Strategically located super close to my hospital. Probs the only restaurant where I took quite awhile to decide what I wanted to order bc they have soooo much variety! 😍 despite my very large appetite, I ended up ordering the crispy noodles which lasted me an extra meal! I had to take away cause they’re so generous with their portions! Just bring a takeaway container when you visit! Hahahaha. I even tried their salted egg chicken and rice and it’s so yum as well.
**I give 4.7 if I include the customer experience but I personally couldn't care less about it tbh, just here for food
a nice restaurant that serves a variety of asian cuisines, mostly Chinese and Malaysian though. I came here at first to satisfy my char kuey teow cravings, and it is honestly the closest one to the dishes in Malaysia I could find in Melbourne (I've tried other places but not the same). After a few visits I saw reviews about the salted egg chicken, and wow it was yum. I had for a few visits before I decided to be adventurous and try the bak kut teh today. I am really starting to like this place. Prices are reasonable to the portions. I'm moving out of Carlton soon but if I have an Asian craving I'd come here just for it :)
Salted egg yolk chicken ($12.90)
⭐️ 3.5/5 ⭐️
🍴As an Asian, I’m glad that the food at rice bar is pretty authentic and able to satisfy the #asianfoodcravings. The portion is quite large and there’s a good variety of Malaysian/ Chinese rice and noodle options. The #saltedeggchicken was well-done with its crispy skin and tender meat. While the sauce was a bit oily and perhaps could do with slight spice, the salted egg flavours were there and it was an overall yummy meal.

Fast service, good value. Wonton noodle soup was a good size. The BBQ pork and noodles were very nice, wonton not extremely flavoursome but still very tasty overall.
They've got a really wide Chinese/Malaysian menu here and the food comes really quick. The chefs all look very experienced and have no issue dealing with large volumes. Most of the dishes we've tried are pretty good, including fried rice and noodle dishes. At roughly $14 for a meal it's not the cheapest, but for the decent quality of food it's worth coming here if you're craving something and live nearby.
这家店算是墨大附近有名的中餐馆了，菜的种类很多，面啊饭啊粥类的都有。之前都是和闺蜜来的，她都点的卤肉蛋饭，忘记拍照，慢慢的一盆肉啊，她表示非常开心。
今天和男票来，我点了印度炒面，这个极力推荐啊！配菜非常多，而且也好吃，超出了我的预期。男票点的烧鸭烧肉面，不得不说，这家店给的肉的量是非常大方了，他到最后都没吃完。
非常适合平时没有很多时间吃饭的人来，上菜速度是很快的
Chose the Thai chicken rice, love the flavor so much! Not very busy at lunch time and the staff are friendly. The meat and rice are big enough for one person and it really tastes great. Worth trying!
Situated near Melbourne Uni, this is my go-to place for lunch if union house gets too crowded. Rice bar has a pretty extensive menu with a wide range of dishes to choose from, but you can never go wrong with the rice dishes. The salted fried chicken w/ rice is probably my favourite thing off the menu as it tastes very similar to the salted egg dishes I had back in Singapore (which is a good thing!). Furthermore, the food here is very reasonably priced :)
This place is only a couple minutes walk from Melbourne uni, and, along with the student price tag, it is an ideal place to grab a cheap lunch or dinner. There are many tables, so finding a seat is not hard. I really enjoyed eating at this place; their food is authentic Chinese food at an extremely reasonable price. It also tastes very homey and they are quick to serve your food, which is a bonus after a long day studying. Definitely check this place out!
No nonsense asian fast food located conveniently across from Melbourne Uni. Had the amazing Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Ribs on rice for only like $13. Great feed after a tough day of lectures and assignments
One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne!
I have ordered grilled pork on rice, grilled chicken on rice and prawn spring rolls. pork and chicken are very chewy, moist, and very very tasty. Prawn spring rolls are good at average.
I will definitely come back to try more different dishes here.
Fantastic food, always amazing. Have been coming here for quite some time - Carlton’s best kept secret. Always looked after and made to feel welcome. Also perfect for a quick takeaway. Very affordable, best spot on Lygon St.
Had lunch here and really enjoyed it. I ordered Beef, brisket & brisket fat (Táì Nam Gàu) which was really well flavoured. The soup and raw beef were seperated for travel and the attention to packaging for takeaway was excellent. The staff were really friendly and prepared the egg coffee from scratch. It was one of the few places in Melbourne I have found serving the delicious egg coffee!! Thank you.
I came here for the first time and ordered a vegetarian noodle soup. It was very delicious and it’s good proportion too. The service was great and fast but I was the only customer at the time so not sure what’s it’s like when it’s busy. I will definitely eat here again. And the place is clean.
Vietnamese gem on Lygon St- great value for money
We recently tried Saigon Pho and was impressed by the value for money. We tried the beef pho, bun bo hue and the broken rice pork special. All three were delicious. The broth in both soups was perfect. The broken rice even had the egg cake that is sometimes missing from other places. We also tried the spring rolls but I can't comment on them since they were devoured by my so I never got to try any.
The service is good and the food came out quite fast.
Overall, I would recommend this place and we will be back soon.
literally the best beef pho ever, I went back the next day
Outstanding Service & Food!! Highly recommend ⭐️
This is my go to place for Pho! The staff are so lovely and the food is delicious!
