Cheap Eats Sydney: 5 Cheap Restaurants You Should Check Out

Exploring the beauty of Sydney, Australia can be quite exhausting after a full day, and with an array of restaurants and food haunts scattered all over this beautiful city, it takes time to choose where to eat. But what if you're on a tight budget and wants to eat inexpensively but don't want to skimp on quality?

There are actually some affordable restaurants that serve delicious meals in Sydney. Forget the Quay, Sepia and Rockpool Bar & Grill-your bank account will not thank you if you dine in these places. Here are some of the best cheap restaurants in Sydney that you should check out:

At Kings Lane Sandwiches, they make giant-sized sandwiches fit for a King with budget-friendly prices. Their sandwiches can stack up to eight to 10 centimeters high, so if you're hungry enough you can devour this alone, but it can also be shared with friends or family. Try the popular chicken schnitzel with herb mayo and lettuce or the poached chicken with celeriac coleslaw, or if you want you can make your own combo sandwiches fit for your taste.

Dumplings and Beer. Make sure you look very carefully when you seek this snack bar in Potts Point, as the place is literally cupboard-sized. The cramped space may be inconvenient, but their dumplings are to die for. Set a schedule when you decide to eat at this place as it gets full easily, but if you do manage to get a seat, try their famous pork barbecue buns. There are only 4 other dumpling flavors, so make sure you try them all. As for the bill, you needn't worry. Their prices are as small as their restaurant space.

Located on 20 Campbell Street, Haymarket, Chat Thai is the best food haunt in Sydney to try South-East Asian cuisine. You always see people lining up just to get bite, and why shouldn't they? You don't need to go to Thailand just to order a delectable Pad Thai, sizzling satays and grilled prawns. Just join the patiently hungry customers and wait for your seat and indulge on their delicious food-without depleting all your cash!

Chicken Institute in Surry hills would make you forget about KFC. This is fried chicken on another level. The restaurant is Korean, and we know how Koreans take their food seriously. There are several fried chicken flavors to choose from, but the most popular is their original recipe. Partner it with Australian craft beer or a smooth, frothy coconut and honeycomb milkshake, and all your stress for the day will melt away. Their bibimbap is also a star-if you're looking for a fun, veggie dish, that is. The place can get easily crowded due to the food excellence and its affordability, so make sure you book early!

Another interesting food haunt in Surry Hills, Bodega offers a mouthwatering tapas-style menu. Take a bite of their specialties: kingfish ceviche on grilled garlic sourdough or Bodega "fish fingers", and you would definitely come back! Their menu doesn't require you to spend over 50 bucks, with most dishes you can avail at less than 20 AUD! Their wine list is also extensive, and we all know tapas and wine are the perfect combination. Don't think twice in venturing in this place, your stomach will thank you for real.
