   All’s well when end’s well, that’s what they say, right?? Because the beginning was a little erratic. Had to stand outside for good half n hour only to get our table cleared out. That could definitely have been much quicker. But once we sat on our tables, the whole experience was absolutely amazing! That includes the quality of the food n service. I would still say it’s a MUST TRY!

   It was nice to have alacarte service at the Rice Queen Oriental Diner and the decor was beautiful. However, the lighting was so dim that I had trouble reading the menu. The food was delicious and wonderfully presented. Overall we had a very nice dinner.

   Fantastic service, our server was lovely and they went above and beyond to make sure my sisters birthday was amazing. Very grateful for our lovely dinner, food was beautiful. I recommend sitting outside, quieter and the heater is beautiful.

   Rice queen is one of my favourite places for a quiet dinner with friends or family. Quirky atmosphere and great food. Lovely people. ♥️

   The Chef’s Tasting experience was really fun and the drinks were something special. What really stood out was the service from John. He was so nice and friendly which really added to the whole experience.

   This is the 4th time I’ve been to Rice Queen and have mostly had the “Vegan tasting experience” which includes 6 items and dessert for extra $$$. Unfortunately the one and only vegan dessert option had changed this time which wasn’t reflected on the menu, so was a bit disappointed (it was a matcha panacotta instead of a raspberry one) but overall service and the tasting menu is superb.

   Service was fantastic - from beginning til end. The communication was clear across the board. Food was great, portions were perfect. The feed me option was great and they were fantastic at catering to dietaries. Have heard great things about this venue for some time now and so was very much excited to attend for my birthday and my expectations were exceeded.

   Fun vibe, easy share food, the red lanterns and blossom decorations add to the ambience. We stepped out to celebrate the birthday of our 17 year old , she loves Rice Queen.
