Melbourne is proud of its neighborhood precincts, each offering a unique cultural experience. No other city in Australia has such clearly defined areas.

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.

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.

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.

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.
