Momo Bar is our go-to spot whenever we're in the Manly Beach area visiting family from the U.S…read more The menu has a great mix of fresh rice bowls, salad bowls, poke bowls, and dumplings... everything tastes clean, vibrant, and genuinely fresh. It's one of those places where it's hard to choose because so many options sound good, and the quality is consistently solid across the board. Service has always been excellent in our experience... friendly, efficient, and welcoming without feeling rushed. The outdoor seating is another highlight, especially on a nice day; there's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the beach-town atmosphere. On a separate note (and honestly pretty important for travelers), it was surprisingly frustrating trying to find reliable restaurant reviews in Sydney the way we're used to in Los Angeles. Yelp really needs a stronger presence there... it would make discovering great spots like this so much easier. Overall, Momo Bar is an easy five stars for us. Fresh food, great variety, good service, and a relaxed setting... we keep coming back every time we're in Manly.

Ordered the Aloha Combo (aloha bowl with dumplings and water)…read moreAloha Bowl: very little salmon. Could not have been more than 2.5 ounces. I would call it a garnish. Did not provide a powerful flavor profile. Very basic. Lamb dumplings: lamb in a dumpling, that's about all I have. Add some soy sauce.

The small lemongrass is conveniently located at the ultimo end of the Devonshire Tunnel (that's the…read morepedestrian tunnel from Central Station to Railway Square / UTS / Ultimo). The best thing about this place is the reasonably priced express dishes ($9 or 10). The portion sizes are pretty huge for eat-in, I often get a take-away container to save some for later. Their service is friendly, attentive and fast. Great place for a quick and delicious meal. I recommend trying the pineapple fried rice with crispy pork. Their massaman beef curry is also pretty good, especially during the cooler months of the year.

Not being on church street I have overlooked this place on every visit to Parra. Not on this…read morevisit. Usually you only remember when things are good or when things are bad about this place. I went to this restaurant over a month ago and only remember one thing about it - the fried ice-cream had been fried for too long that the insides had half melted. Utter sadness to end the meal. I'm sure it must've been a one-off but just be careful all you fried ice-cream lovers out there! So I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and award them a 3/5. I'm so nice!

For starters we got the Satay chicken and money bags. The money bags had a lot of coconut in it but still tasty. For mains we got the Chicken pad se ew, Beef masaman curry, Beef oyster sauce and the Chicken satay stir fry all to share among 4 people. Overall, all dishes were quite tasty. Especially the Masaman beef so tender! Service was good and i had the ping pong cocktail with lychees and that was sweet and not too strong alcohol wise and so it complemented the meals.

I recommend the Chicken Pumpkin Curry with steamed Jasmine rice. Delicious. Also a good serve of Thai Satay, Fish Cakes and Curry Puffs are also on my favourites list. Happy eating always at this long standing place.

While in the area, I managed to eat from each of the three thai restaurants on this block. This one…read morewas by far the best. Their Pad Se Eiu is phenomenal. Their noodle dishes just had great flavor. A couple of the other restaurants in this neighborhood were lacking some of that flavor. Prices were comparable with the neighborhood (high), but there's a reason this restaurant is packed when the others on the block are rather empty at dinner time.

Loved loved loved this place!…read more Canley Vale is such a great place to enjoy fantastic food in funky restaurants out in the burbs. Sitney is one of the newest and I think one of its best. Food, service and ambience were all excellent! My top picks were the soft shell crab papaya salad, roasted duck curry and the chicken skewers. I know chicken skewers are nothing to normally rave about but these were the best I have ever had. Come and try this place I promise you won't regret it! Did I mention...... I loved loved loved this place.. Happy dance :)

Now onto the food. Oh yes oh yes oh yes. Silence was all you heard because everyone was busy eating. The occasional moan and "this is good" is how I'd describe the atmosphere. They could do no wrong. Deep fried papaya salad - I've had a lot of thai food before (in Thailand too) and I have never come across such dish. It was a true stroke of genius because this was just unbelievable. So incredible how the flavours worked and how crispy the papaya was. 10 stars out of 5!! The ox tongue was so tender and perfectly cooked - this is an absolute must. The crispy barramundi with mango salad was excellent too - fish was perfectly cooked, presentation was on par and the salad was well dressed. Let me hear you say pad thai! Cause this place serves some of the best you'll eat. The noodles were extremely well fried and the taste was of course amazing. The duck curry!!! There was pineapple and lychees in it with a strong coconut flavour. A perfect thai curry and the duck was well cooked too. There's a perfect balance of spices in the lao sausages as well! Only dishes that was not of the high standard as the others was the pineapple fried rice - it was a tiny bit soggy and not as good as some I've had. The fried ice cream also wasn't good - it did not have that crispy outside and was way too oily. Either way, I'm definitely coming back again! Love, love and love!

The food was some of the best thai/laotian food I've ever had. The green papaya salad (larb) was…read morevery refreshing and doused in fish sauce. The grilled chicken dish and duck inside the curry were both very tender. All the flavors were very strong and the spice levels were perfect.

This place is definitely a bang for your buck! Quality Thai food for a very reasonable price and…read morebig portions. Three dishes for two people and we were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers. My only regret was we didn't have room for the fried ice cream, which is also a huge portion. Make sure to either make a reservation or arrive early because it will be packed. The staff is super no frills and efficient. But I don't expect overly friendly service at an Asian establishment. The atmosphere is lively and a bit rowdy, possibly because right outside is the hotel bar area. It's also good for big groups. Would definitely come back if I'm in Sydney again.

I'm not sure how pricing is because she paid and the menu we looked at was just filled with pictures. We ended up ordering the sausage, Chicken skewers, fried egg salad, chicken salad, papaya salad, Tom yum soup, ox tounge, pandan sticky rice with ice cream and banana fritter with ice cream. The highlight for me was the ox tounge and the fried egg salad. The egg was cooked to perfection and it was really good. The ox tounge was unique and has a chewy texture and flavor was good. Everything else was ok and pretty standard. It does take a while for food to come out and our server was so unenthusiastic looking. Overall, an ok Thai/Laos restaurant

Every Tuesday at work we get take away delivered from here for lunch!…read more For an order over $30 they will deliver it free within a few Km's Now the food. Yum yum yum! And the value is absolutely awesome! Lunch special includes pad Thai, pad see ew, green red massaman or yellow curries with rice for only $8.80 or even stir fries for 8.90 and you can't complain at that! The pad Thai is authentic and delicious you want more! The red curry is a winter warmer for those cold days. And the chilli chicken basil stir fry is NOT for the feint hearted, if you want hot chilli you get hot chilli with this, it had me running for the milk in the fridge lol! But this place is awesome definitely recommend,!!!!!

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.

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!
