King Clarence

Sydney CBD. Funky lighting. Serious wok hei. King Clarence is a masterclass in unapologetic Pan-Asian heat and smoke. The city’s dining obsessives are constantly chasing that perfect, crispy-bottomed claypot rice here—and for good reason. It’s an absolute powerhouse of a menu. Think prawn-spiked mapo tofu, expertly fired duck tsukune, and a raw seafood lineup that demands attention. Insider tip: assemble a crew and attack the banquet. You’ll need the numbers to conquer the legendary roast pork and those impossibly fluffy fish baos. And don't skip the drinks. Sydney's hospitality crowd points straight to the brilliant in-house sommelier for elite sake and wine pairings that slice perfectly through the rich, adventurous spice. Finish with the mango pudding. Thank us later.
