I have tried and I have tried to love Malaysian food. Tried it at numerous restaurants in several countries and thought I would give it another go at this location. The food at Vim's is nothing spectacular but my son ordered the mussels and was impressed with the size of his serving (he said the serving of mussels was quite large for the price). But I have to say, the woman / cook who served us was awful and said racialized comments to our multicultural family and our "lack of taste" (um, we have extensive experience with spicy food and love Jamaican /Nigerian / Northern Chinese / Portuguese cooking which can be very fiery. And we cultivate chillies at home. But thank you for showing us your true colours). We haven't gone back since due to unappealing food and rude service. Good news is that if you live in Sydney, Kensington is barely a 5 minute drive away and you can OD on pretty much anything from Asia, Malaysian included, til your hearts content not to mention the city is a 15 minute drive away as well. And the service and food will be way better than at Vim's. Not recommended.

Vim's Kitchen is a very good restaurant. It is located on a corner which lends itself to a substantial amount of outdoor seating. We were served by friendly staff and were warned when placing our order that one of the dishes we asked for would be very spicy. We ended up selecting Kambing Kari (fresh Aussie goat cooked with spicy Malaysian /South Indian spices topped with caramelised onion) instead. Although it too was a bit spicy (as expected) we were able to handle it ok. Credit cards are accepted in the restaurant, however there is a surcharge. I recommend Vim's Kitchen as the food is very good, however it can be very spicy too.
Ordered 20 worth of food through menulog, went to pick it up but was told it had been cancelled because it was under 25. Then they just walked away. Why would Menulog accept orders under 25 if the restaurant won't allow it? I then asked to speak to them again and they just came back and said it was their policy to not accept orders under 25. Why? The restaurant was empty, wouldn't you prefer any business to none? It's not like I was asking for delivery. It wasn't even the fact I wasted my time going there it was their rude, uncaring attitude which ended up in them screaming at me to hear "the point of view" after stating several times only it was "their policy". Why not say order a little more and we'll make it or since you're here we'd be happy to make something for you. Their loss, went down the road to the new Chargrill Charlie's where I ordered 40 worth of food and no hairs or flies in it either! I'm a local and you have now lost me for life!
