This restaurant is well hidden inside the Stockland Piccadilly Shopping Centre, unless you were looking for it, you may not see it. I do love the chicken rice at this place. Their rice has so much flavour from the broth it’s been cooked in. If you like chicken rice, you should try it. They also offer a wide selection of other meals.
Great crispy pork roll in CBD...freshly made every time! The more I keep going here the longer the lines!
Really nice Malaysian food. Tried the Bain Marie options and the food is full of flavour. Beef was succulent, lots of strong curry taste without being too chili. Will definitely need to try the cook to order food next time.
Ordered curry chicken for pick up via a menu ordering app. Having never been to Upperroom Restocafe before it was a little tricky to find as there isn’t much of a street presence, being located inside Wesley Mission. The takeaway was ready for pick up upon arrival and there was a generous amount of succulent chicken pieces in the curry. However, it didn’t come with rice!
I can't believe this place is not more packed at lunch during the week! The Chicken rice here is as good as anything I've eaten in Malaysia and Singapore, and actually better than nearby equivalents in the cbd. The chicken is thigh meat only but so succulent and that rice is just heavenly...
I've eaten here a few times now and each time everything have been delicious.
This venue offers a quite extensive menu. So many exciting dishes. On this particular visit the dish ordered was Nasi Lemak w/ Fried Chicken. It was delicious! Every single element was spot on and the sambal brought the dish to the next level.
Very good food, good service and nice environment. Definitely recommended. We are origin from Malaysia, is nice to find a Malaysian restaurant which serves authentic Malaysian food.
Such a quirky cafe, I would never have presumed that they would have Asian cuisine - very yummy Asian cuisine to boot. They have a counter facing the street with pastries, but an entire dining area behind it.
Got their Hainanese Chicken Rice (via MealPal) and it was SO GOOD! Both the rice and the chicken was packed with flavour and the portion size was quite generous.
My friend got their curry laksa which comes with a drink for $13. Apparently they only have chicken laksa. I tried a bit of his broth and thought it tasted pretty good, if a little bit spicy for my liking.
They serve various of food and all types of tastes. Rice, noodle, burgers, chips , snacks... For me, I like the hainanese chicken rice and the crispy spring rice the most. Will come back .
Finding this was a mission, if it weren't for someone's review stating that it was near Missions we would've walked around longer for sure. Food is nice, ordered from the breakfast menu and got more food than we bargained for. Waiting was around 30mins. Servers are nice and friendly.
Very spacious and relaxed setting. Ordered the smashed avocado with poached eggs, the eggs were cooked perfectly and very tasty. There was a side of grilled tomatoes which were unbelievable!!
Visited your cafe today for lunch; your coffee was beautiful with a rich taste n smooth in texture. It went perfectly with the raspberry & hazelnut log.
The food was also excellent too. Char kuay teoh, hainan chicken rice & beef rendang were all amazing. Extensive menu @ good prices for a city cafe with Malaysian food.

This cafe is a relaxing spot for lunch in the city with a large selection of meals including many Asian dishes. For something different try the ice Bandung a Malaysian drink with condensed milk that almost tastes like a lollie! The Curry Laksa with chicken was amazing value at $12.80 and extremely filling! Likewise the Nasi Lemak with beef rendang, coconut rice and accompaniments was a generous serving for only $13.80. With daily specials this cafe should be on your regular list for a city lunch!
If you’re looking for authentic Malaysian cuisine in the heart of the city, Upperroom Restocafe is the place to be! They have an amazing selection of noodle, rice and curry dishes that cater to all types of tastes, and even have a selection of Aussie favourite like burgers and chips as well. On our visit we had two amazing dishes – the Hainanese Chicken Rice and the Upperroom Char Kway Teow.
Sambal barramundi fillets with piping hot steamed rice hits the spot. The Pattaya Fried Rice special on Fridays was yummy too. A lovely spot in the CBD for Malaysian food.
Upperroom Resto Cafe is tucked away at the front of Wesley Mission on Pitt Street in the Sydney CBD. It’s easy to miss — you’ve probably walked past it a lot (I have!), but when you’ve been once you’ll be back. They have a café at the front when you enter, if you walk down further you’ll see the restaurant at the back with more seating.
