Comments of Madame Wu
B. M.
Great service all day. We chose the Banquet and struggled to finish it. Dishes are presented beautifully and great fans of flavours.
Great Cocktails too, the Madame Wu is highly recommended and the Sichan Margaritas are a great tool.
A. N.
3.5 ⭐ - great atmosphere and friendly service. Got the lunch banquet which was good value.
♤ Steamed duck buns - definitely a highlight, would recommend. So much flavour and buns were soft
♤ Wagyu dumplings - the shallot flavour was really strong, overall still delicious
♤ Kung pao chicken - basic stir fry dish, seasoning was bland. Nothing spectacular
♤ Char siu bbq pork - strange combination, pork didn't taste very fresh & was dry
♤ Tang sui chicken - very flavoursome, some bits were again dry but still enjoyable
L. T.
We had a beautiful anniversary lunch here on Saturday. Food was absolutely delicious and interesting. Staff attentive and so kind and friendly. Lunchtime banquet at $50 each good value for such high quality dining. Table with a great view too. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.
H. I.
We had banquet #2 and the food was fabulous. My family are big eaters, but there was more than enough food that came out. The entree's were absolutely delicious! Each one that came out was better than the last. Favourite main around the table was the Portuguese chicken, wonderful flavours. The cake was nice, the ice cream made it better. Overall for experience and customer service, 5 stars ⭐

Came here during lunch and we ordered the lunch banquet. Location wise, it’s great because you can see the view of the brisbane river well & it was very relaxing at that time of the day. Food was yummy and we had a sumptuous meal! I really enjoyed the yuzu and xo oyster. The flavor was done well 👌🏻👌🏻
A. C.
Fantastic view and great service 👍 The waitress was quite observant. She noticed that we were celebrating my birthday. A little surprise with the desert was very sweet
J. W.
Banquet #1 and was absolutely AMAZING. Lovely staff and quality of food was amazing. Highly recommend :) Favourite restaurant I've been too in Brisbane. Thank you for making our night special ☺
Z. K.
20 out of 10!!!! It’s our very first time here and we had the banquet 2. Every single dish was on point especially the Bug meat with XO sauce. The cocktails were delicious.
Not only was the food exquisite, the service was amazing. I emailed ahead as it was a special day and not only did they note it down and organised what I requested, the team members knew and was able to converse with us with that extra care.
That extra mile really went along way.
I think it’s my favourite restaurant now!
A. G.
Had a fantastic meal here and the hosts were super flexible and accommodating. We required a few changes to the set menu so got in touch about this when booking and when we arrived the server immediately let us know the changes and we were so impressed with this. The food and drinks were delicious and would 100% recommend for a special night out / occasion.
P. A.
Special thanks to Ryan and Ramun. We celebrated a retirement in private function room. Banquet #1.....Food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. A great experience. Thanks again
B. S.
I had an amazing experience. Is easily one of my new favourite restaurants in Brisbane. Friendly staff and great food.
T. H.
Had the pescatarian banquet for $80 and we were all very impressed. All the food was very, very good with a few knock-out dishes (bugs, salmon salad, prawn toast).
The service was very friendly and the food came out quickly (maybe a smidge too fast for us to savour each dish, but did not dampen the evening).
Cocktails were great and the location is fantastic for views of the Story Bridge and Kangaroo Point.
Definitely will be back - thank you Madame Wu
C. P.
Met with another couple for an early dinner. We ordered the banquet 1. Service was impeccable. We were very happy with the food although we couldn't finish all the courses. My fav was the smoked trout salad (I normally don't go for seafood but it was delicious!) The veggie sides were very good. The boys loved the deep fried chicken ribs. The only dish I didn't enjoy was the lamb it was a cut with a layer of fat under the crispy skin and had a strong lamb flavour (I'm not faulting the preparation though). We shared a bottle of Pinot and the boys had beers total was $550 but we had a 15% surcharge for public holiday.
It's a lovely view and ambience, however the boys didn't face the river so they just had the great view of us! Definitely return and now we've sampled the menu would select individual dishes to closer suit our taste perhaps with less meat.
K. G.
We had a lovely dinner celebrating a special birthday. The service was attentive, knowledgeable and they provided suggestions when we were looking for inspiration. The view over to the Story bridge was amazing. They cater for food allergies and had separate menus for gluten free, nut free and crustacean free. Very busy at this time of year so a great atmosphere. Loved it.
K. P.
This was our first time dining experience at Madame Wu. We wanted to dine out for our 31st wedding anniversary. Madame Wu staff were thoughtful and the attentive service they provided made the night all the more special.
We highly recommend you make a reservation if you haven't already tried Madame Wu. The meals were all exceptional and we would need to highlight the Ducks Buns are a must to try.
J. P.
Beautiful view and great cocktails. Our waitress was amazing and really saved the night for us. I really wanted to like this place as I have heard so many great things about Madame Wu. We ordered the banquet menu for 4 people. The food looked nice and read well on the menu however; everything was a little cold and very under seasoned, nothing had much flavor, not what I was expecting from a contemporary Asian restaurant. We may have just gone on an off night, so please, don't take my word for it. We definitely want to come back to try the 'a la carte' menu.
R. C.
Excellent food and service, beautiful location overlooking the river and Storey Bridge.
We had the $95 Banquet and the staff happily arrange alternatives for the people on our table with special dietary requirements. Plenty of food which was all delicious. Many of our table had differing views on which was the stand-out dish but overall it was all great.
M. P.
Over all good experience.
Enjoyed the food here, good flavours, not very large portion sizes.
Ambience 10/10, great view!
S. S.
We’d been looking forward to dining here.
The view was spectacular as we watched the sun set. Lighting is dark in the restaurant, but allows the surrounding view to stand out.
Our favourite dish was the Chicken Ribs. I was surprised and disappointed the bug meat was covered in batter, I would have ordered something else if I knew this.
C. K.
This place never disappoints. The food, atmosphere and service were amazing. I will continue to keep recommending and coming back!
A.
We were given a gift voucher for dinner to celebrate our 41st Anniversary . We were very happy with the location, seating, service, and food we received. The waiters were very friendly and attentive and we received a glass of champagne on the house. We will definitely be coming back and trying different things. Well done Madame Wu!
J. W.
Beautiful view, excellent staff and great food! All dishes were delicious, however other than the bug meat, nothing really stood out. Definitely a great night out.
j. d.
food always amazing but the pannacotta needs to change, consistently a different flavour and always a miss rather than a hit. dessert is that last dish you have and having a disappointing desert after an amazing meal is really a let down. has the chef ever tried it?
a. m.
I have been there many time before for lunch and was always very happy regards to their food and service. So I booked our company Xmas dinner. All the colleagues were very impressed with Madam Wu food quality as well as the attentive and friendly service. This venue is definitely the one you can trust and recommend to your family and friend. Thank you.
K. B.
Took my best friend here for her birthday and ordered the degustation. Thoroughly impressed with the quality and amount of food, quality of service and atmosphere. The Ocean Trout Salad and Chicken Ribs were favourites. Thank you also for spoiling my friend with a special birthday dessert and sparkler. Thoroughly recommend and will be back!
L. J.
Great venue and food for our wedding meal, thanks to the staff of Madame Wu for making our night special. Agree duck buns are the best, but all dishes were superb and huge, certainly didn't go hungry.
A. P.
This was our first visit and we can't recommend highly enough such a great experience. The setting and view was gorgeous and only surpassed by the taste of the food.
Brendan, our waiter looked after us so well , top class service, look forward to our next visit.
T. B.
A great experience overall. The person who was looking after our table was very friendly and have a great sense of humour. Great view, the foods were good and the service was excellent.
E. J.
A lovely fulFILLING experience.
FOOD - simply scrumptious. Given this was our first time, we went for Banquet #1 and threw in the scallop dumpling. Firstly - if you think you are a big eater, you are incorrect. You are not... Not till you can put away this generous and delicious array of amazing flavours all at once. There is no need for additions. You will have food left over. Every course was great so next time we are trying the second banquet. A suggestion - go for steamed rice rather than fried. We were offered the option of the fried rice instead of the steamed rice for extra cost) and were told it is delicious. We took the offer and it really was delicious. But our palates needed a mild neutraliser to all the full flavours of the dishes.
The panna cotta dessert at the end became a lovely gentle palate cleanser though.
Our favourites from the banquet : 1. GOLD BAND SNAPPER, BRAISED W FERMENTED CHILLI & BLACK BEAN, 2. the BRAISED ROBBINS ISLAND WAGYU BRISKET, DAIKON & SALTED LEMON.
SERVICE - friendly, unpretentious, efficient.
AMBIENCE - fabulous, outdoor seating and all two seaters are along the rails that directly overlooks the river. Perfect most nights of the year.
S.
Oh my goodness, we came on Sunday for a birthday lunch and had their banquet. Our group of four didn't eat beef/pork and the chef willingly accommodated our requirements and substituted dishes without complaint. I thoroughly enjoyed every course and we all left satisfied. Will be coming back in December for the banquet again! Top spot overlooking the river and our waiter was fun and attentive!!
J. R. S.
We've wanted to go here for awhile and arranged to go for dinner a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was one of the nights that it was storming and we were seated outside just under the canopy. It was super windy and very cold (though we did appreciate the blankets they provided). We ordered a few small things to share (which were good but not amazing) but the environment was so miserable that we left much earlier than planned. We might try again in the future but there are many other options out there where you don't have to worry about the weather.
M.
Great here. I do recommend. But, had high expectations here. All dishes were great, no duds, but nothing was out of the level I would rave about. You won't be disappointed but you won't have your culinary appreciation thrown on its head. Very photogenic place.
B. H.
Regrettably 2 out of 3 guests that dined at Madame Wu became unwell with food poisoning symptoms after dining. Such a shame because we really enjoyed our evening until we got home and spent the following 2 days extremely unwell. We suspect the Kingfish Sashimi based on what the third person didn’t eat but can't be sure. Provided feedback to the restaurant via 2 different emails with no response as of yet. Hopeful, it was an isolated incident and no one else spent their New Years unwell like us.
M. L.
Madame Wu is our favorite restaurant in Brisbane. From the delicate and beautifully prepared scallop dumplings (a must have)to the fabulous Madame Wu fried rice. All dishes are beautifully presented and served by attentive and friendly staff. We love to sit back and enjoy the view, day and night, sipping on a cool wine from Madame Wu's great wine list. So easily found very close to Eagle Street Wharf, don't be put off by the stairs, you can slip behind them to the lift directly to the restaurant. Very helpful on the way down :-)
J. S.
Great meal, friendly attentive staff on a very busy night. They fitted us in at short notice with a table overlooking the water. Good sized portions and great flavours. The buttermilk line oysters were delightful.
I. J.
Fantastic experience. It was the seamless execution of simple things that really made our dinner at Madame Wu's one to remember. Firstly, we were a bit early for our reservation (30 mins) but the staff were accomodating and flagged we could go to our table early if we wanted. The wait staff were attentive to our needs without being annoying or wanting to be the main show. They recommended meals to try and helped us with our choices to a get a good sample of what the menu had to offer. Will definitely be back.
M. K.
We celebrated a special occasion in the red lantern room and had an absolutely fantastic time! Staff accommodated all of our requests were attentive with service and the food was outstanding as well as generous portions! All in all a fabulous time! Well done Madame Wu A+++++
C. K.
The good: location, decor, concept, the braised beef, the mushroom dish, and Wu Thai cocktail. Salmon was good too but nothing to shout about.
The not so great: the vegetables dish was bland and soggy, the pork belly was not appetising at all and lacking flavour too.
All in all, there was nothing particularly special about all the dishes.
M. M.
My partner and I dined here for our 10 year anniversary and can't speak highly enough about the food and the service... and the view! From the moment we entered we were shown to a wonderful table overlooking the water, and our waiter (Conrad?) was absolutely hilarious and made our night so much fun. We were even spoilt with a complimentary glass of champagne. The food.... well what can i say... with both of us being foodies we are a little fussy... and we were just blown away. The flavours and presentation were truly incredible. We can't wait to return!
M. L. A. L.
delicious food and good service - environment near the river is very pleasant
C. D. A.
Had the most wonderful lunchtime experience for a special birthday. Food and wine was delicious, beautifully timed and absolutely excellent service. Beautiful spot on the balcony. Special thanks to Dan who made us all feel very special - especially the birthday girl. Just perfect !!

