Kam Fook
Kam Fook Bondi Junction offers Yum Cha to the Eastern Suburbs.
The Kam Fook story started in Chatswood in 2003. Since then Kam Fook has branched out to Bondi and has been going strong since 2005 bringing to the area a new generation of Chinese Food Culture.

Located on level 6 of the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping centre, Kam Fook offers a generous 20 metres of opened frontage to its dinners.
With handmade Chinese furniture and high quality finishes of 20th century décor; the aim of the restaurant is to provide a modern interpretation of the type of Chinese dining people have come to expect.

The hustle and bustle of Yum Cha lunch starts up at 10am each morning and runs until 3pm in the afternoon. After the Yum Cha frenzy, Kam Fook transforms into a calm and romantic restaurant for evening fine dining from 6pm with the last order at 10:30pm.
Cantonese style cooking is usually what is served at Kam Fook because it is the largest and most diverse cooking style of China. The restaurant believes in using the freshest ingredients and they have an extended menu for live seafood from the Australian coast.
Kam Fook is also a proud member and committees of the World Association of Chinese Cuisine (WACC). They are actively involved with the organisation and have won awards in the 2005 competition.

Pompei’s
George Pompei started up Pompei’s Restaurant in 1999 with his wife Adisa.

They serve up great Italian food and hand-make their own gelato, pasta and pizza. Pompei’s is fantastic for children because they get their fair share of healthy, good Italian food with small pizzas and classic pasta dishes. Then as the night wears on the kids go home and the restaurant turns into the perfect place for a romantic dinner for two.