I've been here a few times and just revisting to retry the Hainanese Chicken Rice ($13.80). It's still good as I remember with tender moist chicken. The chilli sauce is improved as well and very tasty with noticeable chilli kick. The side soup tasty. Tomato pieces perhaps cut a bit too chunky for my liking and I'm not a fan of receiving the end bits which I got this time. Still a Simon Favourite with such a yummy chicken and flavoursome rice. Service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating, enjoyable space and free WIFI available. Lots of other Malaysian dishes on the menu. I've enjoyed the Char Kway Teow ($13.80) before but I'm definitely trying the Singapore Chilli Soft Shell Crab with Rice ($16.80) next time which seems to be new since I last visited.

The masters of lunch cafe service have just extended their hours and I was privileged to be one of the first to sample their NEW DINNER MENU which began serving this week!!! And it certainly did not disappoint with a jam packed slight re-invention of Malaysian and hints of South East Asian influences in a colorful menu curation that takes your pallette on the ultimate joyride!
One of the great things about Malaysian cuisine is the remnants of Chinese, Indian and Singaporean influences you will find across that country. The menu design (by co-owners, James, Tisna & George and their talented team of Chefs (Alan, Eeleen & Johnny) takes the best of those influences in a number of original signature and re-worked classics!
For entrees we started with the CRISPY QUAIL which is lightly seasoned and served in quarters. The GRILLED GARLIC MARINADED PRAWN SALAD is served on greens and vermicelli with hints of fish sauce and a kick from fresh chillis! THREE-CUP CHICKEN is a softly battered dish with a slight crisp and blended with a basil infused soy sauce – absolutely stunning dish! Just when I thought the Chefs could not outdo themselves, they continued with the surprises using the SWEET & SOUR flavours we love from classic Chinese with LAMB CUTLETS – it was a very unexpected combination but worked so well!!! It was as if American Ribs had met Sweet & Sour Pork and it was so addictive and sticky messy to eat - I couldn't stop and finished most of the serving!!! And then we were presented with their signature PUMPKIN FRIED RICE – the Malaysian / South East Asian answer to the Italian's Risotto with almost a tropical element to it. It was a half Butternut Pumpkin hollowed out filled with Prawn Fried Rice and then the puree used to coat the entire mountain of rice grains.
So much to love about this menu, that keeps you guessing until you get your tastebuds into it, but it's the friendly service attendants and also the team of Chefs who put so much care into each dish that embody the real charm that the Upperroom is all about! The portions are quite large and mains are generally designed as share plates, the space is indoors and a perfect escape from the metropolitan bustle whether you're out shopping at the nearby mall or a communiting office worker. Seating is designed for groups with large open spaces for you to enjoy an informal gathering, meeting or private function! Can't wait to come back and explore the rest of the menu this wonderful place has to offer!
Tried out the restaurant for the first dinner service and all the food was delicious! We ordered a range of things and they all arrived quickly and tasted as described. The homemade tofu with salt and pepper seasoning was so delicate and melted in the mouth. The crispy eggplant was just the right balance of flavours and in great bite sized pieces. Following the recommendation of the server we also chose the three cup chicken which exceeded expectations with a beautiful flavourful covering. Our other main choice of the barramundi came with the house made sauce with an excellent spicy kick. For a change of a standard rice side we chose pumpkin fried rice which arrived in a half a pumpkin! A great experience and will definitely be back for more.
Amazing place, great food@ great working space, efficient team; great exprrience. We recommended to everyone if you are in the city anothrr great place to visit
Was invited by zomato to try out this place and the first thing that took me by surprise was it was very much like a Malaysian restaurant as well as a cafe. Went with the Malaysian food and was definitely impressed by the quality of the food and how fast it arrived after ordering. The prices were decent too for his location - definitely will be coming back here
Great restaurant located inside the Wesley mission building. At the front they have a cafe for coffees and light lunches but walk further in and you will see the restaurant with a great open space and bar area. The menu has variety with a lovely spread of authentic Malaysian dishes. I highly recommend the Wagyu laksa and the chicken rice.