😊The main meal was really big for me
😋You better order a steam rice when you have a mushroom soup. The soup so spicy.
Z. A.
Delicious. Fantastic service. Great view.
I’m a fan of the cocktails!
R. M.
We had my daughters 21st for Sunday lunch in the lantern room. I couldn’t speak more highly of Grace who was so helpful, efficient and friendly. The food was exceptional as was the service. Everybody who came to the party all thought exactly the same. We couldn’t recommend Madame Wu’s more highly and will definitely have our next event there. The lantern room is perfect for a sit down party of 25 and the $75 banquet very generous.
J. S.
We had a wonderful dining experience at Madame Wu! Ordered banquet #1 for two (including the dessert tasting plate for an extra $5 pp) and it was delicious! The portions were decent and a very good variety of foods! The desserts weren't very sweet but left us feeling satisfied overall :) The view is great too! Highly recommend this place!!
K. B.
One of best modern Asian fusion restaurants in Brisbane the food is prepared and presented like its going to be shown on TV. Don't be fooled by the look though because it tastes even better your palate will be in heaven from the first bite to the last mouthful. We chose the Lunch banquet which was a great way to first try an assortment of dishes absolutely delicious. Their drinks menu is extensive with cocktails to die for wines from local and international as are their beers. A big beautiful bar to unwind from the daily grind and a panoramic view across the river and the Story Bridge. Overall price location and service was 10 out of 10. Will be back without a doubt.
K. U.
Thank you for such an amazing dining experience! The food was delicious, service was exceptional and the view over the river is beautiful. A very enjoyable evening 😊
K. T.
Came here for dessert and coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and service we received. The desserts were rather interesting and tasty and the drinks were nice. Can’t wait to go back and try their non-dessert food.
F.
Madame Wu is pretty AMAZING! Their dumplings are incredible. The heirloom tomato salad seems understated, but don't be fooled. And who doesn't like super tender beef cheek with black beans&chilli sauce? I'm salivating just by writing this review.
C. P.
It was a very busy night at Madame Wu's and our first time there. I was half expecting a long wait for food and mediocre service as most venue's always struggle when heaving! Boy was I wrong! The service was second to none, the wait time for food quite acceptable, and the food itself, SUPERB! Gorgeous ambience and location - do yourself a favour - get to Madame Wu's!
A. U.
Exceptional, minus the dessert. Scallops, brisket and the brown fried rice too good! Amazing view and service , will happily return but will give dessert a miss - underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal
B. C.
Staff was very friendly, service was quick. We had our office Christmas Lunch here, booking the function was easy, and they accommodated some last minute changes. Food was great. Enjoyed the lunch immensely.
C. C.
The lunch banquet on Saturday was delicious! So much yummy food!. The service was also spot on. We were even offered a river view table when one became available. A great way to spend a Saturday!
K. D.
Madam Wu hits the trifecta of stunning location, yummy food and genuine service! And they had a full selection of vegan options :)
Y. X. C.
Upmarket Chinese restaurant situated on Eagle street Brisbane serving Chinese fare with a modern Australian twist at almost fine dining prices. While the prices are steep, I cannot fault the quality of the food. The fact that the place is almost always packed is a testament to that. They also have a good variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as well. Good food, good ambience and decent service. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
S. U.
Went for dinner with a group of friends early this week and had the $95 banquet. The view is beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious! I can't fault the service, food or atmosphere. A very enjoyable night and looking forward to vising again.
M. W.
Fantastic food - service not so fantastic.
When we spend almost $600 for a table of 4 we don't expect to have to get up and pour our own wine and water which is exactly what happened to us. The food was delicious as it always is but the service was well below average for the price you pay.
S. S.
A wonderful night out. The view was spectacular. The service was exceptional - friendly, professional & attentive. The food was first class - delicious & filling.
V. M.
Banquet#2. Food was amazing! Staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating. We highly recommend Madame Wu’s! Will definitely be back when in Brisbane again.
M.
Excellent food, very well presented. My husband and I ordered a buffet for 2, definitely not for those with a big appetite..very pricey too. When making a reservation I booked inside and normal seating but they gave us bar table and chairs... a bit disappointed ..Beautiful views friendly staff..
C. D.
Had a lovely anniversary dinner there last night.
First visit and will definitely be back.
Great service.
Great views of river and story bridge.
Dumplings and duck buns were the highlight of the food.
A. L.
We visited on Saturday 13th November 2021. The lunch banquet was amazing! So tasty, fresh and great value for money. Drinks, service and the location were also excellent. Thank you for making our day :) We will definately be back
M. W.
I would like to thank all of the staff at Madame Wu for making our visit a wonderfully memorable one. The staff are helpful, happy and attentive. The service was fantastic and the food and cocktails were amazing. I celebrated my birthday here with friends and it was an afternoon/evening to remember. Thank you!
p. r.
Very pleasant setting, very attentive staff (though we stood about at the door for 4 or 5 minutes while the attendant seated a prior arrival, it seemed nobody else could/would/should greet us in her stead).
We booked ahead (OpenTable) and the few points mentioned in our booking were acknowledged upon seating us.
Had the first of the two banquet options for two of us, and the food was delicious without exception. We tried a few (5 or 6) of the cocktails and they were also well made, well presented, fresh and delicious.
Our waitress was delightful and very attentive, engaging in some short conversations with us at points but not overstaying her welcome at all. A couple of ad-hoc requests were handled with aplomb (finding a dairy-free dessert alternative with zero notice for the final course, making a straight-up espresso martini rather than the fancy creamy one on the drink list). We were never left waiting for food or drinks, and likewise never found ourselves being rushed to get through anything. The other service staff we interacted with were all very pleasant too.
There is a nice wine list and a good selection of whiskeys too, including a few quite-expensive bottles with comparatively not-totally-eye-watering costs per glass which is nice.
Overall thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable and recommended. Definitely not cheap, but you can see the prices on their website so that should come as no surprise to anyone, and the cost is easily justified by the service, produce & location.
V. S.
We had our staff Christmas party for my Bytherules Team Noosa and Cairns. All of my staff travelled from afar and we were not disappointed. A fabulous evening, great food and the staff were extremely attentive, probably because there were 7 beautiful ladies at our table :)- Highly recommend for a private, work or anniversary dinner. We will be back next year. Thankyou Chefs and Staff.
Kindest Regards
Verelle
K. D.
Great food, great drinks and clever better service!
J. S.
This place blows my mind. Food is brilliant, great wine list and fantastic cocktails. Try and get a seat outside and enjoy the exceptional view of the river and bridge. Oh and the staff are super attentive and knowledgeable.
Guys take note if you want to impress your date take her here! 🥂
H. N.
All the dishes we tried were divine. The dumplings and buns were different to the standard ones you’d get from yum cha which was refreshing. The smoked roast duck was very tasty and the snapper was also a choice.
R. M.
We had a beautiful anniversary dinner at Madame Wu's. The meal was outstanding, the service delightful and personal, and the venue spectacular in spite of the night being showery, cool and windy,
Best snapper in an Asian dish that I have ever had!
Highly recommended!
L. B.
Been to this restaurant several times over the years and I always enjoy it. Wether it is for an anniversary or a birthday madam Wu never disappoint with it's nice athmosphere and amazing food. The meat is cooked to perfection where it can even be cut with chopsticks yet still retain a crispy exterior.
They served us tonight at a reasonable speed and very very attentive with water refills and how we enjoyed our night. There was a large party behind us and the inquired if we would like to relocate to another spot in the venue in case the noise was too much for us, we politely declined as it was not an issue.
Will come back many times in the future.
E. W.
Definitely a bit more on the expensive side, but 100% worth it. Would recommend for a special occasion, or even just a treat yourself night. We indulged in the banquet and were not disappointed. The extra $5 for the dessert tasting plate was well worth it as well! Probably one thing to mention is that the alcoholic drinks will cost you a pretty penny and I wouldn't recommend having more than one, as a dark and stormy cost my partner $21 and he had two, and we really couldn't justify $42 on just two drinks! However, I think that's the only downside I can think of with our experience.
N. k. S.
Food was good and affordable price
E. K.
Came here right after we finish dinner for a quick drink. In the end ordered the oysters and beef tartare. Oysters came with garnishes but I can't remember what and it was refreshing! Beef tartare have a bit of kick to it and came with seaweed and crackers which is a great combination. Service was good and the view is amazing.

