2 in hospital after Sydney restaurant fire

Two men have been taken to hospital suffering smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at a Korean restaurant in Sydney's CBD.

NSW Fire and Rescue Superintendent Greg Rankin said 13 people were evacuated from the three-storey restaurant on the corner of Goulburn and George Streets after a fire started in the kitchen on Sunday.

Major traffic delays around the area will hopefully be cleared early afternoon, he said.
