Istana - THORNLEIGH

Decent homestyle Malaysian restaurant. Very prompt service. Hainanese chicken was good and not dry. The chicken oil rice is delicious. Curry was nicely spiced and good portion. Very tender beef brisket. Noodles were good too. Affordable place to satisfy the cravings.

One of the best Malaysian-Chinese food in Sydney. Everything is always cooked fresh with quality ingredients. My favourites are fried rice, pork loin and kapitan chicken. Price is a bit on the higher range considering the location, but it's definitely worth it. Don't miss it when you're in the area.

Been frequenting this restaurant for years the 5 stars is for the consistency over the years in delivering delicious authentic malay flavours, particularly with the laksa and hainan chicken. The laksa lately seems to be a little watered down in the broth, but the hainan chicken rice has stood the test of time. Bottomless chicken rice? Who could say no!

This restaurant is well known in Sydney for Malaysian food. It is located inside Central Park, on the 1st floor. There are underground parking lots as well as some parkings outside the restaurant. They are famous for Hainanese Chicken and Wat Tan Hor (Saucy Rice Noodle), both dishes can be seen on most of the dining tables. This place can get busy so better make an appointment prior to visiting.

Mostly good food and the friendliest service. The place is starting to look a bit run down, but the owner is always welcoming and the locals keep coming back. My squid sambal was delicious and the roti was as good as always, but the vegetarian laksa was a bit bland. This place is worth seeking out if you are a fan of seafood.
