We operate quick-service restaurants serving quality Japanese and Chinese fast food and related items for on-premises and takeout consumption under the Rice King name. We also offer R K Cafe locations, which serve American-style cafeteria food and are operated with a Rice King restaurant. Our restaurants are designed for customers who want convenient, casual meals with a mix of Asian and American menu options. In some locations, we also serve military base customers and follow the applicable base operating requirements.
