We visited Sydney on our honeymoon, and while we saw most sights during the day time, we absolutely loved visiting the Night Noodle Market! It had been a rainy afternoon when we stepped into a sushi train restaurant to escape the downpour. Once we ate our sushi and were ready to leave, it had gotten completely dark out and was fully night time (we were eating sushi for a while LOL). While this would have normally been an annoyance (finding our way back to our hotel in the dark), it turned into one of the most amazing experiences we had in Sydney! There was a giant parade going on with colorful dragon figures marching around, lots of liveley music playing, a bustling atmosphere, and best of all - tons of vendors serving noodles, kebabs, bao buns, and so much more! Even though we had just eaten an enormous amount of sushi, you better believe we partook in all of the amazing fare. If you ever have a chance to attend one of the Night Noodle Markets, definitely do not pass up the opportunity. We happened to find it by accident, and were so glad we did! read more

YES, NOODLE MARKET, YES. One of the most magical nights I had in Sydney. As a foodie fanatic, lover of new cultures, and outdoor-art nut, this was the dream. There's tons of food stands, food trucks, patio/seating areas, photo backgrounds, twinkle lights, Chinese lanterns GALORE, and more all in Hyde Park. I tasted so many foods - BBQ skewers, noodle plate, and even a fruity drink that came in a coconut. The food was all delicious (and hard to choose), but the atmosphere here is what makes it for me. There's so many happy people and beautiful lights, which truly makes for an incredible atmosphere. I think these markets pop up a few times a year (you'll have to double check). read more

Awesome stands of all your favorite Asian restaurants that include Mamak, Din Tai Fung, Chat Thai and New Shanghai. There's just so much to choose from but no enough room in your stomach! So fellow Yelper SylwiaW and I went around and got a few different things from a few different stands. The longest line was Mamak's and we just ordered the roti, but kinda wish I got the noodles. We got the veggie dumplings and potato pancake from New Shanghai and a few more dumplings at Dim Sum Station. Starts to add up $ wise while wanting to try different things. All very tasty and we were getting full but felt like we had to have noodles at the Noodle Market. Sigh, in the end we walked by the little cake shop and got a sesame ball with red bean and a mango pancake with icecream. We were stuffed but sadly did not have any noodles. read more

**2013** Another "first" in Sydney (and probably the last). Why? Food costs more but tastes worse than dining in the actual restaurant. Dont get me wrong, I think the night noodle market is a great concept as it allows people to try food from different restaurants all at a same place. (especially ones that you have never tried before). But the food quality is very disappointing. Based on the lines, it seems that the favorites are Mamak, Din Tai Fung and Ramen Burger. To be honest, I am not sure why people bother waiting in line at DTF stall? It does not make sense because there is one DTF across the street (at Westfield foodcourt), with A/C and comfortable seatings. Unless this is your first time trying DTF, you should be trying other food! (since there are about 40 stalls around?) Here are some of the food I tried 1) New Shanghai : Value set C ($18) - 3 steamed veggie dumpings : OK, filling was generous but all of the dumplings' skin were torn. - 3 small scallion pancakes : Not good, too much dough, couldnt even taste the scallions. Disappointing - 4 pan fried pork dumplings : Not bad ! (probably the highlight of the night). Love the "soup" inside, tasted good with the chilli sauce NOT VALUE FOR MONEY, cant believe I paid $18 for of the above. BOO 2) Zilver Restaurant : Stir Fry Noodles with duck ($12) **DO NOT GET THIS** - the noodles way too soggy, I could not stomach it anymore after 5 bites. - MSG overload !!!! Be warned that the servers speak very little English...I ended up speaking to him in cantonese because he just could not get the order right. (come on, the word "two" coupled with my finger pointing at the stir fry noodle with duck picture....not rocket science!) And the worst part is that it is the same person serving the food + collecting the money, their hands were extremely oily....so oily that I wrapped my change with napkins and washed them at home. [my first time ever having to do that] Though the portion is generous (but what's the point if it tastes horrible?) and the duck pieces are pretty good. BOO BOO BOO 3) Himalayan Yummy Restaurant : Momo (5 pieces - $6) Very disappointing as well. The fillings were tasteless, lack of spices. But the sauce that came with the momos was pretty good. TIP: Unless you get there at 5pm (when it starts), it will be difficult to find seats. Bring your own picnic blanket :) read more

