TASTE TEXTURE — Restaurant in Sydney

Overall: 6/7 Surprised this place isn’t more popular honestly. They sell a wide array of dishes all executed to a very high standard, while not being outrageously priced. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Edit1: came back for matcha latte, brisket egg hash, k-pop chicken

Mango paradise drink: 5/7 Don’t really understand the appeal of having the whole ice cream in it but it’s fine to exist there I guess… overall very “true” mango flavour and a good balance of toppings included. We got this back jn summer while mangos were still in season fyi.

Hot choc: 5/7 Surprisingly cheap! Nothing crazy but happy to get it again.

Short rib Mac n cheese: 6/7 Their rib was amazingly well cooked and super appreciative that they actually seasoned / marinated it as it doesn’t taste bland on its own. The whole thing is gelatinous, fork tender and overall great. The Mac n cheese itself is also solid and well seasoned. The little dorito chips add a great crunch for texture variation, and their house bbq sauce is also very tasty.

Soft shell crab spaghetti: 5/7 The pasta sauce is curry based which is pleasantly different. Pasta was all well cooked and the crab fried nicely such that it’s crispy. Quite good, would get again.

Matcha latte: 5/7 Very rich and indulgent - heavy on the matcha. Also quite sweet, wouldn’t have minded it with less sugar.

Smoked brisket hash: 5/7 Big serving of toast, tornado eggs, potatoes and brisket. And all in good proportion too which was appreciated. All well cooked but lacked a strength in flavour to really amaze.

K-pop chicken and pancakes: 5/7 Very well cooked and great, strong flavours. Would definitely be a 6 if maybe I had it earlier and the chicken was all...

Dropped by on a rainy day, and honestly? Best decision ever. The cozy vibe inside, paired with the food—pure comfort. Exactly what you want when it’s pouring outside.

Started with the Soft Shell Spaghetti—and let me just say, the soft shell crab was bomb. Super crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The spaghetti? Perfectly sauced—light, balanced, and brought the whole dish together beautifully. It’s the kind of plate you think about the next day.

Then came the Pancake K-Pop Chicken. One word: CRISPY. The chicken had that shatter-in-your-mouth crunch, and the sauce? Sweet, spicy, sticky, and totally addictive. Paired with that fluffy pancake? Genius move. It’s comfort food with a K-pop twist, and I’m 100% here for it.

Also tried the Fried Feast Chicken Burger—thick, juicy, and fried to perfection. The kind of burger that stays crunchy even halfway through. Big, bold, and absolutely worth the mess on your hands.

For drinks, I grabbed the Mango Matcha, and it’s officially on my list of favorite matchas in town. Refreshing, earthy, with a subtle mango twist—it’s super well-balanced and not overly sweet. Loved it.

And if you're a coffee lover, don’t sleep on the Vanilla Cream Cold Brew. Smooth, bold, and creamy—but not sweet, which I really appreciate. You get all the flavor of good coffee with a hint of vanilla that doesn’t overpower. Super satisfying, especially if you’re not into sugary drinks.

Every dish was flavorful, well-cooked, and seriously hit the spot. Rain or shine, this place is a must-visit. Already planning...

We have traditional pancakes, prawn & chorizo pasta and breaky veggies burrito and flat white.

Coffee was excellent, 5 out of 5, the coffee is not burnt or over roasted, not acidic. Perfect taste.

Breaky veggies burrito and prawn chorizo pasta are so delicious. The flavour profile and textures of both dishes are amazing. The combination of prawn, feta cheese, and grilled cherry tomatoes balance up the richness of prawns and chorizo. The grilled capsicum and rocket in the burrito makes the burrito have very distinctive charred tastes. The bread for the burrito is light and fluffy. Yumm... I can't stop thinking of those dishes.

Traditional pancakes - the flavour profile is very good. Sadly, there was miscommunication between the waitress and the kitchen, that is, the kitchen serves the pancakes without the banana, which is disappointing. However, the waitress has seriously addressed this issue and apologies for this mistake. Hence, the service is 5 out of 5.

Overall, it is a very nice dining experience with my family. We will definitely come back again.

PS: the atmosphere is very good, but it is a bit noisy inside the cafe and very noisy on the street ( next door is under renovation). So, I give...
