Booked a table for 2 at 12pm on the 1st of Jan and the experience was fantastic. Great warm welcoming host, fantastic and attentive staff, and delicious looking and tasting food. The floor manager is helpful and all waiters that assisted us were vibrant, friendly and added to the experience. The vegetarian selection is incredible so we will always come back for more.

My partner and I ate at Lotus Barangaroo for Valentines Day and ordered the Valentines Day Banquet. $118 pp with a set menu and glass of NV Delamere Sparkling Rosé on arrival. The price is a bit steep but it’s Valentine’s Day and the set menu has 11 different meals in the banquet, well worth it if you ask me. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the location as well, Barangaroo is always a treat! Full reviews and thoughts are captioned on the photos so read on! The staff at this restaurant are so helpful and attentive to us while dining also, always taking the finished plates away in a timely manner and checking in with us on the meal making sure we were satisfied with our experience. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful dinning experience! Great presentations and delicious meal.😋 Attentive staffs and nice ambience. Would love to try the other dishes next time ! Will definitely visit again .

M. C.

Really good views just outside the restaurant, they have heaters above the outdoor seating area. We got the $119 set course for the night, it was definitely enough food, but not sure if it was worth it xD Taste was kinda average for me tbh, the first sashimi dish was my favourite though! I forgot to take pictures of every dish but most are here :) 10% surcharge for groups over 8 I think and we went on Saturday and it was quite busy and really loud there so if you wanted to have a nice quiet slow dinner then might have to think again!

First time eating at Lotus and it was such an amazing experience. We all loved the food. Masterstock crispy pork with Thai chili was specially delicius. Also the wok fried hokkien noodles. Salmon sashimi with apple ponzu 🤤🤤 Well, pretty much everything. The staff was lovely and very friendly. We started getting our food in less than 5min after placing the order. I wished some portions were a little bit bigger for the price we paid for them. I recommend to book beforehand since it is a very popular restaurant.

A. S.

Delicious Asian fusion cuisine, wide variety of dishes, friendly and attentive service. Fantastic for groups. Great ambience and Barangaroo waterfront location. Recommended.

D. F.

Average chinese food with a hefty price tag. The service was ok, however it felt extremely rushed with the wait staff dumping the bill straight after the dessert had finished.

A.

Lovely outdoor venue in Barangaroo! Had some of the Mardi Gras specials which were very delicious! Peking duck was my favourite dish as well as the squid ink dumplings! Lychee mocktail was nice but not as sweet as it sounds - would recommend the floral mocktail if you prefer sweet drinks

A. B.

We enjoyed our dining experience here. The food was good and there was a nice ambience. The portions were large and well spiced Lots of food options for everyone with vegan and vegetarian options available. The service was OK but could be more polite. The location is great with a nice view of the water and it is close to the ferry. Would recommend a visit for sure.

This place is one of, if not, my favourite place to dine at in Barangaroo. The view from this place at sunset is just gorgeous but unfortunately, we missed it this time round. The banquet is the easiest thing to order, as you get to experience some of their signature dishes. We went for the $89 banquet which seemed pretty generous serving wise! We started off the evening with ‘Tasmanian Ocean Trout sashimi with apple ponzu, pickled mustard seeds and shiso’. It was absolutely gorgeous. Fresh and the mix of flavours was just divine. We were then served some ‘Vegetable and tofu spring rolls’ which were nice and crispy on the outside. Next came the dumplings, ‘Lobster, scallop & squid ink’ and ‘BBQ duck & spinach dumplings’. I mean, I could eat a thousand of the squid ink dumplings as they’re my favourite! The ‘Singapore chilli soft shell crab’ is always a winner for me. There is just enough chilli to give the dish a little kick but not ruin the flavour of it. Squeeze a little lime and lord, it’s heaven in your mouth! I only ask they should double the serving because it’s so good. Then came the ‘Wok fried black pepper beef with broccolini, corn and truffle oil’, ‘Steamed fish fillet with ginger and shallot’ and ‘Steamed Asian greens’. The beef was cooked to perfection and was full of flavour. The fish was cooked very well but the flavours were nothing to get excited about. Both dishes paired well with the steamed greens and boiled rice though! Not included in the banquet, we ordered some dessert to finish off the evening. ‘Mango sorbet, coconut foam, rice crackle, blueberry & ume.’ When it came to the table, we were a little underwhelmed by the presentation until we took a spoon to it.. the colour inside just popped! It was fresh and it’s exactly what we needed after dinner. If you haven’t been to this place yet, book a table and try and get it just as the sun sets. It’s just gorgeous.

Location is very good with water view. I picked the place for our team lunch because all tables are outdoor, which is safer during covid. We tried $99 banquets. The portion is big and everyone enjoyed the dishes. There are half Asian and half non-Asian in our team. All dishes are nice with a few that really surprised us. The masterstock crispy pork with Thais Chili caramel is amazing! I never tried a crispy pork belly in this taste. The pork is so tender and the chili caramel brings me to haven. Eggplant is another highlight. Normally eggplant tastes good with lots of oil especially in Asian cooking. Interestingly this eggplant is tasty but not oily at all. Not sure how did the chef marinated the taste into it. I love it!

G. K.

Absolutely amazing food and service! Went there for a corporate function & birthday lunch. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The vegetarian replacement on the set menu was delicious. It blown my mind! It was some eggplant, and mushrooms. I did not know veggie can be so tasty! We had a lovely and fantastic experience. Thank you

S. G.

Pros - Great location, good ambiance, courteous staff.. Cons - taste and presentation of food is as normal as any other takeaway restaurant.. taste-wise food was below average to average... Had a bad experience with grilled king prawns.. wasn’t fresh... smelly.. had to leave the dish after a bite..

D. P.

What can I say, superior establishment in a super location. Front row table and first class service. We had a fantastic evening. Although I'm not a big fan of the type of cuisine served, my guests couldn't have been happier. Am very happy to recommend this place.

손.

Every food was yummy and drinking was good and kind worker !

j. h.

Great food, nice house wine.

R. N.

Good food, the lamb cutlets were too raw, fish was steamed and not so tasty. Chicken was really nice and yum, fried rice was really nice too. Wines were too overpriced. But other than the food the service was terrible, our glasses were empty for quite a while, they were in rush so much by keep asking if we are finished and want to take the half empty plates.

M. N.

Our group of 4 enjoyed the banquet. Unfortunately, the dishes were all hastily thrust on the table as the staff appeared in a rush to clear the restaurant. The staff could do with a personality boost as they let down the great food.

A. B.

We Dined on Sunday Lunch for my 60th Birthday with friend. First time at this restaurant and certainly won’t be my last. The food was exceptional and Staff outstanding. We all walked away with a great feeling and were talking about the food the next day. A big thank you to Macey for making my day special.

H. H.

Very tasty dishes and nice cocktails. Professional service to top it off. Prices are pretty high even for Barangaroo, portions are small as well even for fine dining.

J. R. (.

Oh my gosh, this was a really good meal! Our group of 5 ordered shared dishes including dumpling entrees (soft and tasty), build-your own duck pancakes (crispy and fresh), beef short ribs (nice and soft), Salt and Pepper Tofu with a sesame sauce, and Kung Pao chicken (spicy) with a side of fried rice. We all agreed that it was a delightful lunch.

J. E.

We walked in with no booking. They find us a great table. The food and service could not be faulted. We ready enjoyed the evening. We will return again and would highly recommend.

