Budget
Coconut Thai
also located on keira st, variety of excellent thai dishes. meals range from $10-20 per person. recommended for vegetarians and vegans, as they offer a lot of excellent non-meat dishes, as well as a wide array of beef, chicken and seafood orientated meals.
Food World
Chinese/vietnamese food, big meals and dirt cheap. mains $8-$10. great atmosphere. don't be put off by some of the ugliest decor ever allowed to grace a restaurant, they have some of the most satisfying chinese food for prices that don't ever seem to be affected by inflation. highly recommended if you want a quick, cheap and filling meal, try the chicken and rice.
Mylan
There are a number of vietnamese restaurants around mylan, twins, ha long bay etc mylan is by far the best and is always busy, book ahead if you can.
Ahmed's
between north wollongong station and the crown street mall. a kebab shop run by a sometimes-professor for the university of wollongong, named, surprisingly, ahmed. always open late, recommended is the regular chicken, extra extra extra hot.
Fujiyama Teppanyaki Restaurant
Japanese restaurant. chefs cook the food at the bbq in front and sometimes behind of of your eyes. a delight to the senses at budget prices.
Midrange
Marco's
Corrimal st. in wollongong's cafe district, offers a range of dishes concentrating predominantly on italian cuisine. portions at marcoâs will challenge even the most avid eaters.
Thai Carnation
Corner of corrimal and crown st. popular thai restaurant. duck curry is served with lots of fresh vegetables and some fresh grapes, the duck is succulent and tender and the broth is mild but tasty.
Everything about Wollongong's eateries is excellent. Most restaurants are located on either Keira St or Corrimal St, but don't be afraid to venture down a laneway, or further North or South to outer suburbs, to find great food. There is something for everyone.
Caveau
122-124 keira st. opened mid 2005, the creation of former banc sydney sous chef peter sheppard. caveau serves french meals, with prices set at either $55 for two courses or $77 for three. the second wollongong restaurant to receive a hat from the good food guide and as such a friendly rivalry has developed between lorenzo's and caveau - one that has seen the north keira street area develop into an important restaurant district for the city. location immediately next door to ahmed's, see above.
