From ceiling to floor, Fu Manchu’s red interior promises all the good fortune and good taste of traditional Chinese culture. And it certainly goes a long way to deliver. Well, actually just to the surrounding suburbs of Darlinghurst.
You’ll find no second rate Aussie slimese once you’re through the heavy sliding door. They use only authentic ingredients and authentic cooking methods to bring you an authentic taste of China.
TwoThousand recommends the Duck Wraps followed by some Manchu Chicken or Char Hor Fun. Mm Mmm.
Unfortunately the good taste hails some bad taste in the form of clientele. And thanks to the communal seating plan there really is no way to avoid them. Just jab a sharp elbow at any Paddinghurst wanker who calls the wait staff over with “hey you”. You’ll be doing one for them and one for TwoThousand.**
