Had such a good night here recently. Wish I could have given the 5th star for food however the whole table didn’t enjoy the zucchini flowers. But literally everything else was amazing. Would definitely recommend you to go in a big group so you can order more and try a bit of everything. 100% will be returning again!

The atmosphere at Ms. G's is fantastic, and the service was excellent. The food was good, but some dishes were a bit oilier than I would have liked. Overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend Ms. G's for a fun and vibrant dining experience.

Everything was great! It's definitely a vibe and the food was yum! I'm not usually a big fan of eggplant but it was really nice and "crunchy" ! The little banh mis were my favorite 😍

So good and reasonable prices. I think this is a sister restaurant to Mr Wong. Very hip atmosphere. The lamb is very filling and was definitely our favorite dish. Burrata was great as well. Would come back!

Most of the food is pretty good, and would go back again. I would recommend kingfish, Bahn Mi and cheeseburger spring roll. However, there were some downsides. Cuttlefish was not to my taste so I won’t order again. I also felt that the eggplant has not been cooked long enough as parts of it were still hard. Prawn toast is too thick/dense for me.

Although the food was decent, the portion sizes are incredibly small for what you are paying. We had butter chicken, a Lamb curry, rice and two naans. Both of us were still hungry by the end of it. Nonetheless, The meat was tender and the staff were nice.

Have been here many times and the service is always excellent, we’re remembered every time by the lovely lady who looks after reservations. Food is great too, especially their dosai’s. My brother said he dreamt about the beef kerala after having it! I couldn’t fault any dish on the menu and we have tried them all. Their specials are all delicious too.

We went to this place near King Cross station. Tried three dishes which are detailed below: 1. Chicken Paneer Dosai- (4.3/5) This dosa has some delicious fillings of chicken and paneer. Dosa was very well and evenly cooked accompanied with some delicious chutney and sambhar. I loved it and already thought about trying the other dosas on the list. Sambhar was okayish but loved the chutney. 2. Goat Mappas - (4/5) The goat mappas was very well cooked - meat was very tinder and came off the bone easily. The flavours a bit different from what I have general eaten and it probably resembles the konkan and southern style. I liked the flavours, but felt a bit bland to my liking - but I loved how it was so well cooked. 3. Chicken Chettinad - (4.3/5) I had low expectations from the chicken dish - however it came as a good surprise when I tasted the dish. I really enjoyed this dish and the flavours were really good. I would recommend trying this dish out. 4. Kerala Parotta - (4.4/5) We ate the curries with parotta which was well cooked and went very well with the curries. Worth a try. Pricing - it was on the higher side with individual items priced between $25 and $31. Service - service was very good and prompt, and the ambience was quiet and comfortable. No problem at all. All in all a good place and worthy of a visit if you want to try some South Indian dishes near the city.

3.9/5* The Feed Punchers visited a very unique punch destination, Govindas restaurant and cinema. For $28, there is an all you can eat, vegetarian buffet, incorporating fresh ingredients with a strong Indian influence. At the start of the buffet line, there were options of white rice, brown rice, pots of soup and dahl. Next came salads, pasta and a variety of vegetable curries, which utilised predominantly; chickpeas, lentils, potato’s and tofu as the staple ingredient. The stand out favourite for the Feed Punchers was the crispy deep fried cauliflower pakoras, which were golden and perfectly crispy. They were well paired with the tzatziki mint like sauce and the chilli chutney. Overall, there was a great variety of fresh-vegetarian food in a buffet style. The perfect way to get a feed right before watching a movie. Thankyou Govindas!

Very casual with a good atmosphere. A vegetarian heaven. The food is homely and very tasty. Buffet style. Parking can be quite difficult. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues as there are two (2) flights of stairs which are quite challenging. Worth a visit.

Not great but not bad. Staff are constantly zipping around the tight dining area. Westernised take on the Indian dishes on offer with the rest of the buffet being a pasta bake which you'll need the cheese top layer when taking your serving to have any flavour. Dining areas could be better illuminated. Those seeking a menu which doesn't contain onion and garlic (religious reasons) and is pure vegetarian and somewhat vegan have this as a safe option.

I heard about this place (and saw their funky printed schedules) back in 2002, and knew I had to check it out when I came back to Australia. The vegetarian buffet is absolutely delicious. I did not miss meat at all! You can eat your fill of a variety of dishes for a fair price, and because it’s vegetarian and low-carb, you dont feel too full after. The big windows and balcony make for a pleasant view, and I appreciated the “very very hot” sauce on the side you could add to your plate to spice it up. The movie room is sooo comfortable. You get to recline fully with pillows to prop you up. Screen is big and you feel immersed in the movie. A+

My wife and I went there for my 40th Birthday just before New Years. Not sure what to expect but the night was amazingly fun, sexy and everyone had such a great sense of humour. The host Nikita was awesome and big thankyou to Jessie for looking after us most of the night, she killed it and was absolutely amazing, we will go again for sure. Shoutout to Lara as well who was also amazing. Food was really good too!

