Little Turtle — Restaurant in Sydney

An excruciatingly painful time every time we have come to this beautiful restaurant. This has been one of our top favourite eateries in the past year that we’ve come here. The food is absolutely divine, however on every occasion that we have visited this restaurant in the hope of having a lovely night with our family or friends, we’ve consistently had an unpleasant experience and been confronted with extremely rude and disrespectful waiters! Forget about ever being greeting with a friendly hi as you walk in, or being assisted with questions you may have over the menu, or ever seeing a smile on their faces for a moment- we’re talking of faces being made and speaking to us in a sarcastic and disgruntled tone here..

It’s always been a chore to ask for salt or cutlery, let alone placing our orders with them! The women/ chefs cooking in the kitchen seem to be accomodating and nicer, however the floor waitresses are horribly impolite and uncivilised, every time we have visited! These asian girls consistently make it a point to deliberately ignore our requests or simply swing past us when calling out to them, even in the gentlest and most polite tone.

Mind you, most of our family friends have stopped going to this restaurant and have resorted to other vegan restaurants in Sydney instead. We will also be doing the same from now on. This was an absolute adored restaurant by all of us, but indeed what a shame that this was a our very LAST VISIT only due to extremely racist, disrespectful and ill mannered staff on the floor.

Just a piece of my 2 cents of advice to the girls/ staff on the floor! If you’re going to be so obnoxious then continue your pitiful behaviour overseas wherever you’re from!! This is AUSTRALIA and we live in a multicultural society here YOU SEE, where we love and are accustomed to all races, beliefs, caste and creed!! You are absolutely demeaning, uncivilised and individuals like you are a disgrace in the society, and you shouldn’t be residing in a beautiful country like Australia!! What an absolute disgusting heard of people are these waitresses that I’ve ever come...

Finally had the opportunity to come here after trying their food at the night noodle markets a few years ago. Their menu doesn't have fake meat and heavily features mushrooms, tofu & tempeh. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms, tofu or tempeh but I was celebrating a family members birthday and was able to avoid what I didn't like. Sadly even though I marked the booking for a birthday they provided no recognition of said birthday. The cauliflower wings and the puff sticks were delicious- I recommend only getting one starter for two people as we started to fill up and ended up taking some of the puff sticks home, they're very generous with the cauliflower wings. I got the masman potato's with roti while my family member got the Holy Basil tempeh stir-fry with a side of coconut rice. The sauce for the potato's was amazing however the roti you get with it is not a large enough serving for the amount of sauce. It was a small roti cut in half. The stir-fry was nice as was the coconut rice. The dishes were definitely filling. The shop isn't accessible- the step was easy enough for my manual chair to get up however it definitely wouldn't of been accessible for an electric wheelchair however they did have an accessible toilet inside which slightly confused me. For a vegan restaurant the food wasn't too expensive. They had a QR code on the counter as you entered however I couldn't access it myself as it was too high up, I was able to sign in with the help of my family member. The staff requested to see that we signed in before we got seated however didn't give us a chance to use some of the hand sanatizer next to the QR sign in area. Overall a good experience, I would come back but it probably won't be on my regular rotation of restaurants due to the lack of...

We came here for lunch during the week. They were opened during the Christmas / New year period which was great because most places had closed. There were just two of us that came in for lunch. We were seated near the front. The interior is nice except for the soft drinks and boxes of takeaway containers in front near the toilets.

We ordered a Holy Basil stir fry with the coconut rice and the Pad See Eew as well. The Stir Fry came out first and then I wanted 10 minutes for the Pad See Eew to come. By the time we waited for the other dish to arrive the first dish had gone cold. I sat there watching the meals get placed on the counter ready to be taken to the table. I could see the Pad See Eew and got up and went to take it to my own table, so we didn’t have to wait for someone to grab it. I was told to sit down, and someone would bring it. We waited for someone to bring it to the table. There was about a half an hour wait to get food to the table, we only ordered two meals.

A table of 8 who sat next two us who ordered just before us got their entrees and mains before we got our meals. They ran out of space and started putting their dishes it on the seat next to them. Ideally, they should of sent out their entrees then served our mains next.

The food was delicious, the timing of dishes is off and if you’ve got a half hour lunch break, you’ll be late back to work. The service is friendly though. Also two out of four checks specials were unavailable. We also told the staff that they had ran out of toilet paper twice and they did nothing...
