About The Rice Hut

Tucked along Moggill Road, this daytime Kenmore bistro nails fresh Vietnamese staples with the heartfelt charm of a family-run kitchen. Regulars drop in for banh mi packed with grilled pork and crisp pickled carrots—or noodle bowls fragrant with lemongrass. Oversized rice paper rolls skip the usual vermicelli filler in favor of dense protein and fresh herbs. Snag a stool along the wide open-window counter and take in the story of the family’s journey printed on the wall while waiting for a piping bowl of pho.

  • Hefty Rice Paper Rolls: Oversized rolls skip excess vermicelli padding, stacking up dense protein, fresh produce, and herbs instead.
  • Open-Window Counter Stools: A wide open pass-through window fitted with counter stools on either side connects the casual dining room to the street breeze.
  • Fresh Lunch Staples: Daytime diners flock here for crispy banh mi baguettes, simmering pho, and bright lemongrass salads.

Before you head over

Practical timing, parking, and dining guidance for your visit.

  • Park on Princeton Street

    Streetfront parking directly outside is constrained around the busy roundabout, so plan to park along Princeton Street or at Kenmore Village Shopping Centre nearby.

  • Plan for Lunch Hours

    The venue operates primarily for daytime lunch service and closes on weekends, so aim for an earlier weekday lunch arrival to secure a spot before peak crowds.

  • Grab Colouring at the Table

    Colouring sheets and pencils are available for both children and adults to stay entertained comfortably while dishes are freshly prepared.
