Bump into this restaurant in the small alley. Trying out for the first time japanese skewers.
Suitable for quick bites and beer.
Price is bit higher. Food was great. Chicken hearts and skin is a must try.

Menu is not as extensive as other yakitori places. They were good although a bit pricey per stick for the quality. We were a group of 6 and were able to seat for weekday dinner after only about 10 mins of waiting.

Worst experience ever, it was our Valentine night and we were so hungry, ordered a veg pizza, pizza came with a ton of cheese, since we were so hungry, we had to eat just bread from the pizza. There was nothing in pizza apart from cheese, cheese and cheese. If we wanted cheese pizza then we would have ordered it. Attached leftover cheese photo.

I won’t recommend going to 3 Monkeys, and I won’t be going again after since a bad experience.

Dining Experience @ 3 Wise Monkeys Pub.
.
Ambience channels a traditional pub vibe. The sturdy wooden furniture and dim lighting lend atmosphere, while the window seats allow you to watch the world go by.
.
Service is a little aloof, with minimal interaction. Staff work quickly in cleaning up and serving orders, and security is polite. The menu has clear descriptions, but there's little opportunity for staff to demonstrate product knowledge.
.
Food is traditional British English pub grub. Taste and quality are slightly above average, while portions are large and hearty. Prices are reasonable, budget about AUD $35 per person.
.
The Fish And Chips (AUD $23) has freshly battered boneless fillets of barramundi fish, golden brown and crisp crunchy outside, flaky moist inside. Has lovely sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
There's a fresh mesclun salad of crisp baby spinach, crunchy red onions, juicy zucchini, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crisp chard, dressed with balsamic vinegar, carrying vegetal earthy sour tangy zesty sweet herbal bitter flavour.
.
Completed with fluffy crisp potato chips with starchy salty savoury flavour.

We really enjoyed the Rump and Chicken Parmi; both meals were generously portioned and delicious! Highly recommend! One of the best meals we've had in the region.

Great pub, music and dancing up stairs. Staff are friendly and helpful. The food was good, hot and plentiful. ( have ti say I have never had chip/fries that crispy, absolutly fab). Would definately recommend the venue for drinks or for eatung. During weekdays the menu lists a dish of the day.

Such a scam this place is. there is this guy on 19/12/23 at 6.30pm, making espresso martini is nightmare. The taste is no good and even though you pay heaps, he prepared the coctail half a glass and when i told this he was just not accepting and giving you excuses. No good. Dont get coctails from here. Go for beer if you have. Dissapointment!! Look at this cocktail!!
Visit every time we go to Sydney, never disappoints. Great food, lots of options at an an affordable price.
Interesting sports bar that shows a variety of sports, and has a good variety of dishes in their menu to suit most tastes. Relaxed atmosphere, good place to hang out & catch a game. +1 for having Guinness on tap. They get a very international crowd as well.

Great place for yakitori (grilled chicken). All the chicken was perfectly cooked and goes well with alcohol. My fav was heart and gizzards.

Good no frills korean bbq place. Seemed popular on a Sunday night bit still managed to get a table straight away as a walk in.

Staff were very accomodating to us and the food came out quickly. Works out to be $40pp. Atmosphere is very typical for a korean bbq place (dark-ish, noisy), perfect environment to drink as well.

The chicken and egg bowl was the best dish in terms of taste and flavours. The other 2 were decent as well - especially the meat - both the chicken and duck.
1st time trying and positive experience.
Cool pub with food, cool bar, and good beers on tap. Upstairs area for more room, friendly staff, and everything you'd like to see in a pub.
Really cool sports bar with large food selection, decent draft beers, a full bar, and lots of space. They have an inside area with an upstairs so you have plenty of room with friends.
They have a small outside area if you want some fresh air, big tvs, and very friendly staff. It's our first time in Australia and this place was a great start.
My first time coming here. The staff were rude and unwelcoming, always staring at you and just basically dismissive. The food was cold when we got it and the drinks were so expensive compared to other pubs and wasn’t even that good (used low grade alcohols). The bartenders seemed all over the place no routine. Although, this one security guard was the worst; no professionalism, very abusive behaviour and language, very angry (seemed like he was trying to hold back from hitting you when he talked to you) when dealing with customers. Got physical before communicating showing he didn’t know how to properly deal with a situation in a professional manner. Honestly, the atmosphere just felt stuffy and like a trap house. The staff members just didn’t seem like they cared or wanted to provide good customer service. Would definitely not go here again.

Visited on Monday night for their Korean BBQ. There is a very good range of meats as well as cooked dishes. The hot plate on each table is huge which allows you to cook faster than you can eat!

A nice selection of Cooked dishes including Soup and an area to make your own Bibimbap. I only wish they had a larger variety of Desserts. Overall, pretty good value at $40pp (if you pay cash).

There are not a lot of food options compared to other buffets we’ve been to. The food itself was alright. Considering what we paid (it was around $30pp for lunch all-you-can-eat if you didn’t select the bbq option) the experience overall wasn’t that bad, but I would recommend checking out other buffet options in the city instead.
Meat are always good here. They are strict about the 90min time allocated. Have not had issued about wastage, they always stress the issue when seating customers. We usually take small portions at a time so never had an issue with it
We just tried this for once and will never return again. Not satisfied with the food. Expected much because of its price but only few choices unlike the other buffet that we use to eat at. No fishcake, japchae is bland, only few desserts and place looks dirty.
Place is good, the pizza as well and they have Guiness beer. Only issue here its always is too busy and crowded dont go if would you like to stay chill out cause its too noisy and youll couldnt talk

Lunch buffet is good enough and food is very yummy with Korean food style. I like the noodles with beef very much and chicken wings are good as well! Price is very nice for 20 dollar per person!
Normally here was fine for bar area, but 'the Worst customer service' I ever had in VIP lounge. I went there 04/08 Friday night around 12am. The staff was super rude and also she didn't do her duty.