Perfect spot and food amazing. The wait staff were very busy but attentive. Great to know they will change out selections in the banquets for you....Well done Wu.
K. G.
What an absolutely spectactular restaurant! We spent a fantastic Saturday afternoon with a perfect outlook over the Brisbane River, the food was amazing and the service was extremely professional but friendly....highly recommend sharing a range of the smaller plates and the Madame Wu Cocktail!
M. S.
Madame Wu has always been one of Brisbanes better restaurants. But after our latest visit we now regard it as one of Brisbanes best restaurants. The changes to the menu since our last visit have elevated the food to a new high.
Thanks for making our daughters 18th birthday very special.
G. M.
This is a great Asian restaurant by the riverside. The food is exquisite, the Moreton bay bug dumpling is a delightful dish. The beef cheek literally melt in your mouth and the special fried rice is very filling. The service is very friendly and accommodating.
S. M.
We had a staff lunch. Most of us had the banquet which was fantastic. Grace our waitress, was brilliant. Very efficient.
Thanks Grace and Madame Wu!
D. B.
LOVE coming to Madame Wu! Highly recommend their banquets. Delicious food, great wine and friendly service!
S. H.
Great restaurant overlooking the Brisbane river. Food is always fabulous and the staff friendly and attentive, would highly recommend.
D. S.
The whole experience was fantastic!
The banquet was delicious with great portion sizes. The food just kept coming out so your not left waiting for the next course. We didn’t have an option to order separate meals (this may have been because we were a group of 6). However, this was great as we were able to taste a variety of items on the menu.

We booked for a family birthday and were very, very impressed with the first class food, absolutely fantastic customer service and great river views. Thank you to the wonderful staff for their extra effort in making my wife's birthday celebration special.
S. A.
We went on Friday night for our anniversary .4 of us awesome view of Bridge. Food fantastic .service exceptional already looking to book again and telling friends and family it's a must to go .
L. D.
What a wonderful experience, nothing to fault……great service, scrumptious food, lovely view and great vibe. I am coeliac and the menu was varied. My husband is ‘normal’ and we both had a great experience. The bug meat with coeliac sauce, friend rice, brisket, greens…the flavours won’t let you down. Lovely special birthday experience. Will definitely return 😉
B. P.
Had a magical night on Friday - celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Staff accommodated an earlier reservation and had fantastic service from our waiter. Food was incredible. Will be back for sure.
D. K.
Spectacular cuisine. Chilli black bean snapper to DIE for. Great menus including pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan. Attentive service and the best view in town. Perfect birthday lunch.
E. A.
Amazing food, great location, awesome staff.
Special thanks to Alisa for being a super caring lady.
M. L.
Absolutely gorgeous experience celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary overlooking Brisbane River and Story Bridge. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful night ( thank you Alisia), complementary champagne and food was a gastronomical experience to delight the senses. We tried the banquet with the dessert tasting plate. Fantastic!!! Will definitely return.
L. S.
Great Lunch Banquet and innovative cocktails. Recommend the Chilli Margarita and a seat on the balcony. Great view and service. Our waiter Parker was wonderful.
A stunning long lunch. Easy access from Riverside Ferry Terminal.
A. B.
Sensational food. Awesome service. Terrific view over the river to the Story Bridge. Great atmosphere. Can not talk highly enough of this fantastic restaurant.
D. M.
Amazing restaurant with phenomenal staff!
I held an event with 28 people in attendance and the level of detail and attentiveness was excellent.
I would not hesitate to organise my next event or dine there again.
a. m.
It was my 45th birthday and I wanted a vibrant location, with fantastic food and a joyous atmosphere. Madam Wu you delivered. All of my friends had a wonderful time and we are already planning another night out as a couple to your restaurant as we are craving some fo the dishes. Thank you!
C. S.
Always consistently good. Best lunch with views of the river. Great banquet. Excellent service and the chicken ribs are soo good.
D. S.
Had a great night out here, food is amazing, the banquet provided more than enough choices and quantity. Will gladly return for another night out!
G. M.
I hosted an event for 35 people at Madame Wu's River View area: The cocktails were amazing, the banquet menu was delicious with generous portions and the chef was wonderful at accommodating dietary requirements.The service from Dan and his team was excellent and really, it''s what made the night a stand out: Parker serviced our area and was attentive, polite and an all round super star. The team were great with communicating throughout the night and incredibly professional. I would highly recommend this venue and look forward to returning soon.
L. H.
Amazing food, good choices, fantastic decor and view. The only downside this visit was the service was slow with drinks and clearing up.
G. W.
Asian fusion... Some of the combination of flavours were a bit strange to me. The place was super busy on a Friday evening but the staff was still attentive and friendly. I went solo and was rather under dressed compared to the crowd.
N. G.
Absolutely amazing food, excellent service. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and gave us just the right amount of attention to make it feel like we could call out to order additional things anytime we needed and also right amount of space so that we did not feel rushed around to order

The food was full of flavour! Beautiful setting and delicious food. Highly recommend Madame Wu if you’re looking for something a little more intimate, with a touch on Asian fusion cuisine.
Thank you for having us. We’ll be sure to come back again! ☺️
A. H.
Good location, food and service. A bit hit and miss with food choices on this visit, however I'd still recomend as a nice dining option.
D. P.
Booked for a surprise birthday dinner for a friend - service was impecable, food was outstanding (we had the banquet 1) and the location and atmosphere all we could want. Thank you Madame Wu for a wonderful experience!
C. C.
Exceptional service, amazing cuisine and a rockstar location. We were immediately seated and the wait staff were some of the best in the business. Professional, attentive and knowledgeable made this dining experience one too remember.
PRO TIP: Week nights are exceptional here. Worth checking the BCC website for Story Bridge lights for an ultra magical evening.
G. Z.
Genuinely some of the best modern Asian dishes... Lovely & attentive staff too!
J. M.
Exceptional. Busy Friday lunch with the restaurant full of patrons and our waitress Lily treated us as if we were the only people in the restaurant. We had the lunch banquet. So delicious. Ample serving for two ( we unfortunately couldn’t fit it all in). First time visit for me. We will return.
R. n. S.
Delicious food as always and absolutely outstanding service. Our one small issue was dealt with in the best possible way. I can't wait to visit again.
J. A.
Extremely happy with our experience at Madame Wu. Everything we ordered tasted great. Food came out quickly and customer service was awesome.
F. F.
Literally the nicest food we have had in ages. Staff were sooo amazing too.
E. B.
I booked a table for a birthday celebration for my wife. We were led to a balcony view which was magnificent. The wine list was fantastic, the service was exceptional, and the food was even better. We had a range of entrees and mains, all were exceptional. Every staff member paid attention to my wife and said happy birthday. I scored brownie points big time. One of the most memorable dinners for a long while!
H. L.
We shared the $70 banquet and the food was wonderful, and very generous portions. I could not fault any of the staff, everyone was so lovely. I have always loved Madame Wu and will definitely return. The stunning view also adds to the experience!!
X. H.
A fantastic special venue for Chinese food, on special occasions. Take a group with you as the flavours can be quite heavy, better shared and eaten in bites! The beef tartare was top notch.
L. O.
Thank you Madame Wu. We had the private room booked for a Hens lunch, the same day Brisbane went into lockdown. As such numerous people couldn't attend but you were very accomodating... As usual delish food, drinks and great service.
E. C.
I absolutely love this place! We book through Ruth (so happy she is back)…always provides us with amazing service and a seamless transaction on our group bookings. The food is amazing and the banquets are the best bang for your buck in eagle street! Can’t wait to go back!
J. B.
We had the banquet 2 for our anniversary and it was all fantastic. Good atmosphere and great food. The banquet provided a nice variety of dishes and flavours, our favourite was the wok fried bug meat. Would definitely reccomend for a special night out.
G. E.
Initially we were allocated a table with no view. However after revealing we were from interstate our request for a table with a view was granted. The view was amazing, tables well spaced and Lilly our waitress was engaging, warm and professional. We had the $70 banquet. The range of flavours was exceptional and in the end the quantity was beyond us but overall a very satisfying experience enhanced by the quality of service. Highly recommended.
G. C.
Amazing food and amazing service. Could not leave a better review! Will definitely be back for another special occasion
H. S.
My partner and I had a lovely dinner on Saturday night. The service was impeccable and the banquet was amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience! Great location, views, service and quality dining.
E. H.
We had a wonderful evening celebrating my sister in law’s 40th birthday. Had the banquet which was a delicious selection of food and fabulous way to try lots of the menu. Our waiter made the night - he made our experience fun and we all had plenty of laughs. Will definitely be back! Thanks for a great night!
D. S.
Beautiful restaurant on the water. Class and devine food. The dumplings and the sauce they're in, heaven!! The entire meal was just gorgeous and the service so friendly. Couldn't fault a single thing here even the cleanliness of the toilets. Well done 👏
X. W.
Perfect view if sitting at the balcony. Food are not bad, love the stir fried mushroom. Staff are attentive and helpful although it was quite busy.
V. V.
The food and the service was great! We had a banquet and every dish was most enjoyable. Bottles of standard wine were priced a lot higher than I would normally expect for a restaurant.
M. M.
What a delightful lunch we experienced yesterday. Booking online I was able to ask for a good table a a special favour for the 63 yo birthday boy who doesn’t eat out often as well as cater for food allergies. All so easy. The service was attentive - nothing was too much trouble - our server Parker even took the blame for an omission we realised later was probably our fault! Above and beyond! At the end of the meal they dressed up the birthday boy’s dessert plate and added a sparkler and a happy birthday song - without me even asking! What? Amazing! Oh btw the food was a joy. I think I could go there every day just for the kingfish sashimi. Thanks Madame Wu.
k. m.
amazing food and nothing is ever a problem - been to this great restaurant many times - in a private room and also just with friends and family - service is sensational, staff are lovely and the view is something else
J. L.
We celebrated our daughter's 16th birthday with a Sunday lunch in the function room . The function room was absolutely beautiful, with views to the river and beautiful decor. It was a feast for the eyes.
The weekend lunch banquet was sensational. The servings were generous and the food delicious. Our wonderful waitress Amra was simply lovely, and ensured we were looked after in a dedicated and sensitive way. I highly recommend anyone trying this fabulous restaurant.
Thank you Madame Wu staff for a 16th birthday our daughter will always remember.
R. K.
We went to lunch at Madame Wu's on Friday and had the banquet. The food and service were fantastic - very enjoyable experience for us all in a terrific location..
A. B.
Whilst visiting from Sydney we decided to go to Madame Wu for their lunch banquet. The appetisers were delicious. The mains were also packed full of flavour and the service was excellent. Friendly staff, great views and a nice ambience.
B. R.
Always go here for a some sort of celebration, last night was my 6th time here and we got the banquet, always amazing food never eaten a bad meal here. Do recommend highly
S. L. K.
Overall quiet delicious. But little bit too salty and too sweet for me as a person who prefers blend food with mild flavours.
S. B.
Great food & location, for me the wait staff & service made it, never waiting for food or drinks.
Lunch banquet was more than I could finish
K. C.
Can't beat the view and the ambience at this place. The food does not disappoint either. Their duck buns have got to be the best in town! They've got a great wine and cocktail list too.
B. H.
Simple to say our experience was wonderful. Lilly our waitress was amazing after Kat welcomed us to a special lunch. The service was fantastic and followed up with incredible food. Lilly made the experience special and she is a great asset for Madame Wu 👏👏👏
M. C.
What a lovely experience,- beautiful food! Our favorites, the duck buns & the the kingfish sashimi Monday 21st June, The lunch service was top notch! thank you for my birthday surprise jelly donut, we will be back!
M. H.
The perfect place for a midday Saturday Birthday lunch with friends seated on the balcony overlooking the Brisbane River. The food, simply divine, the service was impeccable, bubbles and laughter flowing, a magical afternoon! Thank you team Madame Wu! 🎂🍸🥂💝
m. t.
Lovely staff, great food, beaut river view. We had a wonderful lunch.
S. T.
The service and food here is second to none. Would definitely recommend. There's no better place to appreciate the views of the Storey Bridge or the Brisbane River
B. S.
Rocked up on a Sunday evening. Got a table for 6. Great service and fantastic tasting food.
P. D.
Fantastic service and the food was delicious. The team did a great job ensuring that my father in law had a wonderful 70th birthday experience.
L.
Everytime I visit the food is always amazing! My fav is the beef cheeks but the rest of my company usually go for the banquet and leave the restaurant raving about the food!! This time I tried the dessert platter (see pic) loved 2 of the 4 types. It definitely has Asian flavours which was a delight. I wasn't super keen on the chocolate brownie one. But the chocolate fans were!
C. S. Q. W.
Everything was great, we had a lovely time here. The food was wholesome. The service was the best, Lily was our wait hostess that afternoon and her level of attentiveness and courtesy was outstanding, nothing was too much. Would recommend the lunch banquet
C. E.
Asian fusion with a touch of class, rounded out with a superb view. The chicken ribs (yes, you read correctly) are surprisingly fun and flavoursome, and good enough for some in our party to have as mains. The beef cheeks were beautifully tender and delicious, as was the pork. I did feel a little like 'Manu'and would have loved a little more of the sauce to have with those two dishes, to really enjoy the mix of flavours. Also, do try the cocktails, the 'Madame Wu' for lychee-lovers and 'The Other Left' is for those who love their bourbon and Kahlua!
C. F.
Perfect combination of location, service and quality food. Thank you to the whole team at Madam Wu for making our night special, will absolutely be coming back!
A. W.
Food was great! Staff were very friendly. Great view from the al fresco dining area.
D. M.
A friend came to stay with me from the country and we had not seen each other for a very long time. It's taken me 12 years to get her to come and stay. We chatted with Lilli our waitress and upon hearing this story, she waited until a table with a view became available, moved us and was the most attentive, delightful server. It was such a treat for my friend and the food was absolutely delicious. What a treasure of a restaurant to have in Brisbane.
A. S.
AMAZING food and service. First time dining and I will certainly be back :)
J. F.
Had dinner for four last Saturday night. Food was excellent. Only outdone by the service provided by our waitress, Lilli - she was outstanding. Only blight on the night was that half of the restaurant was given over to a Private Function (a younger crowd birthday) who were not entirely seated and therefore extremely noisy the entire time. Like having a crowded bar over your shoulder all night. Not what you expect to endure when you are paying for a fine dining experience. Management needs to communicate any such functions in same room with future guests - or I simply won't take the punt next time. One last go. JAF
A. N.
Fancy yumcha is what i thought of it.
Great staffs with great customer service and riverside view is pretty nice.
D. W.
Had an amazing experience dining at this venue. The quality of food was only surpassed by the service of our waiter Dan. I’ve never been so entertained with such wittty banter from someone serving us. The service from all staff was exceptional and the food was absolutely delicious. We could not fault it and would highly recommend visiting this place. We will most definitely be going back.
M. S.
I thoroughly enjoyed the banquet lunch on Saturday. The staff were excellent, friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and the whole experience was wonderful. I will certainly be promoting Madame Wu's restaurant to family and friends. A fabulous experience!
S. M.
It is always a pleasure to visit your beautiful restaurant and indulge in your magnificent food. If and when restrictions are removed we will be back.

