Finally got to try Rice Paper Scissors, after seeing everyone go! So much yummy food, loved the fusion and the combination of flavours available! Definitely check it out!
Just wished that the portion sizes were bigger, as I was still hungry after eating….
PHUKET CALAMARI: The calamari was tossed in a salted, duck egg sauce, which was super flavoursome.
CRISPY BARRAMUNDI: super fresh; loved the crunchiness of the green apply and roasted cashew alongside it.
BBQ LAMB RIBS: meat just fell off the bone. I really enjoyed the sticky sauce with the ribs!
STICKY PORK BELLY: Like the BBQ ribs, the sauce was the highlight; I loved the caramel sauce, and the salad that accompanied it.
LOBSTER DUMPLINGS: yummy! Loved the lobster, pork, ginger combo!
BURMESE TEA LEAF SALAD: I thought the tea leaf was refreshing, alongside the crunchy bits and peanuts. Again, the roast garlic dressing was a highlight!
STEAMED COCONUT RICE: so fragrant!!
Cute place to have dinner with flavoursome dishes that packs a punch. We had 7 tapas dishes and a bottle of red that came up to around $160 but well worth it.

Rice Paper Scissors is quintessentially perfect Asian fusion. The tapas-esque menu offers a plethora of flavour-packed dishes that are great for sharing. Our favourites included the lamb ribs and lobster dumplings.
The only critique would be that the cocktails can be hit or miss.
Service is wonderful!
Food is to die for! Love this place!
Great lunch today was so great to to our regular waiter !
Quick friendly service - Food was excellent with highlights being the fried barramundi and the eggplant tempura - would I go back 100%
Everything we ordered was delicious and filling for its price.
What a great place with exceptional flavours and seriously good cocktails. Our group of four opted for the $37 a head five-course dinner special - any five meals with more than enough food for each person. Staff was so friendly and helpful with our choices - barramundi, pork, chicken, drunken noodles and buns. Great flavours with winning combos of sweet and sour, crunch and spice. We chose to eat indoors to escape hot night and had a great time. Will definitely be back.
Oh my gosh we love this place!! The food is always so yummy! We’re never ever disappointed highly highly recommend!
The food was yummy but we felt as though they didn't really want us there. We were largely ignored for our entire meal, then at one point the waitress came over and told us she needed our table soon for the next sitting, even though our final dishes from the set menu hadn't been served yet. It was not as though we were sitting there continuously ordering more food and drinks..So yeah, their service could use some work.
The staff here are so friendly! I came in for a solo lunch and they were immediately chatty and warm. The gentleman who I think was the manager gave me some great suggestions that paid off very well.
The flavour in all of the dishes was really deep and balanced. All of them were super fresh though and beautifully done.
I also appreciated that the staff seemed to want to talk about the food and the flavours, how it’s cooked, etc which I really appreciate as a big foodie.
I’ll be coming back and recommending it to all and sundry :)
Absolutely INCREDIBLE time having dinner here this week!! There were 2 of us and we did the $45 pp for 5 sharing dishes option. Not only was the food insanely delicious, but the menu had such a wide variety of options, everything sounded so nice I wish we could of tried it all! Also, the menu had an entire vegetarian side for those that are veggie. PLUS the staff were so kind, friendly & considerate. Eat here if you want an amazing food/dining experience :)
Popular Thai restaurant. Lots of vegan options. Special is $45 per person for 5 dishes. Good variety and could not fault any dish. Fresh quality ingredients. Chose a range with salad, curry, vegetables, fish and beef accompanied by rice. Interesting desert menu but we were too full to try. Interesting that they neither served tea nor coffee. Seating inside and out on hardware. Servers were excellent.
Banquet for two (45 pp) for lunch. You can choose five dishes from the menu.
All of the five dishes were really well done. A little bit sweet for my personal preference, especially the sticky pork belly but it was still very good.
Overall this is asian fusion done well. Will be back with the whole family. The experience is worth the price.
Note that there is a 10% surcharge on the weekends and a 15% surcharge on public holidays.
Booking in advance is necessary as it can get very busy, especially if you from out of state and you don't want to miss out on this experience. This is a must stop if your on a foodie tour.
Good vibe restaurant. Staff super friendly, delicious food and tasty cocktails.
Also, the 5 dishes to share is a great option for the price.
Dessert are unbelievable good!! Beautiful and the start of the show at that night.
Enjoyed lunch for 3. 2 having $45pp 5 share plates and 1 teen choosing 2 dishes. The food was delicious. There were a lot of other customers so it took a long time to get our meals and staff were sometimes distracted and unresponsive. Clean bathrooms, however they are upstairs so would be impossible to get up to them if you are in a wheelchair, or have trouble with stairs. Overall it was a nice experience and would recommend.
There are many reasons this Southeast Asian fusion restaurant has been around for years and still is very popular. Funky yet bright interior decor, chilled ambience, friendly but not intrusive staff, and the list goes on.
The critic I have is rather small quantity of food which is more on the bland side.
