here is a short description that I wrote in another thread, hope it is helpful:

I visited the SYD NZ lounge yesterday -- I always used this one anyway even when the RCC was open in the past (why would anyone use the RCC if they knew otherwise!). It seems as good as it always was, I didn't notice any decrease in atmosphere or service just because UA is there now, just more Americans wandering around... It did feel more energetic or lively compared to before UA, when it would always be practically deserted.

Lunch offerings: nice caesar salad with egg/bacon bits, sandwiches, small bowls of very tender chicken curry over rice, small bowls of fried fish (as in fish+chips kind) with chili/tomato/tartar sauces, addictive dense chocolate cake slices with fresh strawberry, plus all the other usual lounge food/drink items.

excellent, as always. I was going to try the SQ lounge for a change, but I'm happy enough with this!