Rating would be a 2.5 if able to display. Friday night booking for 6 was a very average.
Was not advised of banquet only dining (in ability to change seafood out for one person unable to eat it and given the high set price) or the required time limit. The food was mixed in quality - the ocean trout salad, mushrooms, chicken ribs were amazing however the salmon was fishy and not in a good way, the pork was bland and the staff rushing us did not make for a good experience. Cocktails were disappointing lacking taste and watery, across the table we had three different ones and all were the same regarding the lack of flavour.
Disappointing given prior experience that Madame Wu’s was great.
C. H.
My wife and I had a lovely evening this week, the food was excellent and the service provided by Lilly, was exceptional.
We really appreciated not to be referred to as "Guys" but Ma'am and 'Sir'. We also received a birthday treat for my wife, a wonderful evening, thank you Madam Wu and staff.
J. S.
Thankyou for another amazing dining experience! As usual, the manager and wait staff were delightful and attentive; friendly and accommodating. We held another of our client functions in the private dining room, the food was amazing and the service was spot on. We've been dining at Madame Wu since they opened and will continue to dine with them as we and our clients always enjoy a great experience.
J. D.
Beautiful setting looking towards Story Bridge & Brisbane River. Service was good and the waitress we had knew how to engage with us. And of course the food OMG it was amazing and so tasty, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!
C. “. m. n. c. M. n. c.
We had a wonderful Father’s Day banquet lunch. Beautiful food and excellent service. Plus a kids banquet as well!
K. R.
Third time dining here and as always...delicious! We had banquet #2 however it did not come with the chicken ribs which are my favourite, wish these were included in every option. Can't wait to come back again!!
l.
We have been here a few times and it is easily one of our favourite restaurants. Amazing food and always amazing staff. It was my wife and I’s second wedding anniversary and it was made a memorable one. We were taught how to properly enjoy and taste a red wine, and we were looked after by our lovely waitress all night.
We will always highly recommend this restaurant. 3/4 visits later and we don’t have a single negative thing to mention.
K. K.
Fantastic place to celebrate an anniversary. The food was incredible, and the service made the night even better.
N. y. B.
We were treated like royalty throughout the night. Service was swift and attentive. Food was consistently excellent with the bug meat and the wagyu dimpling being the standouts for me. Having said that, there were no real 'rockstar' dishes. Everything was of a very high standard, but nothing rose above the pack. Wines and cocktails were excellent and they have the best view in Brisbane. Very noisy, not the place for a romantic evening, better for larger groups. We will be back next time we are in town.
M. H.
After being recommended to go for a special occasion, its not what I expected for a special function ie a ladys birthday. Highlighted when booking that it was a birthday and I was informed that we'd get a good table. Pushed to the side near the southern wall! Others who came in after & sat at the table next to us, complained/requested to be relocated and got front row.... exactly where I thought we'd be sitting!! Food was acceptable but nothing outstanding & service was a 2 star performance. Other's received a "happy birthday cake" but not us!! Disappointed and felt flat for what should've been a exceptional experience.
T. B.
Thank you so much Madame Wu for a wonderful night. We were sat at a table with a view and was offered the most wonderful service by Lily. Truly appreciated that you had a GF menu and you have mocktails available. The food was a 10/10 and cannot wait for the next time we visit!
J. R.
Food was good, service was superb! A friend that I was dining with had the duck and it was a little over done. I had the pork (pictured) and it was great.
L. M.
Great food. Large servings sides. Lovely views
A. B.
Fabulous night out at Madam Wu! The banquet option was very generous - we couldn't finish everything despite it being so delicious! Staff were very attentive and friendly. Would recommend the duck buns and the mushroom dish - our absolute highlights.
R. R.
Visiting from South Australia this was our first dining experience in Brisbane and we weren’t disappointed. Recommend the banquet 2 for an all round great taste of everything on offer . We left full and content . The service was terrific as well . Well done girls
T. H.
The banquet #2 is hands down the food ive had in a long time! service was great, food was fantastic, cocktails are awesome and we had a good view of the river. It was lively but because of the setting could still have conversation at the table easily. 10/10 would go again
J. L.
Brilliant location, fantastic food everytime and wonderfully genuine staff. A brilliant experience each time we go.
T.
Visiting from Sydney to attend lunch at Madam Wu. Absolutely gobsmacked at the level of service, friendliness and delicious cuisine . Grace and Maria deserve a gold star in their professionalism, high quality of service and knowledge of the menu. This clearly stems from Dan who sets the standard from the get go. Highly recommend Madam Wu to anyone that needs a relief from the mundane to be transported into hospitality utopia for a special treat. Seriously love these guys and can’t wait to return.
C. (.
Great food, but the service not so much..
The waiter took forever to take our order for both dinner as well as dessert (by which time the restaurant was nearly empty), to the point we thought he may have forgotten us!
But the biggest disappointment of the evening was when they brought our dessert and entirely forgot that I made a birthday request, specially after we saw so many others celebrating their bdays. How hard is it to get a candle on a slice of cake??
After all the good reviews we heard we were very excited to finally try this restaurant on a special occasion, but while the food was simply wonderful, for an establishment of this calibre we expected a lot better service wise.
C. P.
Lots of Staff on hand and genuinely pleasant, the drinks menu is well appointed and well-priced with pints of some beers being only 50c more than the pubs. The food is good although portions are on the small side (even for a fancy place) we did the $90 degustation menu and left wanting supper.
L. V.
Food is always delicious! Really beautiful. Drinks are fantastic. Staff are warm, welcoming and helpful. Worth it for the view alone, but it's so much better than that!
T. B.
Booked my friends hens night here (booked months in advance). Found the staff extremely rude from the beginning of the night. I had asked previously if one of our party could go earlier in the day, to set up some balloons and decorations for our table. We were advised he could arrive 15minutes prior to our booking, which did not leave a lot of time. So our poor friend is there trying to blow up helium balloons on his own, and then a senior member of staff comes over and tells him to stop blowing them up, because it's making too much noise and disturbing the other guests (there was barely anyone in the restaurant at this point). So because of this, our table wasn't ready for when the bride to be arrived. 6 of us had the banquet and 2 ordered seperate due to dietary requirements. The food was lovely and faultless. But quite a while to wait between courses. They restaurant automatically gave us bottled water (when we asked for tap) and then tried to charge us $9 per bottle at the end of the night (which we disputed and got taken off the bill), but the lady serving us was clearly not in a good mood and also seemed quite rude. Overall nice food, but for a table spending almost $700 (and paying someone's wages), you'd think they might be a bit more polite to customers (especially during covid).
C. G.
Food and service absolutely amazing! It was our first anniversary with our newborn - the experience we had was absolutely amazing - we are so thankful. The food was absolutely incredible, and you won’t find a better view in Brisbane. Our server is worth her weight in gold - so friendly, thank you! Cannot wait to be back :). Grant & Courtney Redmond
D. G.
Had banquet #2 for a Valentine’s day eve dinner. Great service, nice ambience. Majority of the dishes were tasty but nothing outstanding. Whilst enjoyable, we’re in no rush to return.
S. H.
My husband and I shared the $40 lunch banquet - it was huge! Not to mention delicious. And with a lovely view overlooking the storey bridge too.
i. h. l. V.
My only downside of Mme Wu, would be finding the place. The food itself cannot be challenged. I did the Banquet #2 which just knocks you out for delicacy & piquancy of flavours. If you can score a balcony table, do it! The view just makes the experience all the better
J. K.
Alina was the best host we could have possibly have hoped for! She was on top of everything, drinks and food were very well attended too, and her charm was second to none! Will definitely be back here purely for her service!
D. W.
Went there for a lunch banquet and it was great quality food for outstanding value
S.
As a high class, quality restaurant, this place fulfils what it promises on the menu and more
I’m not that obsessed or into asian food, but not one thing we ordered here disappointed! What they offer lives up to the standards and more (again)
Staff are quite friendly and helpful too, though I wish they checked on us a little more often as at times we had to wait a little to be seen
But quality of the food and the atmosphere is incredible and I couldn’t recommend it more
There’s also inside and the outdoor area to choose from which is another great thing about this place
The menu is also simple, and yet simply amazing
Not too many options but trust me you’ll get stuck to choose from their awesome starters and main dishes
1001% recommended and worth the money
N. H.
We got the lunch banquet for $40pp. The food was amazing. We enjoyed every dish they served, but the duck for me was the best. The starter beef dumplings were also good. I also ordered a madame wu cocktail but unfortunately found it a bit watery. I couldn't taste the vanilla vodka. I recommend the food!
G.
Had a fantastic experience here on the weekend celebrating a family occasion. The food as always was brilliant (we ordered the banquet), the manager was so lovely and personable and made sure our family were really well looked after (even saying goodbye before he left and wishing my siblings a happy birthday), and the views are the best in Brisbane. Highly recommend a visit here!
C. W.
Trout Salad and Duck Buns were delicious, service great, view awesome. Please go along to try yourself you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a lovely evening in Brisbane City.

