The Rice Cooker

Great place to eat at close to the hospital. Pan Asian restaurant with dishes across Asia, we tried soft shell crab Laksa, combination hor fun and Char Kway Teow, all dishes hit the mark especially the CKT with the right amount of wok hei! Nice and clean with good ambience.

Delicious food, chicken was fresh and had a nice hit of chilli. The broth was hearty and flavoursome. Love the set-up as-well!

Perfect location, easy to find, walking distance if your are around the university of melbourne, children hospital, RMH. chinese malay cuisines. dishes we had char kew tiaw (CKT), hainan chicken rice, vermicelli noodles, salad, ample of sushi and sashimi (fresh made daily). all were tasty. Price reasonable for decent size.

The Rice Cooker in Melbourne is a gem we frequent regularly, and it never fails to impress! Their mie goreng, char kway teow, and Singapore noodles are absolutely to die for. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavours that transport you straight to Southeast Asia.

The mie goreng is a perfect blend of savory and spicy, with perfectly cooked noodles and a generous portion of vegetables and protein. The char kway teow is rich and smoky, capturing the essence of street food with its delightful combination of textures and flavours. The Singapore noodles are equally fantastic, with a subtle curry taste that’s both comforting and exciting.

The ambiance of The Rice Cooker is warm and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff are always friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience every time.

Delicious food and very reasonable prices! Gluten free options also available.

Incredible food! Came here for a quick bite to eat between medical appointments and couldn’t recommend it enough. Convenient location. Friendly staff, quick service. Clean restaurant. Delicious variety of food. I got the Soft shell crab curry laksa and demolished the entire bowl. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes! It was so flavourful and everything cooked to perfection. Definitely a hidden gem

Really nice place for lunch or dinner. We ordered Hainese chicken and Har mee (prawn noodles). We came just before 12pm which was great because this place can get pretty busy during lunch time. The food was pretty good and the service was fantastic, really nice people. The menu has quite a lot of things on it but the two things we tried were worth it.

The food here is really good. Had nasi lemak, and the fried chicken was on point. Sambal was nice taste and not too spicy.

As I work in the hospital near the place I regularly take away from thjs resturant. Meng and Windy runs the resturant with great passion giving the best service.The food is always amazing and flavours and the quality of the food is always consistant.Pircing is very affordable given current economy but the quality of the food is always top noch. The restutant is very clean and tidy and well maintained. If you want to dine in.staff are friendly and polite. Highly recomended. Best asian place in the area. A+++

Wish I could give 10 stars. Nice asian fusion restaurant in my area.

Food was amazing and very generous!Restaurant was nice and clean!
Service was great!
I'll come back for sure :) you won't regret.

This is the kind of place that doesn't stand out, but makes good food. Simple but reliable, consistent and affordable, with extensive options in the menu.

I eat Chicken Curry Rice, and it exceeded my expectations. The curry was bursting with flavor, and the chicken was incredibly tender. What amazed me even more was the swift service – my order was on the table in less than 5 minutes. A delightful experience overall!

Excellent sashimi and sushi rolls, ingredients always fresh. Malaysian street food served in pleasant unpretentious ambience and great service. No long waits.

Tried a few of their dishes and it's really good! Excellent service and friendly staff, will definitely visit them more often!

Reasonable prices for awesome food, and very short wait times! I once waited 5 minutes for my vegetable laksa. Staff are also very friendly

This is my favourite restaurant!!! All the food is so fresh and delicious. Service is amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

This restaurant is worth a few visits to sample the cuisine it's absolutely beautiful definitely recommend

Consistent, fair priced and delicious.

If you are around the Royal Melbourne hospital this is by far the best affordable place to eat.

Just make sure you don't go during the peak time of Mon - Fri, 12.15 pm - 1 pm if you want a seat.

Nice taste, reasonable price! Wanna try other dishes soon 😋

Lamb curry with rice, it’s tasty. Although it’s a busy cafe, its service is very quick and efficient. Next time gonna try its fried rice~
