Jay S.

Alex Lee is situated in the heart of Spice Alley, a great cluster of 'street food' inspired restaurants just next to Kensington street. We ordered the crispy pork and rice as well as a dish from the special board - pork belly, rice and satay skewers. Despite it being a pretty busy Saturday night, our food arrived quickly. The pork from both dishes was tender and juicy and lent a nice little crunch thanks to a thin lining of crackling on top of each slice. It was served slightly colder than expected, though I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. The satay skewers had a nice peanut flavour profile with crunchy pieces of peanuts scattered in the sauce. The chicken itself was tasty and cooked with care as it still retained some juiciness.

Chicken katong laksa

Nested in Spice Alley, a smallish pedestrian walk way of Asian eateries. I tried ngoh hiang ($13) for the first time and it was glorious. Juicy minced pork wrapped in a crispy tofu skin. I was there for an early lunch and it was made to order. Deep fried but wasn't overly oily or heavy. We also had the chicken katong laksa ($13) which was equally delicious. The chicken was tender and the soup had the flavorful curry and coconut milk notes that you'd expect from a good laksa. Seating is food court style and very clean.

My friends rave of this place - to the point where the staff knows them by name and waits on them hand and foot kind of deal. But it's good, tonight I got to reap the benefits. One of my favorite things about Newtown is that many restaurants are BYO. Tonight we brought in a Rose bottle to have with our dinner, and it was delectable let me tell you that. On the vegan menu there are about 15 different options. My friends said I had to try the 'Momo,' which is a dumpling either panfried or poached. An order came with about 6 and it was so yummy. Next, I ordered the vegan chow mein. I've had sooo many vegan chow mein or veggie chow meins back home that literally make me want to barf. This was not the case at all. Huge serving, lots of veggies and moist. I added some chili oil and a lil salt and I was suddenly in food heaven or food coma, I cannot tell the difference. My friends shared about five different things including a dumpling miso soup. It looked rad and by their content faces, the flavor seemed to be a winner too. Another win on King Street, with an asian fusion menu and vegan options around, this place gets a lot of love in Newtown.

Oodles of noodles at Wok on Inn street noodle bar in East Village!…read more The menu is Asian street food with inspiration taken from all over Asia. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are bold and authentic. Choose from popular menu choices like Cashew Nut Noodles, Uncle's Drunken Noodles or Pad Thai - or - create your own noodle style! Create your own noodle dish by picking a type of noodle or rice, flavour and then add your protein. Fun styling welcomes you as you walk through the glass doors. Order at the bar and choose to dine-in or take away. On this occasion we chose to dine-in and sit on wooden stools and watch the world go by. The restaurant is vibrant filled with bright colours and images on the walls. The mains arrive piping hot, without delay. Although, we had almost finished our mains when our sides of curry puffs came out but the timing didn't worry us in this casual setting. We had the Laksa Soup and Penang Satay Noodles with a side of curry puffs. All were delicious and would be happily ordered again. Check out Wok on Inn's newest restaurant in Zetland. It makes for a yummy, easy meal which is reasonably priced.

I've been to the Chin Chins in Melbourne several times and had a great time. The food was awesome,…read moregreat service and it had an awesome vibe. This Chin Chins was over disappointing!! I looked yo book online, several times were open so several of us walked about 2km, passed by 100s of great restaurants to find Chin Chins closed for a private function. Instead of having an amazing meal we had to find a pub that was still serving food and an ok dinner. I doubt I'll ever come back!!

I heard amazing reviews about this place and I just had to check it out on my last day in Sydney!…read moreWe came pretty early, so it wasn't too crowded and service was really fast! But it definitely got a lot more crowded after 7pm and the music was pretty loud. The vibe overall was amazing though! The food was definitely the highlight of the visit! We ordered the pork belly drunken noodle and BBQ King Salmon wrapped in banana leaf. I love the mixture of flavors and how good it was! We also ordered the crispy salt and pepper bug tails from the large plate and it was really tasty! I love the balance of the flavors in all the food! I didn't order the drinks, but my friends did and they said it was really good too! It was more on the sweeter side, but overall, was still really good! This place is definitely worth the hype! Go and visit them while you're in Sydney!

