Sum Yung Guys Restaurant

We got the kingfish starter, prawn toast, short ribs, and chicken. Plus we added roti. Overall, it's a very uneven menu. The kingfish was incredibly fresh and tasty but the portion is small. I would treat this as an amuse bouche. The prawn toast is very average if not disappointing. It tastes like a deep fried fish cake. The short ribs are deep fried and lose their beef flavor. It's a waste of good short rib and the portion doesn't justify the price either. The best dish by far was the peanut chicken. Incredible flavor, juicy chicken, and good portion for two people. Fair warning though it's VERY rich and fatty but well worth it. This dish is the only reason I'm giving the restaurant a 4/5 instead of 3/5. Lastly, the roti is absolutely nuked in deep fryer. We thought it would be lighter and more of a baked consistency. We sent it back and it was removed from the bill, no questions asked, which we appreciated.

There is a reason why this venue consistently gets a great review across the board. Our party of 7 was provided a booth which was comfortable. The young staff were attentive, professional, engaged and courteous. The menu was explained via share plates small medium and large. The venue is on the dark side and with polished concrete floors on the noisy side when packed at peak time. Dont expect to secure a walk up seat at peak time with bookings a must. I concur with many past reviews that the Asian inspired infusion tastes are excellent. Our waiter answered our many questions when we ordered especially around levels of chilli heat across the dishes, but no dish was too hot chilli wise. Small share plates used as entrees came out quickly with a bit of a wait for mains arrival however our pork tomahawks take a while with our waiter keeping us informed on the delay. With out a doubt the stand out was the pork tomahawk. Cooked to perfection with an exquisite glaze / topping. The meat was sliced off the bone with ample topping on the plate. Chewing the pork bone at the end of the meal was a treat. The chicken dishes were huge, cooked to perfection and again tasted great. Toilets are outside air conditioned. Staff were attentive throughout our meal constantly replenishing water and seeking if more drinks were required. Our best meal by far had at Noosa this trip. If your looking for a great meal with Asian inspired tastes this is your place. 2 x free steamed white rice bowls were provided for our group of 7 which is a nice surprise. To feed 7 adults cost $550 (no alcohol but a few soft drinks) tonight which for the tastes, variety and portion sizes I consider reasonable. We did not finish many of the dishes and we all left more than sated. Can very highly recommend for a Noosa based feed but make sure you have a booking or be prepared to hang around until a table frees up.

One of the best restaurants on the Sunshine Coast by a long way. Contemporary Asian cuisine in a stylish, modern setting with excellent service and a great cocktail list (including some fantastic non-alcoholic options). We’ve celebrated a few birthdays here and the team always goes to a lovely bit of extra effort, which makes it feel really special. The food is consistently outstanding; authentic in both flavour and ingredients. The duck is spicy but absolutely worth ordering if you enjoy bold, traditional dishes. The betel leaf rice cake with fresh apple is to die for, and the roti bread is next-level (a must-order if you can eat gluten!). You can really tell how much care goes into every dish; the herbs and lettuce with the spring rolls were beautifully presented and thoughtfully paired. Their current smoked eggplant dish is unforgettable in flavor and texture; I’ve been thinking about it ever since we dined there last week 🤤 Highly recommend ordering a range of dishes to share with the table; you really can’t go wrong here! Or engage with the staff - they’ll do a really good job of explaining the menu. This is a must try!

Cannot fault our overall experience. From the host/manager Terry, to our waitress Joanne - they were all so accommodating, lovely and efficient. We ordered so much food, but everything was so delicious! We loved the tartare, shortribs, fried rice and the chicken! The cocktails were also very good! It is too far to walk if you are staying on Hastings St, but definitely worth the trip!

Been wanting to try Sun Yung Guys for ages and finally the stars aligned and we are VERY happy. We will definitely be back as there are more dishes we want to try. We had the prawn toast (great flavours), fried rice with char sui pork + prawn (possibly the best fried river I’ve ever tasted), beef rendang (a must try) & roti (I saw it was recommended online and it lived up to the hype) We’ve already chosen dishes for our next visit.
