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.
