Boston, MA 02115<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red White is a fast-casual restaurant with smoothies and bowls.\nFast-casual and bowls seem to go together like beans and rice, but when was the\ntime it was Japanese? With a base of sushi rice, and toppings like tofu,\neggplant, mushrooms, yams, and more, all while topped off by any of five\nJapanese-styled sauces, you’re sure to encounter a new flavor experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
