Great atmosphere, great food, great place! Once you understand how it all works (no cash, different stalls etc) its a fantastic place for trying an array of really good food. We loved it so much, we returned the following day for a late and much quieter lunch. It gets busy but thats part of its charm, a must do!
Wonderful Asian food court, great atmosphere and tasty (and of course spicy) Asian food. Cheaper than I expected (around 13 $ for a main course). Would love to have a place like this in Milan too �
As to drinks, it is a BYO, therefore you have to bring your own alchoolic drink, if you wish.
Overall, great informal place.
I was hungry, starving and can’t wait to eat! Working all day and it had made me this hungry! But I didn’t know what to get. Especially being in the middle of city with plenty of restaurants around. It was difficult to decide what to eat for dinner. I knew I wanted something warm; since it has been raining the past day!
Then I remembered that I walked past this restaurant before; but haven’t tried any of their dishes. So finally I decided to order a warm bowl of ramen!! And you have no idea —- the most satisfying bowl of ramen I ever had in months! Definitely rated it a 10/10! And in case you’re wondering, it was the Vege Ramen!!! The soup was so delicious that I sip on the soup until the bowl was empty.
The soup didn’t need any extra seasoning, salt, soy sauce or chilli, it was just perfect on its own!!!!!!
Had the pleasure of trying out the Spicy Fried Chicken Ramen and it was quite surprising just how good it was. The broth was amazingly hearty and wholesome, the fried chicken was not only crispy but tasted amazing. Overall a great dish and would love to try a few of the other dishes.
I tried this on a whim without reading any reviews. I got the regular tonkotsu and I was blown away by the quality! Loved it. Then I read all of these reviews saying how awful this place was and I was quite surprised. I read somewhere there was a recent management change. That may be why I had a good experience when I went 2 months ago for the first time, compared to older reviewers.
Kyo-to seems to have changed a bit - they've got some exciting new stuff including a bar! I've tried the fried rice, clam udon and a few skewers- really delicious.. The environment is also really cool with old school posters all over the walls - a nice new addition to Spice Alley.
We were really happy with the vegetarian udon bowl that we ordered, with a hearty soup, tasty udon noodles and crispy and tasty tempura. Service was a bit slow here, and it took some time to get our food, but nonetheless we really enjoyed it. Definitely bang for your buck considering the large serving size! Im keen on having a go at the Ramen next time!
Okonami is the best in Sydney, love it to bits. Sauce is right, mix ingredients are right. Reminds me of my adventures in Japan. HIROSHIMA specifically.
Yaki Dori also very good. Chicken skin so crispy. :)
Disappointment for me was Miso Ramen, way to salty... Ramen was good though.
Located in Spice Alley, this place offers pretty tasty food for a cheap price. Their miso ramen is pretty strong and salty but thats how i like my ramen so if you do too then you'll definitely enjoy it. Their takoyaki is pretty nice too
Actually the best ramen I've ever eaten although I've only been there once but it'll probably become my everyday lunch spot once I start university
Very convenient location and instagram worthy alley
I bought something which was supposed to be spicy I can't remember what it's called...but it wasn't really spicy even though I added a lot of their spice into it
Also the first time I ever finished all the soup for a ramen
Reasonable priced ramen and food in general. They have their own little place to sit for their own customers. The ramen I had was meant to be spicy but it wasn't much spicy it was more mild.
Good food, we had the ramen and the chicken teriyaki don. The teriyaki was very tasty but the ramen lacked flavour. Long wait, but it was Saturday 7pm so we understand :-)
Great fun, this hidden street is all about the atmosphere and the feeling of Asian Street food. It's great fun for something different. The food is a teeny bit expensive and the food was ok, it was certainly decent with drinks being super expensive but not complaining, I would definitely visit again, keen to try out all of the different cuisines. Definitely worth a visit
Our son took us to Spice Alley today. We went at 12 on a Wednesday in July, and it was quiet so easy to walk round and look at all the varied and mouth watering choices. We went to Alex Lee and had the crispy chicken with noodles and a spicy coconut sauce that was amazing. It tasted like a family dish my grandmother used to make from Burma. I would highly recommend a trip to this gem of a place in Sydney
How good is this place?! Asian street food vibes all the way. We had fun exploring the different vendors. Seating can be a problem and at peak times you wait. But well worth it
Spice Alley is a great hide away in the back streets of Chippendale. Cleverly created eatery contains a whole street of restaurant/street food vendors from a variety of different cuisines including Japanese, Singaporean, Chinese, Indian and Malaysian (& others). You can grab your food from any vendor and find a table somewhere along the street meaning if you go with others, you can all choose to eat from the different cuisines available but all sit together to enjoy!
I accidentally stumbled upon this place, and now I come back everyday.
In truth I was looking for a place that was open for an early lunch (before 11am) and google kept trying to send me here.
In retrospect there are big signs in front of the alleyways that lead to Spice Alley. In my defense, some of the alley ways are less than half a metre wide.
Spice Alley consists of multiple spice / Asian / fusion restaurants. There are not many asian influenced cuisines one cannot find here.
All restaurants are competitively priced and really could not exist in here for long if they were not at the top of their game in sourcing produce, cheffing and delivery.
I absolutely loved the melting pot of restaurants and people here. The atmosphere was fantastic lunch through dinner.
This is a must visit Sydney experience!
Out and about with a break in the weather, been a while since my partner and I had Asian food so headed out to Spice Alley in Sydney. Lot of vendors to choose from, food options clearly displayed and priced. Value for money and delicious. Drink bar available as well. This is a top spot for a mix of different foods.
Spice Alley is more about the quirky outdoor experience rather than the food.
I’s been designed to be a surprise; tucked away and hidden from the public view; clever and enticing. Satisfies those of us who miss the raw Asian street food culture.