Came here on a Saturday evening at around 6.30pm and it was packed already ! The restaurant is…read morequite small - there are probably just 10 tables or so. Food was good but I am only giving a three stars because of a few annoying things - I sent a message to them on their website a week in advance, hoping to make a reservation. No reply. It turned out that they do not take reservations, but still, a reply would have been nice - Food took FOREVER. I get it, a small restaurant and hence a small kitchen. But it shouldnt take over 20 mins to cook some dumplings. - waitress didnt know the menu? ("I dont' really know what is it, as it's the first day on the menu"). Not cool. - Tables are pretty close to one another, I didnt like how you cant help but to overhear others' conversation and vice versa. Dumplings were pretty decent ,so was the beef curry - meat was sooo tender + grilled yummy roti ! I would recommend this place if you are around the area, but if not, dont bother :)

Missy K is ridiculously good in everything they do; I can't believe it took me so long to try it…read moreout! The dumpling flavours are unique and worthy of a try (I loved the snowpea and crab and the prawn and scallop). I also highly recommend the Lamb Shank Massaman, the flavours were rich and perfect on a Winter's night. You cannot book at this restaurant so I suggest you head there early as it's quite small and every table was taken the whole time we were there. Prices are also very reasonable considering the service and quality of food was so good. Will definitely be returning to try more dumplings!

US Reviewer here!…read more TL;DR - Chef Dan Hong is a genius. This was one of my favorite restaurants I tried at Sydney thanks to my awesome colleagues at work who took us there. If you want amazing Asian-Fusion food, this is the place to go. Review: This was highly recommended by my work colleagues here in Sydney and since I was only familiar with CBD, they were kind enough take us there by tram. I'm so glad I went with them. Location (3/5): It's an interesting location but I heard from the locals that it's an expensive area. The funny thing is that maybe a couple of blocks away is the red-light district. Heard it's gotten more low-key after the lock-down laws took impact though. Overall, it was a cool neighborhood to just eat/chill/drink. Restaurant (5/5): I love the concept of Ms. G's. It's a restaurant in this 3 to 4 story building and I love the huge open windows and asian-inspired decorations. You connect with the restaurant really quickly and it just had a good vibe. Service (5/5): The wait-staff was amazing. Our group was pretty large (around 10 people) and they were really on top of their game. Water was always filled, food came out on time, and they came back often to make sure we were doing okay. I really felt taken care of here. Food (5/5) - AMAZING. I'm not going to go over all the dishes we ordered but please take a look at the pics. Every dish we ordered I thought was amazing but here are the ones I thought were extra special: 1.) Cheeseburger Spring Roll - $6 Each - How the hell did he do it? He literally made a McDonald's Big Mac into a spring roll. It was one of the coolest dishes I ever ate. Definitely get this one when you go. 2.) Mini Bahn Mi - $7.5 Each - SO GOOD! Definitely my favorite dish of the nice. It was like a burger Bahn Mi and I love the soft buns and the crunchy chicken katsu. Perfect combo. I am definitely coming back here again to eat. Hands down one of the best places to go to in Sydney.