J. W. K.

After walking along darling harbour and seeing all food options available, Lotus interested us the most and did not disappoint! They had great GF options and all dishes we had were perfectly balanced in flavour. The waiters were super friendly and bubbly. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

A. C.

Amazing food. All dishes are up to 110% Asian cuisine standard and even exceeded, as tasted amazing. Just no good service. We waiting for a good 30mins to order our food (understand it’s a Friday night night c’on you could do better) And no tips left as we have bad service. But KUDOS to the kitchen guys, amazing job!

J. A.

Great outlook and the food was fantastic. We got the banquet and this is a lot of food...more than we could eat anyway. I'd recommend selecting from the menu, chilli crab was a hit at our table!

S. W.

Food is delicious, all the staff were attentive excluding Antonio. I am sorry to say but I never seen such a kind like him. Very rude and doesn't know what we call "customer service ". I am saying this not as a customer but as a person who work in retail and service industries for over 10years.

S. J.

Great food, sitting next to the water… I was travelling and staying in Barangaroo in Sydney and took my clients for dinner at Lotus Barangaroo. I’m a vegetarian and they had many options to eat from. Their veg dumplings and bao’s were absolutely amazing. All 5 of us enjoyed our food a lot. We didn’t eat desserts though, but entrée and mains were delicious.

J. L.

The service was excellent, location is lovely although the lack of an indoor dining option on a hot day wasn’t great. The food service was prompt and the ingredients very fresh and very tasty.

M. T.

Fantastic food, rushed service. Ordered the banquet, entrée dishes came out immediately after bringing our pre lunch drinks. Having to rush through the dishes to keep up with the delivery really makes you resent the $600 bill for 4 people. Would probably not return.

V. K.

This place is awesome. From the minute you walk in to the restaurant to the minute you check out after paying the bill this place has it all Location location location just in the heart of the Barangaroo precinct surrounded by the magnificent harbour and other restaurants Food selection is great though easier to just go banquet when dining with a large group. The quality of food and presentation is wonderful and the servings are extremely generous. One cannot possibly leave this place on an empty stomach. The service is amazing! Maurice was our waiter. Wonderful all the way making sure his guests were well taken care of and left with a feeling of utmost contentment after dining at Lotus! I was there with s large group and we were sat around a round table so our conversations were easy and food easy to share. I would have no hesitation to strongly recommend dining at Otis when next in this beautiful part of town. Whether it’s for lunch or dinner you must add this place to your list of “must dine at “ places whether alone or as a couple of with loads of friends. Please LIKE my post if you found this valuable

J. M.

Good food and good service as always.

T. S.

The food was amazing plenty of flavor and fresh. The staff were very kind and we didn't wait long at all for our food. Recommend this place

V. N.

Amazing food and service! The banquet menu here is my go to, as all the best dishes the restaurant has to offer are on this menu. The staff here are also super friendly and I am always keen to go back. Instagram: @valerie.n.eats

T. N.

My friend and I came here for dinner and enjoyed the food. We especially enjoyed the pippies and creme brulee. I would like to say big thanks to Dalton for being an amazing waiter. He was very attentive and provided excellent service the entire night.

W. T.

We had a fantastic meal here, the best we had in Sydney if not the best Chinese we have ever had. Each dish was perfectly cooked. Excellent menu with a seafood focus. The staff were very good too. Definitely would recommend eating here.

L. I.

Lovely spot down by the harbour. The staff are quite friendly and the food is good. Ordering a bunch of the dumplings offers a good option for a quicker lunch. The duck pancakes with mandarin sauce and duck fried rice are also great for duck fans.

M. W.

Dedicate Chinese/Asian food with stunning water view, friendly staff and the prices are worthwhile. 6 people went for the $99pp banquet and had 14 courses. Each course was beyond the traditional taste but not hard to accept but impressive. We thought the dessert would be a simple one to end this however it still turned out to be a thoughtful lemon sorbet with passionfruit yogurt bavarois. Enjoyed the dinner very much, booking recommended.

M. C.

We had the banquet and the food was great. The soft shell crab and dumplings were good. However, you are limited to the coconut sago dessert (which is really below average, the ingredient can be utilised much better). The fish was well cooked and the Kung Pao chicken was very crispy (interetsing twist). Overall it was a good lunch.

R. K.

We had an amazing dinner Easter Sunday with the Family. The food was fantastic, the service great and the atmosphere enjoyable.

T. C.

The food here is so good! Loved the seafood fried rice! It’s definitely worth coming back!

J. N.

No real wow factor to the food and nothing you can't get at a similar Asian restaurant - seems that you're paying for the Barangaroo location rather than the creativity of the menu. Although I must say the stir fry beef was great.

F. S.

We had a fantastic experience dining at Lotus Barangaroo for lunch on a weekend. The staff were so helpful and every interaction had a smile. The food was delicious, we opted for a number of smaller starters rather than mains between the two of us. We had the Pork wontons (steamed), prawn calamari ginger dumplings, soft shell singapore crab, Peking dark pancakes and the calamari and enjoyed a couple of cocktails and one which came out with a sparkler for my birthday (Art of the Tart, Summer Breeze, Pinot Pandora, Lychee martini) and a great glass of white wine. The staff help with our meal choices and also gave advice on our drinks. We were seated at the front of the restaurant and as the sun came over we were in the direct (hot) sun so the waiter even moved us to another table that was more shaded!!! Would highly HIGHLY recommend as a great location and venue to enjoy a special meal.

D. M.

Hey - it’s Barangaroo - so expect to pay more than what you normally would anywhere else. We sat for lunch today and shared 5 serves of dumplings between 4 of us. We ended up paying $24 per head without drinks and even though the dumplings are fresh and the served piping hot, I didn’t give five stars because I expected a WOW factor for the price. Fresh ingredients and you get chunks of prawn in your dumplings but they serve on wax paper which means the dumplings always stick. Would expect something more traditional like serving on a slice of carrot. Overall nice service and great view watching the boats and business people scurrying about.

A. K.

Amazing place with great food and excellent service. The food was so tasty, I'll definitely return. Thanks for helping my 40th birthday be memorable.

C. T.

Yeah this place is good, very good Our waiter was on point, funny and attentive Food was delicious Setting was nice Company was outstanding

A.

Really cool spot to enjoy some views of Sydney while having an upscale dish. I ordered the slow cooked smoked beef short rib. For $52 AUD, I was hoping this would be a substantial portion size and it was more than enough! The staff was friendly and service was relatively quick. Great spot!

O. F.

Enjoyed every minute at this place. Food was well prepared and cooked to perfection. Really well put together menu and flavors were yummy and well priced too. Service was a big plus. They were fast and very nice. Would definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu.

i. k.

Great food and service. Highly recommended to anyone

N. C.

Deadset delicious food, creative cocktails, a great wine list and top notch service. What else can I say about this place. Especially recommended are the kung pao chicken, the duck pancakes, and the passionfruit dessert.

B. H.

Average food, overpriced for what it is. You are paying for location and not the quality of the food. Waitress informed us that the children's fried rice had vegetables and chicken. Turns out it was just rice and scrambled eggs... Probably wouldn't return.

S. P.

Dining with friends. Lovely meals and the airy ambience was a great mood setter. Waitstaff were attentive without hovering and very helpful with suggestions.

M. W.

Had a banquet dinner here with a large group. Usually I'm not a fan of set menus, but the food at Lotus was really outstanding. Had a really surprising eggplant dish when I told the staff that I wasn't into oysters. That dish was the best, but the dumplings, calamari, duck and more.. Everything was superb!

