Wonderful dining experience! The staff make you feel so welcome, they listen and helped provide a memorable and personable service along with excellent, lovingly made food. Best Korean Fried Chicken we’ve ever had, especially when paired with rice and a smoothie, something about it just hit all the right spots! Can’t wait to come back!

Gr8 food, service and price. Ordered a lamb curry and two Malaysian iced coffees, one to go. I usually don’t have the ability to eat large amounts of food, but I couldn’t help myself from finishing the curry with rice. Too good 100%

What an amazing place. Friendly staff Fish burger is spot on. It is nice and quiet with outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor seating has clear vinyl blinds to break the weather. Definitely worth a return visit to try some of their Asian fair.

Not only do Westside do great coffee, but they also do a fantastic Malaysian dinner. Every meal is delicious. When combined with Koni Korean, which shares the space, you have a unique Armidale dining experience. The proprietors are super friendly. Westside has now become our favourite. Do yourself a favour and try it out!!

They are lovely people have lovely food but low on dietary restrictions. Only have bread that is gluten free. But their cakes looks yummy. Visit them. It’s so cold, the ambiance is amazing and patrons are attentive.
