Rice Boi

This place seems to be the hot place in town. With no bookings taken we had to get there at 530pm to try to get a large table. The menu looks amazing. Not too long but different flavour combos. You have yo counter order which for a place like this, you wouldn’t think so but the food is cooked quickly. As for the flavours, the coconut beef curry was awesome (basically a Massaman curry but still). The other dishes however weren’t show stoppers but still nice but not hype worthy and neither were the cocktails.

35min wait for a table for 2 on a Tuesday evening. Good range of a menu! I recommend the edemame for the seasoning 👌 but the shells-waste-plate needs to be at least three times bigger. Sticky Pork belly was very good sticky, a fourth piece would go a long way, and the salad/sauce was great 👌 Kung Pao tofu was great but there wasn't quite enough sauce, and 'marinated' is a stretch. The single tofu bao was almost flavourless other than the gurke. Not sure why this place likes to pair textureless silken tofu with skimping on the sauces. Lovely vibe with the plants and lighting! Also enjoyed the bee garden. But if I was to return and saw the infamous long line, I would just go elsewhere. But I guess they're not hurting for customers.

Going there on a Saturday (about 5:30pm) we knew was a risk with parking and getting a table. However, we had a great experience. Even though the line to get a table was long (ish) it moved very quickly and we were seated in probably about 10 minutes or so. Again, very fortunate in getting a table upstairs next to the balcony and had excellent views. The food queue was the slowest part of the evening (although that was in part due to a customer that took forever to order and spent most of her time in the phone 🤨) Once ordered the food came out quite quickly. As other reviews have said, the food comes out as it’s ready from the kitchen. This is perfect when sharing, which is highly recommended anyway. The food was very good and decent size portions. So again very happy there. Definitely recommend a visit, you’ll have a good time and enjoy good food

Easiest 5 stars ever. The beef curry was melt in your mouth , music really good and que to get in moved fast despite being peak dinner time. Will be back

I've tried to get into this restraunt 3 times with no luck (over 1 hour waits) But the food was incredible, and the service was amazing. Food came out in 5-10 minutes. The pork bao was one of the best meals I've ever tasted, the sauce was not overly strong, which I greatly appreciate 10/10 the "my ramen" was good, broth was flavourful, noodles were soft and chicken was tender 9/10. Chicken curry was not too hot with the perfect spiciness for someone who likes a little bit of heat. Resturant decor is interesting, I find stocking pantry and packaging supplies in the dining area a bit strange, but you know......To sum up I don't think it worth waiting over an hour for to be seated, but if you can get in with a short wait, it is definitely worth a visit.

My third time here and the food has been consistently good. Lotus chips: Great crunch and delicious seasoning Pork and prawn salad: A very well balanced dish in terms of flavour and texture. Refreshing and generous amount of meat Sticky pork belly: pork melts in your mouth and the caramel is so yum! Fried chicken: Meat was slightly dry and it was only lightly coated in batter so it wasn't as crunchy as I would've liked Service was friendly, the food came super quickly. Love the waterfront views.

Honestly some of the best food My Wife and I have ever had. The coconut slow cooked beef and 'my Ramen' was incredible. The slow cooked beef just melted away in our mouth and the Ramen had such a beautiful milky broth and was well done. The spring rolls we had also blew our mind as it was such a unique and tastey take on a classic! All round a great time and highly recommend!

We really enjoyed the restaurant, the food was delicious with an high quality (beef without fat, bao very well cooked). Generous quantities of food. The space is very nice, you have different rooms with different ambience 😊🏮 We were upstairs, very beautiful and cosy, but the only thing is that we had to wait 20min in the queue to order our food. But then, the food arrived very quickly on our table 👌🏼(less than 10min) I recommend this place !

Riceboi is a buzzing, casual eatery that brings the street food vibes of Asia right to the heart of Mooloolaba. With its funky decor and laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to kick back with friends. The menu offers a mouthwatering selection of Asian-inspired dishes, from flavorful bao buns to rich, aromatic curries. The seafood, particularly the salt and pepper calamari, was a standout. The cocktails are equally refreshing and pair well with the spicy dishes. Service was quick and efficient, even during the busy rush. If you're after bold flavors and a cool, lively setting, Riceboi is the place to go.

