WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

    So is this the rip off or the real place in the images?

  • Mandy

    I am the designer and I have lived in New York, Barrio Chino used to be my local and it bares absolutely no resemblence to Barrio Chino Sydney – completely different concept.

    You obviously dont know either restaurant. It was my client’s decision to use the name – i agree im not entirely down with – but this happens alot.

    I’m sure there are a million Barrio Chino restuarants around the world.

    I think you should find something a little more interesting to blog about using a little more research next time. But thanks for the free publicity all the same.

    The rip off.

As I was surfing on the web I ran into this project, Barrio Chino in Sydney designed by Mandy Edge. I got really excited to see that one of my favorite spots in NY had expanded to Australia. It did not even occur to me that it could be a complete rip off of one of New York City’s dining institutions, just seemed like a no brainer. The lower east side is full of Aussie’s  who frequent Barrio Chino and I figured a nice little partnership has worked out from all those meals. It turns out that someone had the nerve to not only take he concept but also appropriate the name.

When I called Barrio to find out some more info they told me they heard about it but it had nothing to do with them. I know that everyone everywhere borrows and even copies from things they see but it is quite shocking to see examples as blatant as this one. I have not tasted the food but the atmosphere can not compare in any way to the original Barrio Chino.