It's fun if you make it fun. Is it overpriced? Yes. Is it ridiculously busy? Yes. Are there good places to sit, eat, and hang out? If you're lucky. The night noodle market is definitely an experience and worth checking out. But come prepared for long lines and small, expensive portions. They do only accept cards and not cash which helps speed things up. read more

I have to say, I hate new things. New things in Sydney that is. New things in Sydney are always full of giggling idiots, zigzagging around and waving their arms about. By 2014 the Night Noodle Market is not a new thing. So now I love it. Before I came I did my research (read an article on Urban List) so there would be no messing about. I skipped lunch so I wouldn't feel bad about my plan to eat only dessert gyoza for dinner. I was lucky enough to come with a Citibank card holding friend so we could sit in the concierge area. The market had already been on for a couple of weeks so it wasn't as busy as I'd expect for a Thursday night. It was definitely worth the hike up from Kent Street. The atmosphere is great here, the food is good (although I'm sure there'd be some bad options in all those stalls if you're too adventurous) and we had a newly transferred colleague from USA with us which I was surprised to find made me feel proud that we had something like this to show off in Sydney. The salted caramel and the peanut butter gyoza are delicious (standard market price at $8 each) and gave me a chance to show off my Japanese skills which consist entirely of yelling arigato gozaimasu in response to the chefs who yelled it at me. I also nicked a taro bun off my friend. I imagine this is Taiwanese comfort food. I definitely see the appeal of the Noodle Market and wish I hadn't left it so late as I might not get another chance to go until next year. I have to say, I love old things in Sydney. read more

After living in Sydney for nearly 4 years I finally made it to the Night Noodle Market. And it did not disappoint well worth the 4 year wait, specially since its cashless which means no fumbling around looking for coins just tap and go. I was lucky enough to get there early so for me the wait time was reasonable but as I left around 7pm the lines where very long on some places like Mr Boa Bun. Which means you know they are going to be good. So get there early I plan to go straight there next time and try them out. Sake is a must to try, the prawn dumplings were unique and tasted amazing. I ventured out and tried their signature loaded fries which was a great decision. I can say I have never tasted anything like it. They had a flavour that is hard to describe but I enjoyed it and recommend that everyone try it. One Tea Lounge have cute matcha brownie shots. These are a must to try. If you want to try something different and expand your food horizons you definitely need to go to the night noodle markets. read more

This is a must-attend event where all the good food is in one place. So it's good marketing for restaurants. The biggest downside that it is more pricier than its restaurant counterparts so if the restaurant is nearby (use your Yelp skills to find that out!), then you are better off going to the restaurant which will be less crowded so you are guaranteed to get a table and all the perks of being indoors. Otherwise the live music and the nearby beer gardens makes this place a great after work chill out spot, not to mention the "Sydney Life" Art and About installation nearby is something worth checking out for those into art. read more

Very sad and very sorry for going to Hyde park night noodle markets. We got there at 7.30pm as the sun was going down. We went to the first line just outside St James station. The woman for the security company Constant Security asked if we could go to the second line on other side of the park because the queue would be shorter to get in. So we walked up and then around to the right heading for the second entrance. As my wife and daughter and myself were approaching the entrance A tall African man about 6ft 7 tall about 30 years of age and wearing a orange T shirt approached my daughter and said to her it's okay don't be afraid as he was about to put his arm around her. She said in a low voice DAD. I turned and looked at him and then I put my hand on her back and steered forward away from him. We entered the second entrance and joined the queue. My wife walked forward to the CONSTANT SECURITY MAN at the second gate and told him what had happened. His response was it has nothing to do with us. We walked inside to try and find the police. We spoke to another constant Security woman. And told her what happened. She spoke on her two way to speak to her superior. Her superior was the woman who told us to go to the second gate. She was shocked. We gave her a description of the man. She spoke on her two and thanked us for telling her and she left so they could find the African man. We entered the markets and ate but it left bad feeling in us. So we left quickly and returned home. I do hope they caught the African man. By the why we did not see one policeman in the night noodle markets. read more