Great restaurant with story bridge views! A huge fan of bao duck buns 😋
M. S.
Had a fabulous Sunday afternoon Mothers Day lunch at Madame Wu's. Beautiful food, great views and superb service. One of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane. Thanks got a great afternoon guys.
J. D.
We had an amazing time at Madame Wu, the service was great and our waitress was attentive but not overboard. And the food was delicious, we ordered from the menu, shared entrees and had our own mains. Highly recommend Madame Wu for the location, service and of course the food!
A. K.
Braised beef just fell apart in your mouth, the broth was delicious and hearty. Great for the colder weather. Wu's special fried rice was sooo good and so was the so was the braised gold band snapper. Will be back for sure.
S.
Had a girls night here on Saturday night. The food was stunning and the service was fabulous. One of my friends is allergic to garlic and while this was not stipulated at time of booking the staff ALL went out of their way to accommodate her with her own special menu. Thank you
S. L.
I first visited Madam Wu nearly 2 years ago and it was time for another visit as this place is often booked out on Friday and Saturday Nights, and for good reason. It is one of the best restaurants in Brisbane. Again we chose a banquet and it did not disappoint at all. Some people are shocked to see me eat salad and beans, but when they put the type of seasoning on these items, they are no longer boring greens but sumptuous delicacies. We had Snapper on this menu and it was absolutely brilliantly cooked., the Pork Belly was sensational. The service from the staff was excellent and they genuinely were pleased to be there. Yes we did buy Wine this time around and I believe it is now much better value but still top quality. You also cannot beat the view over the river and it has a superb happy atmosphere. With food this good, of course there should be. You must try it out. This is where Aussie tastes meet Asian brilliance.
l.
Make sure you do the set menu! Fabulous location, great service, fabulous cocktails and a great set menu!
T. S.
We had our business Christmas Lunch at Madame Wu's, in the Red Lantern Room. We were so well taken care of and the food was amazing! Thank you so much for making our end of year celebrations so great! A particular shout out to Jevin, our waiter, who took great care of us the entire time. Looking forward to our next visit! :)
J. N.
Wonderful lunch in wonderful location. Not the first time I've been to Madam Wu and won’t be the last. Great value set lunch menu but we went for a la carte. Fabulous dumplings, and the salmon and brisket mains were superb. Service just right. Pleasantly surprised at how well priced the wines were too.
S. R.
Had the $90 banquet as celebratory dinner for our anniversary.
Couldnt fault a thing.
Waitress just the right amount of attention without overkill.

We will definitely be back.
Loved it!!

Had been planning to come to this restaurant for 3 years and never made it... Now we have and WOW it was worth the wait!!
Food amazingly delish! Friendly staff. Amazing atmosphere with fantastic views of the river. Very good. Minor complaint - alcohol prices very heavily inflated.
S. C.
Really good food, great location and the staff were brilliant.

Perfect experience
We had a small party of 3 and had originally booked a table downstairs at another restaurant but came to Madam Wu's because they would not take us early for a drink.
The service and welcome from the staff at Madam Wu's made us want to stay here instead and we are so glad we did.
Food, view, cocktails and service was exceptional and we had an amazing night.
D. R.
My wife and I ordered the banquet each which was basically a degustation. Food was absolutely devine and as a big guy, I struggled to finish the very last dish.
L. L.
Brilliant food, fast service, immaculate view and a great atmosphere. Thanks for looking after us - we will be back again!

Great views of the Brisbane river. Degustation food was nice but the Xo sauce should not be too much as it was overpowering the main protein. Otherwise food was good.

Came here with some mates a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed with the food and service. The banquet 1 was really well priced for the amount of food you get and the pork buns are to die for!

After a long list of suggestions
Madame Wu stood out to us as a venue to select to enjoy a beautiful night and indulge with incredible food with simply stunning Views overlooking the Brisbane river twinkling night lights
The menu is just on another level
The flavours are just incredible you are left wanting more and more
Taste buds in overload from the fire crackers of flavours and juice hits going off with every bite
We had gone with the $90 pp set menu
To taste as much as we could possibly try
In one sitting, every single meal was just left us shocked with how much details and elements every plate came with
We had such a beautiful table booked at 7pm
Watching the night life of Brisbane city emerge
And enjoyed the most spectacular light show coming from the storm overhead
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit when in Brisbane we shall be back

We have been here a few times and it is easily one of our favourite restaurants. Amazing food and always amazing staff. It was my wife and I’s second wedding anniversary and it was made a memorable one. We were taught how to properly enjoy …

110% Satisfaction.
My partner and I booked a banquet dinner at Madame Wu for our second anniversary, pre-ordered food and drinks, and everything was absolutely perfect. We had amazing views of the story bridge and a wide variety of flavours throughout the banquet, the Madame Wu cocktail is an absolute must. A big thankyou to the staff for making our special night extra special.
D. F.
Food, Service and Atmosphere all on point! Madame Wu never fails to impress. We took some out of town guest and they loved it. Views of the river and Kangaroo Cliffs really show BNE off. We had the set menu and each course out did the next and portion size was more than ample. We will be back! THANK you team!
D. R.
Amazing food, chose the banquet and was not disappointed. Great service!!

We dined at Madame Wu's yesterday and had the $40 banquet. More than enough food which was delicious. However, the staff (waiters) were the real highlight. Definately take someone there if you want to impress them as the staff are excellent and the food, a very high standard.
R. W.
The restaurant and food was good but the serving sizes for the price was out of control - for two people the food bill alone was $180 and we left hungry
W.
It is a really authentic Chinese restaurant. The food tasted really delicious. It has a good view of the Brisbane river. However, I find the table is really tiny. We had a lot trouble put all our food on the table. It is not as expensive as other fine dining restaurant on Eagle St. I love the tofu spicy soup (see my photo). I will consider going back there again. I just didn't like eating on a tiny table. It feels so clumsy and uncomfortable. I know they can fit more tiny tables and more profitable this way. But people are here to enjoy fine dining and want to feel comfortable and relaxed.
K. P.
I had my husbands 50th in the private room. Cedric was the most wonderful host. There was NEVER an empty glass. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone went above and beyond. The setting has magical views and the attention to detail is incredible. We were delighted any had an absolutely fabulous night. The food was incredibly tasty, and every guests dietary requirements were meant with diligence and respect.
Thanks so much, Cedric.

We celebrated my sons 18th at Madam Wu's a few days ago and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff were very attentive and went out of their way to ensure he had a wonderful time. I had asked if it was possible to be seated outdoors and we had everything we asked for. Food was wonderful and really great value, drinks were never left empty and there were smiles all round. Thank you for creating a wonderful memory for the day.