This place was recommended to us by Cam from Acme and he was spot on. In fact, this was the first…read moreplace we went to right off our 15 hour flight. We literally walked there from our hotel through the Botanical Gardens. (It was a long walk.) But bottom line, it's a great asian fusion spot that makes great coffee and baked goods. Their restaurant is slightly below street level and has outdoor and indoor seating. The neighborhood is reminiscent of Boston's Back Bay if you've ever been there, so it's not a sketchy area. Since we were past breakfast, we had the lunch menu only available to us. (However their breakfast menu looked SICK and I totally need to go back next time.) They had run out of some things on their menu when we were there, but the food we did have was great. We started with the scallion pancake with jambon (if you like pancetta you'll like this). That was fantastic. Then we had the soup with enoki mushrooms. That too was flavorful and not too spicy. The fresh tofu in it was soft and the soup itself was like a lighter version of a korean soon du bu soup. We also had the eggplant which has this fantastic thick miso-esque sauce on top of it. Make sure you order a bowl of rice (it's a legit bowl of sticky white rice) because you're going to want it to mop up that eggplant sauce and eat it with the soup. It was a hot day so our waiter recommended the taiwanese shave ice dessert. However, we went for the yuzu cheesecake because if it wasnt hot, that's what he'd typically recommend. It was light, slightly citrusy from the yuzu, and had small little flowers on the plating. Good choice sir, good choice. Between the dessert coming out, I went to check out the baked goods in the case we passed on the way in. I had the hardest time deciding. They had a matcha cookie, a nori miso sesame cookie, a sourdough cookie, and a double chocolate cookie. Choosing what to eat is really hard and I usually will get them all if I cant decide. But I only let myself pick 2, however, they were nice enough to throw in the other 2!! Love them! The nori cookie was the right balance between savory and sweet and the miso made the cookie taste like peanut butter a little. The matcha was surprisingly good because it tasted like it was made of GOOD matcha and not overwhelmingly sweet like some places tend to do. The sourdough cookie was chewy and big. And the chocolate cookie is nice and decadent. Honorable mention: I saw some people eating the fried chicken and that looked amazing. Get that. And tell me how delicious it is because I have no doubt that it's good. The service here was amazing. Our water was always filled, our waiter gave us great recs on food and where to walk post meal, and they went the extra mile to make sure our first meal in Australia was fantastic. Not a lot of people know about how good this place is since it's been open for less than 2 years I believe, but go check it out!

A well hidden restaurant but definitely worth the hunt. Located on the lower ground level on the…read moreleft side of the building, we definitely walked the entire round before we found it. Be careful of the tiny first step down the stairs that you might totally miss! Paper bird was a lot bigger than I thought it would be from the outside. Excellent service, casual and fun atmosphere. Great place for groups or a casual fun date with your special one. Appetisers were very reasonable (11-15AUD) and mains were in the typical range (25-40AUD). We came here for the "Korean fried chicken" but also found some other delicious sounding appetisers to try. Scallion pancakes with jamon ($13) - great crispy pancake and very good umami flavour with the jamon. I loved how generous they were with the jamon, but be frugal with the amount per pancake you pair with, the jamon could get a little too salty. Beef Bulgogi on zucchini tart with salsa mayo ($14) - very rich flavour from the beef bulgogi and great crispy tart base. Not sure I got much taste from the zucchini.. the salsa mayo was an interesting pairing with the bulgogi, not sure if I needed it. Soy and spice fried chicken ($27) - definitely the highlight of the meal. As a non chicken fan, my stamp of approval for the fried chicken warrants a must try for everyone. Batter, fried to perfection; sauce, excellent pairing and not too overwhelming; and bonus, meat, tender and flavorful! My husband got some rice to pair with the fried chicken, the rice was nicely flavoured with vinegar as well. Great way to eat the crispy batter! Grifter pale ale ($8) - light hoppy beer. Bubbly. Not my kind of beer but was nice to pair with the fried chicken. Japanese cheesecake with yuzu curd and mango ($15) - the cheesecake was a typical traditional spongecake. Definitely not worth getting on its own. The yuzu curd totally elevated the game, the sour and sweet flavours added a whole new dimension for the dessert. The mango and some sugar crumbs were a good addition for texture. Not sure I'll get it again, but a nice light dessert to end the meal. A great experience for an Asian fusion gastropub! Definitely enjoyed it. Will be back when I have cravings for chicken!
