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.

We absolutely love coming to Mother Chu's Vegetarian Kitchen as a family. Every dish we’ve tried has been fantastic. Our kids can’t get enough of the crispy gluten with wonton noodle soup, while we keep going back for the chilli noodle soup. The flavours are just beautiful — fresh Thai basil, lemongrass and Thai chilli make the broth incredibly fragrant and flavourful. It’s comforting, satisfying and full of authentic taste. Definitely one of our favourite vegetarian spots!

We had a birthday celebration and the food was delicious. The Peking duck was not what we expected, but overall the food was delicious and I would highly recommend it for vegetarian and vegan diners. Even if you are not strictly a vegan, this restaurant has delicious nutritious and beautifully presented food with great service in the heart of Sydney.

Quick fix for vegetables/tofu and soy dishes! There are so many choices and sauces and combinations. We ordered the clay pot tofu with vegetables. Steamed eggplant and soy meat with basil sauce. Dishes were served fast and pretty generous proportions.

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.

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

Not a Smokey kbbq spot! Hahaha had the beef rib set and the waitress was surprised and warned us that it was a lot for 2 people…and she was right! Beef that melted in your mouth, the myung jang way to eat (think beef sushi with chilli pesto) - soooooo delicious, and the banchan selection was elite. The set came with 4 ribs, the sushi rice and pesto, the cheese corns the egg soufflé …and the tofu stew. Definitely left satisfied!

A hidden gem tucked behind a construction site—definitely one to keep to myself! The food was amazing, and the staff were very friendly. Conveniently located in the heart of the city. Perfect for company dinners, gatherings with friends or family, and even dates. Highly recommended!

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! 🍗✨

The buffet offers a wide variety of meat and pork options. The soup was delicious, and the cold noodles were absolutely outstanding

I am so thrilled to have discovered this new Thai spot! Finding a fresh addition to the Sydney food scene that truly stands out isn't easy, but this place absolutely nails it. ​The food across the board was nothing short of amazing, bursting with authentic, vibrant flavors. But the absolute star of the show for me was the lamb skewers—perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. They are a total must-order! You also cannot leave without saving room for dessert. The mango sticky rice is 100% a must-try and easily the best I've had—the perfect sweet, creamy finish to the meal. ​The service was lovely, and the atmosphere made the whole dining experience even better. If you are looking for your next favorite Thai destination in Sydney, do yourself a favor and check this place out. I will definitely be back!

Excellent food choices for two if you want to experience different types of grilled meat. The fried rice with veggies was a bomb, creating an amazing combination of flavours. Would definitely come back!!

Was a bit disappointed to be honest... The food is definitely "farang Thai" - made for foreigners and can be hit n miss. The Prawn Cakes were good, but the Massaman was far too oily (you could see the oil separate and pool on top of the curry in the bowl) and the Pad Thai was way off being authentic (thin noodles...? And who puts sultanas (!) in Pad Thai?) One of the staff was nice, the rest were just doing their job. I don't even think they were Thai - they either refused or couldn't speak Thai when we tried to communicate/order things, which was weird. I try to find positives and don't often leave negative reviews but being honest, this place was underwhelming.

Give this Thai place a go for dinner. It was ok but wish the dishes could be better. We ordered the Stir fried mix vegetable with glass noodle and Pork green Curry to go with a plate of steamed rice. The food are flavorful but at the same time very oily and salty. The unexpected thing is the green curry had a pool of oil as topping. The stir fried veggie had good aroma of wok hei but too salty without having it with the rice. Lemon Ice tea I have no problem which I need for the oily and salty dishes. The staff are nice and helpful, food comes out very fast. But the seating we had is tight and very close to the next table so kind of noisy. I might go again for their stir fried dishes but pass on the curries.
