Ricemill, the fast-casual restaurant known for its Asian-inspired rice bowls, is excited to announce the grand opening of its newest location in downtown Phoenix on March 22. The eatery is inviting the local community to experience its flavorful offerings and join in the celebrations during the event.
A Culinary Vision Brought to Life
Ricemill is the brainchild of Harry Yu, co-founder of Ricemill and Miss Dessert, who has made a significant impact on Phoenix’s culinary landscape. Yu is known for his passion for bold flavors and creating innovative dining experiences. The opening of Ricemill’s first downtown Phoenix location is a major milestone in bringing his vision to life.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring the first Ricemill to downtown Phoenix,” Yu said. “The city is full of energy and culinary innovation, making it the perfect place for us to introduce our unique flavors. We look forward to joining this vibrant community and sharing our passion for exceptional cuisine.”
Signature Dishes and Flavorful Experiences
At the heart of Ricemill’s success is its carefully crafted menu, designed by Chef Yiyi Wang, who co-founded the restaurant and brings a wealth of experience from Michelin-starred kitchens like Manresa and Jean-Georges. Ricemill’s menu offers a variety of signature rice bowls, each packed with bold, unique flavors. Notable options include the Seoul Garlic Chicken and the Shanghai-style steak, both of which can be customized with a variety of bases, proteins, toppings, and sauces.
In addition to the rice bowls, Ricemill also offers a selection of sides, including shrimp crisps, handcrafted milk teas, and desserts like chocolate, vanilla, and Thai tea rice pudding—perfect for rounding off the meal with something sweet.