J. W.

Great view, food was good but for the price not incredible (hence the star off). Would still recommend

C. B.

The service and food was great. One guest thought it was quite loud, but for normal people the outdoor setting is perfect

F.

If you like amazing dumplings, steamed buns, sous vide style beef ribs and the option to add shaved truffle to your dish, Lotus is the place for you. Try the squid ink blue swimmer crab and scallop dumplings. Don't forget the mouth watering beef ribs. The meat is so tender, you can pull it appart with chop sticks. We were fortunate to enjoy fast, attentive and friendly service. Thanks for a great lunch to the Lotus team.

K. S.

Loved the menu. Loved the location But . It was new years eve. The quality presentation wasn't the best the lamb cutlets for overdone the Wagga was not the best other minor things that I presume they would have done better if it wasn't such a busy night. I would go again but not on such a night The wait staff were great

K. J.

The food is so good! Really good location and all the staff were so kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend

C. D. M.

Fantastic food, great service and delicious cocktails. Topped with a lovely ambience and water views, what more could you want?! Recommend the prawn calamari ginger dumplings, bbq duck pancakes, xo pipis and passionfruit picked from the vine dessert 😋

E.

Wow, great place for dumplings and delicious Chinese meals. The special was rainbow (celebrating Mardi gras) dumplings with lamb and snow peas and they were perfection. The prawn, calamari and ginger were also great. The tea smoked duck with plum and lychee was also really tasty. Though the best was the crispy sweet and sour pork with cabbage salad. The staff were also really friendly and efficient and the drink selection good. New favourite restaurant in Sydney and I will recommend to all my guests.

G. L.

Great lunch and relaxing atmosphere. Went back for dinner a year later and was not disappointed, the food was just as tasty. Great service and frendly.

D. F.

Have been here a couple of times now for various birthdays, reunions, general drinks/food. Have to say I’ve never been disappointed, they always have an amazing menu, great selection of drinks, & super friendly & helpful staff. They’ve set the bar high for the rest of the restaurants along the Barangaroo waterfront!

M. K.

Had oysters with a lemon sobert, soup pork dumplings, fish Whole fish in ginger and shallots, king pao chicken and pork San choy bow, tasted really nice. Wait for the mains was about 40 minutes, great atmosphere, attentive staff and they know what they're talking about

C.

Couldn’t fault anything about our experience at Lotus.. Absolutely delicious food & cocktails & great wine list & service ❤️

S. L.

The seafood dishes here are incredible - the octopus was cooked perfectly. You could probably get a similar meal much cheaper elsewhere in Chinatown or something, but the food was good and the location is beautiful. Service was quite slow though.

E. I.

Great food, water view and professional service.

M. G.

Had an amazing dinner here, with top service from someone named Macy. We had the bbq pork dumplings with spinach and the vegetarian dumplings as well, and they were god teir. We also had the crab fried rice and the Kung Pao chicken, and it was amazing, the kung pao chicken was so delicious with an amazing texture with just enough sauce. And the desert was delightful, we had the burnt banana with truffle and was a special but should definitely be added to the menu!!

C. a. V. (. &. V.

Lotus Barangaroo delivers Chinese cuisine in an innovative and refined manner. The dishes looked amazing, and tasted just as good! With the backdrop of Sydney Harbour and the hive of activity with Barangaroo increasing, Lotus is an idyllic spot for lunch or dinner. I enjoyed the BBQ Duck and mandarin pancakes with a miso sauce. The char siew is delicious too. For something different, the crystal ice plant is definitely a textural tasting experience.

X.

Best service ever! We sat outside on a rainy night, the waiter put fire tree near me and the waitress even asked me if I need a blanket! And the food was great!!

I. B.

Great service. Excellent food. Lots of options and flavours.

A. S.

Dalton was an incredible, professional and charming staff member (rocking a wonderful moustache) who made our experience memorable. Would highly recommend!

S. E.

Great location Great service Great sitting area Super friendly service Good beers Prices very high for take away grade food Food came and there were no sauces on table, had to ask for some Portions too large, their fried rice dish actually had two sizes and I asked the waiter if Large size is too large he said no.. I ended up taking half of it home because It was a lot for me and I do eat quite a lot. I wouldn't recommend or try again, there are phenomenal restaurants on the same block Hope you guys work more on your menu and food, present something worth that 40+ dollars a dish you are charging for. People are happy to pay to have great time.

A. T.

Pretty much as you would expect. The quality of Barangaroo is great. This is no exception. Each dish was as delicious as the last. The service was... alright. Nothing to write home about. Overall, a great feast. If you are looking for some good Chinese food. Check this out.

T. B.

The food is mind blowing. Service is fast and attentive. Great location, good for a date or a celebration.

A. (. B.

Conveniently located in the uber chic Barangaroo precinct, Lotus didn't disappoint - neither with the food nor the service. Had a get together with friends and whiled away time next to the water. Booking recommended for Friday nights & peak seasons.

J. M.

Delicious. The lobster and squid ink dumplings are phenomenal.

C.

A booking for five diners on a busy Friday late night, turned out to be a delicacy. A banquet option of a mixed selection of meat, seafood and vegetables was chosen. It did not disappoint. Every dish was delicious. Service was great. We had the best waiter, forgot his name but he was a ball of fun!

K. V.

Great team, great food, great drinks, great somm's and great view. This place is honestly just great! The price point is to be expected for a quality and well run waterfront restaurant in Barangaroo, anyone that says otherwise should not be visited this establishment.

D. D.

The food was fantastic. Fresh, hot and very tasty. We weren't rushed as can be the case. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. I will go back for sure.

J.

Pretty good, just don't order the strange flavour eggplant. It was like someone took all the condiments out of the cupboard and made eggplant slop from it.

G. P.

Great Food, Great Service, Highly Recommended.

P. C.

The food is really delicious. Service is fantastic, too. The location and atmosphere is awesome... Highly recommended.

A. L.

Amazing! All the food we had was spectacular. Do not go past the caramelised Pork, it was the best I have ever had.

e. p.

Food n service was amazing 👌🏼specially for BD celebrations 🥳 only thing is lack of indoor space🤷🏻‍♀️

C. J.

Incredible dining experience, the right kind of vibrant atmosphere with a blend of fine dining service and experience. Banquet was lovely

Y. J.

Great food and ambience. Pipis with Xo sauce is the best. Shrim dumpling and eggplant dish is sooo good as well.

N. D.

Amazing food as usual. The food portions are quite good and would be my choice for lunch or dinner any day with my colleagues. Really friendly staff and very prompt with their service.

B. N.

A bit expensive but that's to be expected for this area. All the food was delicious and service was quick. Great location on the water as well.

B. T. W.

The service and food here is phenomenal ...our host Marnee was amazing and so so so friendly and efficiently. The food was devine.

S. S.

We really enjoyed our time there😇

M. P.

My first time at Lotus test day for lunch and will definitely be back. There were 7 of us so we went for the $99 banquet - every dish a winner! Attentive and professional waitstaff and a great dining experience. I’ve dropped a star because of a seemingly lax approach to the Covid-safe checkin. Apart from the first person to arrive, with the rest of us checking in progressively over 10 minutes, nobody checked our check-in or vax status. This needs to be tightened up please.

