Reviews The Burwood Hotel

The Burwood Hotel is great for a great meal, drinks and chats. They have a few fan favourites which I would highly recommend. Their buffalo cauliflower is SO good and i've come back to the Burwood Hotel simply just to eat this. Their nuclear fire noodle fries are amazing and so addictive. There are two different spicy levels so it suits everyone. They have quite good cocktails and selection of beers/wines. Their burgers are cheap, tasty and filling.

Burwood Hotel was popping up on our Instagram daily so we had to check it out. I had ordered the steak with fries, salad and she had ordered the pork dumplings and we had to try iconic alcoholic bubble tea as well.  The food came out fast and was good, the only issue I had was with how dry the steak was but other than that everything else was great. We even happen to seating during a UFC main event so that was great vibe. Overall though the food is good, I would recommend checking it out.

There is actually some pretty good Asian food at this restaurant. My favourites were the nuclear fire noodle fries, which was actually quite addictive and not as spicy as the actual instant noodles, the bacon Mac and cheese nuggets and the chicken wings which were totally worth it at its price. We had the smoky BBQ sauce and it was pretty good.

On Monday’s, they also offer $1 pork soup dumplings or Xiao Long Bao which were not bad as well. The espresso boba milk tea was very strong and the pearls were quite hard so didn’t really like the combination. Do stay for dessert because the boba milk tea brûlée cheesecake was quite nice. Happy to come eat here again and perhaps next time I may be brave enough to try the extreme nuclear fire noodle fries.

A local bar combined with a restaurant! Somewhere you go in, sit and chill. Watch sports and races with mates! What I love about Burwood hotel is their new dish that just came out “THE CREME BRULEE with boba pearls”! The texture is nice and rich. Sweetness was just right! Not only that, if you’re a boba fan, they also have boba cocktails!!!! How cool is that??!? 💖💖💖

A great place for a casual drink and meal with friends. This place is very busy on a Friday night and it was hard to find a seat for two. We wanted to try the new nuclear fries advertised outside of the hotel. Very innovative and delicious! We were also pleasantly surprised with the fish and chips. However, the soy fried chicken was okay

Been here twice, a Friday and a Saturday night. Both times food and drinks were on point, a great place to head to for Xmas party or a catch up, new food and interior looks great!

Went to burwood hotel after a good 2 hours of tennis. The sangria looked very tempting and I'm glad we ordered it. It was one of the best sangria I've had. Also ordered the mac and cheese nuggets, which were very innovative and quite tasty. Fish and chips is standard but both were hot and crisp. Overall the ambience was great. There was some live music too which was again good. Definitely a place to visit!

+3 standard points for food
+1 sweet shoestrings!
-1 hotdog felt kinda bare-bones...
+1 except the deep fried sausage was super crisp!
+0 a satisfying staple steak
4 = would come back.

Overall: simple, but good. Solid non-asian option in Burwood.
Noise level: Loud. Expect to raise your voice.

Highlights:
Pretty sweet shoestrings! I liked that they kept the skin on, and most were super crispy! I have a soft spot for some soggy chips tho so the couple of floppy ones were satisfying (am I the only one tho thinks this?!? D:) As with the chips, the deep fried dog was amazingly satisfying to crunch into, and the sauces mean you just keep munching!

The steak was your standard fare. (I.e. delish! Amen to the great steaks of Australia. I was so satisfied) Salad was well seasoned but steak and chips a little under-seasoned. The mushroom sauce really needs some work.

Lowlights:
It was good as is, but I’d like to see something else in the dog (albeit deep fried, it was just sausage, sauce and bun). Maybe I’ll have to go back for another.

Total $36.00
It’s not cheap, but I also think it’s not much more expensive than what you’d expect to pay in Burwood / or for pubs in general? (Correct me if I’m wrong)

Great spot for Aussie pub food with an Asian twist! their burgers are excellent, however I am a little bit disappointed with their recent change from thick-cut chips to thin-cut ones.....oh well I know this is just my personal preference...regardless, still appreciate their food and drinks menu here, and the ambience is great for watching footy/World Cup. Happy to see their business picking up with their poster campaign seems to be successfully attracting a lot more customers!

