Sydney's vibrant dining landscape is set to lose one of its most beloved institutions as the iconic Potts Point restaurant, Ms G's, prepares to serve its final meals this December.
The Asian fusion eatery, which has been a cornerstone of the city's food scene for 15 years, announced its permanent closure with a heartfelt social media post that described the decision as a 'warm farewell' to its loyal patrons.
The End of a Culinary Era
Ms G's will officially shut its doors on December 21, 2024, marking the end of a significant chapter in Sydney's culinary history. The restaurant first opened its doors in 2010 and quickly established itself as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts and local residents alike.
Under the creative direction of executive chefs Dan Hong and Jowett Yu, the restaurant gained fame for its bold, no-rules approach to cooking that masterfully blended Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean flavours with distinctive American influences.
The establishment is part of the extensive Merivale portfolio owned by hospitality billionaire Justin Hemmes. In their official statement, the group explained they were 'looking ahead to an exciting new chapter of growth and innovation,' with several new venues and development projects currently in the pipeline.
A Legacy of Innovation and Flavour
Ms G's was widely recognised as a trailblazer within the Merivale group, setting the stage for other successful ventures including the acclaimed Mr Wong, which launched in 2012. The restaurant's unique atmosphere and flavour-packed menu made it an influential force in shaping Sydney's contemporary dining scene.
Among its many celebrated dishes, the cheeseburger spring rolls became something of a culinary legend, earning a dedicated following among regular visitors. In their farewell message, the restaurant team specifically encouraged customers to visit one last time to enjoy this signature dish.
Merivale's statement emphasised the restaurant's significant role, describing Ms G's as 'a beloved part of our Merivale family and local community, and an influential component of Sydney's dining scene.' The post warmly invited Sydneysiders to create final memories at the venue before its December closure.
Public Reaction and What Comes Next
The announcement sparked an immediate and emotional response on social media, with many long-time patrons expressing their sadness at the news. One commenter described it as 'the worst thing to come out of 2025,' while another declared it the 'end of an era' for Sydney's food culture.
Several social media users shared their personal connections to the restaurant, with one noting that the cheeseburger spring rolls recipe had become a staple in their own kitchen, saying 'Massive respect to y'all legends it's been an honour.'
The closure comes during a period of significant expansion for Merivale, which operates more than 80 venues across Sydney. The group recently made its debut in Melbourne with the opening of LB's Record Bar in early October.
Additionally, Justin Hemmes has made substantial property investments, including the $55 million purchase of an eight-level council car park at 34-60 Little Collins Street, which he plans to redevelop into an entertainment precinct featuring bars, accommodation, a sky garden, and an art gallery.
Meanwhile, the culinary talents behind Ms G's continue to expand their portfolios. Executive chef Dan Hong has recently launched Good Luck Eating House, a new Chinese diner, ensuring that his innovative approach to Asian cuisine will continue to influence Sydney's food scene even after Ms G's serves its final dish.
