The former Basil & Prawn that closed last fall in Thousand Oaks has opened in “soft opening” mode as Roast & Rice Kitchen at 30990 Russell Ranch Road, Westlake Village, in the former Barone’s Pizzeria space across from Lure Fish House and adjacent to Cici’s.

Roast & Rice is an “Asian Fusion” eatery that serves rice and noodle dishes, sushi and more.