T. T.

Beautiful location, service is fantastic food was fantastic. Pork belly was just amazing. Set menu has a great variety of dishes

R. I.

We are visiting from Brisbane and had lunch at lotus. The food was amazing and there were variety of wines you could chose. Camila was the one taking care of our table and she was phenomenal. We had the best experience having high quality Asian food and will definitely be back when we go to Sydney.

D. V.

The food was upstanding. We went to celebrate Melbourne cup there, the food and selection of drinks were incredible.

J. S.

Great modern Chinese food with Australian ingredients. Fresh, unexpected, terrific service. Totally recommended!

M. L.

Took my girlfriend here for her 25th Birthday. Nothing but positive things to say from start to finish. Have to come back here again soon.

B. W.

Very good food in a prime location. Prices are fairly reason. Don't go past the Kung Pow chicken or the fried rice. Service a bit spotty when it's busy. Will be back.

S. L.

What a wonderful location and an amazing meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

G. B.

Food, setting and service were fantastic, the duck pancakes were amazing! Will definitely be back

a. A.

Good food, portions on the small side, but the taste makes up for it.

R.

Fantastic Chinese restaurant on the Waterfront at Barangaroo. Good for groups so you can share plates.

E. N.

Amazing. Great food, great service and they don't kick you out after a certain time like other places.

G. B.

Great food! Great service. Many thanks to Steve the waiter. My daughter's 18th birthday dinner a hit.

M. D.

An all-round favorite for business lunches, family dinners, or a quick bite to eat. I stopped in for a light lunch on a Saturday while waiting for my kids nearby. Wearing track pants and a hoodie didn't seem to matter. I was treated with the consistently high level of service that I've come to expect from my regular business visits. The food, of course, was as lovely as ever. Many thanks!

C. C.

Amazing food and great location. Ordered the banquet which gave us a lot of variety as we'd never been here before. Our waitress came across a bit hostile to start and was not very attentive as we waited a while before she wrote down our order - but wasn't a big deal for us. She improved though towards the end of service. Will definitely return as the food is lovely!

P. F.

Perfect flavours and great shared table experience

J. P. (.

Nothing to rave about. There are many dumpling places better than this. Lotus at Dawes Point still holds my number 1 favourite spot for dumpling places. This was overpriced and average. Duck fried rice was perfect though. Dumplings average. Pork apple dish average. Beautiful atmosphere and scenery and great customer service. Worth a try if you want to dine somewhere at Barangaroo.

S. T.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly serving staff. Was pretty busy but they still got us a table despite us having no reservation. Dumplings and fried rice were great but the steamed fish was excellent

A. G.

Fantastic quality food and service, yes it's a little bit more pricey but it's well worth it. Even the simple entrees of oyster spring rolls and muscles were just prepared balanced..so tasty not too salty and fresh!!

J. A.

So impressed with the level of care from the chef. One of our party was lactose and preservative intolerant. The waiter asked the chef for options and came back with this edited menu. With a wife that is celiac, this was such a refreshing response. Some restaurants either have no idea or make you feel like an invonvenience. Nice work. Beautiful fusion and traditional asian food with good flavour. Could've made a bit more from us on the drinks though. There were times where we would've definitely ordered another beer or bottle of wine if they asked.

K.

Pros: pork belly delicious, atmosphere great Cons: waitress started taking away our food before we were finished. Didn’t ask if we were done, had to tell her twice we were still eating. Overall the vibe and location made up for the average service.

M. T.

Great location, great views, easy to get to and the new hub in the city. One of the better Asian restaurants I have been to. Food that is Authentic and tasty. Service is good and being Saturday night we got same attention to detail as on any other day. Great selection of drinks and will be definitely going back. Well done 👍

L. F.

Just a lovely spot for lunch, dinner or just drinks, we had 1st & 3rd.

M. W.

Excellent service, awesome food. Fairly reasonable value, nice view to the water. So close to the ferry, and also Crown.

T. A.

This place truly has amazing food , every single thing we tried was great

E. L.

I was in Sydney for 2 weeks and this has been my favourite meal by far. The food is incredible

C. C. T. M.

The food was spectacular, but what really struck me was the attention of the waiter (Mauricio), he was extremely helpful and kind pending of all the details, besides the view and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, I was with my two friends and definitely enters in our list of favourite restaurants

R. D.

Had great service here on Friday 26 March at 6pm. Staff all very friendly and informative about menu items. Great job guys! Food was not too oily like at some other Asian restaurants. Loses one star for the high prices (especially the dumplings).

g. m.

Absolutely delicious. Best dumplings, calamari was scrumptious, wagyu was mmmm and Asian greens unforgetable. Thank you again.

j. o.

Great modern Chinese Asian fusion. Excellent creative dishes and service

C. G.

The food and service here is amazing. My wife and I have been here 5 times. We love the duck dumplings, prawn dumplings, king prawns in XO. Wagyu,,, its all so good. I believe the ladies name is Mandy, she is great, thank you guys for great food

K. B.

Amazing. Great people watching.

Great food as usual.

Malaysian Chinese reviewing this… so I know what I’m talking about. Food was excellent. Ordered 14 different dishes and couldn’t fault any of them. Wait staff was very attentive and couldn’t fault them either. Thanks for a great night.

C. C.

Great service, great food & great location. Great experience.

Fantastic clean food. My favourite Asian restaurant in Sydney The service is fantastic and the staff and management go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It's always a pleasure to dine here. The extensive wine list is a big plus. Lotus Barangaroo is on my list of top 5 restaurants in Sydney. If you haven't been yet, go and treat yourself to great Chinese fusion dining.

Great service and food

M. M.

Quality chinese in barangaroo with waterfront views and duck fried rice but they are famous for their dumplings

S. M.

Dined here on New Years and the service/food was exceptional all the staff are very friendly & attentive. I have gluten/dairy and egg intolerances and they were able to accommodate everything with a smile. Our waiter Steve was such a vibe and made me fall in love with the restaurants atmosphere even more we will definitely be coming back.

D. L.

Malaysian Chinese reviewing this… so I know what I’m talking about. Food was excellent. Ordered 14 different dishes and couldn’t fault any of them. Wait staff was very attentive and couldn’t fault them either. Thanks for a great night.

s.

Very happy with today’s service from Dalton. He was very considerate and helpful with my gluten free requests. Amazing customer service and ensured we had the best experience for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Thank you!

R. P.

Excellent food, good wine selection and great service.

Location - exceptional ambience and outdoor setting Service - was served by a lovely lady - forgotten her name, but her service was fantastic. Unfortunately one of the other male waiters that served us lacked in English which could serve as an important role in customer service. When we arrived at the restaurant we waited 15 minutes just to received our menus which had been forgotten and was quite upsetting. However, we waited no more than 15 minutes for our food to come which was great! Quality - we had low expectations due to the fact that you can get Chinese food for Less than half the price in western Sydney but the food here was so worth it, every bite exploding with flavour! Also noted how extremely packed out the restaurant was compared to all the other restaurants beside it! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back! Compliments to the chef 👏

Amazing food and service. We had an amazing birthday celebration at Lotus Barangaroo last week and it was absolutely delightful. Perfect views and awesome service. The staff is very friendly and they helped us with great suggestions of food and drinks. Special thanks to Marvin, Virginia and the chef! Fabulous service!

F.

Wow, this was an absolutely beautiful night. Delightful views, great atmosphere and amazing food. Make sure you order the crispy pork and duck pancakes!! The service as well was top notch. Thanks Marvin and all the staff for a very special birthday dinner, service was impeccable. Highly recommended!

