Modern fusion food between Thailand and Western. The taste I don’t get used to it, but it was a good try. The food quality doesn’t equivalent with the price tho. Pretty pricey for these dishes. The atmosphere is pretty much for the youth since the music is pretty loud at the background. The space is spacious, you can even hold a party in the basement. There are vegetarian options, and you can also request for vegetarian or any diet allergies. Service is great, the waitresses are very competent

Loved this restaurant! We had been meaning to try this restaurant on previous trips to Sydney and thankfully it was possible this time. We arrived without a reservation but that was no issue for the team here. They offered us a couple of options and we happily chose to sit at the bar. After reviewing all the dishes on offer (and wishing we could try them all!) we decided on the Prawn & Scallop Toast (from the specials), Crispy Duck Pancakes, Caramelised Sticky Pork and the Whole Baby Cauliflower. The food came out quickly but thankfully it was superbly staggered. And the dishes themselves were absolutely delicious and presented beautifully! All were amazing but probably the stand outs were the Duck Pancakes and the Baby Cauliflower. This place was extremely busy, which surprised us considering it was only a Thursday night. The space has been utilised perfectly with the kitchen and bar wrapping around the building which is set on a corner block. The service was great and hats off to the kitchen, serving well presented dishes that tasted so amazing during such a busy service. Will definitely be including it in our itinerary when we next visit Sydney!

Lively & Funky atmosphere that's great for catching up with friends, but the food and experience were disappointing. The tables are crammed too closely together, with little personal space. We were initially seated in a tight corner where we could barely hear each other, happy that the waitress kindly moved us to a slightly bigger table, but still too close to the next couple, making it feel like a double date! The food was a real letdown. The beef massaman curry was tough and nearly impossible to eat, and the desserts were equally underwhelming. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

The food is meant to be Asian fusion, but I find the flavors to be too heavy handed. A basic dish like morning glory should be simple to cook, but the amount of white pepper was too much. The curry beef dish was a bit sour, just not quite on point. I tried the The Classic set menu. The portions are generous, enough for two people. The appetizers like the corn fritter and the pork taco were decent. The main dishes were so-so. The dish with the beef and fish had too much fish sauce. The server seemed to be slightly pushy in terms of selling me drinks, asking me probably three times. Also, he definitely pushed me to get the set menu, instead of single dishes. I told him multiple times - no spicy. The dishes were quite spicy still. I returned one of them. The atmosphere is like a loud bar. I guess the exposed walls were intentional, but it’s exactly as they are - old concrete walls. Otherwise, it is a busy and vibrant place. This is a restaurant for Australians. I don’t see too many Asians coming here because the tastes are not authentic by any means. It was ok. The total came out to be $89. For the same amount of money, I would go somewhere else. It was a disappointment.

Chin Chin is a Modern South East Asian inspired restaurant. The flavours were amazing and we enjoyed every dish. However, the drinks/cocktails portions were very limited. Food came out quite quick considering how busy the restaurant was. A bit pricey but worth the splurge, so we’ll definitely come back for special occasions.
