Ricewood

 

After years of hearing how good it was, we finally ate lunch at Ricewood barbecue.
We tried the Szechuan chicken rice bowl and found it very tasty. We would like to go there again.


The courtyard seating area is decorated with colorful murals and furnishings.
It was a warm day, so most people were eating indoors.




In the Ricewood parking lot: another mural. There’s not nearly enough parking because the space was  originally a party store where people didn’t hang out. Now they have lots of seating indoors & out.
Next time we want to eat there, we’ll walk: it’s quite close to our house!


A short distance down the road is a preschool with nicely painted windows.

You have given us a plethora of lovely murals today, Mae. I love the preschool windows and how colorful the table and chairs were at Ricewood barbecue. I also enjoyed seeing the Lucky kitties. Now I want to eat there, too. But I was really mesmerized by that glass sculpture which caught my eye. That was amazing.

Those rice bowls sound very yummy. The sandwiches sound yummy too.I had Asian style shrimp tacos yesterday, and they were really good. That's an interesting bottle statue too. Happy new week . hugs-Erika

Yum! Those rice bowls sound terrific -- and it looks like a great place to take a wander around after eating, as well! I love the graphic murals, maybe especially the B&W ones.... but also the preschool flowers, too.

A warm day and people eat indoors???
A warm day in Germany and you´d have trouble getting a seat outdoors!
Especially in such a lovely painted and decorated space!
Hmmm, and now I am hungry, too.

I really like the kindergarten flowers. Although not especially for preschoolers. And the black and white mural is cool

I like all the artwork. I was surprised when you said it was warm so people were eating indoors:) Too much sun do you mean?

Note of explanation: I said that people chose to sit inside because it was “warm.” I didn’t want to say it was “hot” because the rest of this country is having an unbelievable heat wave, and here, although it might feel better to sit inside and away from the noonday sun, it’s only in the 80s. So I would feel like a sissy if i used the word “hot.”
