Hidden inside a building shared with Australia Post I would have never expected to find a decent Asian eatery here with breakfast specials signage of coffee, toast and bacon and egg rolls. The look of this place is a bit old school cafe with plenty of seating for dine ins. A plethora of ad hoc tacky menu signage greets you at the service counter. Boss Lady keeps the ordering efficient and kitchen in check. Once given your order number raffle ticket you can take seat and they'll bring and serve your dish when ready. Apparently they've been around for 9 years and it's the first time I've really noticed this place after working in the city for more than 20 years. I go for the Egg noodle soup with crispy chicken ($13). The chicken has a decent crispy skin as hoped and the meat is fairly moist but I have had better. The piping hot soup is very flavoursome with a good amount of al dente egg noodles. The dipping sauce is more mild in heat than you'd expect from the fiery red presentation. It's a decent feed from an unexpected cafe that has Australian, Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese on the menu along with sandwiches, burgers, fresh juices, chicken schnitzel, grilled fish and even a Lebanese wrap and Beef Stroganoff. I do wonder if they do a decent job of the Vittoria Coffee they're serving up. Another time perhaps with that bacon and egg roll breakfast special for $5 or $6.80 with a coffee, I'm curious and tempted.
Cheap and cheerful. As others have said, Alpha Gourmet isn't gourmet, but it's fantastic value for a quick breakfast. $11 for a "big breakfast" which is 2 slices of bread, fried or scrambled eggs, half a tomato, 4 slices of bacon, mushrooms, a hash brown and a hot drink is a bargain and it was more food than either of us could eat. Admittedly it was all of average quality and a little oily, but The steady stream of local office workers coming in for cheap food is testament to its value.
Great quality food, quick and friendly service and awesome value for money :)
Nice place to have lunch or breakfast. Quite close to Circular Quay. The portions are huge so be mindful of your hunger before ordering.
Food was good and the staff was friendly. However, if they worked on the interior of the cafe, it would really sell. With the current setup it doesn’t look upmarket and looks rundown.
Quick service. The meal’s portion is quite generous. Make sure you come quite hungry! You’ll be surprised how much you can eat 😉
Great Vietnamese cafe next to Marriott Hotel, steps away from Circular Quay. Huge portion and reasonable price. Chicken pho is special with crispy fried chicken on the side and boiled chicken breast in the noodle soup. Pork chop on rice is special, especially the rice has a special flavor that opens your appetite. The ice coffee is strong, mix with condensed milk, make it extra smooth and hide away the bitterness.
I stumbled across this place by accident, so glad I did, fast and friendly service, cheap prices, and the meal portions are huge, you won't be disappointed. I have gone there once a week since I discovered it. Opens very early but closes at 4 pm.
My partner and I had just landed in Sydney and were looking for a place to eat as we were starving. We wandered around the city and stopped at Alpha Gourmet Cafe as there was variety on their menu - both Western and Asian options available. The price is unbeatable; each main dish we ordered was large in quantity and we were both left very satisfied. Not to mention, the hospitality of everyone working that day was impeccable. Everyone was enthusiastic, made great conversation with us and provided excellent service. They even welcomed us back for breakfast before our flight back to Melbourne! We will definitely be visiting Alpha Gourmet Cafe again when we come back to Sydney next time. 5 stars for the lovely, hard-working staff!
This place is a gem! The menu is a variety of Australian Cafe items but the main surprise is their extensive authentic Vietnamese menu.
Serving portions are very generous and very reasonable price especially being near Circular Quay.
To top it off, the customer service is very friendly. One of the staff (I presume he might be the manager) even dropped by our table at the end of our meal out of courtesy to check how everything was as he noticed it was our first visit to this establishment.
Good basic breakfast food at a great price. Value for money.
Good mix of Vietnamese Chinese. They even do schnitzel kebabs. The beef pho is quite good, plenty of condements plus bean sprouts and basil. I just wish they had the big spoons, drinking the soup with a table spoon is tedious.
