Very very very satisfied with this meal!
The pork katsu sandwich was very delicious! (4.7/5) Crunchy outside and soft and thick inside! (Although I think it would taste better if the pork skin could be abit more crunchier and thicker?)
Soft shell crab burger (4.5/5)
This little gem is tucked away from the busy bustling city. Located in the middle of a seemingly residential area in Redfern, stood a cosy little cafe. What I love about most in this cafe was the ambiance alfresco. I like the fact that this place seem somewhat like a terrace house-made-into-cafe. There's a big bright green tree/plant shadowing the seats and tables. I like how the sun peaks thru it's leaves. It kinda gives a quiet, peaceful vibe. Their menu is quite extraordinary with a Japanese twist, particularly their Japanese classic omurice, it was very good! Although, sad to say the matcha french toast was a bit of a let down for me. It was a bit bland for me and was just not enjoyable to eat (althought very instagramable). I don't think I was able to finish the whole thing... Price is pretty decent, not expensive at all, and the staff were all nice, nothing really stood out for me but the ambiance and location, really. :)
Super nice and cosy cafe! The katsu sandwich was definitely a winner- crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, definitely recommend it. The omurice was quite interesting with egg on the outside and rice with a tomatoey sauce on the inside with ham and peas which actually worked quite well. Matcha lamington was a huge let down- rather bland and dry. Overall a nice cafe. Prices were very decent as well, not overpriced at all.
Now i understand why Cafe Oratnek is one of the best brunch destination in Sydney
From the start, absolutely love their booking system, just put your name and number and they send you a text when the table is ready, and you can also see how many table are ahead of you. We ordered all the signatures, the pork katsu was spot on, the ebi pasta is definitely our favorite, and the omurice is probably the best out of all the place i’ve had. I really love their take on traditional western dish with a twist of asian ingredients and flavor. And the matcha tiramisu is a home run, the cake itself is so moist, i love how the bitter of matcha powder combine with a fairly sweet cream. And the staffs was very lovely, would definitely come back another time 💖
Highlight of the cafe - Pork Katsu sandwich and Hayashi rice 🤤 Also pictured is the Ebi pasta and Berry Iced Tea. The sandwich was so good I wish I ordered x2 of them and the Hayashi rice was something I've never tried before, but so glad I did 👏🏼
This is a COVID-19 takeaway review. Really enjoyed the mentaiko pasta. Pork katsu sandwich was also yum. Didn't like the beef rice as much but overall a great meal. Would recommend and keen to go back.
A different choice from your regular / standard cafe. Some unusual items but you just need to give the banana chips a go.
Love this Japanese fusion cafe! All the foods are so on point. The omurice is a must try which is tomato fried rice wrapped in a fluffy omelette. Their pork katsu bread is juicy and the bread is soft. Seafood pasta is delicious as well that you wouldn’t get enough of it. Their wagyu is so tender and well cooked with the sauce. I will definitely come back again during my next visit in Sydney.
The desserts here are very nice! And I love the atmosphere around here, very friendly and peaceful!
Excellent customer service !! Must try Matcha Lamington - moist and lots of coconut flavour xx
