Yummy bao buns

Loved the satay tofu bao bun, would be a perfect size for a light lunch, I personally didn’t like the eggplant chips, they were like super oily mega Jenga blocks but I was pretty full at the point and

Pros: Ambience, Bao buns

Cons: No bookings = long line to be seated

Plenty of vegan options

They run a very well oiled ship, every staff member is great at their job. Service is very fast, if you want entree then mains I’d suggest just order entree and go back to order mains. Line moves quick. We wanted the last corner table outside as we had our 2 beagles with us. When we asked they said it was booked. But no bookings are allowed I said? Their reply oh yeah, but this is for a staff member coming in for dinner.

Pros: Location & atmosphere, Options , Able to take our dogs

Cons: No bookings are allowed

Amazing!!!

I went here in November 2021 and I still think about their yellow curry and tofu bao everyday. The food and drinks were beyond amazing and I would 10/10 recommend!!

Delicious!

So tasty. Long wait in a queue at the front to be seated, but definitely worth the wait! Had the bao buns & lotus chips which were so flavoursome. Just wish my stomach was big enough to try the other menu items in the one sitting….everything sounded amazing!

Delicious

While they only offer a few vegan items on their menu, they certainly don’t disappoint. The yellow tofu curry was one of the best I’ve ever had. The bao, Asian greens and bubble tea were also delicious. The only sticking point with dining in is that staff aren’t wearing masks appropriately when serving customers.

Really solid food

Both Tofu Baos were great, the eggplant chips were tasty and the Kung Pao Tofu was good.

It’s nice to be up here and find places to eat that you want to go back to.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: I’d like more non-tofu choices

Delicious yellow curry, peanut butter bao and fries

Riceboi is by far my favourite restaurant on the Coast. The vegan options are limited, but the they are excellent. I will usually have the curry or bao, with nori fries always.
The bao can occasionally be hit or miss, but still worth a try!
As mentioned in other reviews, it gets incredibly busy and you can’t book, so it’s worth trying to go early or for lunch to beat the rush. I also enjoy their other restaurants Spero and Giddy Geisha that each have vegan options. (At Spero you need to ask for the vego/vegan menu)

Pros: The food is amazing, Good value for money

Cons: Busy/noisy

Best yellow curry ever

I have been to this incredibly busy restaurant a couple of times. Both times I had the same meal - the vegan bao and the vegan yellow tofu curry. Absolutely delicious both times and I would go back again and again for that curry. SO busy - but efficient service - they keep that food coming out of the open kitchen at a crazy pace. Very pleasant staff, a beautiful setting in Mooloolaba's The Wharf complex - you can even get a seat outside overlooking the water. I completely recommend this restaurant - no bookings taken so expect to be in a long queue on Friday and Saturday nights. Worth the wait though.

Pros: Food, Service, Setting

Cons: The overwhelming busyness. , No other cons at all.

The yellow curry was amazing

The yellow curry is the best I've ever had and the eggplant chips were really tasty as well. However the portion sizes were small for the prize and the vegan options are pretty limited. I'll be back for the curry again though.

Pros: Food is tasty

Cons: Small portions for price

Highly recommend!

It was busy and a bit of a wait for a table but worth it! I had the tofu yellow curry, edamame seasoned beans and the tofu bao (which was my favourite) it was all so flavourful. So delicious, highly recommend!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, High quality food, Great atmosphere and overall vibe