The Night Noodle Markets in Hyde Park take me back to a festival in Bangkok; my paper plate overflowing with Pad Thai topped excessively with chilli flakes, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts and wedges of lemon. The main differences? This plate of noodles cost $12, not 20 cents. And this time, I had to line up for half an hour before I could eat. As part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival, the Night Noodle Markets add a touch of spice to Sydney's Spring night-life. Hyde Park is illuminated by a rainbow of neon lights, and as Sydney's favourite Asian restaurants pitch their stalls, hundreds of Sydney-siders line up to fill their plates with dumplings, roti, pad thai, fried rice, dim sum and noodles any-which-way. The food is delicious, and naturally so, coming from some of Sydney's best Asian restaurants (think Din Tai Fung, Mamak and New Shanghai). Tables and chairs dot the park (although not nearly enough to cater to the masses), market-goers drink beer from plastic cups and veteran marketers gaze skyward from their picnic rugs, sushi-roll in hand. Despite the long-lines and hiked prices at this inner-city market, the festival-feel of the Night Noodle Markets has Sydney's hungry herds forgiving, forgetting, and flocking back, year after year. read more

Night Noodle Markets = brilliance. With fairy lights and lanterns strung through the Hyde Park trees, the vibe is magical. Stop on in any night this week or next (10-14, 17-21 Oct) and the mecca of Asian street food will be at your fingertips. I recommend heading in before 6:30pm, however, or you will likely face queues that wrap and swirl around themselves. Very noodle-y indeed. I walked into the park (free entry) and jumped into the dumpling line closest to me, which happened to be the popular Din Tai Fung. In about 15 minutes I found myself juggling plastic trays of pork dumplings and pork buns for not more that $12 total. Because all the plastic tables were occupied, my friends and I chose a friendly patch of grass and went to work with our chopsticks. Mid-way through the chow down, a parade of Chinese dragon dancers wound through the crowd with a mobile Taiko drum in tow. With an array of smells, flavors and cultures all mixed together here at the Night Noodle Markets, there's a little something for everyone. read more

Night Noodle Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Once a year for two weeks during the month long Crave Food Festival, Hyde Park is transformed into a land of Chinese Lanterns, all types of Asian food delicacies, bars, music, and randomly in an Asian marketplace, the now apparently obligatory Gozleme stall. Chinese dragons roam free and there are tables and chairs to sit on if you haven't been organised enough to BYO picnic blanket. In just another sign of exactly what I think is wrong with Sydney, the festival goes from 5-9pm weekdays. 5-9pm, really? Something like this in any other major city INCLUDING our alleged arch-rival Melbourne, would go til at least 11. Come on Sydeny, get your shit together! The festival is so much fun, there is great food and a great variety here ranging from Gow Gee and Japancakes to the Himalayan Kitchen. There are live bands, DJs and this year a guy giving free "karaoke massages" (I'll leave that up to your imagination)! It is always still packed when they start kicking everyone out at around 9.30, and I guess everyone makes like I do and takes their money elsewhere... read more

The Noodle Market seems to have everything except Vegetarian options! Very few stalls offer Vegetarian noodles and even fewer offer more than One item. No choice = No fun.. Held in Hyde Park, it is part of the Crave Sydney Food Festival. After sunset, the park is transformed in to a Market. The stalls occupy the fringe and there are plenty of tables in the middle of the park. A couple of Water and Juice stations are randomly scattered and because the Stalls accept cash there is an ATM on site. I quite enjoyed watching the traditional music instruments being played by two artists. I think it was the Zheng and Zhong. What did I have for dinner? - A few spring rolls and a couple of curry puffs. read more

Nights. Noodles. Markets. These three things independently bring me joy. When their powers are combined, well, let's just say I'm happier (and fuller) than a plastic pumpkin at Halloween. Now don't fret gluten free friends- there are options for you here too. Contrary to popular belief (and my personal practices of noodle+face mania) there's more than just noodles here. You'll find curries, yum cha, laksa, noodles of the rice variety and plenty of other options to stuff in your wheat-hating face. It's a bit harder for vegos/vegans, but as long as tofu tickles your fancy, you'll be fine. You know what else there are? Lines. Lots of them. So come prepared, bring plenty of cash and your appetite. It's a great night out in Sydney's CBD. read more

Noodle Night Markets?? What a FIASCO!! I happened to be there last night right at the start as I was passing through the area.They DONT take cash. Bad...really , bad idea.You have to buy one of their Visa cards, $5 a pop, and use that. Either pre-loaded $25/50. No change of course. You can use any left over like an ordinary credit card and use it elsewhere. So too bad if you are passing through/tourist/overseas visitor. It took having to ask 5 different stall holders and 1 security guard to be shown the rough direction of the tent that sold the cards.It was closed. Luckily nearby was a girl in a hot pink top who had them in her hand. So be prepared before you go or buy on line. I felt sorry for the stall holders as there were lots of stunned lookers but not many buyers because they didn't take cash. What a lot of rigmarole for a few sate sticks!!!! I ate elsewhere. read more

