Was Tuna at Brainwave Café a mag?
omg this katsu-don was so much better than i expected! I ordered it with egg because i’ve only recently begun to slowly settle into a plant-based life. It was super tasty and the portion is huge for the price! so worth it! The boss was really nice as well. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes!! View all feedback.
What meeel dislikes about Brainwave Café:
The food is delicious and convenient to have in the Haymarket/CBD area. Some menu items are unique and not found in any other vegan restaurants in Sydney (such as hainanese chicken, jajangmyun, etc.). However, in terms of taste and price, I still prefer other vegan Asian/Chinese restaurants. View all feedback.

This place is awesomeThis little cafe off in an alley way, just off Harris St is an awesome place to stop off.
I studied abroad in Sydney, at UTS, for 6 months and I would come here all the time! Near the uni and central station.
The taste of Thai milk tea is amazing! Both Thai tea latte and soft serve. A hidden gem near Central Station. Definitely will go there again!
The cafe didn't look that impressive from the outside nor necessarily from the inside. But I was curious to try the seemingly Thai influenced burgers so I went in and gave it a go. I ordered the soft shell carb burger through the heyyou app and was pleasantly surprised. The chips were crispy and tasty, and so was the burger. But most of all, the simple decorations that adorn the walls on the mezzanine floor come with uplifting quotations and the drawings are nice, which lifted my mood.A cafe worth trying out...
This hidden gem of a café may not catch your eye from the outside, but once you step in, you are in for a treat. Offering a fusion of Asian and Western cuisines, the dishes are described as delicious and the coffee is top-notch. The Thai influenced burgers and green curry with tofu are highly recommended. The staff are known for being friendly and accommodating, making it a welcoming spot for a quick snack or a study session. With uplifting decorations and a cozy atmosphere, this café is definitely worth a visit, especially to try their pandan and coconut soft serve ice cream. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a relaxing spot away from the city rush, Brainwave Café is sure to impress with its quality food and exceptional service.

Brainwave is one of my favorite places in Ultimo! They put a creative, thoughtful, and vegan twist on classic dishes and it always delivers. The staff is friendly and the service is great. It is cute and not at all pretentious (like many other vegan places . Vegan or not, try this place for wonderful food and service. : We will return again and again!
Absolutely love this place. Coffee is amazing too! Right next to UTS, love how adventurous the menu is! Will be visiting very often :
The portion sizes are generous, and the chickpea mushrooms were delicious. The pancake was also tasty; I would recommend pairing it with the Thai milk tea ice cream.

Five of us made dinner reservations at Brainwave, our first time dining there... and it exceeded our expectations. We decided to share five dishes and each one was absolutely delightful. We will definitely be returning.
The restaurant is in a small laneway just opposite Central Station. Very nice place with outdoor and indoor seating areas, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Have been here twice (tried 4 dishes in total together with my partner) which ranged from average fried up Asian noodles to great starters. Would definitely give it another try, they have a huge range of dishes.
Used to love this place but it’s gone down hill massively. Food quality has slipped and is now a bit lifeless, the customer service is cold and uncomfortable and the general vibe of sitting there just isn’t as nice. Given it several attempts recently, such a shame!!
