I admit it -- I found Krispy Rice off an Instagram ad. It's basically Katsuya's version of Sugarfish's bento boxes, except a little artsier.
I ordered takeout through Grubhub. About $32 (with tax) for a Trust Us combination box. The combo consists of Edamame, Ahi Tuna Sashimi (3 pc), The Original Spicy Tuna Krispy Rice (2 pc), The Original Baked Crab Hand Roll (2 pc), King Salmon Nigiri (2 pc), Krispy Shrimp Hand Roll (2 pc), California Cut Roll (4 pc) and Spicy Yellowtail Cut Roll (4 pc).
Trust Us is the medium-sized portion. There's a $25, $30 and $40 option. The $40 option is a heck of a lot of food, from what I've seen.
All in all, I really liked it. I didn't share my box, but it's shareable between two people. It didn't look quite as picture-perfect as it did on Instagram, but that's to be expected. The pieces are a tad small, but they use a bit more rice than necessary.
Unfortunately, they don't deliver to my area, so I opted to drive all the way to Hollywood to pick it up. Man, oh, man. That part of Hollywood is still quite crowded. Parking wasn't bad -- there are some loading only spots out front. Krispy Rice just launched today (April 3), and the kitchen was pretty dang busy between making both the Katsuya and Krispy Rice orders.
My food took a while to be prepared because my order wasn't in the system(?). People using the other apps -- Doordash, Postmates and Caviar -- didn't seem to have any issues. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered through Grubhub. The food was worth the wait, though!
