Food Scene

Korean dumplings close-by we eat each time we visit Strathfield. Own and run by my parent's friend and great to see it thriving. If you are a fan of Korean food, this is a must try bite.

Their food is authentic and the service is spot-on, friendly and knowledgable English speaking staff and their BBQ grills are more-ish, and great value. Good selection of beers, soju and reasonable corkage for BYO wine.

We're pretty fussy with Thai food and Maenam hits the spot when we want Thai locally. Newtown, I suggest has great Thai restaurants but when it's at your doorstep in Strathfield, it's too easy. Great if you want to have a drink and walk home.

When we want Italian, we do on a short drive to Concord which looks like a holiday destination with it's palm trees, californian bungalows and relaxed sea-side atmosphere. There are several restaurants to select from and you can choose where to eat once you've walked up and down the street. Make sure you park your car far away enough, so you have enough time to finish the gelato before you get back into your car. We tend to also bring home Italian bakery delights from Concord.

Essentials

Check online for opening hours. I generally go to Everton Road, opposite the Whelans pub to the underground passageway to get to the 'other' side of the train station.

This is one of our favourite beaches in Sydney as it's relatively easy to catch a train to Central Station and a bus to the beach. For day trips, we like the rugged Palm Beach or the child-friendly Wottamolla Beach with the lagoon. For Sydney Harbour beaches, we like Nielsen Park, Balmoral Beach and Shark Island (jumping off the jetty).

Sydney's Chinatown is near Central Station and it takes only a little time and effort to get there from Strathfield. However, yum cha / dim sum in Chinatown is one of our most favourite things to do on a lazy Sunday.
