hello. rice workshop is solely the reason why i live. it is delicious. i would eat your chicken katsu curry any day of the week, nay any minute of the day. i am obsessed. ily.
I absolutely love Japanese food, so to have it served so conveniently and so quickly in venues such as Rice Workshop make it even better. The quality of the bowls is so good, and this is my favourite location as I'm often in the city, and I like that you can dine in. It's small, but there is more room upstairs.
The selection of bowls is quite good, and I chose a raw salmon bowl. It was fresh and delicious with plenty of rice, salad and pickled ginger. The addition of wasabi works so well with the salmon, and I found it to be a fantastic lunch option.
I also had an okonomyaki stick from the fried selection, and it was crispy and tasty. I could have eaten ten of them!!
Service was prompt, and the staff were really sweet. It was quite busy, but they were still efficient and my meal didn't take long at all. Rice Workshop is a fabulous option for a quick but healthy lunch, and is definitely a favourite with my family.
Very amazing beef bowl! I really missed gyudon and felt like being in Japan again. A quick meal, good price and delicious!
An amazing value for money, food tastes great and fresh, plus they offer free sauces to everyone unlike all other cheap food outlets
Super efficient restaurant. From the great service while ordering to efficiency of my Chicken Curry katsu bowl coming out so quickly and it tasting fresh and hot. I was very happy with the whole experience.
Love the flavour, portions and value for money of Rice Workshop - definitely my go to for Japanese! Also, their soft serve black sesame and matcha ice creams are the best, and only for $2!
Super fast service, very tight spacing and it’s always a bonus if you get a seat! Food is made fresh and is tasty. I always get the edamame but always try something different when I visit. 😃
The food was very tasty and super quick I didn’t have to wait so long the staff was very attentive and the best part is it’s very affordable
Fast and friendly service. Nothing too fancy but a decent feed at a good price point. Good potion size which is always amazing when starving. Good arrange of sauces
I am a vegetarian so it’s hard to appreciate international cuisines sometimes due to lack of options but I was pleasantly surprised here. They didn’t have many options but the ones they did were good. I actually finished my plate and completely enjoyed it. The flavours were good and the dishes were fresh.
Fastest Rice Workshop in the southern hemisphere I would suggest.
Order your food at the far end, collect and proceed down the counter to pay.
Friendly service and served up in two mins.
Good size portions.
Limited seating down stairs but they have seating upstairs.
I ordered the spicy chicken terriaky and all was well.
Well priced. Will return again.
The staff were very friendly and a decent fast meal for cheap prices. The meal was filling and delicous and worth coming to for a quick meal. :)
Good value also delicious Japanese place.
Athletic rice bowl everything was great.
LOVE this little restaurant.
I stumbled upon this restaurant in 2016 because I love matcha and wanted to try the ice cream. It did NOT disappoint. Seriously one of my favourite ice creams.
The rice bowls here are also excellent, this time I enjoyed the Katsu curry with tempura prawn and an egg. There was nothing to fault as usual.
This place is well priced, the staff are helpful, and it’s in a great location.
Always love coming here when I’m in Melbourne.
Really delicious speedy meals. We stumbled upon this place and found it very satisfying. Try adding the egg to your curry rice to up the pleasure. Also dont miss out the "crab ball" filled w pure crab meat. Pure pleasure. Their yuzu juice complements the meal really well.
