    Very nicely arranged, but a bit tricky to find our escape from. While eating my rendang, I noticed at least seven people struggle to find the exit...

    Find parking close by at Broadway or brave the back streets. Parking inspector’s are brutal even on weekends, get there early so you can group tables together (groups bigger than 3-4)

    There is a nice atmosphere in Spice Alley. I also like BYO concept. Foods are really tasty and the prices are affordable👍🏼

    Went here on a Monday and the place was empty. So many selections of food under different cuisines! Prices are affordable and the quality was A+!

    What a cute location and lots of food options! Only annoying this is they don't take cash so you need to purchase a gift card !!!

    Hidden gem of hawker shops. Legit flavour and authenticity. Just like being in Malaysia, right down to the number call out system.

    I love malaysian food and this place has excellent prices with great food, especially with Sydney's inflated costs.

    I have one suggestion: invest in a proper electronic ticket numbering system. It's very often very difficult to understand our hear the numbers that the staff are shouting

    Pretty cheap and a cool little tucked away place. Annoying they don't take cash though.

    Traveled to Aussie and I find a food court just like I would in Singapore. Other than the price difference. Lol

    Buy your drinks at the first stall when you come in as most of the food stalls don't serve beverages.

    Lots of seating while remaining cosy due to the layout. Prices are student-friendly but portions seem small.

    It's mostly a 'No Cash' payment system which makes it quick service. Great food and atmosphere.

    The Singaporean/Malaysian food here is a joke! Uncooked noodles and "soups" saltier than sea water. Staff tells me salty soup is what it's supposed to taste like. Absolute waste of money and calories.
