Kunal MirchandaniFebruary 19, 2016An amazing new gem in Sydney's fast-growing crown of inspired Asian dining options.

Very nicely arranged, but a bit tricky to find our escape from. While eating my rendang, I noticed at least seven people struggle to find the exit...

Marisa HerroFebruary 17, 2019Find parking close by at Broadway or brave the back streets. Parking inspector’s are brutal even on weekends, get there early so you can group tables together (groups bigger than 3-4)Upvote2Downvote
Devran GüdücüDecember 24, 2016There is a nice atmosphere in Spice Alley. I also like BYO concept. Foods are really tasty and the prices are affordable👍🏼

Fantastic food, hidden away in Centra park. Mex Lee has an awesome Rendang curry with roti.

Mark Christopher MJanuary 17, 2016Hidden gem of hawker shops. Legit flavour and authenticity. Just like being in Malaysia, right down to the number call out system.UpvoteDownvote
Raluca BastucescuMay 25, 2016What a cute location and lots of food options! Only annoying this is they don't take cash so you need to purchase a gift card !!!
UpvoteDownvote- Karen Krishia CabarleSeptember 30, 2017Went here on a Monday and the place was empty. So many selections of food under different cuisines! Prices are affordable and the quality was A+!UpvoteDownvote
I have one suggestion: invest in a proper electronic ticket numbering system. It's very often very difficult to understand our hear the numbers that the staff are shoutingUpvoteDownvote
- Bodie SchultzMarch 13, 2017I love malaysian food and this place has excellent prices with great food, especially with Sydney's inflated costs.UpvoteDownvote
Ka Yi LingMay 2, 2018Traveled to Aussie and I find a food court just like I would in Singapore. Other than the price difference. Lol

Jackie FeiFebruary 20, 2018Great place for a casual meal. Don’t forget that you can BYOB!UpvoteDownvote
Pretty cheap and a cool little tucked away place. Annoying they don't take cash though.
UpvoteDownvote- Pad Thai at Bang Luck is brilliant! And the Teh Tarik from Uncle Jim's is delicious!UpvoteDownvote
It's mostly a 'No Cash' payment system which makes it quick service. Great food and atmosphere.UpvoteDownvote
Great ambiance! Come for the food only if you're craving for some Malaysian food.UpvoteDownvote
Meg DubeApril 13, 2016Buy your drinks at the first stall when you come in as most of the food stalls don't serve beverages.UpvoteDownvote
Nick FongDecember 9, 2015Lots of seating while remaining cosy due to the layout. Prices are student-friendly but portions seem small.UpvoteDownvote
Toby CornwellJune 10, 2016Thai food is great value from here :) nice atmosphere with all the different styles/types of street food.Upvote1Downvote1
Valarie TayOctober 26, 2016The Singaporean/Malaysian food here is a joke! Uncooked noodles and "soups" saltier than sea water. Staff tells me salty soup is what it's supposed to taste like. Absolute waste of money and calories.
