As others have noted, one of the strIking things about this restaurant is its fresh and innovative presentation of fine dishes prepared and treated with respect. Even quite traditional and commonplace Japanese dishes like Salmon Nigiri and gyoza are served with a creative twist. We visit plenty of Japanese restaurants pursuing our passion for sushi and itâs great to have found one on our own doorstep that has stepped up the local standard. Be sure to drop in with friends. The more at the table, the greater variety of share dishes you can try.

Welcome to Longrain, Melbourne. Our menu brings together South East Asian influences with the best Victorian produce. Inspired by the communal eating philosophy of the Asian table, our menu is made up of dishes created for sharing. Large servings and comm

For a 5:30pm reservation with the restaurant 25% occupied it is strange that we had to have the fixed banquet, which was hardly inspiring, nor worth the money- due to staff that came and went without notice (4 different drinks staff in over the course of 90 mins), and food that was seemed like it was prepared en-mass. Dessert was a small sliver of chocolate cake with shavings of coconut served in a small bowl with a spoon as garnish. Really? To rub fish sauce into the wound, 10% compulsory tip added to the final bill, and when ordering $100 bottles of wine, that seems a little steep. Won't recommend as Melbourne CBD has much much better options.Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to read your review. We are sorry to hear that you were not aware of the 10% 'discretionary' service charge. We do disclose that there is a 10% discretionary service charge added to the bill for all large group bookings when making a booking online or over the phone. This is also mentioned on our confirmation emails sent to all guests before arriving. At Longrain, we pride ourselves on meeting our guests with a general consistency of great service, food, drinks and atmosphere. We regret that your experience was not as you expected it to be.

I have to say this place was a total waste of my time and money.The place is OK, the food is totally forgettable.Four of us had lunch here and we all left with one question, who would ever want to come back here ?Spicy 2 minute noodle soup like experience, but it was a weak effort at that.I also disliked the fact that we ordered Spring rolls but you do not get as many as the photos show it.I also had to ask for rice multiple times, so OK they can not cook but the service was also lacking.You can do so much better if you are in the area, move on nothing to see here.

Rice Paper Scissors is modeled on the hawker dining bars of South East Asia with a shared-eating concept being the focus of our offering. We aim to serve only the freshest ingredients, sourced organically and ethically where possible - and all our sauces,

Iâve had the pleasure of eating at Rice Paper Scissors several times. Itâs crowded and loud but the food is worth it. You need to dine early or else put your name down and wait for a table but as itâs not really a place to linger the tables turn over quite quickly. Ordering the special of 5 courses to share is a good option. Love the fresh flavours. Interesting cocktails too.

Exceptional food and staff...could not fault this restaurant. Great value with their $65 deal for two people with meals that kept all the taste buds firing. Would highly recommend if you are doing a night out at the theatre or even just a nice dinner out.

5. Loi loi

Reviewed By Maree D
Staying nearby and spoiled for choice in busy Victoria St, we decided on Loi Loi. I asked for steamed chicken with ginger and spring onion but the waitress recommended instead the braised chicken with ginger, saying it was a better dish. When the dish arrived it was on a sizzling plate and lacked any discernible ginger flavour which was a bit disappointing, although otherwise it was a pleasant dish just not what I wanted. We also ate rice paper rolls and seafood combination and overall the food was very good and the servings were generous. They were quite busy and the staff were friendly and efficient although we did have quite a long wait between our rice paper rolls and mains. The only other comment I have is that there seemed to be a list of specials on the wall that was not in the menu, and the dim lighting meant we didn't see the specials on the wall until after ordering. It was a permanent looking list on the wall not a daily changeable list so it would seem easy to have it in the menu book too so that we could easily see what choices were available.

We went with our family to celebrate our sonâs 22 year birthday and their special fish with chilli and garlic is as good as we remember first having similar Thai food along Patong beach in the late 1980âs. We had several dishes including Lara chicken, Penang beef curry, Thai green chicken curry, gra pow, pad ki mao, plus coconut rice and roti bread. Thoroughly recommend Jinda Thai

Had not been here for two years. Signs of decline by the twelve clients at lunch and the sullen waitress. We ordered from the daily specials ,the spinach salad was overdressed and messy,the eel sushi was flaccid tasteless encased in gluggy rice,the crumbed whiting was over cooked and the prawn tempura was greasy. Why would you bother!

I have been going to Samurai for years for their unbelievable three-course set meal menu. Since the new renovations, and an upgrade to the touchscreen system (which is fun in its own right), unfortunately this meal deal is no longer available, much to my disappointment. The venue is fresh and lively, and welcoming. The food is of its usual excellent quality, and the prices are still reasonable (but not what I had been experiencing for so long in the past). The sushi is still delicious, but sadly I will no longer travel here just for that purpose. I still recommend this place, if you live nearby.
