Off all the ways to find this place, it my folks that stumbled upon Chefs Gallery. My pops actually found this spot. He enjoyed the food enough to return and suggested we all join him. Can't disagree with him... ~ Elderflower Gin & Tonic - 4/5 A good balance of Gin and Tonic. Not strong, just refreshing. ~ CR06. Peking Duck Roti - 4/5 Shredded Peking duck with cucumber, hoisin sauce rolledinside a flaky Chinese roti. Tasty, good flavor...probably because of the Hoisin sauce. This is more like a fusion dish. ~ DS04. Chicken Shui Mai - 4/5 Chicken and prawn shui mai topped with tobiko. Standard Shui Mai, done correctly, very good but not outstanding. ~ HN01. Fried Spinach Noodle w/ Seafood - 5/5 Handmade spinach noodles wok fried with prawns, mussels in shell, calamari, julienned carrots and fresh shiitake mushrooms. AMAZING!!! Those Spinach noodles...I would come here just for those! Delish! Can't say I had Spinach noodles this good before...My new benchmark! ~ HN07. Beef Brisket Noodle - 4.5/5 Handmade noodles served with slow cooked beef brisket and minced beef with diced fresh chilli. So much flavor, love the sauce! Once again...those noodles! This was probably a fantastic dish, but just got out shined by the Spinach Noodles. ~ MD04. Lychee & Mint Duck - 5/5 Our most popular roast duck with lychees served in a light mint and chilli plum sauce (half duck). I thought this sounded strange and didn't know what to expect...sooo glad I tried it! The flavor profile was just amazing. I thought the Lychee and plum would have mad the dish too sweet, but nope! That sauce is one of the best and most creative things I tasted. There is a Gluten Free option available as well! ~ MD09. Diced Salt & Pepper Wagyu Beef - 4/5 Flash fried, medium wagyu beef served in bite sizes with crushed black pepper and a black pepper dipping sauce. Brilliant Beef dish! Love it!! Even though Chefs Gallery is a fairly large venue, it's a popular spot and fills up fast. There were some dishes I didn't even get a chance to take a pic off. I would gladly return here. Honestly there wasn't a single dish here any of us detested or passed on... read more

It's nice that you can reserve a time and seating style in advance. The ordering is mostly done online at the restaurant. This place is definitely the BEST Cantonese restaurant I have ever been to!! Visiting from the US. read more

This place is awesome. My partner and I frequented the Regent Place area majority of our stay in Sydney because they had so many different choices to choose from in terms of eatery. We knew it was there but did not try Chef's Gallery until the last night there. Boy were we full of regrets! First of all, this place is busy. During the weekend, there was no chance we were waiting because the line to get a table was long. This place is pretty big for somewhere in Regent Place. Second of all, you can watch them make their noodles fresh. It's so impressive! Third, the food was amazing. We ordered the Traditional handmade dan dan noodles in spicy sauce with pork chop, duck with lychee with a plum sauce, and Prawns fried rice. My partner ordered the salt and pepper calamari! He specially ordered it, and it was amazing! Everything was awesome. The food came out in a timely manner. The food was also different from a typical Chinese food restaurant. There were some twists to some classics. For the roast duck, they had lychee and plum juice. Not really used to it, but it was awesome! In the end, we had wished we had gone there prior to our last night. Overall great experience, great service. Will definitely be back! read more

This was one of those restaurants where it's hard NOT to play with your food. They had the funniest shaped buns and desserts, that my family and I couldn't help but mess around with our food. To be honest the food wasn't that great, but it was better than Panda Express in San Francisco, if you know what I mean. I remember this place being pretty expensive, but it was also hard for me as a tourist to find Asian food in Australia. read more

Very aesthetic restaurant with bright, contrasting colours. Perfect for those with a "camera eats first" mentality. The cocktails are pretty, but lacking in taste. The food was really good, but became too salty the more we ate. What we ordered: -Duck Roti -Soft Shell Crab -Peking Duck (half) -Australian Wagyu Pepper Beef -Pan Fried Roast Pork Buns -Lobster Longevity Noodles -Dan Dan Noodle Soup Overall, the food was great. Our favorites were the roast pork buns, lobster noodles, and the fried chicken cutlet that comes with the dan dan noodles. Service was a bit slow, but it seems they were just understaffed that day as it was a holiday. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

