Wild Rice Laos & Thai Cuisine

Food was amazingly delicious packed with authentic flavours and generous servings. The staff were efficient, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was lovely & spacious. Highly recommended, I’d definitely go back.

Delicious food, generous portions, friendly and helpful staff. We were glad to have discovered this place on our visit to Townsville. Definitely would come again. Highly recommend it. Staff went out of the way to make us feel comfortable.

This place was incredible. The food and the flavours are so delicious, very fresh ingredients. On a Saturday night it was very busy but definitely worth the wait. The staff is super friendly and helped us make a decision amongst so many great choices. Don’t miss it if in town, totally worth it.

I've had this restaurant saved since before we moved here a year ago everytime I tried to book it was booked out and I completely understand why now. From the initial walk in the door all you could smell was the incredible food. For entrees we had the tasting plate and the curry puffs, I couldn't fault one thing the spring rolls were full of flavour, the fish cakes tasted so fresh they weren't dried out. For mains the three of us got the pad thai, the Laos laksa the steak Laos and the pineapple fried rice. We all shared so that we could taste everything, every dish was presented really nicely. Not one dish lacked in flavour or freshness. The serving sizes could have fed up to 6 people. I will definitely be returning this is now my favourite restaurant in Townsville. The decor is beautiful you feel as though you are overseas the wait staff and very good at remembering your order. Thank you for the beautiful experience

The menu prices weren’t updated and we were charged higher prices. Upon pointing this issue out, they blamed it on higher costs but then agreed to adjust the bill, but still it feels a dishonest attempt. The food is edible but light years from authentic Thai champignons in Tom Yam?!? Diced carrots in pad kaprao?!?

Omg absolutely delicious!!! Went here for my birthday dinner with the girls and the food was stunning!!! Delicious and fresh and everything tasted amazing. Can't recommend highly enough. However, it is quite stuffy inside. They could do with better ventilation and Aircon but I won't hold that against them! Definitely will be back!!!! 5/5

Went here for my Birthday dinner and loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. We got there pretty early for dinner and it was already packed, despite it being a restaurant you have to walk up to and can't just walk past, which made it clear to us that it was popular. No doubt I understand why as the portions are huge with a variety of authentic Laotian and Thai dishes. As someone who is half Asian and has travelled intensively in Laos and Thailand, I was pretty happy with the dishes but it could've been slightly more seasoned and fresh... And worst part was that they had run out of sticky rice AND wild rice plus no vegan desserts, which made me quite upset as it is the restaurant name and my two favourite foods, and plant based Thai desserts are plentiful. Nonetheless the staff were very professional and kind, the service and energy of the restaurant made it a pleasant experience and I was really happy with their vegan main meal options. We got the deconstructed mushroom soup noodles and claypot. Would recommend!

Forget the fancy fish, this is one true gem of the Great Barrier Reef. I stop by every time I'm visiting the area. I'm sure it gets better every time although I'm not sure how that's even possible. Till next time, Wild Rice Food: 5/5

Nice atmosphere and decor but unfortunately the dishes were not great. The Laksa had about a whole basil plant in it and the vegan Pad Kee Mao was sub-par, way too spicy. Spring rolls were nice but cold in the middle.

Absolutely shocking Thai and expensice night with food going into the bin. Ginger fish was dry and overcooked. Had a strong smell when I opened the container. Green chicken curry was bland and very dry and overcooked as well. My husband had a spoonfool and that was it... Coconut prawns, overcoated, dry and overcooked as well. Make yourself a favour and go and order food somewhere else. We will definitely not be ordering again from Wild Rice Laos & Thai
