This place can get pretty busy - more like an asian market around lunchtime. Tables are very squishy and on this occassion we had to share a table with an elderly couple.

We ordered the steamed dumplings - beedf and basil and curried crab meat to try. I did like the crab meat ones but found the beef and basil one's lacked flavour and not enough basil in them at all.

Overall a good place for dumplings but try and come early to avoid the queue's.

Service can be abit lacking also.. but keep in mind it is popular with the locals.

This quirky and hip eatery is located nr the residential area of Queen Street. It does get quite busy on weekends but we try and come early for seating and order the bacon and egg sandwich! Love the crust bread it's served on , creamy aioli and love the fact the egg oozes when you bite into it.

The staff are friendly here as well but you do need to factor in food may take awhile to arrive to your table, but can be expected considering how busy it can be here.

This place serves my fave avocado shake, made with fresh fruit! It's so refreshing and i love the sweetness of condensed milk that they add.

They also serve other types of drinks and sweet desserts as well.

Seating is available inside , so you can also enjoy your drink there.

Staff are helpful as well, so ask away if your unsure of the flavour combinations or which dessert to try.

Great place for yum cha with lots of parking at the rear! We try and come around 10.30am to get served and seated straight away. My faves are the prawn rice paper noodles, prawn har gow and the prawn dim sim's! I love all things prawn ( in case you can't tell)... Everything is so fresh and piping hot, put a little chilli sauce on for extra flavour! Great place for lunch , but make sure you come early to avoid the lunch time queue's. Recommend to everyone for Yum Cha. Price is reasonable also

This review is for Twisted Noodle Bar, Sydney NSW

This noodle bar basically combine's everything in one convenient bowl, hence several types of meats: pork, pork mince, beef as well as tofu, egg, preserved Chinese vegetables and rice noodles. You stir it all together and taste's amazing!! They also serve you a complmentary side dish of a fried chicken and a sausage! Def. worth a try as it was delicious!

I do love coming here for the beef pho! It is so tasty and the broth is rich and flavoursome. They serve nice vietnamese rice paper rolls with pork and prawn as well.

They do get quite busy around lunch time so come abit early if you can. Decor is quite basic but def a nice place for lunch.

I love coming here for the "duck" rolls and vegie curry. It's a vegan lover's paradise. Everything comes quick, fresh to the table and staff are so friendly as well. They have lots of tempting items on the menu to try. Def. recommend you try here!

We come here for Pho every Tues arvo for an early dinner. Its nice and tasty , but the beef balls can be abit tough. I do love flavouring it with lots of chilli, mint and hoison sauce. Service is abit mediocre, pretty much walk in , sit down and be handed your menu really.

Friends and I come here for the egg noodles with roast duck and it never fails to disappoint. The duck is nice and crispy and is delicious with the noodle soup. They specialise in all things BBQ here - duck, pork , chicken (all the hanging kind nr the window). The service is very basic and so is the decor.

They have this same restaurant in Cabramatta but this place is alot smaller. I come for the pork chops with broken rice. This time however I was served the tinyest pork chop ....it looked half the size of my palm. I did try and tell the waitress but it's hard to communicate when alot don;t speak english. Might give this place a miss next time
