Amazing Malaysian-Thai fusion restaurant in Balmain! The fried chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, packed with flavour. We also loved the pork belly and Pad See Ew — generous portions and great value for lunch. Friendly service and definitely worth a visit. Will be back! 😊🍗✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Berempah Malaysian and Thai Balmain has delicious fresh food served fast. It’s a great place for Lunch and Dinner with very friendly staff who always have a kind smile. The restaurant is clean and has indoor and outdoor seating. We love the promotions that come and go such as Spin and Win and others. Their Beef Rendang is the best in Sydney! I’m looking forward to being there again soon.

A jolly good experience all around! We visited as a group of 14 friends, and this place handled our large table with ease. The mix of Malaysian and Thai influences results in some truly tasty and authentic food—the Roti Combo and nasi goreng were absolute highlights! ​Despite being a large group, the service was impressively quick, and the prices are very reasonable for such a prime location. The restaurant has a wonderful, vibrant ambience that makes it a great place to enjoy a meal and chill out with a crowd. ​Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious South East Asian flavors and a welcoming atmosphere! ​#hikingdiarybyabid

Loved seeing three vegan main dishes of the menu. The vegan beef rendang was a real treat. Enjoyed the vegan spring roll too.

This isn’t a suburb where I’d expect Southeast Asian food to thrive — it’s very white, very old money, and honestly not that open to “new things.” But Berempah doesn’t try to prove itself. It doesn’t oversell culture or shout about tradition. It just shows up with clean flavours, solid technique, and a price point that sits comfortably in the $25–30 “local favourite” zone. The pork belly? Genuinely excellent. The crisp is deliberate, not aggressive, with a hint of tamarind glaze that lifts the fat without overpowering it. The Ayam Berempah has that tight spice crust that tells you someone in the kitchen cares. Rendang is mellow, roti a bit dry but the dips redeem it, and the black sticky rice closes the meal softly — pandan or not, it’s a win. This isn’t a restaurant trying to be “authentic.” It’s a restaurant that’s figured out how to belong. And that’s why it works.
