They do great versions of the traditional Thai dishes but also plenty of options with a modern twist. Love the crispy pork belly, tamarind prawns and BBQ beef cooked to perfection. Warning - dishes are very generous! But they happily give you a doggie bag. Also, it is always packed so best to book. Overall, can't say a bad word about it. Oh, and don't be confused by the roti, order it. It's yummy.

Quick service and food is super awesome…read more It wasnt plan to have a quick lunch here, because we are not hungry, since the restaurant was full, and waitress was showing a promotional flyer, lunch special for 9.90 with soft drink, we were thinking that the portion will be adjusted according to the price. We were very happy with the size meal that we received, just enough for us, perfect size! Chicken pad see ew was so delicious, not to sweet and chicken was so tender. Tom yum fried rice was presented nicely, with the muscles as the garnished. Prawns, squid and chunks of of cut salmon was added in this fried rice, I can't complain. Some more the bangkok style lemon grass pork chop Is so addictive, pork is tender and flavour just burst in your mouth, on top of that sunny side up egg and side jasmine rice just make this dish is the one that I'll come back for.

Quite empty, slow service, but friendly, and great food so.. can't complain too much. I actually didn't get to try their curries though. I really liked their raw options.. Salads are usually a staple in thai food: but it wasn't bad, but I felt like, it wasn't worth it here except for maybe the shrimp one in the martini glass.

I became familiar with this Chinese restaurant before I went there. Such is the power of word of…read moremouth. It wasn't a terribly exciting or even positive introduction. And it had absolutely no relationship to the food. It was the stools. The red stools that people sit on. And I got word that they were supremely uncomfortable. I didn't follow up on the critique (made by a friend) and in fact forgot about the restaurant altogether. It wasn't until my partner and I happened to be walking around Darlinghurst around dinner time at a later date that I remembered about the comment (which would surely put a black mark on any restaurant's name). And yet, it was delightful. We were the first ones there - so early in fact that we lingered outside like miscreants while the staff were eating their dinner - and avoided the stools altogether, and instead sat at the two person table further toward the kitchen. We ordered the Beijing Dumplings (lamb and vegetarian), the steamed vegetarian buns, hainan chicken rice and the nyonya chicken and potato curry with two pots of brown rice. Mostly everything was outstanding. The only thing that didn't surpass our expectations wildly was the Hainan chicken rice. The rest was so incredibly good that we've gone back twice since (take-away). The staff were also incredibly accommodating and take note that they have a vegetarian menu as well as a Coeliac one. As for those infamous stools, on our last visit there to pick up our take-away we saw Hugo Weaving sitting on one of them at the far end of the communal table eating his dinner. If it's good enough for Hugo Weaving ..

I am…read moreso glad a friend of mine shared one of hers with me all that time ago because now when I come here I encourage other friends to try them too. Everybody is just as impressed as I am. The fresh prawn rice paper rolls with chilli dipping sauce and Beijing vegetarian dumplings are also staples. The Beef Tenderloin Fillet Fry ($20) is tasty but the Mixed Asian Greens ($10) is uninspiring. The menu is a little pricier than you would find elsewhere and you may find yourself leaving still relatively hungry. But if you order more (like I usually do) or come on a night when you are not incredibly hungry to begin with, then the quality of food should impress you. The restaurant is BYO and also has a coeliac friendly gluten-free menu and options for kids. The only issue I have with this place is the menu layout. I think it would be more successful if the dishes had a bit more description in terms of the sauces rather than just the main ingredient.

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.

The fact that it was essentially a hole in the wall frequented by many Asians and the bathrooms were as low quality as a stereotypical Chinatown place is were indicators that this restaurant would be great. The menu selection is vast and it was hard to pick just one dish that I really wanted. But of course, I stuck to my pho. The pho had a flavorful broth and was generous in garnishes. The meat was cooked to perfection. Hoisin sauce and sriracha were right within reach. Pho joint essentials, tell ya. I definitely want to be back to try some of the other items the next time I'm in the Sydney area!

This includes the…read morespring rolls, crispy chicken with fried rice, salt and pepper pork ribs, crab noodle and of course the Pho (beef noodle soup). The spring rolls are nice and crispy. I enjoy wrapping them in lettuce with the mint and carrots then dipping them in the Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese fish sauce). The fried rice is oily goodness with a nice crispy skin chicken that has moist and succulent flesh. The pork is tasty but you're likely to get a bit thirsty after a plate of it, so order the version with rice and veggies to offset this ;) The bowls of pho and crab noodle soup are so good not just in the middle of winter to warm your belly but well worth having in summer when they crank on the aircon inside. Will continue to be a regular here for sometime ...

We ordered a few things to share for the table. The peking duck was really juicy, but the "tortilla"-shaped wrap was a bit strange as I'm used to the fluffy white baos. Green string beans were cooked very nicely -- quite a staple of Chinese food. The fried chicken came in a bowl of half chicken and half chili -- it looks really scary for someone not a big fan of spicy, but the chili added a good kick to the chicken and made it hard to stop eating it. The highlight of the meal was definitely the fish doused in a spicy oily sauce, and again full of chilis. The sauce itself was really spicy with all the sichuan pepper but the fish itself was so tender and juicy.

This place is perfect for a group dinner (we were 12): it is fun to try lots of different dishes, and they have some private rooms or large tables. Yes, do not expect a Michelin star service level...it can be quite slow and you might have to ask several times for the same thing, but staff remains friendly and when you are a large group you tend to be more forgiving! We ordered numerous dishes from dumplings to sweet potato pancake and more original options - the chefs special fish fillet was a standout as well as the lamb ribs. Veggies are yummy (but a bit oily), notably the fried eggplant and green beans with pork. We had a fun night and are just the right amount for 36$ pp (incl drinks), worth visiting !

Create your own noodle dish by picking a type of noodle or rice, flavour and then add your protein. Fun styling welcomes you as you walk through the glass doors. Order at the bar and choose to dine-in or take away. On this occasion we chose to dine-in and sit on wooden stools and watch the world go by. The restaurant is vibrant filled with bright colours and images on the walls. The mains arrive piping hot, without delay. Although, we had almost finished our mains when our sides of curry puffs came out but the timing didn't worry us in this casual setting. We had the Laksa Soup and Penang Satay Noodles with a side of curry puffs. All were delicious and would be happily ordered again. Check out Wok on Inn's newest restaurant in Zetland. It makes for a yummy, easy meal which is reasonably priced.
