Rice Scoop — Restaurant in Melbourne

After reading the great reviews about this place I expected more. We found it to be expensive. We are regulars at Flag Of India in Sunbury, and also Siam Thai in Sunbury, and we have never been told we have to pay for peanut sauce with their bread. Rice Scoop is an extra $3 per sauce. Ridiculous. Having said that, we found Rice Scoop’s roti bread to be extremely dry, yet sweet. It tasted strange. We’ve never tasted roti like that before and all 5 of us didn’t eat it.

Had a lovely meal when it first opened but since then, prices have gone up and potion sizes...

Eating at Rice Scoop is like seeing a Botticelli in person, you realise that you had been eating middle ages goop all your life and are suddenly thrust in to a renaissance of which your taste buds know new meaning. While the food alone is enough to dine here, the amicable staff, insouciant interior and speedy service, unimpeded by the scourge of COVID-19, are all reasons for the average Sunbarian to eat this art on a plate. Truely a shining beacon on what food can be in this desolate territory squeezed between the bustling depths of city life and the hostile poshness of the Macedon Ranges. Mandatory orders are the fried chicken ribs, sticky sriracha ribs and...
