Rey's Place Darlinghurst - Sydney

My boyfriend took me there to celebrate my birthday.

The Salmon Sinigang was outstanding, with a flavorful dressing that elevated the dish. The Veggie Adobo had a wonderful sweet and savory glaze, although the beans were a bit tough. The Eggplant was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Stuffed Squid was fresh and came with a tasty chive cream dip. However, the soy ginger sauce was a bit overpowering for my taste. The Chicken Adobo was a showstopper, with four large drumsticks cooked in a delicious sour soup with onions, potatoes, lemon, vinegar, soy sauce, and bay leaves. The chicken was tender and flavorful, especially when enjoyed with the soup. We also enjoyed Sailor Jerry rum, which tasted like classic rum with a buttery finish. A bowl of rice paired perfectly with the chicken broth. The service was excellent, with enthusiastic staff who clearly take pride in their work. The only downside was the cramped table spaces and dim lighting. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience!

The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly and professional, delivering fast service that will leave you thoroughly satisfied. I highly recommend visiting this establishment.

I've given Rey's a 4 but that's after I've realised I don't love pinoy food that much. Nothing bad, just not my preferred flavour profiles. The staff here were great and it's a cool little spot. I'd definitely suggest trying it as they do an excellent job and their food was tasty (hence the score).

5/5 Wov basic filo food with a twist of fine dining.<br/ <br/ Honestly saying was a bit concerned with this statement but no reason for that! Food was incredibly well made and tasty. Sometimes making basic food in fancy way creates small disasters, but not in here. Chef know what he is doing. Brilliant!<br/ <br/ Ambiance was what can (should) be expected from pinoy restaurant, but here we had once again that extra mile further. Even when cutlery was placed none matched and plates where from grand parents! Some might not find it nice, but I find it keeping this place real to it’s roots even being top class.<br/ <br/ Fantastic dinner. We will be back for sure.<br/ <br/ NOTE. In our reviews 5/5 is not expected to be place with ‘3 Michelin Stars’. It’s valuation of roots of cuisine, brilliant way of making it and ambiance with service. All matches with Rey’s Place.<br/ <br/