If anything could remind me of the food paradise of Hong Kong (and the bajillion years since I last visited), this place would probably take the award to being the closest. I was super excited to try this place out. I had bookmarked this place, thinking this would be the place that'd Hong Kong. The entrance is really weird; at first, I went in through the door at the shopping center and was told the main entrance is the street entrance. They made me go back out and go in through the street entrance, when all it could take was a walk across the restaurant. Seriously?! It was extremely busy, especially for a Wednesday night. Since it was just my mother and I, we were seated at the edge by the kitchen, where you can see where all the magic happens. The menu is extensive; there's an interesting fusion of South Asian flavors and they seem to present their food beautifully through nice photographs, but that is about it. Lamb Roti: Very oily, spicy, and saturated with too much flavoring/powder. The roll broke apart easily and the meat didn't taste too fresh. This was just overall very disappointing. The party next to us also ordered this and they did not finish this. Fried Egg and Spinach Tofu: Didn't really taste the difference between this and the regular fried tofu at your typical, run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant, other than a layer of seaweed was served on top. Softshell Crab: Probably my favorite of the entire meal. A lot of flavors going on and the fried batter was so delicious, I continued to eat the scraps after we finished the softshell crab! For drinks, I had the Lychee Mint Juice. It was okay, but it was too iced up, you'd think there'd be juice as pictured. My mother had the Globe amaranth and jasmine tea bulb and said there was nothing special--the flowers were mostly just for show. The presentation is great, but taste-wise, it is average at best for pricey food. I'm being generous with three stars, when the food, at best, is really worth two star. I had a great seat, watching food being made on the stoves and steamers. One disturbing moment I witnessed was watching the enraged manager scream at one of the workers for trying to take a quick break in the kitchen and catching a quick bite. Obviously, I couldn't hear anything behind the glass, but it was clear what was going on and extremely hard to watch. I really hope this review will bring some light for the employees and their break hours. read more

Good food and you can watch them prepare it in the glassed in kitchen. Lunch special is pretty good though a separate menu that was on the table. For some reason I thought from the picture on the outside of the restaurant you would get a bunch of small dishes but you actually have to choose an entree. Good bang for the buck. read more

Chefs Gallery Townhall - BBQ Delights Rice Lunch Set - Chinese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Chefs Gallery is well known for producing great Chinese food. They have numerous locations due to the quality if their product. We visited their Town Hall site. A large restaurant situalted in Regent Place, with an open kitchen catering to the masses, with the staff easily servicing the restaurant without too much fuss. The menu is a book of excitement with dim sum, hand made noodles, stirfries and desserts. The drinks menu also has a number of interesting options including the lychee and mint ice crush and also some infused hot teas. Foodwise, we were torn by choice, wanting to order almost everything on the menu. Instead we limited ourselves to some key options of fresh noodles and interesting flavours we hadn't tried before. We ordered a variety of meals from each section of the menu. To start, we couldn't go past the light flaky roti and the prawn har gau dumplings - wonderful transparent pockets filled with goodness. You can certainly tell how fresh they are from first bite. We of course had to order the noodles, made in house and went with their prawn and pork combination wonton and noodles. Pretty spicy but great flavour! We are also fans of the flavour known as numb, a strange sour like metallic taste which comes from the szechaun pepper. When we spotted the numb chicken on the menu we had to order this. An intriguing dish to try if you enjoy spice; combining chicken, vegetables, cashews, chilli and the flavour explosion from the numb sauce. Make sure you save room for dessert. The desserts at chefs gallery are always fun. Whether it be a farm scene, fairies and unicorn in the clouds or an emoticon custard bun, which is what we got this time . Remember when your parents would tell you not to play with your food, forget that. We had the custard bun, knowing we could have fun by poking a hole in the mouth and giving it a squeeze to have some custard spew out. This was not only fun, it was tasty too. Thanks to Chef's Gallery for their hospitality and for the invitation from Matt at Cardinal Spin. We recommend a visit to Chefs Gallery for an enjoyable and tasty experience. read more