Honestly not really my kind of thing, but credit is deserved. Not ashamed to say I had a fantastic evening. Went there for a bucks. Food was above expectations. The prawn ravioli was a banger. Should be available as a main. The girls were lovely. Nikita the floor manager cracked me up with her command of the room. Would have loved to have more staff like her throughout my career...

What an amazing night my partner Ashley and I had! The vibe was just awesome, all the girls were gorgeous and gave us so much attention. We both wish we booked a second time while staying in Sydney as it was by far the best experience out of all the venues we attended in Sydney. The host Chloe was exceptional and always made sure we were having a good time. Thanks Chloe and thanks Bianca for making it so memorable! We can’t wait to come back again!

My Wife and I have had the pleasure of visiting three times over the past 9 months and every time has been incredible. All of the staff are lovely and do an amazing job of ensuring we feel very comfortable and special. A huge shout out to Chloe, she does a superb job in managing front of house and her role as MC. Her attentiveness, care and consideration for the whole team of staff and looking out for them is an absolute credit to the business and the wonderful atmosphere created. The waitresses genuinely all seem happy to be there which is really important to us and the length of employment is tribute to that and will keep us coming back.

Came here twice while staying in the cross and ordered the same thing both times because it was just that good. The chirashi and a sashimi set with an extra miso soup, all shared between 2. The most buttery delicate tuna sashimi I’ve ever had in my life. Amazing sashimi overall and beautiful presentation. Moody, lowlight atmosphere which translated to a very peaceful atmosphere during lunchtime, lots of people were there solo enjoying an exquisite lunch which is always a great sign. I absolutely loved it.

Fresh Sashimi, Waygu dishes we had were fantastic. The eggplant dish amazingly delicious!
johnny rait - 6 months ago

Good quality traditional Japanese food in the local area. Sashimi is very fresh. The only disappointment was the karage chicken where the flavours were slightly muted. Staff very friendly and would recommend!
Eleanor Cheng - a year ago

Stumbled onto to this and it was a gem find. The staff were so nice finding us a table as we didn't have a booking. The food was amazing and seemed to be prepared with care and love. The sashimi was fresh, the grilled eggplant with two types of miso was so good and the duck was pretty amazing as well.
Dao Lam - 2 years ago

Pros: Sashimi are fresh. Customer service is good. Cons: 1. Slightly over priced with the given grade of this restaurant. 2. Portion is small (5 dishes ordered for 2 ppl, not felt like anywhere near full) 3. Menu choices are limited. 4. Dishes are just ordinary, lack a bit of spark. just a bit plain in both tastes and presentation.

Visited this eatery as a solo diner without a reservation. I got my seat at the counter. I asked for omakase, and I think they served me extra food that was not on the menu. Everything was good and I was pretty happy.

Last nights spontaneous dinner choice @yachiyojapanesebistro in Darlinghurst. Whilst it’s not immaculate presentation, the food was nice and it isn’t crazy expensive. We had their sashimi, Balmain bug sushi, miso grilled cod (this only $22) and slow cooked wagyu! Casual dining space and beer on tap.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Food has always been great! I came back here from time to time and quality have never dropped. Recently, booked for a group of 7 and ordered the Me so hungry set. Very generous portion. Good food and good value for money.

A good selection of sake, tap beers, Japanese gins, other spirits, plum wine (ume shu). A la carte nigiri sushi selection is good, split into everyday and rare seafoods. Kingfish carpaccio very fresh, as was the chu toro tuna and scallop nigiri sushi we ordered. Many fried and deep fried options available, including pop corn cauliflower, agedashi toufu and oblong gyoza that manages to replicate the taste of the classic Aussie sausage roll down to a T but is sadly a far cry from the pan fried gyoza of Ichiban Boshi. Flavours and presentation of all the dishes we tried overall were quite acceptable but not exceptional. Friendly and helpful staff. 3.5 stars for this quintessential Darlo Road Izakaya experience. Would I go back? Maybe, given the right circumstances.

