Updating my review because I've tried other dishes too and they have not failed to disappoint. Also this place has ultimately dethroned Mamak (it's even has LINES sometimes so no disappointment there! Because it ain't a good restaurant without a wait right?): TASTE: No arguments here. The taste is pretty good and it lives up to its name (Fun fact: Sedap means delicious in Malaysian). PRICING: Very comparable to Mamak. Also accepts cards. LOCATION: Best location for a restaurant ever. MENU: More variety than Mamak. Not to mention presentation: Nasi Lemak on a pandan leaf! Authentic. Laksa dishes are in a traditional bowl. I guess the only defining factor about Mamak is the roti and the late closing hours. SEATING: More of a casual place, so there is an option to share your table or share with others. So its great for those who just want food but don't want to take-away (less waste in landfills!) read more

Want some hawker style Malaysian food? Look no further than Sedap. Found at Regent Place off George Street, Sedap offers tasty Malaysian food at super quick speed. Seriously, after we put in our order all our food came out within 5 minutes. The menu is pretty large, with the lunch and dinner menus being separate. You can get a wide range of seafood dishes, noodle dishes, vegetable dishes (with choice of sauce), and chicken/beef/pork dishes. We ordered the roast chicken, water spinach, and hokkien style pork belly. The first two dishes were really good, the pork belly wasn't that good...probably wouldn't order that one again. The menu is pretty different to Mamak, which I'm actually not a big fan of (outside of their roti) and I vastly prefer this menu to theirs. The food was great, prices reasonable for a group, as it came out to $17pp. It's not really cheap and cheerful if you're eating solo but it isn't expensive either. I'll definitely be back. read more

I also read the reviews and got a Yelp email with Sedap as one if the top Malaysian restaurants in Sydney. How they were wrong:( We were 3 mins late and they had already called me twice as we were late for our reservation. They rushed us to get in and out right from the start! We were taken to our table and basically thrown our menus and she was gone again. We had to try and get somebody's attention to get a drink. She was giving everyone water (plastic cups) and threw half a cup of water over me and my phone because she was rushing around so much. We ordered our food and within a couple of minutes our bill arrived. No food....just ordered...... and the bill arrives. This place is so small it's ridiculous! Our food arrived quickly and for the price it was great value. The squid was the only thing we had that wasn't very nice at all. If you want a quick bite for lunch while your at work it's a good little place. If you want to go out for dinner with some friends and enjoy good food and wine (no alcohol allowed) this place is not for you. We were so disappointed in this place:( There are better places in Sydney to enjoy great Malaysian food I suggest you try them!!! read more

I ordered Kon lon mee with steamed dumplings and it arrived with a huge bowl of dumplings... Talk about value for money at $13! The wontons were yummy, but they overcooked my noodles a tad too much. It wasn't al dente At $5.50 their roti chanai was really yum and good value for money. read more

This place is a little over hyped. Food is ok but I've had much better. It does offer good value though, portions are generous for the price. It's located in the Regent Place and there isn't much of a queue any more. The roti and laksa are your best bet. read more

Sedap - Chicken laksa - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Being school holidays, the family popped in to town to check out the Powerhouse and have a rare meal in the city. I met up with them after work and we ended up here. Service was...ok. It was crowded and they were busy and it took a long time to find us a table, but find one they did and then helpfully moved us to a larger one when one became available. The food though, that was good. The portions are very generous. i was the only one to be able to finish. Everyone else couldn't manage. Being a garbage guts, I finished theirs as well so I got to try the noodles I had ordered, plus my daughter's Nasi Lemak (which was fantastic) plus my wife's Wad Tan Hor. Plus we had to get a Roti with curry sauce (nice Roti.. not the best I have had but certainly up there). Good food. Reasonably priced. I'll put up with a bit of a wait for a table for that. read more

A small restaurant. Small tables. Not a great place for kids. Generally busy. No hand wash available. Don't be offended if you get the bill before you get the food. Dining plates are not so convenient.. So be careful not to spill on your dress. Usually we order curry chicken with coconut rice. The taste is not always the same.. Some times tasty. Sometimes not half cooked.. Too much oily though. Garlic chicken rice is one of my favourites here. Ultraman prawns deep fried are good. it is available in dinner menu. However you may order it at the counter.. Roti canai is nothing when compared to that in mamak. Also no variety of dips with roti. Tried some other dishes.. Not great enough to write about. read more