Had a wonderful meal here. Came here at 5:30 right when it opened. My friend and I were slightly overwhelmed by the extensive menu. I knew though I had to get noodles after seeing noodles being freshly made. I ordered the pan fried lamb cutlets and prawn and pork wonton noodle dish. My friend had the classic wok fried rice and pan fried pork and cabbage pot stickers. The food came out pretty quickly. My noodle dish was huge with five wontons and plenty of noodles. The shanghainese sauce was amazing with lots of flavor. It had some spice with out it overpowering the dish. The lamb cutlets were my favorite dish of the night. I highly recommend for anyone who likes lamb. They were cooked perfectly and so tender. The lemongrass, fried garlic and shallots added a nice crunch. My friend enjoyed her fried rice and the potstickers were humongous. For dessert, we both had an egg custard bun. They are imprinted with emojis, which just made them too cute! The buns were nice and soft and had a sweet custard inside. Overall, a fantastic meal. I would happily go back to chef's gallery and try new dishes! read more

My friend and I took this place apart. I'm talking, we went completely Michael Bay. There was shattered furniture and broken chefs lying amidst the smoking ruins in the aftermath of the eating binge we wrought upon Chefs Gallery. A trembling woman peeked out from beneath an upturned table, wondering if it was safe to come out yet. As far as Asian food goes, this is up there. Way, way up there. The menu reads like a fat kid's Christmas list. Legions of dumplings, dan dan noodles, soft rotis, seafood, inventive vegetarian dishes. You name it, they got it. Plus there's the gold-trimmed, ever-changing seasonal menu. We hit both. Hard. And waddled out of that place with our belts undone and a mix of soy, black vinegar and chilli oil dribbling down our chins and into at least one of our beards. Here's the casualty list: - King prawns coated in salted duck's egg yolk ($34.90) - Mixed dim sim sampling platter with cold cucumber salad ($19.90) - Trilium prawn dumplings topped with three kinds of caviar ($16.90) - Tataki wagyu beef with Sichuan style dressing ($15.90) - Prawn & pork wontons in Shanghainese spicy sauce ($8.90) - Fluffy Chinese roti with pork floss ($8.90) - Wok fried green beans with minced pork ($14.90) - Steamed sesame piggy face buns ($7.90) Stand back, folks. Nothing to see here. I'm lying there totally is, we shall be worshiped as conquering heroes upon return to our respective villages! Huzzah! read more

I made a reservation for 11:30 AM on a Saturday for a party of two and we were the first people to arrive for lunch. It seems like this place starts getting busy at noon because we were the only people in the restaurant for awhile. My partner and I had seen this place the night before when we were walking back to our hotel and it looked pretty cool from the outside due to the lighting, also it was absolutely packed. As a fan of dim sum I was surprised to learn there was such a thing as dim sim, it's an Aussie thing I guess because they use lamb and thicker casings for the dumplings as opposed to the more traditional dim sum. It seems like the menu has changed a whole bunch since my visit a few months ago but there are some things we did order that are still included on the new menu. We ordered BBQ Pork Buns (2), Prawn Dumplings (4), Spinach Noodles wok fried w/ Prawn Roe and one order of steamed rice and for dessert we had the Pancakes filled with fresh cream and banana. Everything was cooked to perfection; flavorful, soft and not oily like most dumplings and noodles I've usually had. I would definitely get the noodles without prawn roe next time because I didn't like the crunch of it, but that is just due to my preference in texture. All I have to say is this food is ABSOLUTELY amazing and it's great if you have a view of all the chefs cooking, I even saw one of them actually tasting some of the food! I was so impressed because I've been to a handful of restaurants where you are in view of the kitchen and never had I see any of the chefs actually try what they were putting out. As far as service goes I've seen better, much better. All the servers were so busy that they constantly overlooked my table and the ones around us. The table next to us ordered noodle dishes at the same time and got them a good 10 minutes apart, it was actually pretty hilarious to hear their reactions to that and I sympathized greatly with them. It took us 15 minutes to flag down a server when we needed another drink, seems like they all just look forward and avoid all eye contact with the people dining. The food and the food alone is what makes this place amazing! The presentation is by far the best I've seen as far as dumplings and shumai go and everything is reasonably priced. The service can be overlooked in my opinion simply because the food is just too delicious. read more

