It's amazing that you can choose three dishes from so many delicious-looking options plus white rice for just $17. I seriously envy the office workers nearby who have such fantastic choices! I was especially impressed by the hearty side dish packed with fresh octopus and the stir-fried eggplant with miso. We also ordered noodle dishes like seafood laksa, and everything was satisfyingly generous and delicious. It was so good that I ended up going twice in less than a week!

Legit noodle soup near Wynyard without going to Chinatown! All dishes are only $17-$18 with great portions. Love the Beef Brisket Wonton Noodles (Dry): tender fatty brisket with tasty sauce & wontons, on top of thin flat rice noodles with a small bowl of delicious soup on the side. The Crispy Chicken here is very good (their default menu is laksa, but you can change it to noodle soup or rice), so is the wonton noodle soup. However I think the Hainanese Chicken Rice was just ok, it satisfies but noodle soups are the star! The cashier girl is friendly with fast service. This food court is busy with not too many seats inside. They have outdoor/alfresco seatings though.

The best Cantonese food I had in Australia!! The the price is very fair! The Reception lady is very nice and sweet! She offered free soup for me as I asked. :) I’m appreciated her energy! She can speak mandarin & Cantonese. Feel at home!

If you haven’t heard, seen or even been to famous chef inside the foodcourt of 259 George Street, then you might be missing out one of the most affordable Chinese meals in Sydney CBD. Coincidentally, I have noticed another store at Met Centre called famous lunch (not sure if it’s the same owner?). Famous chefs menu serves soup/ dry noodles, laksa, rice/ fried rice and stir fried noodle dishes. Under each category there’s upto 8 different variety of dishes to choose from, which makes your selection easier. An even easier choice for you to make are the daily specials, which normally include their signature or most sold meals. While all the meals are very affordable, they are also served in decent portion too. As for taste, you won’t get the same quality as the ones in Chinatown, but Famous aren’t too bad. The beef brisket soup offered generous amounts of beef & noodle and tasted not too bad. However, I didn’t particularly fancy the hainanese chicken rice too much. Compared to other restaurants and for similar prices at Chinatown, the portion was very small, chicken wasn’t boneless and there was no shallot or chilli sauce. Crispy chicken laksa was a great dish, large in portion and the chicken was nice. Another thing to note if you buy from famous and pay in cash, you save $1. It might not be much but it’s a small incentive and making it an affordable lunch.

Delicious food and friendly service. They do get very busy during the weekday lunchtime. Orders can take a little longer than expected when they are busy but is always cooked fresh and to order. It's definitely worth checking them out!