You don't come to the NNM for the food. Overall, its just ok, and nowhere as good as actually eating in the restaurant itself. Add in long queues and its just not a "foodie" event. That said, hanging out with friends in Hyde Park on a spring night is great! If you're a Citibank customer, the Citibank tent (look for the fairy light/giant maypole arrangement) is quite lovely, though expect to wait 45 minutes+ for your "noodle concierge" to show up with food! read more

Each year, I'm like a starry eyed kid in a Candy store when I arrive at the entrance to the Noodle Markets, admiring the atmosphere - the busy nighttime crowds, bright lights strung across the markets, and the smells of heated woks and skewers being barbecued. It's a scene associated with the buzzing night markets seen in Asia and rarely in Australia, so it's a real treat to come to the markets and be part of the atmosphere each year. The crowds can be a bad thing though - a night out is a hit or a miss. Come on the latter half of the week and the queues are horrendously long, leaving you wanting to pick out one dish and be out of there. Come on a Monday though and you'll have the luxury of doing a few laps of the markets scoping out the goodies, and best of all, be able to sample smaller dishes from a few different stalls. It's worth seeing, even if you aren't a fan of noodles (the name is deceptive - there are lots of non-noodle foods and even bars!). read more

SUCH A FUN PLACE! If you like noodles or Asian food, you need to stop by this market and get some! there are lots of seating and also live music and performances. it was so fun. good food for the whole family read more

Lets start with the location of the amazing, annual Night Noodle Market: Hyde Park. It's iconic, lovely and all the more merry when packed with pop-up bars, music stages, PHOTO BOOTHS, and lanes upon lanes of all things Asian, "the culinary edition." Going to the noodle market on the opening night left my heart absolutely fluttering... All of the trees were laced in colored lights and Chinese lanterns, tables were filled with noodle box nuzzlers, and Rekorderlig Cider, my FAVORITE cider, had a magical tent set up where they were giving out free samples. This year's noodle markets are aligned with Art and About which simply makes the ambiance all the more spectacular! Just outside of the market area, Hyde Park's main walkway is adorned with photographs and buzzing with artsy spectators. And when this visual o-gasm is combined with the sensory overload that is Asian cuisine, it really doesn't get better ... Be warned: This is NOT Asian street food, as I had imagined. Rather, it's restaurants in the city selling some of their menu items from festival-like tents. This means that you pay roughly the same price you'd pay in a restaurant for less food of a lesser quality .... Plan to spend between $10 and $15 for a main dish item, indeed. But even though food is what's in the name, this event is really all about celebrating the beauty and diversity of Sydney in an all to iconic spot. Sample the massive variety of food tents with friends. Bring a blanket and jam out to the music you'd never listen to at home! Make the most of this event, because it's definitely not to be missed! read more

while visiting Sydney on vacation from the states, we stumbled upon this night market our first night. It was honestly soo nice and soo different from the states. We didnt have any cash and we were so sad when we walked in cuz we totally thought something like this would be a cash only place, BUT NO! EVERYWHERE IS CARD ONLY. cept were from the states, so we are nuubs and dont got no paywave. =[ The korean fried potato sticks were soo good. Honestly it just had a good time. Maybe the food was a little overpriced, but i didnt care much. I was on vacation. It was awesome. read more

It was really fun, very pretty, picturesque, but very casual, lots of families, people sitting on the grass, plastic chairs, etc. I also thought it was fairly pricey for what it was. I probably spent about $35 on food and I got a ramen noodle burger (oily, but very, very yummy! would recommend), some chicken pancakes and various dumplings, plus drinks, so all up about $50. I would definitely go again, but order one big thing and not spend so much on essentially Asian street food which ought to be really, really cheap. If I pay restaurant prices, I should be sitting in a restaurant, shouldn't I? read more

I came here with a few Sydney-siders. Being from Perth this noodle market was HUGE! There were so many stalls it was a hard decision to make. We tried steamed gyoza which were so amazing and a Vietnamese 'pancake' (which was wrapped in a rice paper sheet) which was out of this world! I made a mistake in ordering a 'buffet' styled lunchbox with everything from dumplings to noodles, to bbq meats but it was only $5. It was a bit too carby and starchy. Never again. Bottles of wine were $40 for a cheapo and the actual food was pricier and smaller than if you were to go to China Town. There were DJs and music so you can dance the night away or sit back, relax and do some people watching on the grass or comfy cushions. It is a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy music, but it is pricey so you are better off going to an actual restaurant for food and wine! read more

