Liyin Rice Roll Master

So tasty!!!!! I was so happy to finally have delicious pork liver in Melbourne🤩 The signature rice rolls and the beef rice rolls with pickles were just amazing. Next time I’m definitely trying the BPC (beef, pork, char-siu) rice rolls! The stir-fried beef ho fun was also really good. And the self-serve pickles in the shop were absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed an excellent meal here and would definitely recommend it!

Authentic and Delicious – Best Rice Rolls in Town! Liyin Rice Roll Master is hands down one of our favorite spots in Melbourne for a satisfying and authentic meal. If you’re visiting for the first time, do yourself a favor and order the Executive Set Meal — it’s the best value and lets you sample everything they offer. The set includes silky smooth combination porridge, fragrant stir-fried beef ho fun, their famous rice rolls (the most authentic we’ve found in Melbourne), fresh veggies, flavorful tea eggs, and the absolute must-try crispy chicken wings — made to order and perfectly deep-fried every time. You also get two iced lemon teas included, which pair perfectly with the meal. It’s just the two of us, but we always get this set and always end up packing away three boxes of leftovers for dinner — it’s that good. Generous portions, great quality, and consistently delicious. If you’re craving Hong Kong-style comfort food, this place really hits the spot. Highly recommended!

I’m a big fan of cheung fun, but often don’t get further than a standard prawn filling. I was really pleased to call in here on Saturday lunchtime and see the amazing selection on offer. The prawns with black truffle are superb, as are the noodle dishes too. The service is friendly and the value is tremendous too. I really recommend to all who love this Cantonese staple.

To be honest we have not heard of this place before we got to the restaurant, however from the decor we saw that the main restaurant back home in China has won numerous awards. We tried their rice roll (cheongfun) with beef and pickle and that was tasty. The silky rolls on the outside pairs well with the seasoned beef and pickle mustard filling. Seafood congee was not bad but not worth the $19 tag. The boiled lettuce that comes with their special soy sauce is so simple yet nice but again very pricey for $9.

Delicious casual cantonese food that has several classic menu options including congee, horfun, chicken wing, and the rice roll as the star. We ordered one each for dinner for three pax and cost $90ish. Not too pocket friendly though, and I felt thirsty afterward. For a casual, quick, delicious, and filling, yes this place is an option when in the city.

Just so so. Can’t even get a proper chili oil. Look, Nowadays even many Cantonese people would like to try a bit spicy. Just give customers options. But the environment and music is cool and the quantity of food itself is ok.

If you’re after a hand made real Cantonese style rice roll, this is the place. Delicious, wholesome, original unpretentious ambience. Just trust the Chef’s recommendation board. Don’t forget the Snow Beer. Approved by Foodie wife + Connoisseur Foodie son.

Aug 2025: I am a Level 7 contributor and decided to check this place out. I ordered the pork🐷 congee with century egg and found the price to be $2 more expensive than the menu seen in Google that was posted recently. Lesson learnt: don't rely on Google for the menu prices. I paid $18.80 for the congee. NO WEEKEND SURCHARGE for CASH Payments. When the meal was served, I was shocked that the broth has no flavour. Very tasteless! I immediately asked for some soy sauce. It's definitely different in style from the congee in Singapore and Thailand whereby a chicken-based or pork bones-based broth is used. It tasted so dilute. Fortunately, there were pickled vegetables that you can help yourself too. The century egg was cut into quarters and there were about 5 to 6 slices of pork🐷, no minced pork. There were no fried shallots, maybe very little spring onion. Absolute MISERY. I decided not to place further orders when I was actually planning to get a plate of rice paper rolls. Just not confident. NO VALUE FOR MONEY💰.