I had squid nasi Lemak, char kwey teow and plain nan for dinner. I love the mix of both crunchy outside and moist inside of the nan. It's the first time, I have tasted a nan like this. Delicious! Squid nasi Lemak is very authentic and fragrant. I wish they put more rice and anchovy. I love them but there are not enough in a portion. I don't really like the taste of char kwey teow. Maybe it's just my personal taste. I really miss the taste in Singapore. It's slightly different. Overall, I love this place and will come back for more. It will be the place I will come regularly if it's a bit cheaper with a bigger portion. read more

Sedap - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Just had my dinner here, I have to say its very hard for a Malaysian in Sydney to give a neutral comment. We all know it tastes better in our home country. But, it didn't disappoint me entirely. I have to say it has the authenticity of Malaysian food here. I'm glad they didn't tweak the taste to cater to the local market. Had the Assam Laksa, it was good! Was here for this and knowing all the Malaysian restaurant wannabes layin' around. This was not bad. Tried my friend's Char Kuey Teow felt that it was a little tasteless. Shared a plate of Curry Chicken which surprised me the most!! All in all, try it out! No disappointments! read more

Sedap - The best way to feel at home for a Malaysian here in Sydney :) - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

This was one of my favourite restaurants until today. I've been here six times (have the Dukedom title) and sampled the Stir fried noodle dishes such as Char Kway Teow, Mee Goreng and Mee Hoon Goreng Kampong. These meals are always well portioned, delicious meals. "Let's try something different . . I've never tried the Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak at this place." Don't bother - it was the worst Beef Rendang I have ever tried to eat! I began eating a piece of beef and had to send the whole meal back to the kitchen because all the beef was inedible and made up of just sinew and fat. I have never been served such terrible portions. The waitress wanted to give me a replacement. I declined and ordered a Curry Chicken Nasi Lemak instead. It came out with only four tiny chicken leg pieces! Not good value for $12.00. What's wrong with this chain? The Eastgardens store is similar in food quality and now this one. The previous reviews on this page support the fact that this place is going downhill fast in food quality and service. Sorry I won't be coming back! read more

Tasty and quick, but gets surprisingly expensive quickly. A comprehensive selection of Malaysian street food, including desserts and drinks. Milo dinosaur? Check. Teh tarik - hot or cold - check. The cold teh tarik had run out when I ordered, but the hot teh was refreshing all the same. I ordered sambal kangkong - spicy and pungent, with crispy fresh greens. Fantastic start. The crispy duck was a little bland, and not all that crispy. Bony, but fun, busy eating. Plenty of it though! I ordered the roti kaya for dessert. Just the right amount of kaya filling (too much can be too rich) and with a dipping bowl of sweetened condensed milk On the side, I was happy. Good place if out in the Town Hall area at night. read more

Sedap - Hainese Chicken - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

I'm from Malaysia and the food here is pretty authentic. I love the char kuey tiow (fried noodle with eggs) here. I reckon they're the best I've had in Sydney. The teh Tarik tends to be really sweet so make sure you ask for less sweet version when you order (you can always add sugar later) Whilst I couldn't convince myself to buy a roti (these things are around $0.40 each in Malaysia and they're selling it for $6.90!), I was pretty impressed with the dude behind the counter doing fancy tricks with the roti dough. He was throwing it up like a flying saucer and catching it with one finger. I think he probably works as a bartender after hours, judging from how much he likes the attention. read more

Short for SErvice DisAPpointing. I too read the reviews, from trusty stalwarts, sadly my experience here wasn't good. Two of us arrived and from the get-go I could tell this was going to be a bit of a shambles. 2 different people attended to us with menus/seating, and we were never informed that you had to order at the counter, you are just supposed to figure that out by yourself. I overheard another table asking when they would be served only to be told that they had to do it themselves... Ohhhhkayyyy, so the 3 of you standing around doing nothing can't service the 6 people in your "restaurant". That explains *why* there is only 6 people at lunchtime. The food was "ok". I had the Nasi Lemak. Some of it I liked, some I didn't. What I didn't like was that I was served before my companion, and the wait between the two meals coming out was disjointed. He told me to start and I was finishing as he received his meal. He had the Hainanese Chicken. It was mostly skin. It didn't look appetising and he left most of it. This place lacks the attention to detail, service and quality of nearby establishments. Seriously, I can go just about anywhere else and get better service of better food at a better price. I can throw a dart out a window and hit a better restaurant. It's not a 1, because the food is edible and some of it tasty. It's not a 3 because although it's ok, I feel like I would never return here. So it's worthy of a 2. Sorry - This one just did not live up to the hype. And it makes me sads all day long :( read more