Wonderful service, excellent food, and fantastic views of the Story Bridge! My partner and I are vegan and Madame Wu has a delicious vegan menu :)
B. J.
Fabulous food and service, only gripe would be the music....too techno and loud.
T. B.
Absolutely superb meal and service, not to mention the beautiful setting.
H. G.
Excellent combination of food, drinks, views, service etc. Perfect for a business lunch/dinner. Very tasty asian fusion combo's and very decent portion sizes combined with a drinks list that features good quality wines at reasonable price levels even if it is not on the business amex. Overlooking the river and the Story Bridge so equally suited to impress at dinner.
B. C.
Thank you so much for making my birthday dinner amazing. Food was exquisite, service fantastic and thoughtful to bring out a birthday shot and sparklers on a happy birthday plate to celebrate. Will definitely be back. Thank you xo
M. W.
Just excellent - the service, warm engaging staff, views amazing of bridge and river ...and of course the food didn't disappoint, loved every lip-smacking mouthful and will def be back to savor more dishes.
T. N.
Good variety of chinese food selection. Great view of the stony bridge and brisbane river.
J. B.
Went with 14 people for my Mum's 70th . We all had the best time. Food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Everything from the booking to the meal was easy and nothing was too much trouble.
D. P.
The food was really delicious. We had the $70pp banquet and loved the rice crusted beef cheeks and the dumplings; amazing flavours. While everything was really nice, I don't know, but I feel something could be done to make the experience more impressive overall. The wait staff were nice and one of them knew quite a bit about wine. But to turn this review into a 5 star a little more polish would have been nice - each meal described with more passion and detail as it's brought to the table; some ambient music maybe. I'm being picky, I know! :)
R. R.
A great location and the food was superb. Wine list is good but the mark up on the modest end of the selection I noted was about 20% more for the same wine in other restaurants I visit in the CBD. Not a deal breaker when the food is so good but takes the edge off the experience.
S. W.
My partner and I had the banquet, all food was amazing. Great serving sizes and the service was excellent.
Will def be back.
R. P.
Great Dining experience in every way. Delicious and interesting food, great venue and staff were very efficient and friendly. We will be back !!!
L. P.
I cannot fault the food, our group had a wonderful time and enjoyed every dish served to us from entrees to desserts. Service was excellent and attentive. I will definitely be back to sample those delicious meals again.
***My only criticism was the way the gentleman in charge at the desk spoke to some of the staff. I felt he was a little harsh and abrupt after a couple of little mishaps when they were all very busy and trying their best.
T. F.
Fab Lunch for a special birthday celebration. We had the Lunch Banquet Special, and an extra order of the Duck (not needed, but so so good) and many many wines and a few cocktails. All the while, the staff were patient and attentive, putting up with our regaling each other (probably loudly, but by that time most other tables had left). This is one of my favourite dining spots in Brisbane, and have never been disappointed.
S. S.
Bland and boring. We had the $70 banquet. No real fresh spices or flavour. A lot of the dishes were cooked several hours before. On top of that they hit you with a $7 surcharge for paying with your credit card. Won’t go back-you’re basically paying for the river view.
M. M.
We organised a team dinner here for ~18 people and opted for the $70pp banquet. The quality of food was a very high standard. Portion sizes were generous and the banquet proved good value for money. We were assisted by a very pleasant and engaging server, Charles. Thank you for the hospitality!
J. s.
Absolutely loved this place. Fantastic food and amazing service! The banquet menu options are of high quality and decently portioned. No photos because I was enjoying the food and company too much.
S. O.
Another wonderful experience at Madam Wu's. The food was divine, service impeccable and of course the wine compliments everything (including the view). Can't wait to come back!
L. T.
Had an awesome time here, great views and awesome entrees. Recommend the trout salad and beef cheek. The only let downs were the:
Oysters - big price, big shell, very tiny oyster and buried by far too much green jelly - didn't really work for us.
The Bug - 50 bucks, couldn't taste the bug it was just too overpowered by too much flavor that didn't make sense - not worth your while.
Service was good at the start, one of the staff members at the counter was a bit rude and not very friendly on the way out. Overall, had a good time and views were a 10/10
L. S.
Can't fault Madame Wu's. Food scrumptious - we had Banquet 1; staff very friendly despite being so busy; wine list great and the view is to die for. We had a fabulous night there Saturday night. Will definitely be back. Great to show off Brisbane and its food to overseas guests.
z. b.
Madam Wu is hands down one of the best restaurants I've ever been to and all without the crazy price tag to match.
If you get the chance to go there, jump at it.
N. L.
We came here for my partners birthday and the server went above and beyond anything I could have expected. Getting a table with a great view. To helping me surprise my partner with dessert and singing him happy birthday. It was remarkable customer experience. Along with that the banquet meal was delicious, unique flavour and mouthwatering veggies. The pork belly was tender. The dumplings were divine. Thank you for your amazing service, we really appreciate it.
J. S.
Had the lunch banquet which was lovely and very goof value at $40 per person. Great cocktails, service and river views. Highly recommend to others.
M. P.
Loved the experience. Service was outstanding. Bug meat dish was a little disappointing - meat was dry and the deep fried nature of the dish made it very heavy. But that was minor really. The sashimi entree was divine. I'll be back!
J. G.
Went there for Melbourne Cup. As usual they didnt disapoint with food or service.
S. B.
Food, service, cocktails and view were all spectacular!! Highly recommend for everyone, including vegans. Usually my selections are limited, however, my meal was the talk of the table. Soooo yumi!
S. P. P.
Perfect all round. Wonderful venue with great riverside outlooks. Exceptional service, outstanding food. A highly recommended restaurant.
L. G.
Lovely location and atmosphere. The food was delicious. All the staff were very kind and engaging. They had a great knowledge of the menu and allergens. The staff were particularly thoughtful in assisting us to celebrate a special birthday. Thanks again for a wonderful evening.
G. R.
Another amazing feast. Exceptional, food, view and service. Can’t wait to return.
K. N.
Madame Wu is one of the best places I have dined at with the best atmosphere and view of the story bridge. The waiters and waitresses were very kind and helpful, and the food was beyond delicious. They are able to accomodate to all requirements (i.e. allergies and dietary - vegan). They are also very quick with responses and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for the great service.
M. O.
Yummy banquet food & wine and the best, most attentive service from Grace. So much fun, can’t wait to come back
J. C. F.
Had the banquet lunch with friends today and it's excellent value, so varied and delicious and plenty of it, with one of the best views in Bris. Service was welcoming and absolutely attentive to our every whim, even managing to keep up with the demand for bulk ice to add to the Semillon from my strange bestie. Will definitely be back to try the duck!
C. D.
Had our work Christmas lunch in the Red Lantern Room. Food was amazing, staff attentive down to every last detail including finding us a table at the bar after lunch. Worth every penny we will definitely be coming back.
S. M.
The food was fantastic. A great combination of unique flavours, complemented by excellent service. Highly recommend!!
G. S.
Definitely my favourite Asian infused restaurant. Food and service is always fabulous. Great backdrop with the story bridge. Thanks for a great experience.
P. O. C. G.
Amazing service, our waitress Kaiya in particular was amazing! Food was also delicious, however expect an expensive dinner. Definitely recommend the banquet if you want to try a lot of things for a cheaper price. Cocktails were also nice, nothing out of the ordinary. Great spot for dates or special occasions, the view is great! Overall a great place to go every once in a while!
A. O.
Fabulous banquet luncheon for a special birthday celebration. Wonderful setting and very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend Madam Wu's.
A. K.
We made a reservation the night before for an Anniversary dinner and although it was last minute, the manager was very accommodating and gave us a table with a great view as well as complimentary champagne.
We were recommended to try the Banquet #1 and we loved it- it was a great way to try different dishes from the menu (our favourites were the chicken ribs, beef cheeks & steamed cashew bun).
Overall, we were very pleased with the level of customer service and of course, the food!
M. W.
First catch up with friends since COVID began and the visit reminded me of why I was a regular visitor to Madame Wu...fabulous service, sensational food, gorgeous setting, chilled wines and tasty cocktails - all the perfect ingredients for a wonderful night. I was also lucky enough to be sharing the experience with great friends too. Thanks, Madame Wu.
M. I.
Arriving for a catch-up dinner with our friends from interstate, we were warmly greeted and seated at a table with a gorgeous view of the river. Staff were attentive and professional and the food was excellent. The food is the rockstar of this restaurant ! We had the bugs - outstanding; the scallops - perfect but the snapper!! OMG!! There. Are. No. Words. Thanks for a great evening Madam Wu. We had an amazing catch up with our friends who were very impressed!
t. s.
Excellent value for money via Entertainment app. Great food - the test is always “could I cook this at home?” And the answer here is no! We had the lunch banquet and it was very well balanced. The staff are excellent, attentive and cheerful. Always a pleasure.
R. B.
We came here for dinner when we were in the city for our 47th wedding anniversary. A very nice meal for both of us but also great service from the lovely young lady from Barcelona who was waitress at our table.
Her comment on my wife's elegant dress on first entry was appreciated
She was always attentive to all her tables and still had the time to chat while doing her job.
She even presented us with a gift of a glass of bubbles each when she found it was our anniversary.
A great experience.
G. L.
Awesome food. Good service and great location.
T. D.
Celebrated my birthday at Madame Wu during the week...and it was honestly perfect. I made the booking online and was able to leave a note about a dairy intolerance for one of the people at our table. The staff were so friendly throughout the whole day, they explained what on the menu was suitable for intolerances and with great detail too. We took advantage of the $40 lunch banquet and it was so delicious! Everyone was really happy with the food, view and exceptional service. Thank you also for the extra special touches to make me feel like the ultimate birthday girl, it was the best way to celebrate! :)
A. O.
Madame Wu has great location near river and terrific food. Lunch special was good value and the service was excellent. On Thursday lunchtime it was packed on outside deck.
J.
Fantastic service and excellent food!! They were really accomodating to our young family and had a highchair for our youngest. I would definitely come back again, we loved it!
S. B.
We had a fab Christmas Eve . Food and service were brilliant. Since moving to Brisbane in 2019 your restaurant has become one of our favourites. See you in 2021.
S.
We had the $90 pp banquet menu for our wedding anniversary this week. The quality and variety of food was amazing, the cocktails were delicious (the slogroni and absolute killer!) and the service was impeccable. We had a lovely Colombian waiter from Santa Marta - an absolute gem. Thank you
S. d.
Always a lovely place to enter. Love the food. Thank you
L. A.
Amazing food, service + a seperate GF Menu available ❤️
C. L.
I was fortunate to visit Madame Wu's on a georgous Brisbane afternoon. The view over the river to the bridge was only improved by the banquet of food. The presentation and taste was perfect. Service was unobtrusive and friendly. What topped off the afternoon was the occasional mist over the balcony. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to give this place more than a few tries.
E. B. H.
After a long list of suggestions
Madame Wu stood out to us as a venue to select to enjoy a beautiful night and indulge with incredible food with simply stunning Views overlooking the Brisbane …
賢.
There are only 2 things I did not enjoy/like about this place:
1. The drinks we got were absolutely terrible, not enough alcohol (maybe half a shot was used or less) so I essentially ended up with a milk cocktail.
2. The table staff stole my water jug which was annoying considering they were happy to bother me to offer more alcohol.
See! Not so bad!
The food was delicious, the view was great, the interior design was nice, the atmosphere was good too! All good! Will come again for the beef cheeks!
Would have been 5 star review if it wasn't for the 2 drink issues (if you can even call them that).
J. L.
After having some great experiences at Madame Wu, I took my sister there for the first time to celebrate her 40th birthday.
Booking online was easy and despite being busy on a Friday lunchtime it was private and quiet enough for conversation.
The food was perfect in both the presentation and the diverse subtlety of flavours; the service was prompt and friendly and without asking the waiter overheard us talking about a particular drink and we were pleasantly surprised when he brought one over compliments of the house and wished her happy birthday.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience to celebrate a milestone birthday.
S. G.
$70pp banquet was superb. Wonderful range of dishes all delicious! Staff were attentive and friendly and went the extra mile to celebrate a special event.
G. B.
Very much enjoyed the mother's day banquet with my wife and children which was beautiful food and reasonably priced. Service was excellent.
T. P.
Went for special celebration. Had the banquet for 2 and it was superb. The cocktails are great too. Asian cuisine but not your typical dishes. Great service too. And got an excellent table with a view of the river.
M.
We went their for our anniversary dinner. The staff were lovely, proactive and very helpful. The food is a bit on the expensive side but everything we ate was delicious with a lovely view. We also got two complimentary drinks for our anniversary celebrations. Would definitely return !
S. B.
Thank you for an awesome experience at Madame Wu. The food was amazing and we were very well looked after by the staff. It was also such a lovely finishing touch to have dessert sample plate brought to the table with a sparkler, for my daughter, whose birthday it was. I am from Perth, but am still looking forward to eating here again!
C. P.
I go to madame wu on a regular basis. The quality never changes and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I’ve been going to madame wu for years and and it has never changed. I highly recommend it
A. S.
We had the 11 course degustation and it was fantastic and so were the views. We’ll be back.
J. T.
Booked a table for two on Monday’s which is not busy at all.
General, we had a good experience at this place but nothing surprised me.
We ordered two glass of wines and a pint of beer. Drinks here are really expensive and they don’t to BYO. But the selected wines are great while beer is just normal.
For sides, we ordered duck bun, and mushroom stir fried with tofu. Both of them are great. Two mains are snapper and lamb. The lamb is a bit dry and not of very much flavour. Not recommend.
We also ordered the special fried rice which is more like a Thai fried rice.
Can’t finish finally but you can’t take away. So maybe you should have your own containers next time or just order less food.
The bill goes to 160 at then end for two.
G. S.
Enjoyed a Sunday lunch with my family at Madame Wu. The staff were excellent with service and recommendations - not intrusive, very helpful with menu. Food was outstanding, and overlooking the Brisbane River on a fine winter’s days was an added bonus. Well done!!