Good place to get some food after work in those three weeks but not really cheap. Food was good but I would say expensive. I come every year and I do like it that is running this year for three weeks as wasn't that busy like last year where you had to line up for 20mins just in one line. Like the cider gardens. Great place to catch up with friends. read more

Great atmosphere, especially as night sets in. We used it not as dinner but for pre-drinks or late night snacking over a few nights. The lines at some places are insane considering there's so many options to choose from, and so if in a rush you should be able to still find something. Note that drinking a coconut inside the Noodle Market grounds = a normal, and refreshing accompaniment to the many culinary delights on offer. Taking that coconut and finishing it walking around the rest of Sydney = not so normal, and a chance you will become "the coconut guy" as strangers called me. read more

Sadly, the Night Noodle Markets are no longer any good. Limited seating, usually snapped up by large groups as soon as it opens. And the prices are through the roof - you are paying restaurant prices for a tiny take-away portion. And the huge queues result in long waits and tepid food. There are very limited options if you don't eat pork or chicken, and many places have a 'minimum' spend on items like dumplings. Honestly, go to have a look at the lanterns and the inflatable panda, and then go home and call for take out. It would be much better value. read more

It is events like these that allow you to continually fall in love with Sydney. I went on the second night of the event and have mixed feelings. Sitting in Hyde Park all lit up, live music, a happy busy vibe and some great friends was amazing - 5 stars. Buying really really expensive wine that normally costs $15 and eating $30 worth of food and not being full - 2 stars :( My recommendations here are get in early to get a table. Get tactical about finding one fan out and cover all parts of the market. Drink before and after eating your noodles at a local pub! If you want a great night to soak up the Spring air with some good friends go to the noodle market. A stand out on the night was The Eight Modern Chinese Restaurant. If its not your idea of a good time go check out some of the restaurants represented here in person such as Long Grain, Chinta Ria and Mamak. read more

Sydneysiders also know how to appreciate and enjoy good food as much as Melbourne does; and this annual event that runs usually in October every year is living proof that this analogy holds true. Right now (until the 21st of October for this year anyway) Sydney's majestic Hyde Park hosts the night noodle markets from 5pm. The entry is free, however you need to get in real quick as Hyde Park quickly and easily gets swamped with foodies allergic to their homes. It all makes sense as there is so much choice at all the different food stalls to enjoy a sit down dinner in a plastic chair (and in warm weather) with a glass of beer from the Coopers Beer Garden; and yum the peking duck on offer is just sensational. I am looking forward to coming back to this event; as a visitor this time instead of a local next weekend when I will be in Sydney on business. Noodles and Aussie ale go hand in hand. If you have children; the kids crazy island tea party (also as part of this annual festival) should not be overlooked; literally where Sydney harbour will be transformed into a magical food playground. Be entertained. Satisfy your inner food critic. read more

Night Noodle Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Sydney, NSW

The Night Noodle Market is certainly different and a must for foodies. With an abundance of food and a fusion of Asian flavour, the market attracts thousands of people throughout October (two weeks) during the International Food Festival. The layout of the market is similar to the Singapore Hawker style restaurant, where you can walk between stalls and pick and choose a variety of dishes to make up a complete meal. The noodle market can get a little packed, what with all the people who have come from all over Sydney. The relaxed atmosphere is contagious and rather enjoyable. Sit back and watch live entertainment while you inhale your food! Overall, it's a great night out and should be bookmarked in the diary every year! If you have guests staying, the Night Noodle Markets are a great place to bring visitors. I only wish I had this much good food around the corner from me! read more

Wow. Like Santa, It only comes once a year, but it sure is worth the wait. My giggly friends and I remarked that we felt as if we were going on holidays when we sauntered through the Domain on a warm October night. The long-anticipated NIght Noodle Markets launch at the start of daylight savings, and go for two weeks. Although often very crowded, the Night Noodle Markets are worth what might be a forty minute wait for your food. You simply pick a line - back it! - and choose something from the delicious-sounding menu. This year, I got some amazing Malaysian Noodles, which turned out to be a great choice. The park is decorated with Chinese-style lanterns, there is music, wine is available... Happy days. Seriously, what could be better than a steaming hot plate of delicious Asian food, a glass of wine and friends on a summer evening? read more

