As an avid fan of Taiwanese desserts, this place is heaven to me! With so many choices and reasonable price, it is no wonder I visit the place pretty often. Try not to get the bean curd though because they can be quite watery and tasteless at times. One dessert that will never go wrong is anything with the taro balls series. Their bubble teas are also pretty good and it is a good place to chill with your friends after class or shopping. Awesome!

I have always loved Taiwanese desserts and when I found out about ZenQ I was so excited I tried it during the first few days of its opening. After visiting the shop various times I have came to the conclusion that the ONLY dessert worth ordering is their bestseller - the taro ball with grass jelly. The taro balls are not as chewy as Meet Fresh in Chinatown but the grass jelly was really smooth. Other series especially the sago series were quite bad. The red bean series is usually quite bland so if you'd like to have your money's worth, get the taro balls with grass jelly. On a side note the prices of their desserts are slightly more expensive than Meet Fresh hence Meet Fresh is a much better choice for Taiwanese desserts in my opinion

really good restaurant I would say! Love their ox tail soup and duck curry and gravy noodles. They may not be authentic Thai dishes I am not sure (?) but the taste is so flavorful and the price is very reasonable which makes me want to try their other dishes on the menu! A definite must try

The service staff is very friendly and are always smiling. The restaurant is pretty big and can fit 13 of us comfortably in one big table. Food : the stars of the night were actually the entrees - sesame prawn toast and spring roll. The mains are just the average Chinese food. The best main of the night was the chicken cooked in Shandong sauce. Overall the dishes are on the saltier side so it's probably a good idea to tell the wait staff to inform the cook if you do not want your food to be salty

Love their roast pork and roast duck! Their fats and lean meat are wonderfully proportioned and the skin is roasted to a perfect crisp. There is also free soup even when you dine alone and the soup is no mere bland boiling water with added MSG. They actually boil the bones and vegetables to produce a very flavorful soup. Portions are enormous for me which is to the liking of my big appetite friends. The service is the usual Asian style service - poker face waiting staff - but the food is too good not to try.

Bought a really cute sweater at the store but the service I received was terrible. Probably it was pretty late in the evening around 4+ the shop is about to close that the store assistant appears to be unfriendly and impatient. However, the quality of the clothing here are worth every penny spent and there are always discounts every week or fortnight so I suggest to visit the store as often as you can to grab that pretty dress off the hook!

I absolutely adore this place! Certainly the best fusion restaurant that I have tried in Sydney. The service is awesome, food quality is top-notch, price is affordable and the ambience is really soothing! One MUST TRY the egg noodles, sweet&sour lamb ribs, the baby chicken and their desserts! Do not get the fish though as the portion is minuscule. Tried all their desserts and loved the crunchy cereal one the most. One tiny complaint is that the location of the place seems a tad dodgy. Will certainly recommend this place to all my friends!

The food here is pretty good although the portion is not as big as expected. There were so many choices on the menu that my friends n I took quite some time trying to decide which dish to order. Finally we settled on beef rendang, hainanese chicken rice, kang kung, tomyum and laksa. The tomyum was too sour for my taste and the chicken rice just average. The rest were just so-so as well, not as good as hoped. Service was pretty bad and the place is quite cramped. Might not visit this place again

had the char kuey tiao - not very good as it is not as spicy or flavorful as i hoped, nasi lemak - the rice is definitely more fragrant than Mamak, although the sambal and beef is so-so, asam laksa - pretty good, sambal fish - VERY good value for money as it was only AUD14.80 for quite a big fish. the service is so so but as there is a wide variety of foods and they are not too pricey, i will definitely visit this restaurant sometime in the future!
