Rice Queen Oriental Diner and Bar

Really enjoyed the food, services, and atmosphere here. Had fun with spotting posters and graffitis on the wall. The delivery of the food was speedy and the quality of the food was top-notch. I like this type of Asian fusion restaurant in the sense that it doesn’t lose the authentic flavour of the food while being creative. Vegan options never disappoint us. Staff there made sure that we were taken care of and our requests were immediately met. Thank you!

Recently celebrated my birthday here on a Saturday night with 14 of my girlfriends. We had the Feed Me Menu @$65 pp which offers several courses and desert can be added for an additional $5. I love this venue and have been here many times, but not post covid. The decor, ambiance and vibe is so on point and perfect for a girls night out. We got heaps of great photos. The service on the night was downright rude to begin with - I had to ask for the assigned waiter to be removed from our table. The North American waiter was obnoxious- making fun of my guests because of their dietary restrictions and in general being rude when I enquired where our drinks were after us waiting over 15 minutes from ordering them. The rest of the staff was lovely, but there were obvious issues with food coming out - a few times they didn’t have enough food come out for the number of people we had an inevitably one of my friends missed out if had to wait. They were lovely enough to acknowledge this and offered us a round if shots in the house which was a nice touch even if it was just sugary, coloured water! Overall I had a great night because of the company, ambience and affordability of the place - drinks and feed me menu is definitely not as expensive as a lot of other Melbourne venues. The highlight of my evening however was the karaoke room - we had 6 of us do an hour session at $15 per head and it was a great way to cap of my birthday dinner. Highly recommend booking this in!! Wish I had more pictures but seem to have culled them before posting this review, sorry!

All I can say is WOW!! I tried the vegan tasting menu here, and holy moly, it did not disappoint. The fried cauliflower and eggplant was AMAZING (and I don't even like eggplant lol), the dumplings were delicious, and the curry was dangerously good (left me in a food coma for hours as I just couldn't stop eating it)!! They even had "mock vegan salmon", which I've never seen or heard of before - and damn was it tasty. And what makes me like this place even more is that the prices are suuuuuper reasonable compared to some other restaurants I've been to in Melbourne. The cocktails were also delicious, and the staff (who were super friendly) even provided cocktail/wine pairing recommendations for the food, which were actually really good! Wine selection was great too. Also came with some of my friends that eat meat, and they loved their meals just as much. I'd honestly say this place has now secured a spot in my top 3 restaurants in Melbourne. 10/10... Honestly, I can't fault this place!!!

One of the best Asian fusion place I’ve been to. It has a really nice ambiance and great service from our server as well. Food was amazing, authentic flavours and serving was enough to share between 2 people. Wagyu pad thai was a bit on the oily side but was still good. Would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu and the karaoke!