Sedap straight and pay attention. I was still feeling sub par after Saturday night and I've just had shots for dyptheria, flu, tetanus, Hep A, shortsightedness, dandruff, and what ever else was in that needle that was the size of a horses leg. I needs me a tonic, a fillip, a little something to pep me up thats not delivered by needle and won't get me hauled before ASADA....somethings nagging at whats left of my brain ... ASADA... AKSADA... LASADA... LASKADA... LAKSA ! Barry T has put up a review of his fav Malaysian place and, if he says its good, then its good. He did the Yelp '100 reviews in 100 days' thing and knocked it over in three weeks. I have just been told by Dr Horsesleg to avoid hawker food and anywhere I see flies or he'll have to give me a Cholera shot, but the Sedap idea has taken root and it would be unwise to get between me and an enamel tin plate of Grandma Laksa. Theres no flies here, they're all down the road at Lord of the ...never mind. I feel much better now! Thanks Dr Barry read more

Sedap - Chook Laksa - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

No crowds & no lines & the food is better than Mamak's! It was on Sunday though & they only opened George St a month ago (i.e. Oct 2013) so many not many patrons are aware of this little space yet.... Dinning is very casual, small area - so wouldn't recommend more than 6 in a group. Servings are a very decent size & prices around $25 mark. For 4 adults - 2 entrees & 3 mains was too much food! Highly recommend the beef rendang (Mamak's is too sweet) & the prawns in beans (?) - there's some combinations that I haven't heard of (e.g. ribs with coffee or Horlicks....hmmm). But hey - I'd give it a go - "Just Because!" :D read more

After reading so many great reviews I guess I had high hopes for Sedap. Unfortunately my imagined experience was far more exciting and tasty and came with lashings of great service and a relaxing environment. The reality was much different. The service I can only describe as woeful. We got seated with menus and before our bums even touched the seats we were asked if we knew what we wanted. "Ermm, no, not quite!" A few minutes later we flaged someone own and ordered teh tarik "hot please". Cold teh got delivered and we had to set them straight. They whisked the tea away, along with our menus "umm, we haven't ordered food yet". Eventually we order food and while it arrived quickly, these weren't dishes that rocked my world. The Kangkung Sambal was good, the Squid Assam was average and the rice was the gluggy. read more

It seems they have recently changed their menu, but the old one was still posted by the door. The old one had a lot more options, so from the get go, I was already feeling a bit cheated by having only a small selection of food and drink to choose from. My husband ordered the chicken laksa while I had the migoreng, which I requested to be made mildly spicy. On his first sip of the soup, he said he liked the laksa, but after going through the bowl, he retracted his first statement and said that it was slightly lacking in flavour. My dish was just OK, the saving grace was that it had a considerable amount of prawn. I also ordered a cold teh tarik and this was a bit bland, as if it didn't have enough milk in it. One person in the table beside us told the person clearing their plates that his meal was really tasty and his companion nodded eagerly in agreement. Sadly, we didn't share the same sentiment as them. read more

I've been meaning to swing by Sedap since it opened. Given that I was immediately sat at one of about 8 empty seats on a Friday lunch, I'd say the hype around Sedap has died down. And from my experience, I'm not entirely sure why. I had the Roti Canai with Chicken Curry. The Roti was fantastic and looked nothing like the ones I've tried to make (a huge positive). I was a bit surprised that the chicken in the curry was made up of 4 drumettes as opposed to shredded hunks of meat/skin. I'm not big on bone-in chicken curries as the bone slows down the all too important eating process. Delays aside, the food was good once it got to my mouth. I was feeling adventurous so decided to order the KL Style Chee Cheong Fun. I had no idea what it was. If I had looked it up I probably wouldn't have ordered it as I'm not a fan of wide rice noodles in sauce. (Its a texture thing. I'm a texture eater.) But that would have spoiled the surprise, and it was only $5.50 for the dish. YOLO and such. Serves were a reasonable size. If I had finished both dishes I would have been way too full to grab dessert at Aqua S next door. read more

