This is my favourite takeaway sushi joint in the CBD. If you're in the city and craving sushi you…read morereally need look no further. The sashimi is super fresh and ever so silky and the variety of sushi on offer is great. As well as the Sashimi, my picks are the sushi pieces of scallop and the grilled salmon, which you can buy individually, oh and the Miso soup is also great. Conveniently located in the food court under the QVB and Pitt St Mall, its a great lunch time spot through the week, and also on weekend shopping expeditions.

I preferred my pie with smashed potatoes and gravy. We liked Original beef pie the most as it has more beef flavor and it's with chunky beef not grounded beef. I also liked Steak and mushroom. The crusty was a bit doughy (not crunchy enough) for my taste though. The staff recognized us by now and he was very friendly. It's a small food shack but there were some seats available. They opened both rain and shine and really hit the spot when we just arrived from the airport and it was downpour.

You can make any pie a tiger pie which is a pie topped with mashed potatoes, mushy peas, and gravy. The flavor was good and the service was quick. Since this is a food truck, there's no real seating just some benches nearby. Everything was great until we sat down to eat. After taking our first bite, we noticed a bunch of rats running around. I have noticed quite a bit of rats during our short stay in Australia. Maybe it's a normal thing here bc people just continued eating and walked by without screaming but that's definitely not normal where I'm from. Also, these rats are not scared. They go pretty close to humans.

I recently met a friend in the land of suits known as the Westpac food court. Off Kent Street and…read morebehind Wynyard station, this lunchtime hotspot houses some great little take away stalls. From Thai to sushi, to sandwiches to kebabs, the options are pretty well rounded in these parts. With a grassy courtyard for lounging / tanning and dozens of tables scattered both in the shade and the golden sunshine, it provides the perfect little escape from the florescent lighting and artic air con in the office. If you're after something healthy (ish), I recommend you try one of Breadline's many wraps. Their Moroccan chicken is decent, with a spicy kick and creamy mayo to round it out. Get it toasted to avoid that "I've been sitting in a case all day" taste. You might even want to pick up a serve of one of their few salads to round it all out. Luckily everything comes in a take away container so it's easy to position yourself on the cozy grass. Plop down, grab your fork and stay awhile (or at least until the lunch hour ends). Good eats and free vitamin D in your day might just be the little kick you need to get you through.

It's a massive skyscraper building owned by Westpac with an assortment of decent looking shops, cafes, restaurants etc inside and even a "shirt bar" who would have done a roaring trade that day as I was sweating in a singlet! The thing that made it notable the particular day that I went was the knitted steps and the sweat-glistening guy doing yoga in just shorts in the arcade! I'm not sure if the knitting is permanent or part of Art & About but it was an unexpected pleasure to stumble across such a comforting colourful display in the thick of the CBDs suits! The guy doing yoga, well. Your guess is as good as mine.

It's the best place to get some takeaway food to eat while admiring the view and browsing through the shops. It's a small fast food place where you can get excellent hot dogs and the best fish and chips you'll ever get to eat. The fish is crispy on the outside while the inside is soft and fresh. The chips are absolutely yummy that you won't even mind all the calories you're inhaling. Quality food at really affordable prices, what more can you ask for?

Everything is deep-fried! I happened to be a little peckish after work one evening and was about to wander right past this concealed shop front, when I suddenly started feeling a little too healthy, so I walked up to see if there was anything that could possibly change that, and lo and behold, there were lots of possibilites! I ended up going with a Korean hot dog (basically the Korean version of an American corn dog), which shall now be know as a Cardiac Surprise! With more batter than dog - and let's face it, the humble hot dog is not known for it's healthy qualities anyway - I decided to make the interesting choice of actually finishing it! Think I'd had a bad day or something.

Each time I somehow find myself getting the Korean hot dog...not just one, but two...you can't beat $3 a pop!

It IS street meat after all so don't expect the best quality...it's also good if you're drunk, since they're open late.
