A new restaurant has opened up and is challenging to become one of Sydney’s best value banquets.
Island Radio is the new venue from House Made Hospitality, and also the first venue to open up in Surry Hills’ new $500m precinct, Wunderlich Lane.
It’s a fun, Southeast Asian eating house/noodle bar that is filled with colour, music and is pushing to become one of Sydney’s best value new restaurants.
In the noodle bar, wines start at $10.50 a glass and the spicy noodle bowls start at $15.
In the eating house, Chef Andy Wirya (from Bondi’s Easy Tiger) has created a menu inspired by Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
They’ve got a $39, three-dish lunch offering while their six dish, banquet menu starts at $44.50.
If that’s not enough, Island Radio’s 12-person private dining rooms include its own karaoke lounge. While on Thursday to Saturday night, there is a DJ on the decks in the main dining room.
This is the fifth venue the hospitality group has opened up in the space of two months. Last month the burgeoning group launched four venues at the newly redeveloped Sofitel Sydney Wentworth including rooftop bar Wentworth Bar and Vietnamese-inspired restaurant Delta Rue.
Next week, more venues at the precinct are set to open including Olympus, the new Greek restaurant from the owners of Potts Point favourite Apollo.
House Made Hospitality will also open up bar Baptist Street Rec Club in the new year.
