    Had such an amazing dinner at Rice Queen tonight! The menu was incredible with delicious options from chefs menu and every dish was full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The food was honestly so good 🙌🏽 What made the experience even better was the service. The staff really took care of us and made us feel so welcomed from start to finish. They constantly checked in, looked after us throughout the night, Will was the bane of the waiter that took care of us and he made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend Rice Queen for both the food and the amazing hospitality. Will definitely be back for sure ❤️
