Went to bodhi on Australia Day and it was a Big mistake! We asked for water and napkins (the deep fried items were so greasy) both of which never came. So then we decided to order drinks and when our coffee arrived it was cold so we sent it back and another arrived without an apology from the waiter.

The food is so over priced so we were careful about what we took. When we asked the waitress what each item was her accent was so thick we couldn't understand her and to top it all off they over charged us for a meal we didn't have! This place is over rated and we will not be going back.

We had a great yum cha lunch at Bodhi in the park yesterday. You really can't beat the location. A nice bonus is that kids are made very welcome and also the dog could come along (on lead and under table outside). They have the best fresh apple juice and a nice selection of teas and beers on offer. The yum cha itself is delicious (all vegetarian) and was great to share with our group of friends.

Sydney most overpriced and unpleasant Yum Cha. Even the fruit basket was a fail. Bitter pineapple and rock-melon. Rest of the food was same level. Service was behind expectations, inexperienced staff, dirty dishes (lipstick on supposedly clean $3.9 tea cup). Definitely must avoid. Only positive: the park is a nice venue.

Food was served relatively cold, spring rolls were burnt (black at the ends) all food was over salted. Wouldn't go back.

Came here with my partner and our vegetarian friends. We ate outside and it was lovely (lots of fairy lights!) but for some reason they had all the space heaters on inside. Our food was interesting, but tasty. The fried eggplant with peanuts and mushroom was amazing and worth coming back for, but the "duck" salad with asian pastry was a bit of a let down. The glazed shiitake mushrooms were disconcertingly more like candy than a savoury meal. Service was cheerful, but they did get the bill wrong on the first attempt - thankfully we caught it before paying for someone else's meal! I would come back, but probably only if I was with a group of vegetarians.

Food was amazing. Many gluten free options too. A bit pricier than the Green Gourmet where we normally go but the food was brilliant. The outdoor setting was really nice too. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that they had a surcharge for credit card payments but didn't tell me until after it was processed.

It has been a month until I realized I haven't made the review for such a great restaurant. Dined here twice and both experience were great.

If you're not from Sydney like me you must visit this restaurant before you leave. My friend and I loved the food, most delicious curry I have ever tasted.
The service was superb, the Asian waiter was very articulate and professional. He remembered what beer I drink and recommended me dishes that I really enjoyed.

The price is very reasonable for this restaurant, lovely atmosphere, superb food and service. Definitely coming back the next time I visit Sydney.

Was disappointed and offended. I had checked the website ahead of time which says 'we have lots of gluten free options, just ask'. I asked. I was told a few meals were GF, one of which included the words asian pastry nest - when I queried this, the waiter told me 'oh that has gluten in it, so just don't eat that bit' Also the other waiter just plonked our bottle of wine on the end of the table without opening it or saying anything. Pretty bad service!

We went here as a group for a birthday dinner, we were advised to have the banquet menu and preordered in advance. The food was pretty good, but as a vegetarian I find it weird that you have meat look/taste alikes, its not necessary!

Service was pretty good until the end when we were charged for an extra person but not told originally that changes in numbers required 24 hrs notice. I chose this restaurant mainly due to the photos on the website and scores for ambience, I have to say this was the biggest disappointment, its more like sitting in a carpark filled with tables and chairs and if you have a boney bum it sure ain't comfortable after a while.

I can see how spring/summer outside could be lovely, but inside is a cold concrete pit, far from ambient in my opinion. A different experience and one I am still undecided if I will try. again.
