Fabulous! They’ve taken old-school Chinese food and brought it up to date with flair and flavour! Fresh, real ingredients and generous portion sizes. We tried the recommended classics: prawn toast OMG! and deep fried Viennetta yum and they lived up to the hype. Mushroom fried rice was delicious without the old school grease, and a wonderful Murray Cod with ginger and shallots was perfectly cooked and subtle in flavour. Lovely retro room with a backdrop of the fermenting tanks to remind us that we’re actually in a brewery. And out the back is a wonderful showcase of photos of our country's most charismatic and fun loving ex prime minister, with some memorabilia donated by the Hawke family.nSuch a fun and delightful experience for a Thursday evening. We’ve already booked again to come try out more dishes. Special thanks to our waiter Harrison who provided the most unconventional and amusing service that I had ever experienced, and still managed to give great warmth and hospitality. Great retro venue, cool vibe, delicious food bringing back the comfort Chinese food we grew up loving, and snappy and attentive service. Do yourself a favour!nOH! And did I mention the beer? It’s a brewery after all. Great selection of craft beers with tasting flights available. This place rocks
Looking for the good old slap up Chinese meal? Look no further!nHeard about this place and was impressed by the gluten free options for classic 80s Aussie Chinese.nIt’s like a staged time capsule to the 80s with a good dose of humor.nMake sure you book because it was busy!nBut that only added to the atmosphere.nGood beer, great food and friendly staff.nWhat else can you ask for.nDefinitely going back. May be for Sunday yum Cha next time. Without the coeliacs
We had an average experience at Hawkers Brewery in Sydney. The venue itself has a nice setup and the beer selection is quite extensive, which was great to see. However, the overall vibe felt a bit underwhelming. Service was polite but not particularly engaging, and there wasn’t much atmosphere during our visit. While it’s a decent spot for a casual drink, it didn’t really leave a lasting impression. We were hoping for a bit more energy or something unique to set it apart.
The food at The Lucky Prawn inside the Bob Hawke Beer & Leisure Centre was surprisingly good. I forgot to take photos but this place serves up super-tasty Chinese food with a side of what's fast becoming a tidy lineup of classic Aussie beers.nnThe Prawn Toast is king, 4 steamed dimmies that packed a flavour punch, the crab omelette was silky smooth, prawns in XO yum, and the old school sweet & sour pork and beef in black bean sauce served on a sizzling hot plate is every bit worth the money which isn't expensive, especially if you're there with a group. Our bill came to around $75pp and included a bottle of white wine, 4 pints and 2 glasses of rosé.
This was our second visit. Weekends are tricky as the restaurant only takes reservations for 4 or more and even though we arrived around 11.45 and perched ourselves at a bar table, the restaurant’s reserved tables remained infilled until we left around 1pm.nThis place trades itself on nostalgic old school Chinese food. Well, I was around in the 70’s and 80’s when Chinese food was a mainstay of Australian dining and I can assure you, it was nothing like what was dished up here.nOk let’s talk about the positives. Music is great, bar staff are welcoming and accommodating. The vibe is pretty cool. The food is ghastly.nWe ordered the soup dumplings, they were ok, not made on site, probably frozen from some wholesaler. The garlic prawns were swimming in a grey sauce, check out the photos if you don’t believe me. Crab omelette was not like anything we had experienced anywhere in Asia or even in a backwater Australian town. The cod was acceptable, but tasteless. The food was around $150 for two people. I’m pretty sure one can do better than this anywhere else in Marrickville.nVisit here for the fun vibe, the great music and the overpriced drinks. Don’t eat here
