Sidney's 'So 9' restaurant serves upscale Vietnamese street food. Through its interior, So 9 is able to fuse together the theme of working class comfort-food with a higher-end presentation.
Typically, Vietnamese street food is sold by local vendors with fully exposed cooking areas. This Australian restaurant pays homage to that tradition by mimicking the way food is presented and cooked.