I'm a total foodie. That said, I can't believe this place was not on my list of places. I stumbled upon this place on my way to dine at MissChu. When I saw the huge line of people and constant flow both in & out, I knew this place had to be good. There were also various accolades posted in the window that confirmed my intuition; "People Love Us On Yelp" being one of them. I placed my name on the wait list, tore off a number, and waited a short 20 minutes or so. I was seated just in front of the chefs window, which was pretty neat. It was fun watching the chefs make fresh noodles and various other popular dishes. Service was quite awful, but I've learned this to be true of most of my dining experiences in Sydney. When you're seated, don't expect a server to come and greet you or ask for your order. My table mates and I had to flag down a server in order to receive assistance. This place is super busy and, while you'll see servers constantly running around, they never quite stop to service you. And, forget about getting refills on water, beverages, etc. I did not particularly enjoy this rat race of an experience. Especially, given this restaurant has received such high accolades - National best Asian Food Award, etc. However, after the wonderful food experience, the bad service became a distant memory. The food was AMAZING. I ordered: Strawberry Delight - a delicious beverage made of strawberry purée, muddled strawberries, and soda. Just wonderful Spicy Prawn Dumpling - Not too spicy. Wonderful to dip in the sweet & spicy chili sauce. Spicy Prawn Noodles - Good, but tad sweeter than expected. Next time I'll opt for the spicy beef/lamb dish served with spinach noodles. It looked divine. This food here is pretty awesome. Because of this I will definitely return. read more

The space is well situated in the Townhall area of Sydney. Well lit and nice design with a large window into the kitchen. I was alone and there is low bar that singles can sit at and eat. I looked through their menu and it looked amazing but probably better for a group to share a few dishes. I ordered the shrimp and pork wonton noodles. I was mistaken thinking that it was like a traditional Cantonese wonton noodle soup. It was not. I thought the wontons would have both pork and shrimp but instead the wontons are pork and there is whole shrimp in the soup which wasn't a bad thing just unexpected. The bok choy was oddly bitter and the broth had no flavor. I had to ask for chili's and soy sauce to give the dish any flavor. I also ordered the sautéed pea sprouts which was fresh but needed a little salt for my tastes but wasn't bad at all. It was odd there were absolutely no condiments on the tables. Maybe it was because they wanted to maintain a minimalist and clean decor. That being said it was nice of them to bring an entire bottle of still water. I think I will go back but with a group and try their other dishes and maybe that would raise my review but as far as this visit it was A-ok...nothing exemplary. read more

Ok, this place has redeemed itself. I reluctantly agreed to go back and give this place another try after my friend kept going on and on about how great it is. I wasn't upset just disappointed with my experience last time. But I'm a big believer in second chances so went back for a second visit. New menu. New staff. Good service. Great experience. Loved everything we ordered and can't wait to go back. Well done Chefs Gallery. read more

Food - alright. Not the best, but not bad. I feel like the food here is not as authentic as many other Chinese restaurants in the area. Service - they greet you when you enter. service is decent for a Chinese restaurant. One friendly thing for people that isn't familiar with Chinese food, their entire menu is full with pictures. The restaurant is also very clean Will I come back? Yes, because it's clean and good service. One thing to note: they have special offer with the entertainment book for 25% off and Citibank for a free bottle of wine if u spend $50 dollar or more! read more