S. A.

Had dinner tonight for our anniversary and the waitstaff were so friendly and welcoming and really made you feel at home with a mad view and even better food. Liz was looking after us and she recommended some great dishes (all were delicious!) & made our night even better. Would highly recommend Lotus Barrangaroo for the amazing food, view, experience and staff! Can't wait to go back.

E. T.

Fantastic dinner at Lotus tonight. The prawn and ginger dumplings were fantastic. Our server Dalton recommended some great dishes and took great care of us this evening. Looking forward to coming back soon.

A. M.

We celebrated my wife's Birthday here - she got surprised with a dessert and live Birthday song by the Restaurant Team at the latter part of our meal. Special thanks to the Chefs for the impeccable food. The service was superb Thanks to Macey, Joseph, Cuong, Mina and the Sommelier Manny Surely will come back again and recommend to our friends a very warm welcoming ambience, food and a good wine list, simple but good selection- we love the Riesling **hoping on our next visit add more selection on off-dry Riesling to compliment some of the spicy foods! Cheers!

S. G.

Ordered through providoor for a bit of a lockdown treat. The food that we did receive was fantastic, and up to the standard I'd expect from Lotus. The only issue was that they forgot half of the order!! Huge let down, and left us without a full meal - glad to say they eventually refunded us, but not much else was done to rectify the situation. Hoping this was an issue on Providoor's part, as I'm a big Lotus fan!

W. C.

I went to Lotus Barangaroo for lunch today and the service and food was absolutely amazing. Our waiter Dalton was an absolute legend and was one of the best waiter's I have had in a while. The dumplings were delicious! Thanks Dalton

J. S.

Located in an excellent spot and the galleries restaurant has great food like this one

A. K.

The flavours that come from the menu are fantastic, complex yet subtle flavour, pricing is not absorberant. The cocktails are beautifully presented and always leave you wanting to order another of the same or try the next one on the list. The wine menu is vast, however scotch menu needs expanding. Lastly, the crab fried rice does deserve some crab in it & the wait staff are quick to run away when ordering.

S. B.

First time at the Barangaroo venue and the food was amazing as per their other locations. The staff were also very lovely, especially Dalton. He was quite charming and attentive. Thank you so much. We will defiantly be back!

M. H.

We had the vegetarian and prawn dumplings at Lotus with my friend for dinner! It was sooo nice and the staff were so lovely. We had Dalton as our waiter and he was soo helpful, recommending all the food we ate and was so helpful with the cocktails too- would definitely recommend! ☺️☺️

D. H.

Really good food. Originally 1 star, now changed. We initially queue on the edge of the establishment beside a menu with other randoms for 10 mins while we saw staff walk past us several times, left thinking the place very rude. Walked past an hour later and noticed there is a central station where service was prompt. So mainly customer error in this case. Maybe worth better signage though.

D. M.

Sensational food, excellent service, great service great drinks and amazing view. We will definitely be back

R. W.

Regular visitor to Lotus, so far Barangaroo is the favourite. Staff were very friendly and accomodating, especially sitting with infant and toddler. Food was wonderful, loving the new menu. The wait staff, Blanca had done a wonderful job looking after us. Highly recommended.

J. H.

Great food lovely service from Joseph and the team

B. C.

Thank you to the incredible team at Lotus Barangaroo for your hospitality and amazing service. Celebrated my birthday this past weekend and the food was absolutely delicious and our waiter went above and beyond. Will definitely be coming back!! 10/10!

J. S.

Food was fantastic! The mango sorbet dessert was to die for. Dalton was an excellent , attentive waiter. Couldn’t be happier with the service. Polite, efficient and energetic. Will be back :)

A. T.

The food was soooo good! And the staff super nice.

J. N. L.

Yummo 😋 Highly recommend. Great Food, Great staff and Great atmosphere. Thank you Melvina for making my experience so great, explaining the menu and admire your patience in such a busy lunch time rush ❤Thank you also the young gentleman staffer that noticed I had left my hat behind and retrieved it for me, sorry I didn't get your name 😥

A. L.

Great food, loved the prawn and ginger dumpling, and xiao long bao. Service was even better, it was windy at our table and so they accommodated and moved to a more sheltered and central spot. The waiter, Dalton was friendly :)

M. M.

Beautiful high quality dishes with incredible flavours. Decent size portions for the main dishes so you won't leave hungry. Food arrives promptly and there was no pressure to eat quickly for the next seating. Outdoor seating only which on a hot humid night can be quite uncomfortable if there is no breeze. We will be going back to enjoy again.

J. C.

Dinner on a chilly Monday night was superb. Amazing food. Great wine. Fantastic service. Will definitely be back!

A. P.

Have been here a few times and the food is always amazing and the service is great.

j. c. p.

Nice venue with an awesome view, the food tasty. We had some starters and mains all to share, my recommendations for the management are to offer cutlery cause you can’t eat lamb cutlets with chopsticks, use different garnish for the dishes, the richness flavor of the wagyu lost in the soy sauce.

R. A.

Fantastic good and great service. Best dumplings in Sydney!

B. D. P. C.

We came here last Saturday night. It was full - which most times is good sign! Seafood and duck dumplings are great and pork belly dish is top notch. Drinks a bit expensive but ok given location etc. will defo repeat!

C. S.

The food is sooooo delicious. It is suitable for more people, so you can taste more different dishes. The environment is great. And the staff are nice.

j.

This place is amazing! If you’re around the area, don’t bother going to the other places. You will be amazed with the wonderful service especially from Adi and Nancy who looked after us so well during our Mother’s Day dinner. Thanks Lotus Barangaroo. We will definitely be back

Y. G.

We were there for my friend’s birthday dinner, and we had great dining experience. The waiter who looked after our table, he was friendly and attentive. He gave us some recommendations on menu, explained the specials of the day and followed up on us to check if we’re having good time. Every dish we order was amazing, but if I have to pick one I would recommend Peking duck. I don’t really eat duck, but I enjoyed this Peking duck very much. We also ordered dessert dishes and asked for a candle since it was my friends birthday. When they served us the dessert, they came with 3 people and sang happy birthday for us. We didn’t expected that much so we’re surprised but I think it was very nice and made the day very memorable. Thank you very much for the amazing night, hope I can go back there soon!

B. H.

Beautiful, fresh Chinese cuisine, with a quirky cocktail menu 🥟🥘🍚🍹

S. Y.

Spectacular dinner in a COVID safe, picturesque location with kind, efficient staff. Dalton was attentive and careful with our table, We were lucky enough to come in tonight without a booking and we were welcomed straight in and served very quickly.Both the drinks and the food were extremely good value; thank you to the team for helping create a truly magical date night experience, Will definitely be back, Thanks again Dalton, well done tonight

N. E.

We came for a casual Saturday lunch and were absolutely delighted by the quality of the service and food. We started with the squid ink dumpling, full of crab and scallops. An outstanding dish, that was wonderfully prepared with nuanced flavours. The fried rice with spanner crab is a must, along with perfectly spiced green beans. We also had the Morton Bay bugs with a buttered pepper sauce and were equally blown away. This is a great place, great food and great staff.

A. T.

The food was good. The ducks had some feathers left on them which was a slight problem- and they did not get me a spoon when others did have spoons. The customer service was very rude. The hostess there was incredibly impolite, and told us to go and wait till our booking time as we came early when there was places to sit down. The food was good, but the customer service is TERRIBLE. It is much better to go to other locations as the food and service is much better.

L.

