I came here last weekend, and I’m so glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great too; the staff were all smiles and super quick to take care of us. The place itself has a really nice vibe—modern but still cozy—and it wasn’t too loud, which I really appreciated. I left feeling happy and full, and I’m already planning to come back and try more of the menu.

First time visiting Sydney and have been craving for Vietnamese food. Found this restaurant nearby my hotel and decided to check it out.

Amazing surprised how good the food was. We started out with mango salad which is so scrumptious. We then ordered Bánh Xèo with pork and shrimp which is so crunchy with vegetables and delicious fish sauce well satisfying my tasting buds.

Bún Bò Huế came next. It didn’t have the usual strong pungent smell normally accompanying it. Yet, it tasted like the traditional authentic dish I grew up having.

The service was excellent quickly delivering the food one after another with no time gap in between. All in all, I was a satisfied and grateful customer highly recommending Cash Only restaurant located on 1 Barrack St, Sydney.

Food was good, the apple salad is a must-try. The flavour was just a great combination. We wished The beef tartare had more zesty flavour and a bit more seasoning. The beef wrapped in betel leaf was great with Mam Nem, even though the fragrance of the leaf (which is the signature of the dish) was not so prominent. We enjoyed everything and the food came out quickly.

We only rated 4/5 for service. We made a reservation for 2 and when we arrived, we were seated in a table for 4 next to the entrance. After being given the menu and water, about ready to order, we were moved to another table for 2. We ordered a cocktail and glass of wine, the wine came out awhile then they told us that they didn't have an ingredient to make the cocktail...

Excellent food and service! Would give this 10 stars if I could. Staff is amazing and very attentive. Have been here twice during my business trips and always try to come back when I can. The food never disappoints. Would highly recommend.
