Book NowAbout Toei Surry Hills
Surry Hills diners head here for a multi-course Asian-fusion tasting menu that delivers serious creativity without pretense. Tucked just off Campbell Street, the dining room keeps things cozy and unhurried—ideal for date night or a small group catch-up. Tables fill quickly for ten-course spreads running from house milk bread with black truffle honey butter to fried mantou stuffed with king prawn and citrusy finger lime. Patrons point to the ankimo parfait wafer and tender short rib as signatures, with the chef stepping out from the kitchen to drop plates straight to the table. The progression wraps cleanly on a tart raspberry sorbet.
- Ten-course tasting menu: A 10-course progression featuring house milk bread with truffle honey butter, king prawn mantou, and ankimo parfait.
- Chef-led floor service: A relaxed, small-footprint dining room where the head chef regularly delivers plates directly to tables.
