If someone told me they were vegan, I would not believe them. Some must order items are the vegan prawns (which have an amazing texture and really taste like prawns) are my absolute favourite, along with the Peking duck that comes with pancakes, cucumber and hoisin sauce. The homemade sweet potato gnocchi, chickpea battered cauliflower, taro chips, and vegan fried chicken sliders are all tasty. The ambiance is really cute. The have loads of outdoor seating, and only a few indoor. We sat indoors during the summer and we were so hot, I'm talking dripping in sweat hot. Make sure you book accordingly. Although it was sauna hot, the service, ambiance, and taste all made up for it. I've been twice and I can't wait to go back again.

I strongly disliked the 'crust' and the sugar free chocolate peanut butter was too similar to 'fake sugar' tasting. Otherall disappointed, especially because they're very expensive!!! I'd say overpriced compared to the other vegan establishments.

It isn't entirely 'super food' or 'raw food' but more accurately; 'comfort food' on the vegetarian dining spectrum. Inside its a humble diner-style place with light wood furnishings and a sunny courtyard out the back. Most of the food is on display at the front and ready-to-assemble if you're in a rush. Like burgers? Well, you'll be spoilt for choice here if you're a vego. There are about 5 different kinds; like zucchini and feta, cajun spiced tofu or chipotle smoked mushroom. Personally, I cant go past the mixed plate. A rainbow of whatever the daily salads, edame falafel, changing dips - oh dips! - house made pickles and pita bread. It will fill you up good. Healthy, hearty, homely food.

The burgers are incredibly tasty for vegetarian food. I had the olive and almond burger. The mix of the beetroot relish, mayo, tomato relish were flavoursome, just like a great burger, and they were oozing out of the burger. The sweet potato chips with basil mayo are the bomb!!! I ordered them everytime I see the truck and here at the diner, I was presented with a bigger serving. They are my favourite chips in Sydney. Service is so-so, the food came out fast. You order at the counter and water is self-service. Decor is like that of a cute trendy cafe but nothing special. Food is the highlight here. Hours after lunch, I'm still salivating over the burgers and sweet potato chips. Cannot wait to return.

We got to the restaurant 1.5 hours before closing. They still had several customers left so it was still pretty busy. We ordered the banh xeo with pork, fried rice, and the lamb ribs. Everything was amazing but we could not get over how delicious the lamb ribs were! It's like umami perfection. The ribs were cooked perfectly and whatever sauce or seasoning they used was just fantastic. The staff were definitely busy running around but they didn't make us wait too long to order. If I weren't just travelling for a few days, I'd say I'd be back soon. I wish I could!

The tuna melt was very tasty as well. The sourdough bread was well toasted adding some crunchiness. I'll definitely go back for more.

This is hands-down my favourite place for lunch in Sydney. I seriously get excited about working in…read moreour Sydney office purely because it's directly across from the MLC Centre so I can stuff myself silly with Iku food throughout the work day. Iku Wholefood is a chain of 12 stores scattered throughout Sydney offering healthy but delicious vegan food. It's popular across the board, not just with the vegan crowd, which is a testament to how delicious it is. Iku has a wide variety of food options crammed into a tiny food-court space. Their display counter includes a dizzying array of sweet treats like cookies, pastries, and muffins, as well as savoury snacks like nori rolls, polenta and couscous slices, rice balls, millet balls, etc. And that's just their display counter. Their full menu itself includes pies, salad plates with a variety of mix-and-match options, lasagne, casseroles, curries, and soups. By far my favorite thing on the menu is the macroburger. It's described as "a tofu fritter served on a steamed wholemeal bun spread with tahini sauce, topped with leafy green salad and Iku salad dressing." I don't normally like tofu but this is crazy delicious and unrecognisable as anything tofu-y. I seriously fantasise about biting into a delicious Iku macroburger while I'm on the flight over to Sydney because I'm filled with giddy expectation and I know it'll be the first thing I eat when I land. You can also get the mildly healthier macrobiotic wrap, which contains the same ingredients as the macroburger, just in wrap form and with slightly more greens. Note that both of these are a bit messy to eat, so probably not best to take into a lunch meeting with important executives. That and you'll rudely inhale it because it's so delicious. I also enjoy the Iku pies (filled with beans, chickpeas, lentils, veggies, etc.), sweet treats (I've had their muffins and a couple of cookies -- delicious), and nori rolls (the sauce is amazing). Everything tastes so fresh and innovative. The only thing that didn't wow me was the lasagne. I felt it was a bit bland. I haven't tried any of the casseroles, curries, or soups yet. They also do breakfast, which I haven't tried either. This Iku is located in the MLC Centre, which is the funny round UFO-shaped building on the south side of Martin Place -- you can't miss it. Just walk into the food court and Iku is near the entrance on your right. Because this is a food court in the middle of the CBD, seating is scarce between 12pm and 2pm. If you want to find a seat, go early for lunch (around 11am -- the benefit there is you can ogle all the gorgeous young tradies eating their lunches -- oh sorry off-topic), or go after 2pm. Or just get take-out and bring it back to your desk. There are 11 other locations around the CBD and nearly all of them get amazing reviews, so definitely check this chain out :) I wish they had them in Melbourne!!

No matter that there was no meat here, it was "knock your socks off" good by any measure. I've eaten a lot of great meals, but this one stands out for its creativity and the ease with which it dispelled any thoughts that meals without meat are somehow lacking. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Each of the dishes was fantastic in its own right. They combined flavor and texture to make memorable mouthfuls from start to finish. The wine pairings were spot on. I wish that I didn't live an ocean away from this place so I could return on a regular basis. If you are eating in Sydney, this is a fabulous place to do it!

Multiple people had to thumb through the eating part of the cutlery to try to find a "clean" piece of cutlery. This grossed me out so much I'm never eating there again. I was also astounded that the very pleasant staff didn't notice or take action on this, even though a number of them were standing right there watching. If it were me working there I'd be so embarrassed, and immediately rewash them. A number of options here are good value, but smears are just not on. BYO chopsticks, yo.

Inside, there are maybe 3 tables, a counter with 6 seats and a mezzanine with a few more tables. Call ahead (they take reservations) - things get served quickly so a wait shouldn't be too long. We stopped during happy hour so got a discount on large beers and a very nice Sauv Blanc. As for food - it's mostly dumplings with some steamed buns. Most dumplings come in orders of 4, so you can get a bit of variety if you're hungry. Others have mentioned the duck sliders ($11) and they're great - succulent duck with a bit of hoisin and some veggies for crunch. Dumplings wise, we had steamed pork, pork and shrimp and of course soup dumplings (9.90 each). All of them were delicious and made in house. The soup dumplings were my favorite - they had delicate skins and the filling/soup was incredible. Prices are really reasonable - 3 orders of dumplings, 2 orders of buns and 4 drinks - about $60.
