About Rice Workshop

Rice Workshop delivers lightning-fast Japanese comfort bowls tucked inside the Maribyrnong food court. Shoppers and workers on tight breaks rely on the counter for hearty, no-fuss meals—whether it is a steaming chicken karaage curry or tender beef ladled over udon. The real secret is the DIY donburi option, letting you anchor a bowl with white rice, brown rice, or mixed greens before loading on grilled salmon, crunchy tempura vegetables, and a drizzle of spicy mayo. Warm crab puffs and yakitori skewers sit ready by the register for an immediate bite, rounded out by a cup of miso soup.

  • Customizable DIY Bowls: Build your own bowl with a foundation of white rice, brown rice, or mixed greens, finished with proteins and house sauces.
  • Counter Snacks on the Go: Grab hot sides straight from the counter, including yakitori skewers and crab puffs for a rapid bite.