Unfortunately this was the second time my wife and I went to Yachiyo and the 2 dishes she wanted were not available. The food we ordered (sushi boat, egg plant, pork gyoza and salad) were all great,

I had dinner one night while staying at the Holiday Inn hotel. I had the bangers and mash with vegies. Absolutely superb. Mouth watering sausages, wow.

The Holiday Inn Potts Point in Kings Cross is only a stones throw from the Coca Cola sign. It is an area that is replacing night clubs with a thriving restaurant scene. The Holiday Inn has comfortable rooms with all of the required amenities and the location allowing guests to book rooms overlooking Sydney's famous harbour landscape and cityscape, as well as the botanic gardens. It is a great place to explore Sydney from. The hotel restaurant Siricco caters to visitors and locals alike. The recently upgraded Sirocco resraurant has a large open kitchen and chic dining space, providing meals through out the day. With the $25 buffet breakfast being a great opportunity to try the honey produced on site by an urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel. There are also smaller options and ala carte available. The Sirocco menu has something for everyone with a range of entrees, salads, pizza, pasta and items from the grill. There is also an option to build your own burger. Sirocco also offers reasonably priced meals for hotel guests and locals with $12 daily meal specials $15 with a drink. They have a great drink menu with a great range of alcoholic beverages availible including some nice wines. They also have variety of non alcoholic options including juices, coffee and teas. The sharing menu is perfect for a group meal or if you are visiting for a corporate event. With some morish starters including the crispy fried salt & pepper calamari, marinated fried chicken and for a healthy touch: the roasted and pickled baby beetroot salad. For mains, a favourite was the BBQ share platter. With a stack of mouth watering meat options including the BBQ blasted pork ribs, scotch fillet steak and served with onion rings. There is also the tasty grilled Atlantic salmon share plate. Now for the sweetest thing- dessert. The creamy Baileys Creme Brulee and the di vinely silky Honey Panacotta made with the honey sourced from their own urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel. Thanks to The Holiday Inn Potts Point and Sirocco for the hospitality.

The harbor side views from the room, the breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner menus make it impossible to want to leave the hotel! Kids under 12 dine for free and there’s a great feature bar in this open space that gets a lot of natural light. The new menu is hearty, comforting and an uncomplicated bistro style. A lot of places in Sydney do not allow smoking and it’s kind of refreshing to see designated areas in the outside dining area for this and not the usual shame corner you have to search for in a back alley or side street. There’s a perfect balance in the CRISPY FRIED SALT & PEPPER SQUID - many places in my opinion go a bit too far with the salty element, but they’ve toned it down here which is really to my preference! The MARINATED FRIED CHICKEN features cornbread, baby rocket and jalapeño aioli and there’s a mix of ideas in this remnant of the deep south of the U.S.A with hints of Latin America, set to guarantee this as a major favorite. Aesthetically, the ROASTED & PICKLED BABY BEETROOT SALAD wins hands down and delivers some seriously tantalizing flavor. Jeweled burgundy beet rough cuts & pearl white blobs of bocconcini on a bed of baby spinach greenery, sprouts of lentil, specks of quinoa is an orgy of texture play with an intermittent crunch from the caramelized walnuts. It’s all bound together with a cooked wine dressing (Vincotto). Exquisite. Share platters of CHAR GRILLED SCOTCH FILLET & PORK RIBS and GRILLED ATLANTIC SALMON were the perfect mains from land and sea. Chunky cuts of Salmon, large ribs and well cooked steak. It was a smorgasbord of sweet and sour. The homemade BAILEY’S CREME BRULEE was a nice change from the standard vanilla custard cliche, simple and satisfying. However, it’s the ROOFTOP HONEY PANACOTTA that is a must should you be forced to choose between the two. The taste of honey is unique to the pollen collected by Sydney working bees, and on the rooftop are a number of hives that the Holiday Inn & Sirocco Kitchen extract this SydneyCity honey from! From Rushcutters Bay Park to Hyde Park or even the Royal Botanic Gardens, it truly is a unique flavor you can only find here if you know your honeys… Silver Star service, daily specials, there’s so many reasons to come back and not many reasons to make you want to leave the luxurious hotel!!!

Food are really tasty w reasonable price. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good. There is one thing i dont like is waiting for food to ur table bc it's quite long. ~ 20-30' for each course.
MAY H VU - 4 years ago

Maybe the lowest rating I've ever given a restaurant. Stayed at the hotel for a week and decided to try the restaurant one evening. Ordered the chicken. Very underwhelming. It was the size of a chicken ring. Price was high for what you get. Colleague's steak was over cooked. The service was virtually none existent. Although friendly when dealt with. The only reason it gets two stars is because the breakfast buffet was reasonable.
