Located on Surf Road, the restaurant is airy with lots of glass to let in the light, it is very contemporary and pleasant. Most seats indoors, there are some informal high top seats outside too. Service was very friendly and the single server was handling the breakfast crowd with ease as not too busy. The waffles we light and fluffy. There was a nice crunch to them and had one with ice cream and the other one with strawberries. The Banana Roti was served with peanut butter and condensed milk. It was an interesting concept and fairly well executed. The peanut butter and banana combination was delicious. The Shakshuka Baked Eggs had a slight spiciness to it but was lovely and the runny eggs in the sauce was great. The bread soaked up all the sauces. The Huevos Rancheros Baked Eggs were not so successful. It was a bit too oily with the mince and the pork belly in it. It was a bit unbalanced as also had avocado in it so fatty in taste. The tostadas needed to be drained more too. Overall most dishes were great for the one exception.

As for the food, we had the Crispy Chicken, Hot & Sour Pork Mince Salad and various sashimi pieces - those dishes really stood out as bursting with flavor. We also had the Beef Rendang curry, which was really rich and deeply flavorful as well. We were also given some sides, like the Broccolini and Roti which paired well with the various dishes.

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.

There's something about Din Tai Fung. When the air becomes crisp & the first thing I reach for upon…read moreleaving the house is my scarf, my craving for these plump, soup filled dumplings becomes undeniable. That's how I found myself sitting down earlier today at this famous 41-year-old Taiwanese dumpling chain. Those who've met me, understand that this isn't my first rodeo. I've been a Din Tai Groupie now for well over 8 years. If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I've now dined at Din Tai Fung in over 5 countries in as many years. In fact, it's no word of a lie that I once boarded a flight with a group of friends to Taiwan, purely to dine at the original location. We waited, hungry & eager on the streets of downtown Taipei for well over an hour. Full of gross anticipation, we wondered if anyone else would deem our dumpling pilgrimage 'nuts'. Perhaps we were nuts, unknowingly having flown in during the middle of a serious tropical cyclone. Memories! Taking the above into consideration, you can imagine my squeals of delight upon finding out that 'The Fung' was finally making its way to the Sutherland Shire. I'm fairly confident it involved some swearing & perhaps even a few tears. Today we arrive right on midday, the restaurant is heaving & we are led to a table upstairs. Sitting down, we peel off our coats & push our menus aside. Did I mention this isn't our first rodeo? Predictably, we order 8 pieces of the Pork Xiao Long Bao, a bowl of the Shrimp & Pork Wonton's with Tangy Sauce, 6 pieces of Shrimp & Pork Jiao Ze & the Pork Chop served with Fried Rice. Just as the waitress is rushing away with our order, I notice a flyer detailing a new addition to the menu - Pork & Prawn Potstickers. Having not seen these since our trip to Taipei in 2013, we eagerly order a serve knowing full well that we've again, over ordered. The food arrives quickly, each steamer basket hitting the table within minutes of each other. First to arrive, are the Pork Xiao Long Bao. These dumplings are everything. Hand crafted with supreme care, these ginger-infused pork dumplings are reminiscent of finely folded origami. Each possessing 18 folds in order to perfectly encase its delicate broth, they are joyous & a product of scientific precision. Next up are the beautifully spicy Shrimp & Pork Wonton's. Possibly my favorite offering on the menu, these delicately prepared, chili oil wonton's pack the perfect combination of both sweet & savory. With a sauce consisting of crushed Sichuanese peppercorns, I could confidently order these spicy little parcels as my last meal on Death Row... Take note family. The Shrimp & Pork Jiao Ze are next & as with the Xiao Long Bao, they are delightful. The shrimp giving each of these dumplings a crisp bite that balances beautifully with the slow simmered pork broth. Last, but not least, we dive fully into the Pork & Prawn Potstickers & the Pork Chop with Fried Rice. The pork is as tender as we've come to expect throughout the years & the Potstickers, with strong notes of leek & celery, a welcome addition to our usual 'Fung' repertoire. Spectacular. As with all of the food at Din Tai Fung, the offering here is consistent & it goes without saying that their dumplings are second to none. The sheer quality, a testament to their much coveted Michelin Star. Bravo. We roll out the door a short time later to rejoin the cold masses, satisfied, yet bordering on uncomfortable. With bellies full & a spring in our step, we will be back... probably next week!

The location was so off the typical path that if I didn't know about this restaurant, I would never have walked by and decided to stop by. The decor was classically Chinese and modern at the same time. On the traditional side, they had roasted ducks hanging off a rack, yet the interior was so beautifully and tastefully decorated that it didn't feel tacky or old-fashioned in an offensive way. The food was spot on. We ordered the following: 1. Kang-pao chicken 2. Bamboo, woodear and celery stir fry - this dish was punched with flavor, had great umami, my only complaint was that the bamboo shoots were a bit tough 3. Hot pot stuffed tofu with pork and shrimp in abalone sauce - this was a WINNER! This dish felt like home. It was so comforting and the flavors and textures were in perfect harmony. This dish was served hot which I loved since Sydney is still in winter. It was a perfect dish and the concept worked well. Service was excellent. 5/5 Ambiance was excellent 5/5 Food was good. 4.5/5 We had a great time! I recommend making a reservation.

