Three visits here now and everyone a fantastic experience.Food looks, and tastes superb, service is fast, and the whole place has a great vibe.The only downside is getting a table, with waits of 1 hour or more not uncommon, due to the walk up policy.Due to a theatre booking we arrived before midday on a Sunday and were sat straight down, but within half an hour the place was packed and the queue had begun. So, it pays to have an early lunch or dinner.But it's worth it. Popularity here does equal quality with everyone from families with young kids, uni students, grannies and couples on first dates scattered around and enoying the food, service and setting.

The reviews on this restaurant are accurate, it didn't disappoint. The standout dish for me was the Kingfish Sashimi, very fresh and delicate flavors with an unusual passionfruit accompaniment. Four of us shared our dishes and with the exception of the crispy prawn and cauliflower dish, all were delicious. The prawn dish was a bit too fishy tasting for me, but that could just be my preference.The service was great, friendly and efficient. The only reason not to give this an excellent rating was the state of the bathrooms, not the cleanest I've seen.Highly recommended.

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.

We booked for dinner on a Thursday evening. Service was very good. The menu is designed for sharing so we could sample a variety of dishes of different portion sizes. We ordered nine items to share among 5 persons, with rice. Our top pick was the pork belly, that was delicious, will pass on the vegetarian curry with (canned?) jackfruit, not enough snapper in the stir fried snapper dish and watch out for spiciness in the curries. Everything else (don't remember exactly what else there was) was fine. We selected all four desserts and decided that the cheesecake ranked supreme, a little disappointed with the peanut butter ferrero rocher which was very dense. Very good coffee. It was a noisy venue, so conversation levels were raised. Hoping the new venue will be better equipped (re noise level) to accommodate a full house. Top score for service, a bit of a hit and miss with the meals, nevertheless we did enjoy our evening.Hi Superwoman888Thank you for your review and feedback.We are sorry to hear that you enjoyed the food as much as we would have liked you too.Please see we don't use canned jackfruit, we have passed on your comments to our kitchen team about the portion of snapper.We hope to see you soon at our new venue.RegardsVarun Sharma, Restaurant Manager

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.