Recommended by a friend and it turns out that they serve awesome asian dish. Tried out the hainanese chicken rice, lobak rice and the coffee. Great ambience. Worth a try for the hainanese chicken rice 👍🏿
Located in the Wesley Mission Building. Nice spacious setting that can probably fit 40-50 people. Free wifi and lots of power points. Good place to work or study. Had a pork belly salad which was sorta good. Pork belly was a bit tough but the roasted pumpkin was divine.
Unique cafe with a fusion of asian and western food items. Great coffee and nice layout, great value too. Only problem is it is hard to find.
Must confess to being a little disappointed that the 'kitchen' doesn't open to 7:45 given I checked the opening hours and it is listed as 7am. Nonetheless the staff were friendly, my avocado toast was taste and filling and the coffee was better than average by a long way.
Great place to have city meetings. Comfortable, quiet, good coffee, food is tasty and reasonably priced. The staff have always been friendly and attentive. I havent needed to explain every little thing to them. All the barista's are good but the head barista knows his stuff! Quietly makes it all happen with little fuss and great result.
Love the quiet comfy environment that makes it easy to sit and read the paper or hold a small meeting. It just "feels" good.
Good place to go - check it out!
It's easy to walk right on by upperroom, it's tucked away on Pitt street but definitely worth the search!
I have to start out with the staff, they are incredibly attentive and can literally read your mind (they did twice, once with my need for tomato sauce, the other with my need for a serviette). They were polite and speedy which made my dining experience even more enjoyable!
Ordering the chicken burger I was extremely impressed with the bun and the bacon was absolutely heavenly, crunched to perfection. Only downer was the onion (I should have ask for it without) onions on burgers just don't do it for me.
Their fruity drinks are also seriously yummy!
Great decor and all round fab place to eat.
Received my big breakfast missing 2 of the listed included ingredients (tofu, grilled tomato)
However price was incredibly reasonable. Scratch that. Prices were brilliant!
The coffee, staff and food is great. I especially like the salted caramel brownies. Plus, they're very socially conscious, supporting efforts to reduce homelessness, etc.
Well hidden inside the Wesley Mission building is this bistro like restaurant that serves classic Malaysian dishes. While the service was extremely slow when I was here, the staff made a nice gesture by offering my impatient kids some free Babycinos to keep them occupied. When the food finally arrived, we finished them in a flash, satisfied with both the flavours and the generous servings.
Tried Vietnamese Pho today, authentic taste and so yummy! Adding garlic vinegar - feel like Im in Hanoi 😋 Recommend to buy meal combo with true Viet milk coffee for extra $3.5. What a bargain!
A hidden gem, plenty of seating, tucked away in the Stockland building next to Wesley Mission.
The food is great. I've paid a lot more for considerably worse food at other Malaysian places in the city. A couple of Malaysian friends rate it highly too. The service is very friendly and the only downside is that it can be a little bit slow depending on what you order. But I guess the upside there is that it's being made fresh.
Love all 3 of the stalls! My fav of the Thai menu is Bbq chicken with noodles, and lunch deals with house made drinks are just great value!
Pork roll at the Vietnamese stall. And Char kway teow at the Malaysian one!! So yum!
Delicious, authentic Pho. Broth is great, noodles are fantastic, and meat is plentiful. Good value for money’s worth. Very easy and simple dining experience too 👍
My friends had a coffee from here and I bought Vietnamese coffee! It was great and the staff are so sweet. Great service and coffee! Don’t be fooled by the size of the place.
Came here for lunch, large spacious restaurant with plenty of comfortable seating options. Good for groups or solo eaters. Great selection of Malaysian food. I ordered the Char kway teow for $14 . Really good and authentic with the crispy bits n all! Noodles delicious and portion size decent. Service was relatively quick, guy at front desk was a bit moody but who cares. Was popular but not too busy . Right next to Wesley mission church on Pitt St . Would've given 5 stars if price was a little cheaper or if some other wow factor but defo 4.5 if I could . Will be back though to try the laksa next.
