One Rice

One Rice is located on Brick Lane in Shoreditch, offering a focused menu of Chinese-inspired dishes with a modern twist. The restaurant takes its name from the idea of a single bowl of rice being the foundation of a meal, and this ethos carries through its approach to simple yet flavourful cooking.

The dining space combines wooden panelling and warm lighting, creating a clean and understated setting. The design is simple, with a focus on natural materials and a few decorative touches that nod to the restaurant’s Chinese influences. The layout is suited to small groups or pairs looking to enjoy a relaxed meal with a variety of dishes to sample.

The menu is built around small plates designed for sharing, showcasing bold flavours and a mix of textures. Dishes include crispy soft-shell crab, braised pork belly served with a rich sauce, and a comforting bowl of chicken rice topped with a soft-boiled egg. The cooking leans on traditional Chinese techniques while incorporating contemporary elements, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and vibrant presentation. Portions are generous enough to share, making it easy to explore multiple dishes in one sitting.

Takeaway is available for those who prefer to enjoy One Rice’s dishes at home. The restaurant also offers the convenience of online ordering through its website.
