Run by Kylie Kwong, beloved Australian chef

South Eveleigh is a busy precinct where company offices mix in with historic buildings, modern restaurants and vibrant events. Lucky Kwong blends in with its rustic, chic design. Many dishes also pay homage to the land’s traditional roots by using locally-sourced ingredients.

The core idea behind the cafeteria-style restaurant is to represent Chef Kylie Kwong’s Cantonese-Australian identity. Lucky Kwong is big on flavour, as you’ll see from the wok-tossing in its open kitchen, and also big on native ingredients. Vegetables are grown at South Eveleigh (as well as sourced from Boon Luck Farm), and the pork belly caramelisation is made from Davidson’s plums

The cuisine at Lucky Kwong is created on the values of simplicity, sustainability and community. No more evident is food’s power to connect than when steamed dumplings are dipped into home-made chilli sauce, or a plate of stir-fried Hokkien noodles is being shared.

One of the must-orders at Lucky Kwong is the “Home-style Fried Eggs”. These are fried up with oil and spice until they are pillowy yet crispy in texture. Mess it up by splitting open the yolks before layering a spoonful with rice. The flavour is indulgently savoury and a reminder of street-style hawker dishes.

Lucky Kwong takes bookings and is open for lunch only. See this TikTok video for more yumminess.
