You simply HAVE to try their signature crispy buns. Crispy on the outside, fluffy and buttery on the inside, once you try one you'll definitely want to go back for another! They only cost $2.50, which is pretty decent for a quick snack.

They also have a wide variety of sweet drinks - recommendations include the mango frappe and Malaysian iced milk tea. They serve pretty good coffee too (both hot and iced), and the staff are really friendly. A good place to visit for anyone wanting to satisfy their sweet tooth.

Green tea lovers should definitely check this place out. They serve all sorts of matcha-based drinks and desserts, as well as hot dogs which taste really good. Recommendations include the creamy shrimp croquette dog, spicy meat lovers dog, and the matcha float. Their green tea ice cream (also comes in the float!) is one of the best I've tasted in Sydney. A great place to chat with friends while indulging your inner matcha-phile. The prices aren't cheap, but overall definitely a place I would like to visit often.

I have mixed feelings for this place. Some of their dishes are actually pretty good, especially their crispy chicken and pad siew, but prices are a bit on the high side - about $13 on average for a mediocre portion. And I find that the quality of the food lacks consistency - they tend to come out tasting a bit bland when they get really packed and busy. Not a place I would frequent, but worth visiting once in a while.

One of my personal favourites. Arguably the best place to get charcoal chicken in Sydney. The chicken is cooked to perfection - crispy, smoky on the outside and yet moist and tender on the inside. You can even smell them all the way from the train station!

It also comes with Lebanese bread, pickles, and most importantly - their famous garlic sauce, which is to die for. Their fries are pretty good as well, and their other dishes aren't too shabby either - definitely give their kebabs a try.

The service is good and you'll definitely get your money's worth here - you shouldn't be spending more than $10-$15 while getting absolutely stuffed. Bring a group of friends for maximum value!

The pros:

They have a wide variety of ramen choices. Be sure to try those on the "secret" menu as well (written on the walls in Japanese) - the ramen with fish-based broth is one of my favourites. Another recommendation would be the "special" ramen, which has a broth-base of both chicken and pork. General food quality is good, and prices are pretty much what you'd expect from a ramen store, nothing's too pricey or cheap.

The cons:

The restaurant is rather small and it can get a little cramped especially during peak hours. You might find yourself sharing a small table with strangers a little more often than you would like. And be prepared to queue for a good 20-30 minutes on average - at times close to a dumpster which might just kill your appetite.

Overall, definitely a must-try for ramen lovers.

I usually go here to take-away their wood-fire pizzas, which taste pretty good. They aren't too pricey (about $16 for a generously-sized pizza) and they have a wide selection of them. Good for sharing.

They also have an "all-you-can-eat" pasta and pizza night every Monday. For $20, you get a free drink and more importantly, a free flow of various pizza slices and pasta. The pizzas are the same ones mentioned earlier, and the pastas are absolutely delicious.

Definitely worth checking out.

They offer a great selection of food, including burgers, pancakes and pasta. Their burgers are delicious, and if you're up for a challenge, you can try the Double Whammy burger - a burger that contains two 200g beef patties among other condiments.

Their pasta is pretty good too - I'd personally recommend their Red Pesto Penne Pollo. I also have a soft spot for their potato wedges (served with sweet chilli and sour cream). If you just want to drop by to have a small snack, definitely try out that one. Also try out their milkshakes if you get the chance, although expensive, they taste heavenly.

The food is quite expensive though, so treat this place as an indulgence. If you ask me, the prices are definitely worth what you get on your plate. Would recommend it to a friend.

Approximate cost: $15-$25

Really not a fan of this place. The food is pretty mediocre with a few exceptions (the laksa and duck fried rice come to mind, and they aren't that great either), and the prices are way too high for the portions and quality of their food. You actually need to collect your orders yourself as well, and considering this is an actual restaurant instead of a stall in some food court, I consider this bad service. Wouldn't recommend it to most people.

Approximate cost: $15

Offers a large variety of modern Hong Kong dishes. The food is pretty good and also reasonably priced for its quality. I'd recommend most of the cheese baked rice dishes they offer, especially the Milanese Combination, which consists of chicken, sausages, ham and ox tongue. A friend of mine had the Combination Laksa, which also tasted excellent.

The service isn't that good however - wait staff was pretty rude and my order took quite some time to arrive. But overall, a place worth visiting if you're willing to look past that small flaw.

Approximate cost: $12

They have a large menu consisting of many different types of Asian food, but unfortunately most of them taste pretty bland and unimpressive. The only reason I go back occasionally is to have two of their dishes - the Indonesian Fried Rice and Combination Omelette Fried Rice. They actually taste surprisingly good, but even these two dishes occasionally fluctuate in quality. Prices aren't that expensive, but you can probably get better food for the same price elsewhere in Macquarie Centre.

Approximate cost: $12