A great Asian inspired restaurant. It's always busy, though, so be prepared to wait. The Green Chicken Curry for a main is delicious, as for an appetiser I'd recommend the spring rolls too. It's hard to pick a favourite from the menu as everything I've tried is amazing, and I've given almost everything on the menu a try. Staff are always on their game and a lot of effort has gone into making the atmosphere enjoyable.

Awesome tasty food on a buzzy environment. Four of us shared a feast for $78 and had plenty of food with delicious flavours. My fav were the pork & ginger dumplings and the chicken bao bun. We also had yummy eggplant chips - long pieces of deep fried eggplant, like a tempura - with hoisin sauce. The spring rolls were so tasty with coconut creamed filled flavour. Excellent experience and great venue in the newly developed Mooloolaba wharf.

Braised Coconut beef and My Ramen were our dishes . Spot on . Presentation , flavour and quick service . 5/5 . Too bad I don't live near here otherwise I would love to try more items ...

Great original fare. No reservations taken...queues guaranteed. Some outdoor seating. Prices reasonable.

One of the best 5 years ago. Not as good since they have opened multiple restraints, servings not as consistent. Still better than most options around

Very popular, deservedly, with a long line every time we passed by. We opted for takeout (ok, takeaway), which we ate right next to the takeout counter on public benches. Had the duck bao, salt and pepper wings, lotus chips, pork and ginger dumplings. Everything we had was good. Super crispy skin on the duck. Enough chips to last well into the next day. Fun food.

Great food great atmosphere , Friday night was very busy but we were seated within 10 minutes and food was at our table within 15.

OMG, 100% one of the best places I've been to...I wish I could eat this everyday. Probably my favorite was the green curry, spicy and sweet and lingered just perfectly on your palette with every bite. I can't recommend this place enough.

Very popular and has an excellent vibe great value and great staff. The food is authentic and fresh and highly flavoursome. This place is an hidden gem. I highly recommend it. My criticism of this venue is the order and pay process one must queue order pay grab a number and find a seat. This is ok but if after what you order is not enough one needs to queue order and wait for the additional order to be delivered which is inconvenient for the customer and bad for the business in lost sales.

Rice Boi is amazing food! The line up is long but moves quick. You can't book but if you time it right it doesn't take long to get in. The spring rolls , fried chicken and bad buns are amazing if you're after a quick share bite to eat. Best restaurant on the Warf by far... prices are up there but the food is worth it and location is brilliant. Highly recommend. Takeaway js also just as good !!

Wow. Just cruising the wharf, saw this restaurant. I was jonesing for a curried lentil pie but to no avail. Had a look in this new restaurant I'd not seen before, they had a vegan/vegetarian menu. Awesome. Let's do it. Was. Not. Disappointed. Got two dishes and they were amazing. They are artists with tofu, and with flavours. Such flavours. All working together. And the taste it left in my mouth afterwards. I can't get over it. Will come back. Often. Thanks guys. Awesome

Chef Mitch (formerly from Junk) is on a winner here near the Sea Life complex. Mitch mix's fresh produce,asian infusions & complex curries to manufacture amazing dishes that will pleasently surprise your taste buds. Quick service an added bonus, very enjoyable

Great place, run by the same people who do Junk in Maroochydore. Offers the same sort of tasty and inexpensive Asian tapas. Calimari was excellent, and the fried chicken was probably the least impressive dish. But putting the leftover calimari sauce on the fried chicken was a winning idea. In any case, well worth a visit.

Went here tonight for the 2nd time. The food was unbelievable!! Sooo good!! The only thing that let them down tonight was the staff. Not sure what was going on, but all were very abrupt, no smiles, no friendliness whatsoever. I hope they were just having a bad night. The food was good enough to go back and give them another chance, but the staff definitely need to cheer up. Give it a go, hopefully ours was just a one off.

This has to be the best Asian food on the Sunshine Coast. Deliciously fragrant - great share dishes and reasonably priced. Loved all the dishes we tried these included Pork Belly, Ginger and Pork dumplings and the best Green chicken curry - definitely will return on our next visit to the coast. Yum

Oh my god! Quick cheap and really really good food!!! You have to order the eggplant chips and the green curry. Bloody amazing!