J. C.
Happy, friendly staff who were up for a good chat and a laugh. Really accommodating kitchen who produced a beautiful meal (we got Banquet 1). Extremely generous portions, whilst still giving special care and attention to every ingredient. And who could go past that spectacular view!
We had a really, really wonderful evening - thank you so much!
T. V.
I visited for my shared birthday with a few colleagues. We did the banquet and our waiter was more than accommodating for dietary requirements. We had excellent service and the food was delicious. The portion size for the banquet was perfect for the 4 of us sharing. A great night!
R. N.
Another very enjoyable evening at Madame Wu - delicious food & drinks, friendly service & the wonderful ambience and view of the beautiful Brisbane river! What’s not to love!
D. O.
All superbe: the sauce with the fried dumpling caressed the back palate and the pork hock was a crispy indulgence. I found some of the dishes rather difficult to manage with chopsticks but the waitperson quickly supplied fork and spoon. Looking forward to next time!
C. C.
We had a group of 15 in the private dining room and enjoyed the Banquet. The food was fantastic as always and the service was excellent, a huge thank you to Anna and the team who look after us. We will definitely be back!
D. S.
We had the lunch banquet menu. Great value at $40 per person, everyone was quite full. Food was delicious, staff were great and river views were superb!
W. W.
Organised a surprise birthday for my wife in the Red Lantern Room. Excellent service and very good food. Nice view of the river. A great evening!
D. C.
All staff members were most attentive & informative on the food & wine menus. Obviously visiting during Covid-19 the check-in was required online and the wine menu was also obtainable on line too. The food was absolutely delicious from wo to go! A big thank you to all.
T. P.
We came for my Mum's birthday and everything was fantastic! We had some food intolerances to work around and the waitress was amazing with sorting this out for us and the lunch banquet was delicious (and more than we could eat) - thanks for an awesome dining experience.
M. M.
Three for lunch on Sunday. Very nice setting. Great view. Trawled through the menu but the special banquet looked perfect. The food....delicious. All of it. Perfect sized portions....we had to go for a long walk afterwards to work it off. Staff were friendly and efficient. Wine we initially ordered was not in stock. Definitely heading back.
K. E.
Incredible. Venue, food, service- everything was perfect! One of my favorite meals I’ve had in Brisbane.
S. L.
I loved eating here! The food is so delicious, great flavours and lots to choose from - definitely recommend going with a few people so you get to try as many things as you can off the menu! Lovely seating area and fun restaurant, absolutely worth visiting! I can't wait to visit again!
R. F.
Had a great meal and wine on Tuesday night, a great selection of entrées and mains hit the right spot. Great 2008 Cabernet sauvignon from the cellar. 2nd time there and both evenings have been excellent.
C. G.
Caught up with a dear friend whom I had not seen for 40 years and who had never visited Brisbane. Decided to take her to Madame Wu's for a fabulous view and amazing food. Got both, but sad to advise that the service received from the Asian manager was substandard, and almost rude. Eye contact without a smile or any facial acknowledgement or greeting, and when he was asked by my friend if he could please take a photo for us, did not say one word, took my phone, took the photo, put the phone on the table, then walked off. Good customer service. NOT.
L. V.
Lovely modern Asian experience. Beautiful river views. Diverse flavour sensations with interesting twists on the classics. We ordered our own tasting banquet of deslicous starters to share and left content. Our Irish waiter, who's name escapes me sorry, was a gun. Great experience and priced accordingly.
S. G.
The vegetarian options were amazing. My carnivorous friends were equally as impressed with their food. Of the four dishes I got all were packed full of flavour. The staff are brilliant with plenty of good advice on dishes and drink pairing. Great location looking out over the river. You must try the braised mushroom main, it's individually one of the best dishes I've eaten. Hands down one of the best meals I've had in Brisbane. Highly recommended!
C. G.
Went with a small group for a couple of birthdays. We had the banquet and was fantastic. The chicken ribs I could eat any day, sooo good. Also highly recommend the miss Wu cocktail. Even though it was packed the waiters were awesome and friendly and happy to help out, especially with our multiple cocktail orders :), give it a go was a great night out
B. H.
This was a little above average dining experience. We had the $90 banquet for 2. There were no outstanding dishes. Our expectations were not met. The dishes were a little confusing and although presented nicely the meals tasted average without being great. The asian influence of each dish failed to make me wanting more. As far as the dining room is concerned, we were outside on the deck. I felt slightly uncomfortable during the night as there are no fans, and if the breeze isn't blowing, it can get a little too warm. And I was lightly dressed.
Table service and staff were pleasent however I think there are better places to blow nearly $200 on dinner for 2 that still leaves you feeling hungry. I wouldn't go back, and probably wouldn't recommend. Once is enough.
J. A.
Went here with a group of friends for my birthday last September and it was excellent!!!
We couldn't fault it - the food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful and we got a great buffet deal because there was a big group of us. The manager was very accommodating when it came to choosing a set menu and they have a great selection of cocktails. I have gone back a few times since with friends and work colleagues and have never been disappointed. What more could you want - thinking of booking it again this year for my 30th! :)
Thank you Madam Wu's
Sandra
D. B.
Food was good but there was no “soup” in the bug dumplings so a little bit dry! Pork and barramundi were delicious. Excellent service but the girl did not show you the bottle from which your glass of wine originated! Could have been cask wine for all I know! Furthermore although we booked one week in advance we were given a miserable high table by the open door with an Arctic (do I mean Antarctic) wind blowing through! Maybe I am being too fussy
A. S.
Madame Wu is our go to for a special occasion dinner. Our most recent visit was on our first wedding anniversary. The food was amazing and the team attentive but not intrusive. Great view to the Storey Bridge. Highly recommend.
J. T.
Food was great. Views were better, but the staff made the night. Thank you guys for an enjoyable evening. Singing my lovely wife happy birthday was so far beyond what I could have expected on such a busy evening.
P. G.
What an awesome place a must see for anyone living or travelling to Brisbane.
Booked a table for 6 for my partners birthday and had a view of the story bridge on the balcony which was a great start.
We had the $65 banquet and the food was delicious they also catered for a few friends who didn’t like pork which was really nice and replaced those meals with something else.
We had a really nice red at a good price (the stag st Hubert’s Pinot noir I think) which was really nice and the food was very good.
Everyone left completely full and satisfied and the food really is delicious top quality and worth the price.
A. M.
Exceptional service and attention to detail, particularly for good intolerance. Lovely dining experience. Only reason it wasn't a 5-star is that the food was a little underwhelming in taste for the whole table. But the Excellent service and beautiful view is enough to make me come back.
R. W.
This is our second time dining here and again we had an awesome experience, it was my wife's birthday and our waitress went out of her way to make our day special. The food as always was fantastic. We will obviously be back. Rachel and Kristie 😁
F. F.
My husband and I were excited to have Sunday lunch after the reopening of Madame Wu. Although the menu was limited we still found plenty of delicious (and GF) food and the service was excellent. Looking forward to another Sunday lunch when the duck is back!
K. L.
Dined with 8 friends, had the $65 banquet, plenty of food, amazing, loved it.
Staff were very friendly, efficient and attentive.
Best table in the house. Great venue for a special occasion.
Will definitely go back.
Loved it!
P. D.
Great location and view of Brisbane River.
A little confused of what the restaurant was , Asian cuisine presented like a western style meal, wasn't really satisfied , had a number of small meals but nothing stood out as wanting more.
Staff were polite and efficient.
Would I go back again ! Probably not.
J. A.
Celebrated a birthday with some friends. Nice venue, calm ambience, attentive waitstaff, plenty of options for those fussy eaters. Very popular so book early. Very tasty, we’ll be back
T. L.
The scenery is great, the food delicious and the atmosphere is inviting. I tried their $65 banquet and while it seems pricey it really is worth the money - I left with a full and satisfied stomach. With the banquet you really get to try so many different flavours and styles, from fresh and vibrant salads to barramundi and even beef cheeks.
Being dubbed a contemporary Asian restaurant I came with the expectation of tasty and distinct Asian dishes yet i unfortunately did not find that here. However, the subtle taste of Asian flavours combined with a modern twist really does make for interesting and delightful dishes.
Overall it was worth it and so if you are looking to try new things and can handle a bit of spice then be sure to hit this place up!
D. D.
We had an amazing lunch to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Will definitely be going back again soon and telling all our friends about it. The view is amazing and the service was great.
H. W.
Had an amazing Buffett meal at Madam Wu. The staff are so lovely and friendly to deal with. Our food came out right on time and love the atmosphere.
Great experience and highly recommend it 👍
M. R.
Another great dining experience was had celebrating our anniversary. We dine at least twice a year and our host, Juan, was the right balance of professional and friendly. The lunch banquet had many of our favourites including the chicken ribs. We will be back.
A. J.
Food and service was excellent. We booked the private venue and it was a great experience for all the guests and myself.
L. L.
Brilliant food, fast service, immaculate view and a great atmosphere. Thanks for looking after us - we will be back again!
H. C.
I hosted a business dinner for 5. We chose the banquet which was a very simple way to please everyone. The food & range of dishes that came out was terrific. Staff very pleasant. Good vibe about the place & great views. Recommend to anyone.
S. F.
Had the banquet menu at lunch and the food was divine. The staff were wonderful and the view was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant.
A. W.
Delicious vegetarian - always consistently fabulous. Just wish they had a greater selection of vegetarian main dishes, then it would be 5 stars. Great place for spectacular river view and a special meal out.
M. s.
Good place Great service Fantastic food definitely be back
J.
We had the 70$ per person banquet for dinner, and it was so worth it! It had a good variety of dishes, and they were all so tasty. The cocktails were also amazing. Highly recommend!
R. T.
While the food itself is ok, each time I've been here the fixed banquet style menu seems to create chaos for groups.
The wait staff aren't really able to explain what's included or what the options are. Servings are brought to the table sporadically with no information on what it is, which set it's part of, how many people it's to serve, whether there's more to come, etc. And the atmosphere and table arrangements make it difficult to order drinks, or anything else you might want.
For small groups (4 people or under) it might be ok, especially if you sit inside. And again the food is decent, not amazing, but an interesting combination of Asian and western food that it'd be worth trying in a nicer environment.
v. w.
We did enjoy our experience, atmosphere and everything but our waiter came across as rude, loud and unapologetic when we inquired if there were children's meals we could get for our 9 year old son who refused to eat any of the food we ordered.
R. M.
We ate at Madam Wu’s for dinner on Wednesday night- the location is stunning with a large covered balcony area that has extensive views out over the Brisbane river and down to the Story Bridge. We opted to sit outside on the balcony and the views at night with the Story Bridge lit up did not disappoint. The staff were attentive and efficient and the wine/drinks list is expansive. All the starters we had were great- scallop dumplings, moreton bay bug dumplings and duck buns. Although the mains were all good (wok fried prawns in XO sauce, steamed barramundi, stir fried mushrooms), the roasted duck with steamed Bol choy & peanut sauce was my stand out dish. Overall Madame Wu is an lovely Asian fusion dining experience and it would be difficult to make a bad choice from their menu.
M. W.
Seriously love this place so much! First went here for an aniversary dinner with my partner and we have been back a few times since. Awesome vibe, amazing food and reasonably priced. If your looking for a romantic dinner you can sit outside with a beautiful view of the river and story bridge. Good selection of drinks too ! Defiantly highly recommend checking out if you haven’t already 😁
S. M.
Went here yesterday for lunch with friends for 2 birthdays. Wow it's amazing, ticks all the boxes. Dined on the balcony, what a view! Food was excellent, OMG you have to try the scallop dumplings, beautiful. Everyone loved their food, I had the barramundi in chilli infused oil and cauliflower puree, a beautifully balanced meal with a side of sugar snap peas in miso butter. Cuisine is a wonderful asian fusion style. We had a surprise sparkler come out in the desserts with waiters singing "happy birthday", such a lovely touch. There was a stand out waiter and that was Pablo our columbian waiter. What wonderful customer service he provided, very personable, very attentive, lovely interaction with us, and always smiling, nothing too much trouble. This place will not disappoint. Enjoy!
a. b.
Loved it, worked on the river for over 3 years and never been, heard so many good things from customers so thought I'd give it a try with friends up from the coast. Great service, exceptional food...way too much food, but that's a good thing right? Thankyou Isabelle and Ashleigh👍👍
Andy
H. B.
Love the sort of cuisine. Great location. Good service. Attentive but not too pushy. Love love modern Asian banquet style dining and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had. Chicken and duck were amazing
S. R.
Amazing food. Authentic Chinese made with local produce. Also some very lovely unique cocktails to try all with a view of the river. Service at the door wasn't the best but our waitress was lovely.
L. S.
Enjoyed lunch with the current restrictions of social distancing onboard as at 21.3.20 - Madame Wu's staff followed the guidelines of separation firstly, secondly the food prepared was delicious and the waiters gave the exact attention needed during these uncertain times. Thank you so much to the staff of Madame Wu's who made my my birthday lunch enjoyable and safe
L. L.
Sitting outdoor looking over the vista and river is a pleasant way to dine. The service as always is efficient and friendly but I get the feeling its losing its punch with the food as you are encouraged to order the banquet which is ok but I sense the meal with greatest profit margin and not the best that theycould produce. So I would suggest going, but ordering a la carte and no banquet
H. S.
Experience was amazing and the the team enjoyed their evening
J. H.
Delicious food, great view. Staff were very nice, and you will not go hungry. We had the banquet and everything was great and was more food than we could eat.
S.
I had the $40 set menu for the 2nd time yesterday at lunch and it was great again. The chicken is beautiful!! Service was great and wine was reasonably priced. Definitely taking my husband next time. Thanks
D. K. (.
I say this with love and affection, but this is Asian food for white Australians. It is good, but lacking in authenticity.
That said, the food is strong and the service is excellent, and it’s hard to beat the view. Just go in with your eyes open and expect more of a fusion-style (they don’t hide this fact, just want to be clear)

