Food is not exactly in short supply in Haymarket. Located in Chinatown, Eating World is an Asian food court that certainly delivers on value if not always on quality! And when it comes to the decor, try not to worry about that, you're not there to judge the interior design - which is lucky really, because it's definitely lacking in a little character. I
I haven't tried all of the stalls, as I've only recently discovered it, but there seems to be a pretty decent cross-section of Asian cuisines to choose from, although I can't vouch for the quality of all of them. My personal favourite is a little Japanese eatery called Kimama. Actaully, it's Kimama Kitchen Japanese Casual Dining to give it its full name, which is apt considering it's in a food court - you don't get much more casual than that. Although I wouldn't advise going there if you're in a rush. On my last visit I ordered the Karage Don ($9), basically fried chicken on a bed of rice topped with teriyaki mayo (there are other choices too), served with a bowl of miso. It was tasty and filled me up for the rest of the day, so passed my lunch test.
I also recently tried one of the Chinese options (can't remember its name) and was given enough food to last two meals - so no complaints on the value there either! read more