The food at Lotus Barangaroo was lovely and the service was super attentive. Dalton was the perfect host and made sure that our dishes came out just as we liked it. He made fantastic recommendations and ensured we were looked after and comfortable. The food was high quality and the dumplings in particular were incredible! :)

M.

It was busy night and we didn't have reservation. But staffs were kind and they tried to make table for us asap. Dumpling was delicious but I would like to recommend Snow peas and broccolini's stir-fried dish. It was absolutely the best that night.

D. H.

Amazing food. The caramelized pork was amazing!! As well as the duck fried rice and the san choy bao. Dalton our waiter also provided an excellent service. Will definitely be back 😊

M. G.

The food, service & staff were amazing. We tried a wide variety of food and every single dish was superb, the food would disappear as soon as left on the table and I was fighting with my friends to get my share :))) Camila who was in charge of our table was so lovely. We had a great time in the restaurant with our friends & will definitely be back.

L. S.

Food was amazing and came out promptly. Venue is great and right on the water, not too noisy even though it was quite busy. Our waiter Dalton made sure we had plenty food and wine to be happy! We will be coming back here!

H. B.

This place is always our go to. Amazing time tonight. Dumplings are always perfect. Tonight we were served by Dalton who was incredibly polite and accomodating. Thanks so much for creating a great experience!

S. F.

Had such a nice time!! The food was amazing and fantastic service. Dalton, our server, was super helpful in choosing dishes. We’ll definitely be back!

S. I.

Very average food. Atleast what I ordered for. The friend who took me there loved it so probably different taste buds here. I love modern asian fare but this one definitely won't be on my list.

J. Z.

Was ok only. We organized a birthday dinner for the special date. They were quite busy at the time, so didn't felt the service was great. Food is good, but I have to drank lot of water afterwards.

G. E.

This is an average restaurant with great staff and the CBD price tag. To say I would go there for the food is a dramatic overstatement. I live out west and consider myself a foodie and this my friends is an average place for food. Not bad, but if you have to travel to get there you will have passed better, cheaper alternatives. We expected the price tag of about $900 for 8 people but I must say your paying for location. I will say that the staff were amazing and helpful. They stopped us from over ordering which was great and they made recommendations on the food. The place looks great and modern but nice walls and a chair are not filling my belly. Overall: Expensive (as expected) Great service Meh food Shitty location with expensive parking if you can find any (three car parks were full) Yeah the view is good. Would I go back, no.

T. D.

We had an amazing dinner. The food was fantastic and the service was phenomenal. We enjoyed multiple dishes and paired it with a nice Reisling. Following dinner, Mao noticed it was my birthday and shortly after with our dessert the servers all sang happy birthday to me. They even wrote happy birthday Tiana in chocolate letters on the plate. It was a delightful surprise and I felt extremely special.

K. D.

Been here a few times and always found the experience great. The food and service were excellent. Yes the price tag is higher than a China Town meal but you are dining at Barangaroo - it is expected. There is scope to improve the menu with more ambitious dishes. Would recommend for a special night out or for corporate lunches/diners.

T. W.

Great service nice food reasonable value

M.

I had my birthday party here today with a large group of 20+. The Lotus team is so helpful and thoughtful. Everything is so organized and all staff try their best to make every guest happy, especially appreciate the service from Doddy, Macey and Joseph. Best birthday party ever. I would highly recommend everyone to come here!

J. T.

Adi was amazing! He was so attentive, friendly and provided such great service. The food was delicious and the guy called Joseph was very funny.

H. S.

Delicious food, cocktails and quick service! We ordered a few cocktails and enjoyed 5-6 dishes from the dumplings and entrees menu - highly recommend the duck pancakes, pork wontons and grilled octopus. A lovely meal on a beautiful summer evening. Will be back!

J. Y.

Food was good but overpriced. There’s only one vegetable dumplings for vegetarians (not me) and it was stuffed with kale and no flavour. Service was absolutely appalling.

J. L.

Went mid week for daughter's 21st birthday. We were so impressed with everything - they could not do enough for us. Food and service both fabulous. They also suggested to re-light the birthday cake candles to take a group pic! Can't wait to dine there again.

R. B.

Manny and Lee have set us up.for success on our trip to Sydney. Genuinely good people

O. M.

The food was incredible and Dalton was an incredible waiter! He was attentive and helped us choose what to eat! He was a legend! Will be back again as soon as possible!

H. T.

The few vegetarian options on the menu are tasty. Service is attentive. Doesn’t knock my socks off with its creativity or flavour, and it’s overpriced, but worth a try if you want something a bit different - or perhaps seafood and meat eaters may enjoy it more.

B. B.

Always a fantastic experience at Lotus. Fun for a cheeky date with the love of your life or to impress your in-laws who are visiting from out of town.🎩

N. P.

Had a great Sunday afternoon lunch at Lotus on 16/5/21. We tried the 49pp banquet. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional. We will be back!!

A. F.

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere couldn't fault the evening. Ordered 14 course banquet and food consistently beautiful catered for coeliac disease with excellent gluten free meals including dumplings. Staff very attentive in particular Dalton who was consistently topping up glasses, providing fresh plates and cutlery etc and excellent friendly service.

M. F.

enjoyed the food, service... although for some ambience might b good, but i would prefer a bit more light at least to look at what im eating... especially that we were having whole fish...

s. L.

Nice food, nice place, nice location. Great for family or even romantic couple as it overlooks the water. Lovely experience to have dinner in here. Will definitely go back ❤

A. O.

Love it! Have been there several times. Food never disappoints, great selection and flavours. Always consistent and a great venue for larger groups with the banquet menus being generous. Highly recommend it if you want a great Asian meal!

G.

Starter and dumplings were amazing but the service was bad and the mains were poor for the price. Setting is good but expected a lot better considering the previous reviews. Waitress never asked how the food was, never cleared away dirty plates when we had finished with them, (and this attracted bugs) and never came to ask if we wanted more drinks. Some mains were tasty like the wagu stir fried beef, but the noodles we got were mostly cabbage (very small portion of actual noodles) and the grilled chili whole fish was way too salty (too much red bean paste used for the sauce). The soft shell crab starter was delicious (as good as you get in Singapore) and the squid ink dumplings were really tasty, but unfortunately this wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the expensive meal. Much better places available in the area.

M. M.

Great food, good value, awesome service! Can't rate this lovely Chinese restaurant highly enough. We had lunch here on Sunday and it was an unexpectedly pleasant experience; original and savoury food, with a touch of western cuisine. The service was excellent. Thank you to Livio and the rest of the team! We will definitely be back again in the future!

F. X.

We had such a great evening. The food was fantastic and very quick to come out. Our waiter Dalton was also fantastic.

N. R.

Excellent place! We had been for team lunch. They made special arrangement for 13 of us to sit together. The food is excellent. I was happy to see that they carry good amount of vegetarian options in the menu. We tried most of them and they were tasty! Service was fast and the staff were very courteous.

P. P.

Excellent food, good service, great outlook. We were there on a nice evening. It is somewhat exposed to the weather so avoid high winds or very hot weather.

D. H.

I really loved the menu here, it was modern and full of flavour, the dumplings were packed full and generous portions. Highlights we're the soft shell crab and the salt and pepper fish. Our service was outstanding, our waitress had only been there for a week but nailed our service. The wine is a little expensive for the selection.

L. W.

Amazing! So many places to choose from along the Barangaroo waterfront, however Lotus tops them all. Such an interesting menu, with great size portions which makes it great value for money. A perfect place to spend a long lunch in the sunshine. A special thanks to our server Mauro who made the lunch just perfect!

