Jinda Thai

Reviewed By alanj30

We went with our family to celebrate our son’s 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 1980’s. 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

Ruyi Modern Chinese

Reviewed By itisben

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.

My 11yo daughter and I came here for dinner in between shows of The Cursed Child. Nicole and all the girls on staff were extremely welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious and the overall service was exceptional. I highly recommend dining at Straight Outta Saigon!!Great to have caught you and your family in between the play, Kaktus! We're looking forward to seeing you again.

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

Reviewed By roppongi

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 waited for more than 1 hour to get a dinning table on a Friday night, but IT WAS WORTH IT.Never tasted calamari so good with Thai sauce. The BBQ lamb ribs were succulent and just melted in mouth. Thai BBQ chicken was soft and tender but appropriately grilled. For vegetarians the mini Banh Mi and Ma Hor were unexpectedly very tasty. We were 6 adults in which 3 were strictly vegetarian and 3 could eat anything. Having vegan option in the menu was great as it met everyone's requirements. Person who served us had really good understanding of all food and her advise was very helpful.

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 she’d 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.

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.

Reviewed By David P

Recently visited Minh Minh Saigon Soul while staying in Richmond.The restaurant is one of many asian eating options along Victoria Street.I was eating early as I had a very early flight the next morning. When I entered the restaurant there were only two other tables with customers, so I got to choose where I could sit. I chose a front facing table to watch the world go by as I ate my dinner.The menu provided plenty of options at very reasonable prices.I chose from the 'Little Things' section for entree and from the Minh Minh's Top Choice for dinner. My selections were the special duck spring rolls followed by Pad Viet.The spring rolls were served quickly and were't quite what I had expected. They were okay although there wasn't much dipping sauce provided. The lettuce and greens on the side seemed a little confusing. I did my best to wrap the spring rolls with the lettuce and mint leaves. The spring rolls were enjoyable but nothing 'special'.Dinner on the other hand was outstanding. The Pad Viet was huge, refreshing, lovely tasting and certainly filling.My only criticism was that there were no sauces offered to go with the dinner. I had to specifically asked for some chilli and received a small bowl. The chilli was nice but very strong. No other options like sweet chilli, soya sauce, or a lime/chilli/soy mix. The staff were very responsive, friendly and helpful.There is nothing fancy or flash about this restaurant. Just the basics but overall a very good meal.I would certainly visit again and intend to do so when I return in a couple of months time, as it was good for my soul.The tram line runs right along Victoria Street and stops front out front of the store, which is also very handy.
