Table 9 is a family-owned and operated Vietnamese/Malaysian restaurant based along the popular and…read morebusy road of King Street. With so many different cuisines in this neighborhood competing for customers' patronage, every restaurant attempts to offer something familiar, popular or/and unique. Table 9 distinguished themselves by welcoming customers into their clean and comfortable setting, using fresh and quality ingredients as well as providing personal and attentive service. We came here with a group of 8 people and they were very accommodating throughout the evening. 'The Lot' is the most popular dish on the menu, which consists of thinly sliced Angus sirloin, juicy beef brisket, tender beef balls, beef tripe and succulent beef rib. It's a traditional dish that is accompanied with rice noodles immersed in 12-hour of beef broth and topped with fresh basil, chilli, lime and bean sprouts. Table 9 also serves both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages... where most Vietnamese Pho restaurants do not. Happy hours special is only $5 per glass. Ooh yeah~

The line was out the door, but moved fairly quickly. While waiting in line, we witnessed freshly hand stretched roti from their open kitchen. When we were seated, we paid with cash to get a 5% discount off our bill and placed our order at the front counter. If paying by card, ordering is done on your phone by scanning the QR code. The restaurant gives off Singapore Hawker vibes, but the Mixed Satay and the Mee Goreng are skippable. Pass on these items: 1. Mixed Satay - The beef satay was not fully cut and was difficult to bite off the skewer. The chicken satay was easier to eat, but lacked the satay element. The peanut dipping sauce was delicious and chunky. 2. Mee Goreng - hard pass - The noodles were somewhat cold despite taking the longest to bring to our table. The entire dish didn't seem fresh and lacked flavor. Definite must: 1. Roti Tisu - 11/5 - This was unique, flaky, crispy, sweet, and fun to eat. I highly recommend getting it with ice cream and eaten for dessert. In between the layers of roti is sprinkled sugar. Ending our dinner with Roti Tisu makes up for the Mee Goreng. 2. Roti Canai - 5/5 - Fluffy and crispy roti dipped in curry and beans. Ultimate comfort food.

Don't be shy as you may end up sharing a table with others. When we arrived we were at the start of a rush as the line developed behind us with an already full restaurant. Luckily we managed a spot sharing with a family of 5. We ordered their Char Kuay Teow and Ais Batu Kacang. And the family ordered Hainan Chicken Rice and Fish Head Curry. Smells really good. There was an interesting mix of customers from Thai, to Malaysian, to Indonesian. Mixed in with the a couple of locals. It took a while for our food to be served. So it left me thinking that he forgot our order... Finally it came! The Char Kuay Teow was pretty good - KL style. Slightly spicy but oddly with chicken, no Chinese sausage or clams. Regardless, it was tasty. It took a while for the drinks to come out as well. As the kitchen is pretty small. So be patient!

Our Cantonese heritage taste buds from Hawai'i would have been happy with steaming hot bowls of soup noodles and dumplings after our long travel day. Still, I suggested to my husband that we eat a familiar Asian cuisine we wouldn't usually get back home; hence, Malaysian & Nyonya were the answer. I had bookmarked Ho Jiak Haymarket because it was in the Chinatown neighborhood, where we also planned to explore, and it was about a 15-minute walk from there. We were certainly glad that we didn't have to wait in line to get in, as Google Maps photos show. We were seated immediately and took a few minutes to scroll through their extensive menu, then chose items from the Lunch Specials Menu. The Lunch Specials Menu included an entrée (choose from 8 selections) and a beverage (non-alcoholic or alcoholic) for A$25 or around $17 USD. FOOD: -Hainan Chicken Rice + Teh Tarik (cold): I received a half slow-poached chicken, fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, and a bowl of chicken broth. The chicken was garnished with fresh cucumber slices, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Also, it was served with chili sauce, soy sauce, and finely chopped ginger root and garlic. The tender poached chicken was juicy, non-greasy, and tasty. This dish was a healthy and toothsome meal. Teh Tarik is a Malaysian "pulled or shaken" milk tea, and I requested it in the cold or iced style because the outside temperature was quite hot. The Teh Tarik was refreshing, thirst-quenching, and flavorful. A$25 -Char Hor Fun + House Beer (Asahi Dry 330 ml): My husband selected this dish, but didn't know what to expect as he doesn't read or speak Chinese. Admittedly, my limited reading of Chinese characters suggested that this dish might be similar to my "usual" Cantonese childhood comfort food, Wat Tan Hor. When the Char Hor Fun was delivered to our table, I immediately recognized it as Wat Tan Hor, except that the egg sauce contained tender pork slices, shrimp, green vegetables, fish cake, and, I think, chunks of fish. The flat, broad rice noodles were stir-fried in soy sauce for additional seasoning, and we could tell the wok heat was perfect because there were very few broken noodles. When the server brought the House Beer, my husband was pleasantly surprised to receive an icy cold bottle of Asahi Dry. A$25 -Loh Bak: We selected this appetizer because of its description and our pork-leaning taste buds. Loh Bak is five-spiced pork jowl rolls wrapped in bean curd skin and deep-fried. We were thinking these pork jowl rolls would surely whet our appetites, and the deep-fried rolls didn't disappoint. A$20 This restaurant was lively, friendly, and clean with authentic-tasting Malaysian and Nyonya flavors. The service was prompt, amicable, and helpful.

Some other dishes were ordered to complement our soup. Sorry, can't remember what they were. I was being restricted from paying the bill and knowing what was ordered. I was impressed that 2 servers were assisting our table. It was very busy when we came but lucky to get a table almost immediately as one large group left opening it up for us. There were smaller groups waiting before us. Maybe they were take out. A little chaotic but service turned out okay. We did have to call to request several things. My cousins seem to accept this as the norm and didn't to be a bother to them. The noodle soup was delicious. A little too oily for my taste but the broth was amazing. It must've have cooked for several hours to get that nice rich depth of flavor. Chicken was tender melt in your mouth soft. Loved the spiciness too. Tofu was a nice texture and soaked up the broth well. This was the best Malaysian noodle soup I've had so far. Would love to come back and try the dim sum menu. Other noodle dishes looked good. Place is clean with a modern setting giving it a some what hosh posh kind of ambiance. I found it very loud making it difficult to talk to the person next to you. Maybe coming for lunch during the weekday might be less chaotic. Hope they come stateside.

We had to remind staff again before it finally arrived. There was no true concern shown for the bad service either. The staff shrugged their shoulders going 'you can see how busy we are.' One dish took around 30 minutes, while the second took close to an hour. Throughout the meal there was little to no attentiveness from staff and the service felt quite unfriendly overall. For the price point, there are far better dining experiences in Sydney. Even if the food itself is good, making customers wait this long completely impacts the experience and makes it difficult to enjoy the meal by the time it arrives. Unfortunately wouldn't return. Makes me wonder if they are racist.