The restaurant is tucked away on a sort of back street. Kinda reminded me of the cool restaurants and speakeasies hidden in NYC's Chinatown. There are at least two floors from what I can see and the vibe is immaculate. Great date or group spot. My group had a reservation but we did have to wait a few minutes to be seated. Once we were, our server was awesome (I wish I remembered her name). But let's talk food. The oysters and Ora King Salmon were fantastic. We also ordered prawns, a certain beef order (I forget the exact names) as well as the special fried rice. Everything hit -- including the drinks. Looking forward to my next trip to Sydney (and hitting this spot up).

I usually prefer my beef medium rare, but it got mixed with the pork, so everything got cooked well done. If my beef was cooked medium rare, this would probably be a 5 star review. Sirloin Beef $39 AUD - Beautifully marbled. Marinated Beef Ribs $36AUD - This was good and had generous meat. We ordered too much meat, but amazingly we finished it all, so it had to have been really good. Cheese Corn Side Dish - Okay, too cheesy for me. I bet very few people say that, lol. Tofu Side Dish - I am not a tofu or soup person, so I did not try. They have both Korean and Australian beers, thank you. I chose to drink the local beers, as the Korean brand beers were the same as the U.S. Support locals. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Indoor/outdoor seating were very limited. Semi-open kitchen, see picture. You will be crammed in to maximize space. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 10:30pm. Not sure if they have bathrooms; sorry I can not remember and I did not take a picture. Service - Full service. They actually cook the food for you at your table. Both the owner and waiter cooked for us. I really appreciated that. But I am also sure they do that to turn the tables faster, good business practice. Win/win. Price - See menu, Korean foods are always a little on the expensive side, but when you take into consideration the current US exchange rate, it was a sale for us. :) Owner Comment - Congrats on your success.

You can opt for choosing the chef's set which is a predetermined menu, or order a la carte to create your own spread. We selected six items that appealed most to us which was the perfect amount for everyone in our group of four to get a taste of it all. + CORN RIBS (A$20): This fully vegetarian item was surprisingly my favorite of the evening. Ears of corn were cut vertically through the cob, creating spears that you could eat like ribs to bite off the kernels. The "ribs" were coated in caramelized miso butter and rolled in furikake. The corn was naturally sweet while the butter added a savory umami punch. This is my new favorite way to eat corn! + CHICKEN KARAAGE (A$20): Lightly battered pieces of chicken were meaty, tender and piping hot. The exterior was delightfully crispy and a sweet gochujang dipping sauce gave it a bit of heat and extra flavor. + WAGYU MB9 SKEWERS (A$28): Each skewer had four cubes of beef grilled and glazed in a sweet teriyaki sauce. The meat had a good char to it, but a few pieces were a bit chewy and fibrous, making them a little tough to bite. While I enjoyed the flavor, I was expecting the beef to be more tender, so I was a little disappointed with the quality. + EGGPLANT DENGAKU (A$26): Half an eggplant came with a sweet soy-based sauce and topped with sour cream, wild rice furikake and almonds. I personally didn't like the sour cream on top since it was quite heavy and overwhelming after we spread it across the eggplant. The texture was creamy and mushy, except for the sprinkles of crunch from the toppings. I normally love eggplant, but didn't care for this dish as a whole. + SCALLOPS (A$22): A grilled scallop was placed on a small disk of potato mochi, and two pieces came in one order. The scallop itself was smooth and tender but it did have a bit of fishiness to it. Other than that, this didn't have much flavor, so I personally would skip it. + GRILLED MOCHI (A$12): A creative plate of grilled mochi squares topped with crumbles of chicken skin furikake and a dusting of curry spice. The mochi had a nice chew to it and the salty chicken skin excited my palette while the curry added some warmth. I've never had anything like this before so it was quite unique. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and it was fun to try so many diverse dishes. Just be aware that some of their small plates come with just two servings (in our case, the skewers, mochi and scallops), so you may need to multiply your order to accommodate your table. I appreciated the friendly and quick service. We were seated immediately at 6:00P on a Wednesday and with this restaurant being located in the CBD, it got busier as people ended their workday. The staff was friendly, greeted us promptly and was attentive to our empty dishes and filling our waters. While I didn't love everything we ordered, I recommend trying Kid Kyoto since the environment is perfect for a night out to unwind after work, or with friends on the weekend. If you're up for shareable plates perhaps with a drink, this is the place for you.
