How we read reviews →Brunswick's best fried chicken sandwich and Vietnamese-chargrilled combo in one focused kitchen
Relaxed, welcoming casual dining on Sydney Road Brunswick. Communal-style tables with self-serve cutlery give a shared, unpretentious feel. Welcoming for groups and families alike. Not fancy. the food is the statement.
Appeared at the Australian Open; house-made tap tea on tap (not always visible on the menu. ask for it); papaya salad and rau ram made in-house; intensely focused menu executed to a very high standard; skin-on chips with proprietary seasoning blend
Vietnamese technique clearly evident in the chargrilled chicken with papaya salad, rau ram, and house-made tea. The kitchen brings a modern, confident sensibility to Vietnamese-inspired cooking, blending it naturally with a well-executed American-style fried chicken sandwich.
Spicy fried chicken sandwich $16, chips $5; grilled half chicken with rice and papaya salad $35. approximately $28 per person for two. Some reviewers felt the burger portion could be more generous; overall the quality justifies the price point for the area.