G.

Absolutely loved it! Very attentive staff, especially Steve who never stopped running around with smile & made the day even more special! All of the dishes were fabulous, atmosphere was great. We all return for sure. Highly recommended!

N. D. S.

We had a wonderful experience at the lotus. Duck was better than wongs, fried rice was on point and plenty of cocktails to choose from. Overall the best part of the experience was the service. A man named Dalton served us and if you ever have the opportunity to attend lotus I highly recommend asking for Dalton to be your server. I will be back

v. l.

Great service, fantastic ambience and location. We had an alfresco table and ordered the banquet. The portions were great, but I found the food on the salty side. I was also looking forward to the Peking duck wrap, but the duck was very very dry. The salad that came with the banquet was delicious though.

Y. U.

I went for my sister's Birthday and the food was amazing, the location was amazing and the price was very good for the amount of food you get. It ended up being 5 courses for $69 each between 10 people and $30 each for alcohol which was a boozy lunch. The food is incredible with a Chinese/ Modern influence.

L. M.

Delicious :) Yummy food and very friendly waiters and waitresses. Such a shame of the weather on the night with extreme wind and rain, making it freezing cold to eat! Not their fault though. Recommend :)

K. P.

Went here for a work lunch, the waitress was very nice and the wine guy was very helpful. We ordered the 49pp banquet, all the food was delicious. Wine was poured when our glasses got low and water was constantly topped up. You dont get much good for $49 but what you do get is fantastic. Definitely worth 5stars.

L. V.

We were having dinner with my friends. A warm welcoming, followed by an excellent service especially form the waiter Mauricio, with a lot of attention to details in order to please you. The service always with a smile and very kind with us. The food was amazing.

J. H.

What a fabulous experience! From the warm welcome to the amazing service. There's a very reasonable wait time too as the food was amazing. Really well put together menu and flavors were yummy and well priced. We will be back!

P. S.

Food drinks and service were amazing! Eggplant, duck and spinach dumplings were the highlights. Our waitress was hilarious and amazing on recommending things to try

D. J.

Service was seriously lacking. Food amazing as always. I have been to Lotus so many times and it’s the first time I’ve ever had bad service so hoping it’s not a sign of things to come. It took forever to be seated, get drinks and then they placed the mains down before they had even taken the plates away from the table.

c. s.

Amazing location, cold but ambiance is very good. Delicious food and top notch service. Thank you very much Marcie for the wonderful service. You made my daughter's birthday very special. Will recommend this place to all my family and friends.

R. S.

The food was fantastic. Unbelievable service. Main source of service was by a young gentleman Dalton and the atmosphere was fantastic !! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone for a fun night out!

J. B.

Came to celebrate our anniversary and the Food was amazing !!! Will definitely come here again. Our waiter Dalton was incredibly friendly and helpful :)

D. B.

We had a lovely experience, amazing food and we were served by Dalton, the Legend! He was a fantastic waiter. Highly recommend!!

M. D. S.

Great Venue, good service, moved us to a better table on request, by being accomodating they made our night a sit was a special celebration! Food was delicious and presentation great

J. A.

Service can be much better. We were served as though we were next door at bells chicken, but paying triple. You see plenty of people standing to pay at the counter because waiters simply don't come back to the tables... Green beens are mind-blowing and dumplings were ok.

r. t.

The food was amazing and the cocktails was even better. Dalton our server was friendly, cheeky and very professional. Thumps up for the whole team.. ty

V. J.

Good food at Lotus, nice space and always consistent

T. A. T.

Visited for an event of year lunch and the food was fabulous. Absolutely recommend.

S.

Cost a lot but food is very average, especially the Balmain bugs taste very salty.

D. R.

Was one of the few restaurants open due to Covid-19 however was definitely glad we tried. Food was excellent and fresh, service was lovely and atmosphere and setting great. I had Chili Soft Shell Crab & steamed baby Schnapper with ginger, scallotts & truffle.... cooked perfect. Their Semillion matched it with a beautiful wine. Thankyou for a great dining experience.

T. M.

Beautiful food. Friendly staff.

S. S.

Absolutely enjoyed my experience and would definitely go back. Great location, beautiful decor, an amazing menu to go with it, and a great team. Our waiter was Livio (I hope I got the name right) and he was right on with his wine suggestions.

A. N.

I've been to Lotus QVB on two occasions and was pleased with them. I would've thought it would be better at Barangaroo with the views (which was good), but it just wasn't. Firstly, there seems to be some unreasonable rules about the $49 banquet coming from the chefs, not so much the wait staff. Oh well, we did order individual dishes and it was delicious. Only minor issue with the steamed fish is that we were told it would be snapper, but the chef changed the fish at the last minute without letting us know. It was still good, but come on, that's a no-no for hospitality. I would like to give it another shot but I might just stay with The Galeries franchisee.

K. T.

Dalton made the experience. He recommended the best dishes on the menu and did not miss. Try the prawn dumplings and noodles in xo!

A. B.

The food was amazing, the peaking duck to be specific was definitely the highlight and big thanks to Dalton for making sure my partner and I were looked after.

N. C. B.

Had a late afternoon lunch on Sunday here and it was excellent. We had the BBQ duck and greens dumplings, mushroom spring rolls, fried noodles with XO sauce and sweet and sour pork, plus some rice on the side. The dumplings were superb - with lots of flavour. I enjoyed the noodles, which were combined with fresh shoots and herbs, and appreciated the waitperson suggesting we have the XO sauce on the side so our toddler could have some too. The pork wasn't what I expected - it was belly pork and was very rich - I think it would have been great shared with a larger group as it was too much for us (and we eat a lot) because it was so rich. It came with a lovely sharp fresh salad that helped cut through the fat and the overall flavours were good. The service was outstanding - friendly and professional and they went out of their way to make us and our toddler comfortable and make sure we were warm on a windy winter afternoon. We had plenty of space despite having a pram and it was a lovely experience. Wait times for food were good too. I would definitely go back and try more from the menu - it's great modern Chinese / Asian.

S. M.

The best Restaurant in Barangaroo! The service from Nanci is second to none, very attentive and super friendly! The flavours of the food from the amazing Chefs were world class! The Manager Joseph and Somm Sasha were super helpful and attentive.

D. M.

Lotus Barangaroo is a dining experience. I keep coming back as it never disappoints. It’s in a great location, lovely water views. Close to the Sydney CBD. It’s about a 10min walk from wynyard station. It’s alfresco dinning so wear something warm if it’s in winter. The dumplings are not your traditional yum cha style. These are exquisite fusion dumplings packed with lots of flavor. Therefore they are a little more pricier than your standard yum cha joint. It’s worth every dollar though! You get amazing food, ambience and service. They also have great vegetarian options. The dishes are small but it means you can order more, to try the many different options available. Cocktails are delicious. Highly recommend for a special occasion, work lunch or just catching up with friends and family.

N. K.

My friend and I and our two beloved pups took the ferry from Rose Bay to lunch here for the first time. What a fabulous experience! From the warm welcome from the lovely Hostess Karen, to the amazing service from our divine waitress Annie, we had a delicious and memorable lunch. The food was divine, as were the drinks, but the service from these two ladies made our day. We chose all their recommendations and were not disappointed. Fabulous seafood dumplings, squid ink dumplings, salt and pepper squid, oysters and crispy skin chicken. Whilst we were so full we couldn't go past the duck fried rice as well. Thank you for a wonderful lunch. We will be back!

