   The Chef’s Tasting experience was really fun and the drinks were something special. What really stood out was the service from John. He was so nice and friendly which really added to the whole experience.

   This is the 4th time I’ve been to Rice Queen and have mostly had the “Vegan tasting experience” which includes 6 items and dessert for extra $$$. Unfortunately the one and only vegan dessert option had changed this time which wasn’t reflected on the menu, so was a bit disappointed (it was a matcha panacotta instead of a raspberry one) but overall service and the tasting menu is superb.

   Service was fantastic - from beginning til end. The communication was clear across the board. Food was great, portions were perfect. The feed me option was great and they were fantastic at catering to dietaries. Have heard great things about this venue for some time now and so was very much excited to attend for my birthday and my expectations were exceeded.

   Fun vibe, easy share food, the red lanterns and blossom decorations add to the ambience. We stepped out to celebrate the birthday of our 17 year old , she loves Rice Queen.

   I booked a girls’ dinner date with my five besties. While we originally had a standard booking, we decided to switch to the Chef’s Tasting Experience — and wow, it was *marvellous*. This review is something we all fully agreed on! When I say the food was *amazingggg*, I mean it. Imagine perfectly balanced flavours, generous portions, and beautifully curated, yet simple presentation. I personally loved the vegan dumplings, green eggplant curry, and the coleslaw salad — such a unique and refreshing taste! My girls were obsessed with the dumplings, green eggplant curry, and chicken curry. Those were definitely the top hits of the night. We also explored their cocktail range. My personal favourite? *Spicy Road* — the bourbon in it was just the right kick. I can’t recall the names of the others, but there was one with a salty rim that really stood out — my girls raved about it! Ambience? *Million Dollar Baby* vibes. Service? *Absolute banger.* Special shoutout to GiGi — she truly elevated our dining experience. From patiently walking us through the menu and helping tailor it to our preferences, to recommending fab cocktails — all with such vibrant energy. Make sure to say hi to her if you go! Big love and thanks to the chefs and the entire team — what an incredible culinary experience!

   Always great! A never fail menu for me. Really tasty and only wish we ordered more and didn’t get rushed out. Party of 6 and only had the table for an hour and 45. We could have order double the food and triple the drinks if we’re able to stay on longer. However, will happily return again.

   We did the bottomless brunch for my birthday and were disappointed with the level of service, we told them it was for a special occasion yet nothing was done about this. The service of drinks was extremely strict and they even counted soft drinks as part of the ‘number of drinks on the table’ which meant we couldn’t order more alcoholic drinks. The food was really good so would just recommend going for food and not bottomless and continually asking for drinks became tedious and I expected better service considering they knew it was my birthday