Had the 2.0 loaded fries, chicken bacon and Mmmm it was good. Service was OK, QR puck at the tables where you scan and it's all done virtually. Picked my food n drink and paid all on the app, super convenient. Atmosphere was nice enough was there during the slow time so not much going on, stayed at the lower level only so was nice and simple.
Great place to watch live sports while having one meal. Just don't try to get in with high visibility not allowed. The food was pretty standard pub food nice and a good serving.

I revisited the place with my friend for the lunch buffet recently. We arrived at 2 pm. We were shocked when we saw 5-6 options of dishes to choose only, and some of them were a few pieces left (not includes salad bar). The fried chicken wing was the only thing we enjoyed. extremely disappointed!!!

Yakitori Yokocho is one of the newest additions to the many Japanese restaurants at Regents place. My first impressions of the shopfront visually was impressive and love how it looks just like japan.

The menu offers many types of skewers from meats to vegetarian, nibbles and side dishes. Keep your expectations low because the skewers are tiny, expensive and doesn’t taste anything like yakitori from Japan. For an assorted yakitori which contains 4 pre-selected skewers cost $15.90, plus a few side dishes will cost between $25-40 per head.

Small portions, expensive meal will leave you hungry and looking for food elsewhere. Save your money and go downstairs to one of the other Japanese restaurants.
Great beer, food and atmosphere. Has several giant screens to see sports games, sound is a bit loud but it's a pub. Centrally located in a very good and safe area of Sydney Central.

Cheap buffet with no frills. There were plenty of meats to choose from and sides. The waitress changed our grill plate 3 times. I liked it that you go and choose your meats than have big plates of the same meat served to the table. I would have liked more options of sauces.
We unfortunately got served raw chicken karaage.

This place is overpriced for the quality. There’s much better yakitori places in Sydney. The wagyu was overcooked and quite bland.

The only saving grace was the pork belly, it was cooked well.

Great place in the city for some Wagyu BBQ Buffet in the city.

Heaps of meat and sides to choose from.

Had a great experience with the allocated time of dining experience. Worth the price.

Definitely going back with some company for some bbq sharing!

Being in Regents Place where good food is the norm, Yakitori Yokocho has fallen way short of the expectations set by other restaurants in the arcade.

To start on a positive note, I really liked the bright colourful decor that made it a nice place to just chill and have a drink with a couple of friends. The waitress who took my order was also quite friendly.

The problems began with the 25 minutes that it took to produce 4 skewers. By that time, we were almost done with our first drink. We actually ordered the same dish again and it once again took 25 minutes, so at least they were consistent! The second issue was the lack of char in general, with many skewers being quite pale. The issue here is that the skewers were likely cooked in a lower heat for a longer time that resulted in some chewy chicken. The one item that I enjoyed was the onigiri that had a char and a balanced flavour.

Overall, I think the flavours were average, execution definitely needed improvement. Service was slow in general and portion sizes were too small for the asking price.

They have a variety of Japanese Yakitori that are not found in most Japanese restaurants in Sydney. The skewers are cooked to perfection similar to those you can get in Tokyo. I like their Wagyu beef, fishcake & chicken liver the most. Price range is reasonable for this kind of cuisine. Definitely worth trying and I am going back again!
The place were cozy, great ambiance, a bit intense on their sound system but was a good one though. We ordered Rump steak Medium rare and Chicken wings in buffalo sauce however it came a bit longer than expected although it was not so busy! The steak served medium well though but the wings was perfectly fine. Good place to visit and we’ll definitely come back.
Cheers has been a major pit stop for many of us over the years and through it’s temporary evolution of the 80 Proof spinoff, we rediscovered a great underground venue space that hosts a lineup of entertainment from stand up comedy to hip hop crew dance-offs to corporate functions. So it’s nice that it goes back to basics with what we loved most about it - Sport, Entertainment and Hearty food. Currently there is a streak of Asian in some of the dishes which makes sense, but all our old faves are still there.

THE HAWKER PLATE is a mixed grill of pork belly slices and southern fried chicken. Its a great example of how it’s menu has streaks of Asian influence through it, as it shares the board with Thai/Malaysian street style peanut sauced Satay Chicken sticks - a welcome addition.

THE VERMICELLI NOODLE SALAD takes you Vietname with the crunch from the bean sprouts and kick of slight chill and coriander with battered sliced fish through it!

Mate had the NY BURGER: (Quote) "I went the double bacon cheeseburger and wasn't dissapointed. Not my preferred cheddar, prefer the American, but the beef and bacon were good. Bun was soft. Again, my dislike of sweet caramelised onions on a beef burger was apparent to me. Chips although basic were well seasoned.” - I love caramelized onion so this burger would have been up my alley, but I was very pleased with my choice!

Lucky enough to be served by the manager himself, Mark and very personable character with superfast delivery times from the (I peered in) small kitchen! It’s like magic I tell ya!!!

This isn’t just for NRL, EPL, UFC fans as there’s a great mix of sports lovers, carefree and corporates that come through setting a really relaxed and funky vibe to the place!