Visit by invite.

We came here on a Saturday evening at 5pm. 

The incentive to come here were the 1kg portions of wings, ribs and drums for only $12 (ribs were only 1/2 kilo for the same price) - a bargain.

Despite the great price point, the flavours were okay. The chicken tasted like it could have been marinated longer or seasoned better, but really even if I was paying $12 for a kilo I would not have minded. The duck spring rolls didn't really taste like it had much duck in it, but they were still tasty. The best thing were the desserts, our pavlova was perfect, and the chocolate cake was a stunner.

Located in the heart of Burwood, it's hard to miss.

With the menu being so cheap, I'd recommend anything as long as you are aware of what your money is getting you. But definitely don't leave without trying those desserts.

In addition, the staff were very attentive and the manager was so lovely, almost too lovely for hospitality! :)

Thank you Burwood Hotel for the overall great evening.

According to the 2016 census, 45% of the population of Burwood, an inner-west suburb 10 kilometres from Sydney CBD, are of Chinese heritage, making it a good area for authentic regional Chinese food. But pub grub has also been revitalised after an extensive renovation of the Burwood Hotel, a stone’s throw from the train station. The revamped eating house on ground floor features a menu where, truly, East meets West.  Pub classics such as chicken schnitzels and burgers are joined by duck spring rolls and prawn dumplings.

Stumbled across this pace after shooting for mardi gras.
It was the only place open late at night and still serving food.
The service was really good and so was the food.
The wait time was rather quick and the prices were also quite good.
The only thing is there is a $10 minimum if you're paying by card so if you want to get a second drink refill you're better off ordering two drinks with your meal.
Other than that, it's a nice place to grab a bite as well as have a wander around the pokies if you're into that sort of thing.
Located on the main strip of Burwood so is easy to get to via public transport.

Only been the one time,it was good. Great service and decent price. Great location. I love Burwood. The atmosphere is nice and it brings in different sorts of people.

*Thank you Sophia from FCBA for hosting and inviting us to this lovely event. Special thanks to Burwood Hotel for having us. With a killer location smack bang in the centre of the fairway of travellers, lies the Burwood Hotel. It has been standing since 1923 and has since become a common watering hole for locals.

Pretty happy with this as our new local. Somewhere to come for a drink that has great pub food as well as upmarket Aussie cuisine in an area that is filled with Asian yummies.

Menus are on the table then you order near the entrance.

Food arrived quick enough after we got a couple of drinks.

The hot chips are delicious with the right amount of crispy oiliness. The wagyu burger was chunky in portion though wasn't as juicy as I was expecting but was ok.

Spicy Korean drumsticks were large in portions and enough of a spice kick and taste.

The pork belly baos are yummy and we will be back for them. The Shanghai dumplings aren't the ones filled with soup but just meat and was tasty.

The duck was well presented and ok. Not as much flavour as the others.

If you're a white wine drinker, I had the Delatite which matched nicely.
Husband had the whole Ginger and Lemongrass Mohito carafe to himself and barely tasted the alcohol.

REDISCOVER THE BURWOOD HOTEL:
Following the 6 month renovation and facelift of the bistro, gaming and bar entertainment areas, the new menu has been unveiled offering a smorgasbord of 'east meets west' choices to suit all palettes.

INTERIOR / AMBIENCE:
The environmentally friendly feature wall is a mosaic of old roof tiles offering visual texture and contrast within the seemingly unsuspecting charcoal tone. An art feature in itself, diners also have full view into the kitchen and can watch all the action as it takes place. The split level area leads down into the main bar area. Prominently displayed is a large brass bucket which once use to serve as a hotbed for metal castings adding a nice touch to the history and long established venue that has survived since the early 1920s. Live sports can be viewed on screen while the main staircase to the upper levels leads to the gaming area.

