About Rice Pantry
Rice Pantry is a modern Asian catering business run by a family in Arncliffe, and it has been cooking for Sydney events since 2016. Head chef Mama Le got it started with a 200-guest job in the first year, and the kitchen has gone on to cater birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, weddings and corporate functions, among them a 2024 event that King Charles III attended. The family behind it also owns Pantori Cafe and Bakery in Arncliffe. Everything is designed to share: rice paper rolls, steamed bao, Vietnamese fried chicken, banh mi, sugarcane prawn skewers, Peking duck pancakes, dumplings, milk bun sliders, papaya salad and fruit platters. It comes as boxed share platters, single meal boxes, canapes or styled grazing tables. For weddings and private events, send the date, your guest count and a budget, and the team will propose a menu and a quote, normally within one business day. Delivery covers Sydney Metro, from Macquarie Park and Chatswood to the North Shore, the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, Parramatta, North Sydney and the CBD, or you can pick up from the Arncliffe kitchen. Depending on where, when and how much you order, a delivery fee may be added. The date is secured with a 20% deposit, items can be changed up to 7 days before, and vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and nut-free requests go in the order notes. It's a good choice for hosts after fresh, plentiful Asian food that looks good on the table.
