The first Korean restaurant I went when I started work in Sydney 2012.
Ever since than I will drop by once a while for a meal or two with my friends and colleagues after work or after booze hour as they open till past midnight.
Food is really good missus loves their spicy pork especially, but a year or two back the dishes seems to shrinks. Cutting cost maybe but still we keep on visiting as the atmosphere and ambience is cool and friendly and service is fast and efficient too.
Pressing the bell on the side of table for ordering or service. Staff will always repeat your order to final confirm. All the floor staff are Korean, even the manager but simple English is no problem to them. If they can’t answer your questions, they would ask the manager or senior to attend your table so there is nothing to worry bout the orders got wrong.
It’s very busy every time and sometimes we have to wait for half an hour + to get a table for 2 only but the place is really good, consider on the fast pace and non-stop customers coming in and out.
You wouldn’t regret to dine in here for sure, I’ve been around for 6 years in madang and still can’t get enough of it. Had my pre 40th birthday dinner and drinks last year there too.

Fried Chicken is amazing,under the good skill of frying and delicious sauce~What I ordered is the sweet and spicy flavor. Highly recommended! (I will suggest it as my favorite fried Korean style chicken in city)
Spicy seafood soup and noodles are under average restaurant level, which are not bad and not excellent as well.
Environment is clean but poor lighting.

Loved this Korean BBQ place. Queue was a bit of a wait despite being a Tuesday night, but it was worth it. The seafood pancake was crispy and had lots of flavour. The meats were marinated and they changed the hot plates regularly. The fried chicken was good, too.

Friendly and efficient service. Venue was very Covid aware which was reassuring. Food was very nice but not outstanding. We had the BBQ option. The Wagyu Beef option was the most expensive option, but it was a little bit tough - it seemed to have a low fat content. Not sure if it was really Wagyu or not? Some options for mixed platters of beef, pork, chicken and seafood together would be a nice addition. Decent value for the price paid.

Nice and authentic Korean restaurant with gas/charcoal grills. You have around 20 different meats to choose from for the grill, partially marinated and partially raw. The waiters are nice, fill up the side dishes on request, and also frequently change the grill plates on which you put the meat on. You also have Korean beer and 2 Soju to choose from as well. Would recommend visiting.

Two Bars. One Night. Zero Regrets — Sydney’s Hottest Girl's Night Out Spot 🍸🔥
Last night was a dangerously delicious adventure — we hit Stitch Bar and Buttons Bar in one night… and honestly? My tastebuds are still processing. 😌🔥
🥩 From a 600g flame-grilled ribeye that ended my self-control…
🍹to cocktails with names like Come What May, Maple & Ash and The Roller Derby (all of which slayed me in different ways)…
all the way to Buttons Bar where we ordered 🥃cocktails literally “For The Plot” and calmed our “Status: The Anxiety” with more tequila than therapy. 💛
And the food?
🌮Tuna tostada, birria tacos, barramundi tacos, 🌯🫔quesadillas — my love language is small plates and big flavours 💋🌮
AND only $6 tacos!! ❤️
If you’re looking for a night out that’s fun, vibey, and just chaotic enough…
Stitch x Buttons Bar is the duo you didn’t know you needed.
Because sometimes the best nights happen when you don’t plan — you just go.

Had a really awesome time here, I couldn't believe it was quiet on a Friday night. The kitchen was still open at midnight so we got some amazing food and the cocktails were creative and delicious. Definitely coming back to my new favourite spot and huge thanks to Jonah and Ash who were on that night and made us feel welcome.

The Menu was full of numerous vegetarian dish options. Several types of soups. Almost ordered the Avocado Soup, was very curious, but opted for the Wonton Soup instead. Lots of fancy, good looking dishes, with nice flavours. All quite tasty. However, I found it odd...a Chinese restaurant...didn't have any Fried Rice or Chow Mein dishes. These could easily have been incorporated into their vegetarian theme.
Place was busy!! So seems very popular. Thus, resulting in a need to make reservations.

Absolutely fantastic place, we were so happy to find a Chinese restaurant that is both vegan and has plenty of gluten free options for those with intolerances. Mother Chu herself is delightful, very sweet and offers excellent service. We got a variety of dishes and all were top quality in taste and fair serving sizes, but our absolute favourite was the 8 grain desert with rice balls, which had sesame in them! The flavours were so well balanced, it was rich but not heavy, and the texture of the rice was perfect. Good came out within 15 minutes of ordering and I also really appreciated that there was no background music and it was easy to talk to one another.

This was highly recommended by someone, and we wanted to try how a complete vegetarian Chinese restaurant will taste like ! And it was as really great! There were lots of options and had added pictures to make your choice as a lot of ingredients were unknown and a lot of dishes we tried for the first time ! We had a great time picking and choosing and everything tasted great.. couldn’t really pick up on anything negative. Service however faltered.. dishes were brought in late, the server kept forgetting things that we had asked for and that basically costed them five stars. A good food accompanied by good service is what people come for. However still thing the restaurant is great and a must try if you are in city

A must visit for vegans in Sydney! Such delicious food. We had the moss soup, spring rolls, tofu stir fried, and vegetarian curry and all were 10/10. Managed to squeeze in dessert, which was the summer bun and the star of the show. Thank you Mother Chu!

I tried their Korean fried chicken and it was SO good! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the sauce perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too spicy. The portion was generous and the flavor really hit the spot. The place has a nice vibe and the staff were friendly too. Definitely a must-try if you’re craving proper Korean fried chicken! 🍗✨

Best Korean BBQ buffet i’ve ever been to, and trust me i’ve been to countless over Sydney. With this price and quality i doubt there’s anywhere else you’d want to go because it not only has the widest menu range i’ve seen in all of sydney but it is tasty as well.
I highly recommend and the staff is extremely nice and checks up on you frequently and wait time isn’t long either often coming within around 5-10 mins max!

After 15+ years, this is still my favourite Korean BBQ restaurant.
Go to dishes:
Goon man doo (fried dumplings)
Hae mul pajeon (seafood pancake)
Youk hwei (beef tartare)
Mul neng myun (cold noodles)
Woo seol (ox tongue)
Wash it all down with some beer, soju or my personal favourite, makgeolli.

A hidden gem for meat lovers! They serve both grilled meat and hotpot, with excellent meat quality and flavors that are rich yet refreshing. The place can be a little hard to find, but it’s so worth it once you dine here. Enjoying the meal with friends makes the experience even more delightful. Highly recommended for a cozy and satisfying food adventure!
