Don't you hate it when your eating with a group of friends or family but no one can decide what to eat? Spice Alley is the solution to all first world dining problems! I love how they have recreated a piece of Asia here in Chippendale which resembles the hawker style street markets (plus it's much cleaner than it would be if you were in Asia!). There is everything from Chinese (and is that dumplings or wonton noodles that you are after), Malaysian, Japanese, Indonesian...too many to choose from. Dumplings here were juicy, we wanted to go back for seconds in fact. A bit pricey for the amount you get, but I think it's the novelty of eating at Spice Market that you pay for.
The dumplings are yummy!! BYO venue, this area is such a cute spot in Sydney, must try. Get there early before sunset so you can make sure you can get a table!
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.
