowl for a Tuesday and a good enough one for a Friday night with friends.
The Chef
Meet Chef Nathan Asamoto
Every bowl at Don Rice Bar runs through Chef Nathan Asamoto’s kitchen. Rice cooked in small batches, sauces and glazes built from scratch, and each donburi plated the moment it’s ready — nothing sitting under a heat lamp waiting for an order.
His approach is simple: honor the Japanese technique behind each dish, use good ingredients, and send it out with care. It’s the same standard whether you’re grabbing a quick weekday bowl or settling in with izakaya plates and friends.
