Pass through this door covered in pink neon and you are at Ms. G’s. The decor is grungy New York loft style, with a graffiti wall, ceiling of jam jars, seats made up of Yebisu beer crates, all in a mood lighting that’s not unlike those used in red light districts (which is only a street away, for your information). The two chefs, Dan Hong and Jowett Yu, one of Vietnamese origin and the other Taiwanese, joined forces to create a menu that blends Vietnam/China/Taiwan/Korea, then infused it with a bit of America. If you are familiar with David Chang’s Momofuku, you have an idea of what to expect here.

The decor kept my eyes busy, and so did the seating arrangements. Tables – a mix of booths and communal dining – are spread over four levels, all overlooking each other, layer after layer.

As all tables in the dining area were taken, we were ushered up to the attic bar. There’s a good range of beers, sake, and some fun cocktails served in plastic bubble tea cups, and yes, they even have the special sealing machine and the big straws. I tried a Mull It Over (14 AUD), a mix of Beefeater gin, pomegranate liqueur, mulberry vinegar, orange, lemon. The drink was excellent, though it wasn’t served in a bubble tea cup as it belongs to the “unpackaged” section.