While it might be because my current home base of Dallas, Texas is so lackluster when it comes to proper Chinese cuisine, but I was truly blown away at the menu breadth, value, and execution at Chefs Gallery. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The seating capacity at Chefs Gallery is significant, but that doesn't keep it from getting crowded even off peak. My party of three rolled in just after it opened on a Wednesday for lunch, and we watched as it very quickly swelled to near capacity. Even so, the service was quick and we were in and out in roughly an hour. The atmosphere at Chefs Gallery is very cool, with traditional Chinese decor coming together with some new age local artsy additions and an open kitchen that's capable of mesmerizing while you wait for you food. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? The menu at Chefs Gallery is truly overwhelming, with Chinese dishes ranging from noodles to dumplings to soups and everything in between. I opted for the Prawn and Pork Wontons atop handmade noodles, which came out to just shy of $16.00 for what was a substantial portion. Good value. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Wow. I've been to great noodle houses, and I've been to amazing dim sum spots, but rarely can a single restaurant pull everything off so well. My wontons were excellent, the noodles were excellent, and the side dishes and noodle dishes of those in my party all got rave reviews and looked amazing. I'm beyond impressed at Chefs Gallery's ability to do everything so well. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Definitely. With such a broad menu and excellent execution I could gladly eat a meal here every day. Star Granted. read more

Chefs Gallery Townhall - Prawn and Pork Wontons with Noodles: $15.90 - Chinese Near Me - Sydney, NSW

It's a great concept for semi-upscale noodle place. It's like the Tin Tai Feng of noodles in town. The dishes are meant to be an unique spin off of all the traditional Chinese noodle dishes ( a mix of northern, southern & Taiwanese styles). Most of the dishes are quiet creative and delicious. The ingredients seemed to be well selected. The noodles are handmade in the glass covered kitchen, so you can see your food being made. The dumplings and appetizers are well made, and even some of my picky eating young guests liked them. Some of my favorites are actually the rice dishes. However, each location varies a slightly in service and presentation quality(I think due to how busy they are). I have gone to another Chefs Gallery in smaller suburbs and found it to be better. Maybe because this location is busy, some of the dishes seemed to be a bit off. If you are a true traditionalist for Northern Chinese noodles, this place may not be the place to be and it's a bit pricy. But this is definitely a good place for a nice sit down meal for some delicious noodles and other dishes. My guests all seemed to enjoy the dishes without any leftovers. read more

This has got to be the best Chinese restaurant I've been to in Sydney! I had a niece turning 12 a few weeks ago and as she is from out of town I was charged with finding us all a place for dinner. I trawled through all the reviews I could find and at the last minute remembered that my partner and I have walked past there millions of times vowing to try ti one day. Great two birds, one stone... She has 3 obsessions that occupy her every thought and conversation, big cats, egyptian (anything) and chinese. So while we took her to the zoo to see the big cats, a pyramid of profiteroles was secretly delivered to the restaurant. They brought the cake to her at the end of dinner with sparklers in it. Mission accomplished, one very ecstatic little girl with all three obsessions experienced in a day. They had amazing food, really nice service (so unusual in Chinese restaurants and generally anywhere in Sydney, including retail). The place appears to be busy all the time and has a buzz of excitement about it. I would recommend you make a booking though as there is often queues of people outside waiting to get in. Oh and if you want an amazing birthday cake, contact me for my friend's details! :) read more

My husband and I passed this place on my first visit to Sydney cuz of cost, but a good friend invited us this year, so we thought it would be worth the splurge for us Americans (the exchange rate helped!). Second only to Petaling Street, this was one of the best Asian meals of our trip. The homemade noodles themselves are fine (wheat noodles are generally pretty boring in my book), but combined with the beef brisket, rocket and pickled radish, I was just floored by the wok hay (shame on me for focusing on sushi). If the meat was cook longer, it would have been perfect. Or friend recommended the duck rolled in roti (nice, really big mouthfuls for me), dumplings in chili oil (nice!), sliders (tasty with mayo, cabbage and pork (?), but not my style). The mango lychee juice had the consistency of a daiquiri - very tasty. The best part was the piggy and chick buns. We were so engrossed in talking that we didn't pay full attention why these are popular. If you give the little chicky a squeeze, it spits up sweet custard cream. So Asian We didn't figure out if the piggy was as interactive (we split each one in half), but I think it would have be more disturbing - it was filled with tasty black sesame paste. read more

Food was yummy. We started with the pork sliders and omg they were delicious my husband and I fought over the last one eventually deciding to cut it in half. Duck roti was also lovely.