Hawker style places seem to be popping up all over Sydney. Hawker style food at non-hawker prices! Sedap is one of these places - serving up Malaysian dishes, with some staple favourites like mee goreng and laksa and roti and nasi lamak, and a rotating menu of snacks. We shared the chicken curry nasi lamak which was full of flavour and the mee goreng which was a little disappointing as it was a bit dry and lacked full flavours, although to be fair I had the nasi lamak first so my tastebuds were full of kick and craving more of the same from this dish. read more

This is a good, solid choice for Malaysian food, and my Malaysian table mates found this fairly authentic. They have a wide range of foods to choose from, and portions are a decent size for the price. Staff were friendly and willing to help. There is plenty of seating and toilets are available. The roti was a bit tough, but the curry chicken with it was delicious, and I found the beef rendang to be decent (but not the most tender I have had). This is a decent place to eat, and I would return again. read more

Just like eating in a night market in Malaysia. It is very busy but they found us a table and sat us down pretty quickly. Had to try and get someone's attention to order (the staff were out the front trying to get people in), however once we ordered the food was out quickly. The bill will come out as soon as they have entered your order. I had the Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang and we shared a Roti Canai. The food was delicious. Be warned this is Malaysian level of spiceyness, so it's quite warm especially the sambal. All in all great food. read more

Sydney's love affair with laksa has been going on for some time. As with any longstanding relationship, the dish that once had hearts racing and mouths watering can begin to lose its allure, especially when every Tom, Dick and Hari starts offering it. So it was exciting to discover Sedap's laksa, which has the best broth I have tasted in many a day, coconut and spice and all things nice. They also do a good version of that new kid on the malay street food block, roti canai, light and fluffy and perfect for dipping into the accompanying curry sauce. Sedap is not for lingering - the wooden stools make sure of that - but its hawker style and busy vibe make it a fun experience while it lasts. Food: 4 Value: 3.5 Service: 3 Location: 4 Ambience: 3.5 read more

As this spot was full of locals enjoying Malaysian food, seemed like we should give it a try. Menu is as expected, and a well thumbed version of it was presented to us. If you are looking for anything flash, walk on by. Formica tables, plastic glasses and robust silverware are the order of the day. Nasi lemak for me with beef rendang - my favourite, and I was not disappointed, although the poppadum they served with it was a little soft. However the roti was amazing and from where I sat I could watch them being made by a very clever young lady. The beef was tasty, lil crunchy fishies, peanuts, sambal and coconut rice yum! Milky coffee is one of the house specialities and I could see a guy spending his whole time making this - it is very popular with the locals, clearly. In and out in under 45 minutes I think - awesome! read more

Located close to Town Hall, Sedap offer a comprehensive selection of Malaysian street food. I ordered Char Kway Teow and Roti Curry Chicken which were both taste delicious and portion were generous for the price. The cold teh tarik was also quite refreshing. Service was great, but please ensure that you don't arrive close to their closing time as they were dusting/mopping the floor while we were still finishing our meal. read more

Had a good casual dinner here with a few friends. Service was quick and the food was reasonably priced and tasty.

Lately there seems to be heaps of Malaysian food stores popping up. There's Ipoh, Mamaks, Petaling and then there's sedap. The food here is quite good and I quite enjoyed the Nasi Lemak. Had a soya milk drink to go with it which was quite nice, but came with plenty of ice and hence not much drink. The prices for this place is similar to the other malaysian food stores and they also charge a holiday surcharge if you visit during a public holiday. The atmosphere at Sedap is quite cosy and I quite like the wall paper which makes you feel like you're in Malaysia. read more

Nice food, if not "knock your socks off". You can always get a table, and the staff are friendly. Roti plus a main would be more than enough for most people. An explanation of the beverages would have been helpful. read more

I've tried the dishes here and the only thing that attract customers are the fancy ways and uses of fancy "containers" in dishing out the dishes. The lo-men are just normal dry-stirred up noodles but at least their taste are acceptable but the toppings, I won't say anything special for the price paid. As for the Penang Assam Laksa, I definitely won't rate it more then 2 stars. It's too sweet, not spicy and I don't taste the required herbs used for Nyonya Penang Assam Laksa. The fishy taste linkers in my month for a long time after I've had it. Noodle and soup are just not hot enough. I just don't understand the tastebuds of Barry T and Andrew O. I really love Assam Laksa and to be frank I felt ashamed of such an Assam Laksa served there. read more

OK, I live in the city and I have been around to many Malaysian restaurants in the CBD. Let me be the first to say that I am Malaysian from Penang and will put my neck out to say that I have tasted the best Assam Laksa here in Sydney ...
