Beware of additional charges - we were charged $5 per person for sparkling mineral water (which wasn't made clear that there was a charge - the water is on the lazy Susan with no lid on); and a further $3.50 per person charge on tea which none of us had. All up it was an extra $85 on the bill and had to get it reversed.

Must be my lucky day because I'm the first to review this restaurant!…read more Overall: Had a good experience. Lovely ambiance, comfortable yet upscale modern feeling. Kind of reminds me of a higher end western restaurant in Hong Kong. What I tried: XO Pipi (Paphies australis): These are shellfish with an elongated shell that kind of look (and taste) like clams. I would say that they're not as "chewy" and are meatier. I got this with the egg noodles, but will probably try the crispy vermicelli next time so that it can soak up the XO sauce flavor. Fried Rice: Pretty standard fried rice, not oily or greasy and would recommend.

You have to take a lift up one level to reveal the oasis that is Ramen Kan. It's kinda like when Charlie visits Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Outside looks all blah, but once he set foot inside... Ta-da PARADISE. Ok, enough about the appearance. So I had a massive craving for some crack... I mean, Ramen. But I didn't want to patronize the usual suspects in Market City or Sussex Centre. I remember a cohort telling me about a ramen place between the Entertainment Centre and Market City. I've probably walked pass this place thousands of times, but never new a ramen place existed there. Upon entering Ramen Kan, I noticed there were stools by the window. My voyeuristic-self immediately gravitated towards those seats. What a surprise! I get a perfect view of Market City and all the minions walking around below. The menu is vast and extensive. I was fiending ramen and Japanese tapas so much, I probably could've order one of everything off the menu. But I opted just for the Tonkotsu Ramen instead. The broth, noodles, ginger, greens, egg and pork were made to perfection. I consumed it in a matter of minutes. Mainly because it was so good, but also you're not given that much noodles (one star removed.. sorry!) I'm definitely coming back to try other things on the menu...

When you enter the random doorway and enter the dodgy lift with missing buttons, you may think to yourself if you're to the right place or whether this lift will cause you to plunge 10 meters when you reach the top, causing you to twist your ankle or something. Soon you'll be pleasantly surprised when you enter a warm environment with pleasant staff. Confession: Though the ramen here is the bomb (SO MANY VARIETIES!) whenever I come here I normally don't get ramen. Their selection of items is so vast and all of it is tasty it's just so difficult to want to choose ramen when you're here. But seriously, you can't go wrong with any of the ramen. Easily top 4 in the city. The karaage chicken here is soooo tender, the curry is rich and flavourful with a spicy kick, the fish is fresh, the noodles are the perfect blend of slurpable and the broth is just right. You won't break the bank here either...unless you're like me and eat until you regret it. There can be a queue for dinner on most nights after 6pm and this place is on the more casual side as well. Great lunch and casual-semi casual dinner spot though. Come here. Please?

Felt like some soup noodles and was walking by Two Sticks underneath the new shiny Quay apartments…read moreso walked right in as there was no queue. The George Street branch always seems to have a queue so this was perfect. I ordered the house specialty #1 which is the noodles in the clay pot. The broth is nice and not too heavy and there was a decent serving of vermicelli and tofu. There were a few cuts of beef that are put into your pot when it arrives at your table. I also ordered a side serving of pigs ears in chilli and sesame - which was tongue numbing due to the use of sichuan peppers. Overall - it was an average meal, almost like a comforting home cooked soup noodle type of night.

The A/C actually helps when you're enjoying a delicious bowl of noodle soup in summer. I always go for menu item number #1 here, and sometimes going for the spicy pork ear as a side. Prices are relatively inexpensive, but be careful that this place is cash only.

I had the curried beef brisket noodle soup and my husband had beef with black beans over rice. The portions are very substantial and prices are very reasonable. The servings are substantial and the food was very good. The food comes out when it is ready so the whole table may not be served at the same time. When you are finished you walk up to the till to pay your bill. Washroom is available but you need to ask for a key. It was very good food at a reasonable price. Great for a casual meal.

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...

Thankfully,…read morethe restaurant was pretty empty (7.30pm on a Friday...hmmm), they seated 7 of us at a big table in a corner. FOOD -- One can choose either the buffet ($25pp) or the ala carte menu. Note that the buffet does not include the soup base (ranging from $12-$16) or sauces (about $1.20 per type of sauce). We (bunch of finance geeks) spent over 15 mins debating if it was cheaper to do the buffet. In the end we chose not to. It turned out to be a good decision, cause the meal cost each of us around $21pp (excluding softdrinks). We ordered about 20-22 plates of veggies/meat. The food was pretty good, everything was quite fresh. My favourites are probably the spam & beef rolls. Who knew spam tasted so good when boiled in spicy broth ? :) SERVICE -- A.R.G.H. This is the only reason why Im giving this restaurant a 3 star instead of a 4. Ordering through the iPad is a stupid idea because you can only see 2-3 items per "page", so it was time consuming to "go-through" the menu. (especially when i am HUNGRY, A.R.G.H) Getting the attention of a waitress/waiter was the worst. Maybe because we were sitting in a corner but it was almost impossible to catch their attention. We gave up and took turns to walk over to the cashier counter each time we needed something from them. A.R.G.H They should consider doing what some korean restaurants do - putting an alert/bell system on each table. Lastly, I heard from my guy friends that the male bathroom was NASTY ! (boo!!)

The unique thing about this place is that they gave protective sleeves for your jackets because hotpot smells tend to stay with clothing for some time. Average spend is around $30 for the all you can eat menu (and also unlimited softdrink, but don't fill up on soft drink) which is very fair when there are other places which charge about $35 (without the drink thing).

The best part of our meal was the bottled beer. The Mongolian beef was not cooked well, it was just soft and soggy in its sauce, which was overly sweet. It came out on a fajita platter sizzling, so truly impressive that it turned out as mushy as it did. There was a lot of potential for that dish to taste better. The stir fried noodles tasted like they had been cooked well at one point, but then frozen, reheated, and rinsed with water to remove any potential flavor that once existed. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty when we arrived, we were seated right in between two other occupied tables, which made it feel like we were all at one big dinner together instead of on our own separate date nights. The people working were very nice - just wish the food was better! This meal was one of our first meals in Sydney and made us really worried that all of our meals here would be overpriced and tasteless - thankfully, there are better options out there.