It wasn't bad but I would go for more Noodles over it next time. Will definitely return. read more

Second time's a gem! After a not so memorable first visit months ago- think super rushed waiters, no one to acknowledge our reservation and tea spilt on our legs (by accident no doubt but still dampened the mood.. & my shoe heh), this visit was a far more well oiled affair and dare I say, highly enjoyable. We hit up a table for two after booking online. They called earlier in the evening to confirm the booking and let us know they'd hold the table for up to 10 minutes. Great to know they prioritise bookings with the amount of walk-ins they receive daily! The bright and sleek interiors allowed for a comfortable ambiance and we weren't rushed to order, despite taking a while to get there. We decide upon: -Peking roll roti -Squid ink handmade noodles with sesame sauce -Calamari -handmade noodles in soup with pork chop All really good in terms of flavor and serving size. My only quip is that we received one bowl of noodles within 5 minutes of ordering, and waited at least another 5 for the next plate to come. I wouldn't rush back for my Chinese food fix, however I do feel like I've found a solid joint for family gatherings or fancier catch ups with a group of friends. read more

Overall great dining experience! Four of us got there on a weekday at around 6pm. Even though it was a little early for dinner, glad we got there at that time as there was a line half an hour later ! Service was OK , not spectacular but then the restaurant is really busy so i guess the wait staff does not have the time to stand around to chat. Prawn Potsticker ($14.90) - That's probably my favourite dish for this meal. The potsticks are big and packed with prawns! Definitely not stingy with the filling and more importantly, not fried. Fried bun with condensed milk ($7) - Good alternative to the items on the dessert menu Handmade prawn noodles with chilli prawn paste ($17.90) - A little disappointed with this one as the tomato taste is overpowering. Crispy barramundi and pork belly ($29.90) - OK, nothing special Love the mango juice , very refreshing especially in the summer :) read more

Great Chinese food with a modern twist. Make reservations if you plan to dine during prime lunch or dinner hours as the queue can get fairly long. The restaurant is pretty large but they pack it fairly tightly. It's not to say that it's uncomfortable when seated by it can be a challenge getting to your seat if you have a stroller. The menu is very extensive and can be overwhelming but you can't got wrong with most items on the menu. Everything I've had here has been very flavorful and satisfying, not bad meal yet. Must try the Peking duck roti! read more

When you in the town hall area around 6 ish and feel a bit peckish already for dinner. Do not hesitate to walk to Chefs Gallery on Bathurst St just down from the KFC. Generally if you have the foresight you can book ahead online but alas you can always leave you name with the hostess on the door and wait probably around 5-10 min sometimes its longer and sometimes your're in luck! As soon as we arrived there were at least 12 people waiting outside so we asked for a table for 2 and the hostess asked if we didnt mind bench seats....of course not! Zing! Instant table and we faced the kitchen so we could see the guy making fresh noodles! Awesome We ordered the Roti Peking Duck, BBQ Fried Noodles and chilli chicken (which we secretly thing should be called KUNG POW Chicken! Its not hot or spicy its just an awesome name) Everything as usual was mouth-watering! Teamed up with some iced lemon tea! Delish! Waiters are friendly and efficient, Food is quite fast too!

