Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great location and staff are clearly passionate about the restaurant. However menu options are very limited and lacks variety. I thought it was expensive and not good value for money.

Just fantastic food. Yes, it is expensive, but look at the location. Don't take any reviews about price seriously as Sugarcane is in walking distance to 100 other restaurants. The menu is easily available, so you should know what you are paying before you walk...in. We had he "Trust Me" menus and it was some of the most flavoursome and imaginative Asian food I had ever had. We booked as it was a convenient place to meet, we left having really enjoyed teh meal. Thank youMore

Great location. The level of service was good. The waitress Emerson was very pleasant I was disappointed with the selection of dishes offered on the menu, not a great variety. Both my companion and I found the food a bit too sweet; we did make...a comment on this to the waitress.More

Great night. Good music and good cocktails. The waiters were very polite and kind. We were in a group and everyone thought the bottomless drink deal was worth it.

Sheer excellence in every way. A warm greeting at the door, even though we hadn't booked, quickly seated on the enclosed, heated, balcony. We opted for the "Trust Me" menu where the server decides what you will eat, once dietary and allergy preferences are taken...into account. What followed was probably one of the best meals we have ever eaten, with bites, small plates and large plates presented to us. Every course had a wow factor, and a little bit of theatre with it. The service was on a par with the food - attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Even the music was interesting and enjoyable. Thank you guys for a very special evening.More

A wonderful meal on our last night in Australia. The service was excellent, with the waiter advising not to order two crispy chicken dishes, but replace one with the pad Thai instead…a good decision, the beef rendang was excellent. The waiter was humorous without being...overbearing…..would highly recommend.More

Went with large group mid week and had the set menu. From the first to the 2nd last course it was fantastic. Beautiful dishes that had everyone on the table making compliments. There was so much food it was incredible. so no worries about not...having enough to eat, thats for sure. For us, the only disappointment was the desert. A top of chocolate mouse with a lemon ice cream seemed an off choice and the flavours didn’t really match up too well. Anyway, aside from all that, the rest was just great. Thank you Sugarcane.More

Charging a credit card fee. It’s called a cost of doing business not an add on charges to your already crazy high prices. $5 an oyster. Surprised you doing. Have a surcharge for them to be shucked as well. Or one to put your beer...in a glass. Ridiculous!!!!More

We had lunch at Sugarcane a week ago and I’m still dreaming of the food !! We were a party of 3, that included a year old baby. Nothing was too much trouble. The waiter bought some prawn crackers for him too eat while we...read the menu. We picked a few meals too share, all absolutely delicious. The waiter was awesome. Very good customer service. I could not fault anything. Just a perfect lunch at a very good restaurant. My only problem is that I live in Melbourne and can’t get back there ASAP to have another feast. Definitely on my go to places in Sydney to eat. Great spot too !!More

Take away for a family - 3 mains - all too hot/spicy - not noted on menu - fried rice gluggy- entrees - 1 ridiculously small serve of each - all terribly overpriced - would never try again. Extremely disappointing.

We were staying in Coogee and simply came across this restaurant on a Sunday evening walk (headed for a pizza somewhere). Looked interesting and a friendly waiter quickly had us seated in a spot in their outside area. A great looking menu (not extensive but...still hard to choose). We went for their special (chicken dumplings) plus salt & pepper squid and green mango salad. Each dish was special - fresh, tasty and each with their own distinctive dressing. A fantastic meal, washed down with a chardonnay from Orange we'd never heard of but will now track down. Recommend highly.More