SERVICE:
A warmth in the service led by father and daughter team, Kylie and Peter ensures this new management team and venue reinterpretation to be a hit with the locals. Major urban residential developments and a growing diversity in the local taste has seen a nice evolution in their menu.

THE MENU
Modern Australian with streaks of Asian influence sees many of our classic pub favorites joined with the best of North Asian cuisine. From the Rib Eye, Rumps, Burgers to the bite size Baos and handmade dumplings, the versatility of the menu shapes itself to your visit. Family friendly, wide bistro spaces in the main dining area make it perfect for a quick easy meal out without fuss enjoying some premium quality cuts and exciting flavors.

Snacks / Share Plates:
Prawn Har Gau, Shanghai Pork Mince Dumplings are a staple in the local area and you can’t escape them here, but it is the SPICY CHICKEN BAO with pickled cabbage and samba aioli that that stands out. That is, until you have the PORK BELLY BAO! When having Korean, I’m quite predictable and so it’s quite refreshing figuratively and literally to sample the succulent meat with the crunch from the Cucumber Kim Chi and Chilli Peanuts! Absolute must.

Meaty Mains:
The signature BURWOOD BEEF BURGER is a nice celebration of the old classic beef, bacon, tasty cheese and trimmings that will never fail. The CHICKEN BURGER can be done grilled or fried - we had the latter. Beautiful contrast here with the guacamole VS the slaw and then the battle of chipotle VS housemade sweet chili aioli. Subtle tweaks that work! However, the STEAK SANDWICH has to be the winner hands down. Served on Turkish, the medium cooked eye fillet is allowed to dominate and showcase its rich flavors with accents of tasty cheese, tomato relish and onion jam for effect.

When blending modern Australian and Asian in a menu such as this, it’s easy to lose authenticity when estimating thresholds to accommodate a wide palette spectrum palette, but it was definitely not found in the KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. I love a bit of fire, so if you don’t, make sure to request this to taste. Beautifully sweet battered drumsticks are bathed in a fiery rich Korean sauce of chili, lime and peanuts. Definitely a mother standout.

Desserts are kept to theme with their chocolate fondant served with black sesame ice cream and creme brûlée given some kick with ginger ice cream and matching glazed garnish. Would love to tell you how they are but did not have the room for it, from what I could tell - there’s a lot of promise in these.

Having sampled the Angus beef rip eye and rump, it's clear to see that the team of Chefs know how to work their meat with both dishes also an excellent choice for a hearty meal.

The location of this entertainment hub makes it a perfect choice for locals and working commuters. An accommodating menu encapsulated with friendly staff and areas for seated dining, casual drinks and sports to suit all occasions.

The newly renovated Burwood hotel has kept the majority of their menu the same but tweaked it and added added a few extra.mains and light salads. I got the burger and a dessert. The burger was solid for a pub burger. Good crisp bacon and melted cheese. Good value too. Brulee was a little undercooked, but the coconut gelato was amazing!

Interesting meals on offer at, ranging from your staple burgers and steaks to an Asian inspired menu with ramen. The “popcorn chicken” bowl was really delicious and very worth the price. So much chicken! Would recommend it if you like karaage chicken or fried chicken in general. The lamb chops were very tender and well-cooked too. Seating could be better (and cleaner). Seeing as it is The Burwood Hotel, it is as expected for the dining.

I always eat here cuz the location is easy right across the train station and they have good food and pokies upstairs with free drinks and snacks. They got rid of the salmon don't know why but it's a pity cuz I used to order salmon all the time. Free water and toilets for the general public to use. Would recommend it.

Good vibes and good drinks but god damn please never order their ramen, i shouldn't be able to leave my chopsticks or spoon standing. They were under cooked, solid and tasted like straight dough, the broth straight up tastes like dish water mixed with 2 minute maggie noodles. Aside from that their drinks arent too bad, ill be back... not for the ramen though 🤣
