Chubby Cheek is a hidden gem in Paddington which serves Southeast Asian cuisine with a creative twist. The restaurant has a fairly simple interior with exposed brick walls, herringbone pavers and dark timber, which gives an intimate and exotic vibe. We had water chestnut dumpling, mushroom rice paper rolls, cauliflower yellow curry and black sticky rice. We like vegan and vegetarian food, and Chubby Cheeks does provide a lot of suitable options.
This place is great addition to paddington with a great atmosphere. It took a long time to get our mains and the couple beside us seemed to have the same problem but this could just be teething problems as it just opened.
Lots of vegan and veg options and it seems they can modify most of the menu to suit.
BYO is always a good addition
good wine menu too
Hidden gem! I didn't know what to expect as this place was not booked out on Friday night. I was blown away! Their food is SUCH GOOD VALUE. One of the best set menus we've ever had! We were so full after. (We added a fried ice cream dessert on top of out set menu and it was worth it hehe). The ambience was the same as a place that would charge at least $100 for a set menu. Actually it may be better - they had sound insulation so the voices from other customers all talking at the same time weren't deafening and I could talk with an inside voice and be heard. Food came out super quick as well. This is a must go if you like Thai / modern Asian food. Probably the best pork belly boa I've ever had as well - the cut of pork was cooked to perfect and such a big slice!
