Visited on a Tuesday night. Staff and their service were excellent, meals just as good. We weren't sure what to order so we had the chef select a five course meal for us, every plate was a taste sensation. I believe this venue is at the pricey end of nearby similar options, if you can get past that, you'll be delighted here.

A daring duo, perfectly paired. Perpetually Rotating Craft Beers and Eastern Feast shared among the table. Located in Richmond at the heart of our iconic Bridge Rd, a street steeped in history dating back to the 1837. Kekou (to taste good) is the regions

We loved our recent visit to Kekou! We each went for the $32 lunch special which was really filling and worth every cent. the Lobster Betel Leaf was a delicious little bite and the chicken yellow curry was amazing too. You could tell the egg noodles were homemade...yum!Thank you for such a positive review @travelmarnieThe $32 lunch special is definitely worth the while.. A starter...A main... and 1 pot (it makes things tricky when we have 18 craft beer taps to choose from) Everything prepared from our kitchen is made from scratch (even down to the curry pastes) so you know the food will always be top quality!We welcome you back for dinner as our menu has more options and variety.Thanks again @travelmarnie. We hope to see you soon.

If you have travelled in Japan you will know standards for service are extremely high. The care shown by staff in restaurants - or even cafes - in Japan is exemplary. As we entered Kenzan, my coat was taken and hung on a rack, with the number of the table on a card attached to the hanger. We chose one of each of the two choices for the set lunch bento. ($40 and $43). As we sipped sake we were asked if we'd like the miso soup now or later. In Japan, miso is served at the end of a meal, but we chose to enjoy it first, to warm us up on the cold day. The contents of the bento boxes were absolutely delicious. Both included sashimi. Amazingly soft and rich salmon, and some very nice tuna. My box included tempura, which was perfectly crisp, without being overcooked. My partner's box had chicken teriyaki, equally delicious. Both of us enjoyed the softness of the large smashed prawn dumplings and the tiny bits of salad. As we left, another member of staff immediately helped me into my coat. That's service!We have eaten at Kenzan several times in the past and never been disappointed. We'll be back, soon!
7. Rice Paper Sister

Located at 15 Hardware Lane, just off Bourke St in the CBD, Rice Paper Sister offers the same fresh, organically sourced ingredients and inviting atmosphere as Rice Paper Scissors, with a "finer" dining experience.

I met friends from near and far recently and we were all so happy with our experience here. We shared all our dishes and there was not one that was disappointing. Stand outs, in my opinion, were the kingfish sashimi, duck pancakes, dory and the lamb. All super tasty and some unusual parings of flavours. One friend was gluten free and all meals were adapted for her which was fantastic. The cocktails were really impressive too. I would definitely return.

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.

What an unexpected treat!I stumbled across this place for lunch whilst in the city visiting an art installation. My local friend joined me and said sheâd been trying to dine there for ages (no bookings for evenings).Chose the banquet and where left well beyond full. The smoked chicken salad is to die for. Cocktails are a winner with daily specials and an exquisite Vietnamese inspired take on the classic espresso martini.Looking forward to revisiting soon.
