Chili Garlic Salmon - Crispy Rice

Get ready for the ultimate crunch-meets-creamy experience! We take fluffy sushi rice and air-fry it until it's impossibly crispy on the outside (but still tender inside—it's basically magic). Then we pile on zesty spicy tuna and silky avocado slices for a flavor party in every bite. Think of it as sushi's fun, crunchy cousin who knows how to have a good time. two pieces per order. Warning: highly addictive!

Spam + Kimchi

Sliced, pan-fried Spam, paired with tangy, kimchi, offering a savory and spicy combination.

Mayak Egg

A Korean-inspired soft-boiled egg marinated in a savory-sweet soy glaze that adds rich, umami depth to your inari sushi. The perfectly jammy yolk and tender white are infused with hints of garlic, sesame, and mirin, creating a luxurious contrast to the sweet seasoned tofu pocket. This indulgent topping transforms your inari into a more substantial, protein-rich bite with an irresistible glossy finish that's as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.

Chili Garlic Salmon

Hand-cut Scottish Salmon bathed in our house made chili garlic oil, this sashimi-quality salmon brings just enough heat like it’s auditioning for Top Chef: Tokyo Drift

Spicy Tuna

Hand-cut daily and coated in our secret spicy tuna blend, this sashimi-grade star brings heat and charisma. Basically, if sushi had a red carpet, this would be the one turning heads.

Plain Inarizushi

Sweet, marinated, and fried tofu pouches filled with sushi rice, and sprinkled of toasted sesame seeds.

Tamago

Sweet fried tofu pouches topped with delicate Japanese egg omelette. A perfect harmony of soft textures and gentle sweetness that melts in your mouth. Our vegetarian-friendly tamago inari is a customer favorite you won't want to miss!

Longanisa

A bold and savory twist on tradition, the Malou LongInari features sweet and garlicky Filipino longanisa crumbles piled onto our signature inari pocket, then crowned with a soft, jammy quail egg. Rich, nostalgic, and packed with umami, this bite delivers the comforting flavors of a silog breakfast—reimagined in one perfect mouthful. For the perfect pairing, enjoy it with a glass of NFINITY Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap 2023. Its bright red fruit, earthy undertones, and refreshing acidity cut through the richness of the longanisa and quail egg, enhancing every savory bite.

Cheese Corn

Sweet, savory, and irresistibly cheesy—our Korean Cheese Corn Inari is comfort food in one perfect bite. We pan-fry sweet corn with a touch of butter, melt in creamy mozzarella, and finish it off with just a hint of sugar to balance the richness. Inspired by the iconic Korean BBQ side dish, this inari delivers the nostalgic flavor of sizzling cheesy corn in a soft, savory tofu pocket. It’s gooey, golden, and totally addictive.

Avocado

Creamy avocado slices rest atop our signature sweet tofu pocket, drizzled with a rich, sweet-savory sauce that ties it all together. Finished with a sprinkle of diced onions for a hint of crunch and toasted sesame seeds for nutty depth—this inari is simple, fresh, and oh-so-satisfying.

Spicy Tuna - Cooked

No raw fish here—just bold flavor. This inari is topped with our signature spicy blend made from cooked tuna, mixed with creamy heat and umami-rich seasonings. A sprinkle of furikake adds a savory crunch of seaweed and sesame to finish. Comforting, craveable, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Yuzu Salmon

Fresh Scottish salmon lightly cured and dressed with a bright yuzu citrus sauce, bringing a delicate balance of tang and umami. Refreshing, zesty, and clean — a vibrant topping that wakes up every bite.

Spicy Tuna - Crispy Rice

Get ready for the ultimate crunch-meets-creamy experience! We take fluffy sushi rice and air-fry it until it's impossibly crispy on the outside (but still tender inside—it's basically magic). Then we pile on zesty spicy tuna and silky avocado slices for a flavor party in every bite. Think of it as sushi's fun, crunchy cousin who knows how to have a good time. two pieces per order. Warning: highly addictive!

Yuzu Salmon - Crispy Rice

Golden, bite-sized crispy rice topped with fresh salmon and a bright yuzu citrus glaze. The perfect contrast of textures — crunchy, silky, and bursting with citrusy umami in every bite.

Bulgogi

Marinated ribeye, cooked to a tender texture, infused with a sweet and savory blend of soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, scallions, and sugar

Meet Craig Suyeishi
What is the story behind your business' name?

We love rice, we grew up on rice and consider it a base to so many fantastic foods, the first of which is our inari. If you ask a sushi chef what makes their sushi so good, they will say that the rice is the foundation that holds everything together and good sushi rice enhances the experience.

About Rice Lyfe

  • Asian Owned (AAPI)
Rice Lyfe reimagines inari sushi with inventive toppings and unexpected twists that keep San Francisco food lovers coming back for more. Each sweet tofu pocket is filled with perfectly seasoned sushi rice, then crowned with bold creations like spicy tuna, chili garlic salmon, and savory bulgogi. The result is a lineup of small bites that blend Japanese tradition with Korean, Filipino, and American flavor inspiration.

From creamy avocado and melty cheese corn to Spam + kimchi and longanisa topped with a soft quail egg, every inari has its own personality. Even the classics get a remix, like the cooked spicy tuna inari with furikake crunch or the tamago inari layered with tender Japanese omelet. For an extra hit of texture, crispy rice bites with spicy tuna or yuzu salmon deliver the perfect mix of crunch and richness.

Popping up across San Francisco, Rice Lyfe brings creativity, flavor, and artistry to the sushi scene. Each handcrafted piece is a showcase of imagination and care, served with the kind of detail that turns a simple tofu pocket into a bite-sized experience worth chasing down.