Great food and an exceptional venue. We dined on the verandah overlooking the Brisbane River, and I cannot speak highly enough of the overall experience. Great food, location and service. 10/10

The food was exquisite particularly the beef cheeks and barramundi. The banquet was perfect for the four of us. The accompanying wines were also perfect. Atmosphere was lively without being too noisy. Will definitely be back.

There for a Saturday lunch , table of 9. A good wine list , but also presented well .. have good storage/cellaring and care . Good whiskies list, ditto, requests were met. Food patchy , from forgettable to good .. but either overpriced for the quality , or underperforming for the price. Service ordinary , not a demanding table but hard to get the eye of staff for basics like more rice or more drinks... table attention poor. No tip given. Ok but would not race to recommend Madam Wu. Cheers . Cob

Ate here for dinner on the 1st june. 3rd time this year. And as always, its amazing. Tonight was made more special in the fact that I was meeting my girlfriend's parents for the first time. The setting, the food and the service was amazing and really impressed the parents with my choice of restaurant. As a Head Chef, I know how important food is to setting a mood.
Bravo to Madame Wu and David Lee. Couldn't be more impressed

If you are after the best view in Brisbane to spend an evening, no place would beat Madame Wu. The quality of the food is just superb. The banquet is highly recommended, especially don't miss the dumplings. The beef cheek is the one you should definitely try. And wait for the dessert to see how they can finish the course so perfectly.

Perfect place for our first anniversary. The food, the location, the service...I can't say enough about this place. Thank you for helping make our special night even better

I’ve eaten here a few times, only once by choice. The other times were for work functions. The staff are generally pretty good - some of the younger ones don’t want to be there but that’s standard for that age group. The food is ok but not outstanding. The flavours are all a little bit confusing and generally not all that amazing.

Unfortunately it seems Madame Wu has taken a turn or we were just out of luck. I went here for a girls night and we ordered a variety of dishes, including a dry and almost crisp dumpling, soggy textured rice rolls and overall not great meal considering how refined their dishes used to be. The service does not match the fine dining experience they're charging. Hopefully they'll look to refresh the staff and menu.

Madame Wu is an excellent restaurant situated on the Brisbane river. Exquisite cuisine at a reasonable price. Went to dinner for two and I had a wonderful evening. The staff were lovely, the food was great, and most importantly the bathrooms were impeccable

My wife and I had an excellent wedding anniversary meal. We stayed in Brisbane for 7 days and Madame Wu was the highlight meal of the week

Love the water view, the food and staff members are awesome. The environment feel is relaxing and comfort to enjoy a fancy food and wine. Strongly recommend.

Beautiful food, wonderful location. The staff were very friendly helpful. We are very pleased. Loved the Candy man cocktails!

This is the 2nd time I have eaten here. Memories of the 1st time were far better than last night. Great view and atmosphere. Cocktails were unbalanced. We ordered the lobster dumplings and sashimi for entree. Both good but nothing special or memorable. $20 for 4 dumplings = ridiculous. $25 for 3 bites of sashimi = ridiculous. Lamb for main was as good as a local pub. Barramandi was bland. Can't understand the excellent reviews!!! Some Eagle st pier restaurants are extremely average food and this is one of them. Don't recommend. Go to Aria or Blackbird instead.
K. L.
Amazing food, loved the atmosphere and they have the staff were very accommodating 100% will be back
J. G.
The ambiance and the view is excellent. That's certainly reflected in the price. Food - style labelled as Modern Asia Food - needs to find the focus. The presentation is great, the taste is average. More like of the experiments using Asia ingredient with western twist. Disappointing.

Took some friends here for dinner tonight - I'd been before, they hadn't. Absolutely fabulous experience as always. My friends loved the restaurant, the food and the service, as did I. Highly recommend the rice-crusted wagyu beef brisket. Our waitress went above and beyond - even organised a dairy-free dessert for me not on the menu. Can't wait to go back!

Have been to Madame Wu’s previously and it was so good decided to celebrate our 25 wedding anniversary there. Did not disappoint- stunning views, great food and excellent customer service. Love this place!

Have bee there on several occasions, and the meal and service is always 10/10. Would highly recommend that you try this restaurant, as I am sure that you will not be disappointed. Excellent service and flavours. It is our favourite restaurant in Brisbane,

Food and service is good, expect to pay about $75 per person.
Food was good but I was expecting more throw backs to traditional spicy/ chilli oil Chinese. The pork and barramundi I had were both similar to a fancy dinning experience at a restaurant that is not Chinese.
The dumplings however were really good, wholesome and unique, but only 4 :(
The rice that was ordered seemed out of place here as the dishes were minimalistic and were a little hard to mix with rice but I managed.
Highlights: the service, the dumplings and scraping up the delish sauce left by the dumplings, yum! More of this poured over everything please!
And almost two heaters per outdoor table was a nice surprise.
Lows: portion size a little small, could do with more spicy saucy goodness. If I went again I’d maybe order lots of dumplings rather than mains.

The lunch special is amazing and the staff more than friendly
Lily is wonderful, excellent service
Thank you, I will come back

My favourite restaurant along Brisbane's Riverside. Madame Wu has exceptional views of the river and Storey Bridge. The food is always fantastic and the cocktails are delicious. Great for couples or groups, especially for anniversaries and birthdays.
C. G.
Lovely view of the bridge, nice and airy balcony space, maître d' is a touch snitty but that's par for the course when accommodating large groups. Very attentive and responsive staff. Food is consistently above average and they don't shy on the portions. Affordable for what it is.
