Even though we were full, we decided to give dessert a go. We ordered the sticky rice pudding & the kuih ketayap (pandan crepe, coconut & ice cream), both were superb. The staff were exceptional, very friendly & cheerful. You can really tell that they want you to enjoy the food & have a great time there. Makes it easier that it's BYO, so bring along your favourite & relax. We'll definitely be coming back here & supporting a great local business!

Staff at the bar greeted us promptly, sat us down and gave us menus. We ordered the Ckt, nasi lemak with chicken and the ABC for dessert. The food came quickly and was hot (I prefer my meals served hot!) both main meals were actually quite tasty! The nasi lemak came with these crunchy anchovies, delicious and quite special! Rarely see them completely gut the fish and fry them so crisply! Saved the best for last and despite the cold day we had to try the pretty purple abc dessert. I'm not a big fan of yam, but I loved this! Generous scoop of yam ice cream and creamy sago. Yum. Will be back :)

From the staff to the food, the drinks to the ambiance - absolutely top notch! Hubby and I ordered the happy hour cocktail Kuala Lumpur sour. The presentation was beautiful and they tasted amazing, we both really enjoyed this cocktail. We shared chicken satay, beef satay, sambal steak, and typhoon xo popcorn chicken. All the dishes were wonderful! So much flavor - spicy, salty, meaty, tangy, all delicious! Ingredients tasted so fresh and they did a great job of layering flavors. I can't stress enough how amazing Ho Jiak was! I would definitely go back if I visit Sydney again. Highly recommend!

I went around 4ish (maybe earlier) and there was no line so I was worried they were closed but they were not! I had the Chicken Latska (with chili) as it was recommended by many. The chicken is tender and the broth is spot on. I could not finish it but it was phenomenal and I would definitely go back! The customer service was great. I had trouble counting my coins but she didn't mind helping me! If you don't like spicy maybe go no chili but it wasn't too hot to me. It is a small, quaint restaurant, and was clean as well.

This was a Malaysian hawker, a very casual place to grab something to eat. I was in town for the…read moreSydney Marathon and was staying nearby. The pictures and reviews looked good, so I decided to check it out. You can go straight to the counter and place your order. You have the option of eating in or taking it to-go. I ordered the Nasi Lemak. As advertised on their menu, it's their signature dish. This is Malaysia's national dish, it's a fragrant coconut rice dish served with peanuts, crispy anchovies and pickled vegetables. I got it with beef rendang. Instead of beef, you have the option to get it with chicken curry. I never had Malaysian food before, but this breakfast dish was very similar to what Taiwanese eat. I thought it was not bad. I'm pretty sure it's good for Sydney and you would most definitely get something better at Malaysia. If you're eating in, once you're done, you can bring your plates and utensils to the counter.

Everything tasted super authentic and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portion sizes and protein content was definitely above average which is impressive as the prices were extremely reasonable. The staff was happy and attentive and the space was large and clean. Solid 4 stars ! Give it go

Don't be shy as you may end up sharing a table with others. When we arrived we were at the start of a rush as the line developed behind us with an already full restaurant. Luckily we managed a spot sharing with a family of 5. We ordered their Char Kuay Teow and Ais Batu Kacang. And the family ordered Hainan Chicken Rice and Fish Head Curry. Smells really good. There was an interesting mix of customers from Thai, to Malaysian, to Indonesian. Mixed in with the a couple of locals. It took a while for our food to be served. So it left me thinking that he forgot our order... Finally it came! The Char Kuay Teow was pretty good - KL style. Slightly spicy but oddly with chicken, no Chinese sausage or clams. Regardless, it was tasty. It took a while for the drinks to come out as well. As the kitchen is pretty small. So be patient!
