The menu is largely Vietnamese with a bit of Thai and Malaysian thrown in. They have starters, soups, salads and a variety of main courses. I had the pho and it was excellent.

Now we usually frequent Kuk thai or Chargrill Charlie's (you know the one Opera went to) for our quick meal, but after not finding our favorite pasta to pair with the chicken at Charlie's we went to Pasta Pantry. They have a good variety of pastas, ready made Italian sides, salads and dips. We order a couple of different cold pastas (Chicken Tortellini, Spinach Ravioli, Sausage Penne and Basil and Pesto Cappellini) packaged in two medium takeaway containers and we are good to go. The pasta is tasty and made fresh. There is also the smell of baked goods when you're in the shop and they are also one of the few places in the area that carry Pepsi Max (our soft drink of choice). It's a good place to grab a quick meal when we're in the mood for some pasta.

Even though their prices are very pricey, most probably the most expensive roast chicken in Sydney at $20, their Portuguese chicken is a great alternative, and tastes fantastic. Expect to see a lot of children as this chicken shop has turned into an after-school hang out area. Although most customers order take away, and there are few and far between that sit down to eat, mostly as it's on a busy road, and the vibe isn't that amazing.

Chargrill Charlie's is a family owned business that has been operating for over 30 years. Beginning…read morein Coogee, they've branched out and although no longer in Coogee, they've got 11 venues across Sydney and open 7 days a week. We visited our closest store, the Woollahra venue. It is both a dine in and takeaway venue and they are always super busy. This is testament to just how good the food is. At first it might look like your typical charcoal chicken shop, but it is much more than that with amazing salads, veggies, burgers and desserts and it will have you salivating for more. From the charcoal grill, their chickens do not have hormone injections and they are beautifully chargrilled, and seasoned with herbs and spices or marinated with Portuguese flavours. Of course it wouldn't be the perfect meal without fries. You can get their nicely seasoned French fries chips or their famous hand cut potato wedges or sweet potato wedges. We tried them all and can't choose our favourite They use the freshest of ingredients and seasonal produce to make their famous salads, made in house everyday. They will suit a range of crowds and we tried the poke salad, Buddha salad and roasted cauliflower. The Golden quinoa salad was also an absolute winner. There's a hot menu with a lot of choice - from baked salmon, chicken drumsticks, meatballs and curry to casseroles and Lentils. We had the amazing lamb shanks and mixed roasted vegetables and they were a great accompaniment. As we were here for a huge spread, we both got a burger, the chicken and also a cheeseburger. Free range chicken and grass fed beef, fresh butter lettuce, sliced tomato, onion, secret sauce on a milk bun - these were delicious - and huge! We tried the piri piri sauce and lemon and herb dressing which we also enjoyed. They have sweets and desserts too, and although we didn't try, because we were full; the home made apple pie looks like a winner. Chargrill Charlie's does catering as well if you're keen to order a bunch of food for your office meeting, picnics or even private functions. When you arrive it may appear slightly overwhelming with so many people trying to get the Chargrill Charlie's fix. But don't fret, the service is easy. Take a number and wait your turn, service is extremely fast. They also have an app where you can earn store credit and even purchase Chargrill Charlie's hoodies, hats and bags to feel like a part of the team.

This casual take-away chicken and…read morerice and salad joint is - and the whole thing is kind of hilarious - "Celebrity Central" as evidenced by the photos along the wall with pictures of movie stars and talk show shosts dropping in (Oprah! Hugh Jackman! Russell Crowe!) which, who knows, maybe gives it a bit of food industry-cred. But nevermind the celebrities (really, don't mind them) because the food is what everyone is there for (ostensibly, because, again, who knows?). It's cheap, quick grab-and-go food. You can get a quarter or half chicken and be on your way or put a bun between the chicken with lettuce and tomatoes to make a chicken burger or you can put it in a long roll or you can get the Indonesian rice with chicken schnitzel or get a half chicken or a whole chicken with wanton salad or avocado salad or pesto pasta or roasted potatoes. Whatever you want. Take note, though, there are only a total of about 4 seats here so make other arrangements for seating if you can. And take a number if it's busy. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If you go inside, you'll find more of the same; discounted food. I'm not sure it was ever full price.
