It was our first trip to Rivière together, & it was absolutely wonderful! The staff are so friendly & can recommend dishes based on what you like. Each dish has a unique flavour. I especially loved the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup; I'd definitely go back for it. The Dan Dan noodles & lamb stew were also excellent. It was tough to pick just one, but all four of us were very happy & finally found the authentic Chinese flavours in Rivière. I would highly recommend it!
Absolutely wonderful dining experience! The signature sea intestine rice is still absolutely fantastic. Every dish we ordered tastes incredible.
For appetizers, marinated beef tongue & raw-marinated salmon are my top picks. The beef tongue is incredibly tender & fully infused with savory sauce.
Their newly launched laksa is a must-try! It has a distinct Thai creamy coconut flavor. The special black noodles are springy with a one-of-a-kind texture. The red-braised lamb goes perfectly with rice & is super satisfying. All the other dishes & the dessert cake are also lovely. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Very good Chinese food - authentic taste & feel. The beef noodles with mustard greens, the dumplings, & the steamed egg were all really delicious. Definitely worth a try if you're around.
We had a really great dining experience here! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The dumplings were especially impressive - juicy, perfectly cooked, & packed with filling. The noodles were rich & satisfying, with a great balance of toppings & texture.
We also tried a few cold dishes, which were refreshing & well-seasoned, perfect as starters. The beef with rice was tender & comforting, with a delicious savory sauce that paired perfectly with the rice.
The portions were generous, & everything tasted homemade & authentic. The service was friendly & efficient, & the overall atmosphere was clean & welcoming.
Definitely a place I would come back to & recommend to friends!
Great Chinese restaurant! The food is authentic & flavorful, & the noodles & dumplings are my absolute favorites. Friendly service & a clean, comfortable space. Will definitely come back!
This place is very creative, & you can really feel that from the way the dishes are presented & flavored.
The salmon was definitely distinctive & visually impressive, but it leaned a bit too salty, likely from the sauce. It made a strong first impression, though the saltiness became more noticeable as we continued eating.
For sides, we ordered the tofu skin, which was light, refreshing, & very clean in flavor - this one I would absolutely recommend. The chicken was also quite refreshing & nicely balanced.
The vegetable dish with shrimp looked appealing, but it was slightly salty as well, & the texture felt a little undercooked, which took away from the experience.
We also tried the spicy beef noodle, but this dish was quite oily, making it less enjoyable overall & not something I'd recommend.
Overall, I'd still give this place 5 stars for creativity. Almost every dish feels exciting at the first bite & makes you curious. However, as you continue eating, some dishes feel too salty, while others lean too oily.
If you enjoy inventive ideas & bold flavors, it's definitely worth trying - just keep in mind that not every dish is perfectly balanced.
