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.

Not only do people need to put their hands over the cutlery to reach handles, but any sick people are talking over it. It also wasn't clean. Not just a bit, but with giant food smears. 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.

The atmosphere is lively and a bit rowdy, possibly because right outside is the hotel bar area. It's also good for big groups. Would definitely come back if I'm in Sydney again.

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!!

Vegan Thai in Darlinghurst…read more Kindness has the most fantastic corn fritters you will ever eat in your life. Perfectly spherical. Bursting with fresh corn flavor. After the fritters, things go downhill fast. They offer two kinds of tofu, regular and something called seaweed tofu. For the love of god, avoid anything with their seaweed tofu in any shape form or saucing. We had two different dishes with seaweed tofu in them, and hated both of them. Vegetables are fresh, al dente and not all that tasty. Kindness makes the dullest fried bananas and sweet rice on the planet. Fried bananas and Thai sweet rice are two of the easiest desserts you can possibly make. Bananas and sweet rice are as reliable as sesame balls. Except here. I suspect if you worked your way systematically through the menu, you would find a few more items as good as the corn fritters. So you can make this work if you really want to. But there is so much good Thai eating in Sydney ...

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.

I am the furthest from a vegetarian that you could get (I had ribs for lunch today,) so I was pretty skeptical about how a veggie burger would taste...my skepticism was unfounded because I have to admit it was a pretty good burger. I ordered an original Big Burger meal with no mustard and soy bacon. I thought blasphemy, bacon cannot be soy...but I was the blasphemous one for doubting the Lord (of the Fries.) For the fries I had the original fries (chunky + sweet potato available,) ordered Belgian mayo and Vietnamese mayo (spicy chili) on the side. The Belgian mayo was alright, but the Vietnamese mayo was bomb.com. The fries are double cooked and definitely some of the better fries I've had in Sydney...my favourite fries have been from Ogalo's, but Lord of the Fries gives it a run for its money...I will need to do some more taste testing with their other sauces. If you've been to America, I'd say that Lord of the Fries reminds me of a vegetarian Five Guys since the fries are very similar in taste and quality (minus Cajun fries) and they both offer burgers and hot dogs. The nostalgia may have influenced my review a bit...so take that into consideration. If you don't want to wait in a queue for a super long time, go in the arvo or after their official launch on Aug. 29th. Praise the Lord (of the Fries!!!) ***Update: I went again to try their hot dogs and ordered the Chicago dog. If you're a fan of hot dogs and a carnivore I would skip the hot dog and get the burger, it tastes bland and it's a bit "off," most likely missing the meat taste. If you're a vegetarian and really want a hot dog then order to your hearts content.