This outdoor noodle bonanza is a must for those who want to celebrate Sydney's annual Crave Food Festival. Conveniently located in Hyde Park, it's just a few streets away for most of us who work in the city and easy to get to by train, too. The set-up sees well-known restaurants take to the park in tent form, dishing out takeaway versions of their signature dishes and specials created just for the event. Spread in a sort of circular fashion with vast seating and picnic areas in the middle (I swear there were more food tents last year? Anyone?) queues to collect your meal can be long; make a pit stop at the beverages tent first to tide your hunger over with a beer, vino or cocktail. This year's event saw the addition of the Longrain hut, with a wait for food that proved the public's excitement at their debut NNM appearance. I tried the tofu salad, a tasty combination of two chucks of cold silken tofu topped with a substantial amount of Thai coleslaw made of cabbage, yellow soy bean and a sweet vinegar and soy sauce dressing. Let's hope the Asian fine diner will be back for more in 2012. read more

This year the noodle market is cashless and what a fantastic idea! And by cashless I don't mean those annoying tokens but card only payments. My tips are to order the pork bao and chicken karage bao from mr bao buns - the line can be long but if you download and order on the 'hey you' app then you will not have to wait! The soft shell crab in Vietnamese roll from crab house was delicious and worth the $14.50. The raindrop cake from harajuku gyoza is going to be a big hit this year - it is not great for taste but visually it hits the mark. It is definitely worth dropping by this stall as the staff are bubbly, loud and a lot of fun. Messina gelato and black star pastry are popular dessert options but if you want a shorter line grab a waffle on a stick with Nutella and strawberries. There are plenty of bar areas with pimms appearing to be a major sponsor this year. With so many stalls and so many amazing food options you need to visit this years markets more than once I know I will be! read more

The highlight of the Sydney Food Festival (which runs yearly in October) has to be the Night Noodle Markets. The markets are set up in Hyde Park that transforms into an Asian hawker-style market. The stalls are there in their dozens selling noodles, dumplings and desserts from some of the best known Asain restaurants in Sydney like Longrain, Mamak and Din Tai Fung. You can kick back in the Coopers beer garden and enjoy the nightly entertainment while you feast. This is a must do if you're in Sydney around this time. read more

I was so excited to visit this as a visitor to Sydney, but unfortunately the only day I could come happened to be a very rainy, gross day. Such a shame, because I love Asian food and there would be nothing better than to have the city's best restaurants together in one spot. I still visited in an attempt to make the most of it, but the weather just was not cooperating. There were puddles and mud everywhere. I got to try a few places that were good, and I liked seeing how everything was set up. I think if the weather had been beautiful, I would really have enjoyed my visit!! The beer garden was great, and there really were so many great food places to choose from. Of course, the rain decided to downpour while I was there and shops started closing one by one until eventually security came around and told my group that the market was closed. I really wish I could be back in Sydney to fully appreciate the Night Noodle Markets on a nice day, but unfortunately I don't think I'll be around again anytime soon. read more

Pros: Lots of great food stalls! Covers a large area. Very fun outdoorsy night. I highly recommend! I went twice! My favorite was the Korean kimchi fries which u can choose your meat option as a topping, so tasty, I forget name of the stall, only thing is the young cashier lady taking the order is really rude with an obnoxious loud mouth, but food is so good so it keeps me coming back. Also, another good place is Pinoy, they have good bbq skewers, I like their chicken more than their pork skewers. For alcohol, there r lots of bar stalls. I love Asian food so that what's this festival is, lots of yummy creative Asian food ! Cons: long lines to get food, but no worries cuz its an opportunity to chit chat with friends in line. Seating is limited so optionally u can sit on the grass, maybe bring a blanket to sit on. The Pimms alcohol bar serves too sweet of a drink they serve only one type of drink and it's a fruity sweet drink and very little alcohol, I can't even taste the alcohol and never felt a buzz, watered down, and I'm a light weight drinker. The Pimms setup is cute tho so I like the vibe of their bar area. Another thing I wished the noodle festival had was more entertainment, I went on a weekday and it was missing live music , bummer! I think they should provide live music and more seats. read more

not worth it, better go to the restaurant. i dont get it why this even is so overrated. i guess, they've successfully over promote their event. there is nothing there except overly crowded place. i had to wait for more than an hour to get a baby size food with a riddiculoualy expensive price which turn out taste like something you can make better in your home. not again ! read more

all I can say is, make sure you get there early in order to get a table. many great food vendors with lots of different choices, events like this one is just another reason why Sydney is the best city in the world to live. read more

Great idea, but not enough stalls for the number of people. Queues were far too long, we ended up eating elsewhere
