It’s Corn – Burwood NSW Restaurant Review

Writing about the fourth restaurant in Burwood Chinatown in a row made this feel a bit too much like a job rather than a hobby again, so here are just some thoughts about the flagship It’s Corn ($9.50) product:

• I can’t believe they made a restaurant purely out of a meme
• The whipped cream was a mistake, but it wasn’t a mistake to get it on the side so that we could try it
• I’ve never paid this much for a cob of corn, and I hope I never will again
• I don’t even know what category of cuisine to put this under – with “premium” cheese, chilli, butter, mayo, whipped cream, parsley as the toppings it’s hard to say it’s definitely even Asian inspired, but other options on the menu do have gochujang and black sessame, so I guess it’ll just be vaguely “Asian fusion”, the first time the label has been applied to anything this unfancy.
• I’m a microplane stan since 2024
• It’s overall pretty missable given the glut of other options available.
