Our Mission
To bring people together through bold, fresh, and authentic Pan-Asian flavors — cooked with care, served with warmth, and tailored to every event.
We started Rice & Shine because home-cooked Pan-Asian food is missing from catering and meal prep services — and that's a huge miss. These cuisines bring incredible variety, fresh vegetables, and dishes that are light and easy on your body. But beyond the food, we felt something deeper was missing: the sense of community that comes from sharing a real meal.
That's why we cook.
Cooking Philosophy
Six ideas guide everything we cook.
Authenticity
We follow traditional recipes and use ingredients the way they were meant to be used.
Community & Local
We're rooted in Central LA, cooking fresh food for the community around us.
Simplicity
Home cooking that's easy to digest and sustainable on a daily basis.
Honesty
Everyone should know where their food comes from, where it's made, and who makes it.
Inclusivity
Dietary restrictions aren't special requests, but a compromise we make to each other.
Freshness
Every dish is made to order with love. No reheat.
