Rice Queen

Pretty Awesome. Ticked all the boxes!

Average food. Nice ambiance. A little expensive.

Gado gado is very yummy

It was an enjoyable dinner. My friend and I got the set menu and the sizes were generous! My fave was the lamb rib bao with papaya salad.

Situated in a cavernous space and boasting a sophisticated yet fun vibe, this is the place in Fitzroy to go to if you're after an Asian fusion feast. Choose from dishes such as the tangy and fresh Kingfish Ceviche Pani Puri, or the crispy eggplant that is a mix of sweet and savory, or the tender melt-in-your-mouth Massaman Beef Curry, or the crunchy prawn toast that is super addictive. Rice Queen definitely tick all the boxes if you're after an enjoyable meal.

Hugely disappointing, service was poor, took 20 min for someone to come and take our order after getting up and asking bar staff after 15 min if we could order. The food is tasty but the meal portions are embarrassingly small making the dishes overpriced. Unfortunately I won't be recommending or dining again. A pity the surroundings don't match the service or food portions.

Don't ever trust any food establishment that claims to serve 'pan asian' cuisine.

Avoid group bookings! We booked 2 weeks in advance with written and verbal confirmation of a set price for the Chefs tasting menu. Manager refused to honour the price clearly stated in the email and was frankly, really rude to deal with. Arrogant and unapologetic for their mistake. He “compromised” by providing drinks and discounting the set menu slightly. But then went back on his word and charged everyone the full amount PLUS a $4 surcharge per person for splitting the bill? A 1.5 hour booking turned into a 2.5-3 hour seating because we were left waiting over 40 minutes before an order was taken. Food was served room temperature at best and there was a very large gap in between each course. Dining experience overall was terrible. Poorly managed. Understaffed. Never again. We had to cop their mistake and pay triple the amount we were told upon booking just so we could leave, which warrants a consumer affairs complaint to be honest. Rude manager aside, the wait and bar staff were friendly and a pleasure.

Really enjoyed my dinner here. Most dishes were spot on and the sauce was fantastic!
