Chin Chin Sydney

$$$ | Surry Hills

For a long time, those wanting to experience Chin Chin had to head to Melbourne. But in 2016, a sister restaurant finally opened its doors in Surry Hills, and it has since elbowed its way to epicurean cult status among foodies. The Southeast Asian fare here is truly standout and so are the funky interiors, resulting in weekend tables being booked-out a month in advance. There are several "must" dishes on the 50-plus menu, including the massaman (a Thai curry) brisket and the chili salt chicken wings. There’s also an on-site cocktail bar open until late, serving weird and wonderful concoctions.
