Very friendly staff. My husband got the Pork Katsu Curry and I got the Spicy BBQ Pork Bento box. My husband says he had a very generous portion, full of flavour and good mix of meat, vegetables and rice. Everything in my bento had tons of flavors and different textures. It also had a great portion and a healthy mix of everything. The sushi was really crunchy and tasted great. Thank you!

Food was delicious and fresh. I had the beef bulgogi on rice. Lots of flavor and good portion. Will definitely be returning.

This is our go-to food in Newmarket! The food is very flavourful and absolutely delicious! Service is also great!

On The Rice is a hidden gem! (I was gonna gatekeep it btw) The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. I tried the galbi and bulgogi on the rice—both were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff is friendly, and service is quick, even during busy times. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, it’s a go-to spot for satisfying Korean comfort food. Highly recommend!

Always love the super flavourful meals here. Consistently delicious, and always hits the spot especially when I don’t feel like cooking. Bonus that the owner and staff are super friendly too 😊

Nov 9 2024 Back again with my family of 6. We have been craving to come back. My On the Rice Galbi beef short rib bowl was savoury perfection. Still the same very kind and warm service. The bowl always seems small but the galbi keeps going. It was more than enough to the point of delightful contentment. Did not order anything else but to be able to eat and feel happiness and satisfaction like this is rare. If you are in Newmarket and you want some amazing bbq beef short rib with stir fried veg and white rice this is the only place you need. Rest if family had their own faves and they looked amazing with good quantity and quality. Love their miso soup as well. Will always come back whenever we can. Korean soulfood here! Added two more pics. Thank you ONE THE RICE may you be around forever! Original post: Full marks for taste and service. Only dinged for price and quantity and small dining area, but I suppose that is not a fair point. More of a pickup place than dine in, but I guess at least they have some space to eat. 4 tables of 4 seats are just spaced out enough. The lady at the front is not Korean. What a pleasant surprise, not that it matters, but she was really pleasant to deal with. Regarding price, I would have been happier if it was 1 to 2 dollars less but I did enjoy it but I had to add the $7 Seaweed salad to my 6 piece Galbee lunch special that was $17 I think it was. If the galbee pieces were all med to large I would have been fine with the price but some were smaller. All in all I left stomach happy but not wallet happy at $26 before tax which includes the almost $2 can of pop. Perhaps a better combo that includes a side and drink for $20 total would be much better. Smaller Japchae app that's not a $20 offering would be a good idea too.

Found this place on google, decided to give it a try and was not disappointed at all. Called to order over the phone and took less than 15 minutes for the order to be ready. Lady at the front was very nice. At first, initial presentation wasn't the best, however I was very surprised by the flavours of the dish. I got bulgogi on the rice, and it was amazing. I haven't had this flavour before so not sure what it's supposed to taste like but very savory with a little sweet, close to BBQ sauce but at the same time something entirely different. It's hard to explain but 100% recommend. Will be back to try some other flavours on the rice.

This is all around one of the best restaurants in Newmarket and in the GTA. The quality of the food and the price can’t be beat. Owners are always super friendly and take the best care to make sure everything they serve stands out. The lunch specials are very good and the Bento boxes are my go to for a hearty and healthy meal. Got the Pork Katsu Curry most recently and very much enjoyed it! Nothing on the menu will disappoint!
