Pros: location, food, price

Who would have thought that someone could open a restaurant serving nothing but rice pudding? If you're a fan of rice pudding, though, you definitely need to take a trip to this place. Some of the flavors are a bit too baroque -- the green tea rice pudding would have been a lot better with no cherries in it, and who really needs chocolate mint rice pudding? -- but the simpler flavors are irrestisable and excellent (e.g., vanilla, cinnamon, and even lemon). The decor is also great, and the flat-screen monitor menus, featuring tumbling rice grains and flying dishes, among other things, will keep you entertained even if the food doesn't.
One big criticism: the packaging is incredibly wasteful. They serve the pudding in hard plastic bowls, very similar to tupperware, which the patrons simply throw away when they're done. They really should be washing these things and recylcing them.
Pros: Lots of cool flavors, Nice bowls, Great decor
Cons: Wasteful packaging, limited menu

Rice to Riches has winningly merged comfort food and Jetsons-style decor. When you select your choice of pudding, you'll get a yummy dessert or snack. I just finished the "East Indian", with coconut milk, cardamon and golden raisins. It was great.
The portions are not too small for the price. I think those making that complaint are, frankly, just too poor to eat there. And, while there's no shame in that, that's hardly RtR's fault. It's a luxury food shop, people. It's got its own designer water, for goodness' sake! You can tell by looking at the outside that the food will be pricey. Plus, they hand out a lot of samples; that adds up. So, I don't think there's reason to kvetch about price. Rice to Riches' pudding is not something you need, it's something you pamper yourself with. It should be appreciated with that in mind.
Pros: great concept, friendly service, wonderful puddings
Cons: location a bit remote

Delicious rice pudding, reasonably priced, and served in a way that will leave you using the word "cool" more times than you probably mean to. I didn't count, but there seemed to be ten or fifteen varieties of rice pudding, two of which were daily specials.
I had the Endangered Maple , which came with dried blueberries. The best rice pudding I've had in that price range, hands down ( Gabriel's is the only competition, but you'll have to hack your way through an expensive dinner to get there, and it's a little more expensive). Vanilla was scrumptious, Chocolate Cherry was nothing special, and Pineapple left me confused as I asked my friend Ben, who ordered it, "Did you taste that before you ordered it?!"
Worth the trip, in my opinion, from anywhere south of 42nd street. It's open late, too.
Pros: quick, tasty
Cons: addicting

After walking past this place for about a year, it has finally opened and pleasantly surprised. Although I was a bit overwhelmed at first, what with all the space-aged futuristic decor and plethora of plasma flat-screen monitors, once it got to puddin' time, it was all smooth sailing. I HIGHLY recommend a half and half of Vanilla and Banana (with toasted coconut). Other interesting flavors (I had a bunch of free samples) were the Maple with Blueberries and Cinnamon. Enjoy!
Pros: Variety, Cool Containers, Cool Spoons
Cons: A Little Expensive

What an original idea! A place with about 20 different flavors of rice pudding. ...coconut, walnut, chocolate, mango, vanilla, cinnamon. Some too sweet, they should stick to a less sugary, natural, subtle flavor.
At $4.50 a bowl, it's a little much for me to go often. I'm hoping they come out with smaller portions, or a way to split the bowl into two flavors. That way I can go and have a nibble more often, for less money!
Pros: Original idea, Yummy, Fun/great location
Cons: Size selection/price
