Tried Rice Rice Baby in Mt Maunganui and had a good experience. The food was flavorful and satisfying, with generous portions that felt filling without being too heavy. Everything was well prepared and served quite efficiently. A nice spot for a casual meal, especially if you’re craving comfort rice dishes. Would be happy to come back again.

Walking into this pho spot was such a pleasant surprise—the vibrant colors immediately caught my eye and gave the place a lively feel. The sweet and friendly staff greeted us warmly, which made us feel right at home. We started with some fresh rolls, and although we didn’t notice they came without meat, they were still very delicious, especially with the flavorful dipping sauce. The interior and styling added an authentic touch, which I really appreciated. The pho itself was fantastic: generous portion sizes, warming, filling, and absolutely delicious. Even the basic pho has a bit of heat, so it’s worth checking with the staff if you prefer something milder. Overall, a great spot for comforting food and welcoming vibes—I’d definitely return.

I love this place ♥️. I was there 2 weeks ago. The food is very delicious and always tastes great. I ate a spicy prawn a coconut fried rice and coctel.... Hot lips... I didn't like it, was only juicy and ice.

have been wanting to try this place for a while as i’ve been getting recommendations on instagram. it is a very busy restaurant popular with locals. beef pho had nice broth, not too oily, good portion of beef and noodles. creamy chicken curry was very nice. i recommend crispy cauliflower for starters as portions are big and quite filling. i was disappointed with the service though. not once did anyone ask how our food was even though the waiter walked past us many times. he was being very attentive to the table next to us who arrived later. at some point, it was kinda obvious they were ignoring our table.

Great dining experience. Every time we drove past this restaurant at Mount, we would see how busy it was. So, we decided to give it a go. We were quickly seated! The staff is friendly, and the food is amazing. I recommend the creamy chicken curry and calamari. We also tried the chicken pho, but it wasn't for us. However, we could see why it was a great hit, and it offers great value with big portions! My wife is a picky person when it comes to taste, presentation, customer service, and cleanliness. But this will be our go-to place.
