    A great dining experience for any occasion. My husband and I have been wanting to try Hustlers.Syd for a while now and it did not disappoint! Very welcoming staff, the menu looks delicious especially the entrees, will definitely be back soon to try the rest of the other dishes. Food came out fast which was good cause I was pretty hungry. lol To end the dining experience, upon paying the bill we had the opportunity to play an odd or even dice game but unfortunately we did not secure the 5% discount off the total bill. Oh well better luck next time!

    Fabulous food. The lobster spring rolls and prawn dumplings were a standout. And the steamed perch was subtle and flavourful. We had great service too. Will definitely go back.
