Score context

Five named OpenRice accounts were posted in 2023–26, including two in 2025–26. Recent posts describe distinctive savory and fruit drinks; older accounts disagree sharply, with a February 2024 return guest reporting improvement over 2023. The 2023 criticism is historical. Posting dates do not establish visit dates, and this unevenly dated single-platform sample cannot establish current consistency.