Dined Dec 26 or 27, 2014, during busy lunch rush. We were seated immediately. The waiter didn't speak much English or had a hard time with my American accent, but we got ordered from the extensive menu and our food came out promptly. My husband and I both got a starter and a main -- wish the waiter would have questioned this decision or informed us that the portions are very LARGE. Anyway, we had plenty of hot, delicious food. Had some duck wrap thing and trio of scallops (each done with a bit different type of sauce) to start. Followed by udon bowl with shrimp and pork wontons and veggies, which was HUGE. yummy broth. I tackled as much as I could. Only problems were that I prefer a bit of sugar in my green tea, but they could not accommodate. Also, visiting the restroom on the way out, it was tidy, but the floor was very wet (on slippery tile), so if one wasn't careful, that soggy floor could become a big dangerous issue. I informed the waiter, whom I then overheard informing someone else who sounded like they were on it - so potential crisis averted. Good locale. Great food. Fast service. Maybe a little on the higher priced side for lunch, but considering the location: not unexpected. Overall, glad to have stumbled upon the Chefs Gallery. Thanks! read more

Thinking about the springy, freshly made dan dan noodles cooked Chinese-al-dente and served with broth or served dry, with sauce, is making me hungry even though I just had dinner! My friend and I went on a Friday night and luckily we came just in time before the queues had started. The decor is modern and bright, service is like the typical Chinese service - fast but they don't waste any time greeting customers or playing niceties. Serving sizes are substantial - I ate the spicy dan dan noodle dish before 6pm and couldn't eat anything else until 11:30am the next day! All in all, above average and I would go here again if it was convenient, but I wouldn't make a special trip just to eat here or line up if the lines are humungous. read more

I've been here twice, once for dinner and most recently for lunch. Its a pretty decent Shanghai-nese place, although according to my cousins, they recently changed their menu and have more Chinese and yum cha dishes. The food is pretty tasty, can be a bit greasy but overall its good. My cousin and I came here for lunch around 12. It wasn't too busy but started getting really packed. I had the noodles with prawn and pork wonton, it was really spicy and yummy. We both got the sesame ice cream, which was just okay. Big portion but probably wouldn't order it again. read more

Love this restaurant for a fix of Asian fusion food. The menu is quite large and there is a diverse range of foods that caters everyone.

What a fantastic place to enjoy yourself !! ..... we had a yummy selection of Asian cuisine to choose from and the drinks menu included a good selection of Beers and wines too.

The place was packed at 6:30pm on a Saturday early evening ..... a great sign indeed !! I would like to come back again and try a few different dishes ......

Ordered the prawn and pork wonton with noodles and some gailan. The wonton noodle dish was great. Super tasty though could've used less salt. The gailan was ok.

Decent food, wonderful plating, high prices. The peking duck roti was a flavorful Chinese-Malaysian fusion dish with authentic peking duck wrapped in roti-style pancakes instead of traditional Chinese-style pancakes. Slightly more oily but the texture of roti complements the crispy duck skin. The piggy dessert platter was more of a disappointment. It looked very pretty in pictures but the black sesame filling was too sweet and the marshmallow bunnies tasted like supermarket marshmallow, shaped liked bunnies I guess... Good for kids/taking photos/first dates but really not something that I'd come back to eat. The noodle dishes were authentic but mediocre among noodle dishes served at other Chinese restaurants, but this place is pricey. Especially with many noodle houses around this area, this place is overpriced. read more

I tell you, it was an absolute nightmare finding this restaurant. Not that it's at all hidden, but nobody in Sydney seems to know of it, but being the helpful people that Sydneysiders are, they'll try to direct you there anyway, which translates to me wandering the streets of Sydney's CBD - up and down Pitt and George and every street and shopping centre connecting the two - whilst hungry like the wolf. Needless to say, I was an idiot for leaving my hotel room with simply '501 George St' to guide me - George Street is long mutha of a street. Corner of Bathurst and George - remember it. Anyway, thank you to the kind concierge dude at Westfield for checking the interweb and finding out exactly where the Chef's Gallery is and then showing me on a map how to get there. Thanks, man. The Chef's Gallery is excellent fun. I sat at the counter facing the very large and open kitchen gallery, which was the absolute perfect spot for a gal on her own. And boy was I entertained. Watching the chefs do their thing - pulling and pounding out huge lengths of dough to make noodles, folding intricate little dumpling parcels with lightning speed, steaming little bamboo rounds of piggy faced desserts - was such a treat and completely captivating. I ordered a bowl of handmade noodles with pork and prawn wontons in a chicken broth. The noodles tasted handmade indeed, such a nice change from so many other chinese noodle eateries serving up the usual dried noodles. The wonton skins were a little too thick but the pork and prawn filling tasty and nicely seasoned. The broth wasn't too overpowering or salty but the small lump of spinach as the only other addition to the dish was seriously disappointing. A very refreshing glass of Clairault semillion sauvignon blanc matched the meal well, however I did throw the balance of flavours off by adding way too much of their very potent chilli oil into the mix. Full as a bull by the end of the noodles, I could not resist ordering a serve of those gorgeous little piggy faced black sesame buns, and I suggest you do the same, for those little buns are delightful not only in appearance but also in every mouthful. read more

Amazing! I loved the fact that you could watch the chef preparing homemade noodles by hand in the kitchen. The flavors were spot on. I had the Singapore Rice Noodle dish with chicken and shrimp. Loved every bite. I definitely will return the next time I visit Sydney. read more

Sitting close to the George/Bathurst Street intersection in the CBD, Chef's Gallery is a great spot for dinner before a gig at the Metro or Town Hall. It may take you a while to get a seat, but once you've ordered the meals are thrown on the table super fast so ravenous bellies won't self-combust from all the amazing aromas whizzing around. It's a clean, modern space that's generally packed most nights. You can even watch the chefs at work behind a glass wall, which is great until you land a seat at the counter that runs alongside the kitchen... And you awkwardly have to eat with a chef standing directly opposite you. (Extra awkward when you're an unladylike dumpling eater like me and end up with half of it sliding down your chin/falling in your lamp/dropping down your top/all of the above.) The idea here is tapas-style Chinese. It's all about taking traditional dishes and giving them a modern twist - like the fluffy Chinese roti with pork floss. While it may sound completely bizarre (we really only ordered it out of curiosity), it's divine. Make sure you add the amazing dumplings and signature handmade noodles to your order and, if you're after dessert, go for the steamed sesame 'piggy face' buns. While they weren't really to my taste, my friends loved them and hey, they looked cute as hell. read more

Loved this place. It was busy, but the staff were efficient and didn't rush us at all. There was a 30min wait so we got a ticket and came back and sure enough our table was waiting for us like clockwork. The food was amazing, my only wish would be to have a larger stomach so I could eat more. The duck roti is awesome, as are the green beans with minced pork on top. read more

There are currently 22 reviews of this business on YELP, and countless others *cough cough* elsewhere+ and to be honest, there isn't much I can add to them, except for the following: Attenttive service: To me, Asian inspired restaurants usually have a cut-about-the-rest- service. And usually that cut-above-the-rest service is absolutely in your face. Too much, or too surly, or too little, but conspicuously so. I wonder if this is making sense. What I'm trying to say, is that its either terrible service, good service, or too much service. But Chefs Gallery's service is exceptional service. I'm not sure that it's a good business model, but Chefs Gallery uses a lot of staff. Usually this is a problem - and many is the time that I have been in a venue or restaurant where to many staff have dominated the floor and have caused an enormous problem in coordination. Not so Chefs Gallery- from start to finish Chef's Gallery provides better service than all the rest combined - beautiful, timely, co-ordinated, regal, expert and abundant. Beautfiul, Beautiful food: Wow. Wow! This food is awesome. Actually make that AWESOME! Other reviewers have spoken about the quality of food and ingredients here and I'm going to add very little to the equation except to voice my praise with all the others in saying that the food here is exceptional. I happened to be here as part of an event and I have to say that the service provided as part of the event by Yardley, and Adrian was generous, hospitable and aw inspiring At the end of the day, the truth is that I have wanted to visit Chefs Gallery for a long time. It is in a prime location in Sydney, and I have seen it everytime packed with punters relishing in good food, good company and good service. read more