R.

Good food. Friendly service. Average prices for barangaroo location. Wait staff was very polite but forgetful and slow. Our drink order was forgotten. Callamari was very nice. Fried rice was excellent. Fish was delicious but difficult to de-bone. Teriyaki Chicken was mediocre. Good wine selection. Creme brulee was very tasty for dessert, the passion fruit was a nice touch to the dish. The apple crumble was literally half an apple warmed and topped with crumble, I did not like this style of serving it and found it very difficult to eat.

L. P.

Food was amazing. Staff we're great. But the room layout was too tight. We or the tables next to us constantly had to shift our chairs or readjust to let the wait staff through. I don't mind feeling cramped in but I do mind being interrupted every time someone wanted to pass. If they removed 1 table it would have eased the congestion.

I. M.

i went here with my friend for the first time. had a delicious meal and had the most amazing waiter i have ever gotten. dalton is a legend. the best server in the world. he should own all the franchises.

S. E.

Wonderful food, lots of it , amazing service

K. G.

Valentine's Day 2017. No booking but the staff were able to provide a great table. The menu is amazing the crystal ice plant salad was a complete surprise. A local vegetable that I have never had. Deliciously different. Overall good and service is terrific.

H. T.

Best dimsim and fried rice in Sydney.

K. H.

Dalton gave us fantastic service and he was very charming! Food was yummy and delicious, especially the “strange eggplant”!

S. L.

Lovely food but just as importantly, amazing service..so friendly, relaxed and informal but top drawer too! Marie, our French waitress, was incredible. Just the right balance of professional attentiveness and friendly Aussie attitude. Loved our evening there, thank you!

M. M.

Food tasted amazing. But the portions sizes are small. I was still hungry after. I think you guys should really consider giving larger portions. Otherwise great place.

E. G.

Food was amazing! Service from Dalton was great! I loved the ginger mocktail! Will definitely be coming back☺️

M. P.

Most AMAZING experience with Dotty! He COMPLETELY took care of our Xmas party and nothing was too much for this lovely man ❤ Thanks for such amazing customer service hun, something you don't get too often in Sydney any more ❤

G. F.

Excellent restaurant located in one of the most beautiful places in Sydney. Excellent raw material cooked with skill by talented chefs. Excellent table service done with professionalism, kindness and education of Livio. The price is in line with that offered by the restaurant. Definitely come back

S. J.

Had dinner for my dad’s birthday last night. They were very accomodating and flexible when we wanted some of us to have the banquet menu option and a la carte for the kids since they won’t be able to eat the banquet. Amazing service, really nice waitresses. They offered blankets since it was a cold night, and even wrote greeting on my dad’s dessert and surprised him with it. Just all around great experience.

A. K.

Had an amazing night, food was great and service was even better. We had the pleasure of having a gentleman named Dalton serving us. He needs a promotion, such a humble yet welcoming individual taking care of us and ensuring all our needs were met. Will return again with pleasure.

M. P.

The food is better than your average Chinese style food but that difference comes at a price and I was not convinced it is worth the premium expense. I had read that service was an issue before I visited but I am happy to say that our server was outstanding and recommended some great dishes, so no worries on that point. The food is tasty and super fresh, so its a case of whether you think its worth the extra expense compared to some of the excellent eateries found in areas like Ashfield, Strathfield and Cabramatta.

A. D.

Took a group of international visitors here or a banquet. Every one had a great time, despite heavy jet lag, and loved the food. I love the Asian food with the smattering of native ingredients. Excellent wine list too, slightly unfortunate that they had sold out of my wine of choice. Loved the macrons for dessert. A good size after a large banquet.

E. O.

My latest experience of lotus Barangaroo has been my best yet. Dalton, our server during this experience had an exhaustive knowledge of both the food and wine menu, steering us towards a more cohesive dining experience. His input elevated our lunch beyond what we had experienced here before. I hope our next stop in is as good!

k. s.

Good food and good wine. Amazing crispy duck

I work in Barangaroo and have visited Lotus a couple of times now, my recent visit with a colleague (on 27 Sept) was a lovely outdoor lunch on a spring day! The food was great and all employees were very attentive, our server, Mauro, was a delight and had some great menu recommendations, especially the dumplings! We will definitely visit Lotus again.

M. S.

Had a really nice experience at the Lotus on a Sunday afternoon. We had our little daughter with us, and the staff went out of their way to entertain her: high seat, her own cutlery and bowl, etc. The food was amazing, and 2 courses between 2 adults was more than plenty. And a very reasonable wait time Really recommend this place!

T. M.

Food and cocktails were amazing. Dalton was an amazing waiter too. He made the experience that much better.

M. V.

Food was amazing as always. Our server Dalton made the experience even better. Will definitely be back (maybe even tomorrow).

D. M.

These guys know how to cook for sure. However not blown away for the price. Flavors a bit off for Chinese food, I would call it mixed Asian. Decent atmosphere, great service. Food is close but you can get some cheap dumplings in the city that will impress you more

k. b.

Dalton had amazing service. Ask for him when you go! Had the best time and had the $89 banquet Worth your $$$

V. A.

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the signature cocktails (the Pina Pandora was great!!!). The service was outstanding, friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you Livio. Lotus at Barangaroo is a place I can count on to bring my friends, family, and guests to and know they will enjoy it.

Had a special occasion to celebrate. Customer service was really great, few minutes after the online booking I received a call from Amy asking whether I wanted to have any special arrangements. They accommodated to all wishes and brought out the preordered items shortly after we sat down. All staff knew about our occasions and provided very good service. The food was delicious, better than expected... Probably the best duck (in plum sauce) I have ever had....and the coconut cheesecake 🤤 Only minor critique, had to actively ask the waiter about the dish. Would have been good to have a brief Itroduction to What we are being served. But overall, highly recommended.

The Lotus Baragaroo staff are amazing!!! They deserve more than 5 stars! Because of covid we've had to move most of our wedding celebrations in Melbourne to next year. But since we didn't want to be defined by COVID-19, we decided to do a mini wedding and celebrate the milestone through dinner. We struggled with locking in a venue due to covid. We were turned away by many venues because they couldn't accomodate the small group of people in my wedding party. But the Lotus Barangaroo made arrangements that met with the COVID-19 regulations, but at the same time, made us feel like a valued customer - not just turning us away. On the day, there was a mix up with the booking time, but Marvin made it so we could seat at our preferred time. Marvin and the staff were so attentive to our needs and definitely made our wedding night memorable. It's amazing how much a small gesture of kindness and understanding can make a big difference in people's happiness. Again, a big big thank you to Marvin and the staff of the evening on 10.10.20 for making our wedding dinner special.

Food was amazing! Loved the snow peas and broccolini. Dalton was our waiter and he was exceptional. Thank you Dalton!!!

S. -. T. I. T.

New place, variety. Good sitting benches. Great water views. Not crowded. Clean. Shops are now open in the Crown casino foyer.

A. H.

Have the seafood platter. Be selective as its quite filling; don't fill up on the chips or bread. Staff were great and the prices are reasonable

C. L.

Amazing meal. We had Dalton as our waiter who was exceptional. Recommendations and service was very professional.

E. M.

Although the weather was awful, our dining experience at Lotus Barangaroo was amazing, and the temptation of returning to enjoy the delicacies offered by this restaurant is irresistible. The food is of excellent quality and the service was excellent. A special thank to both the waiter from Naples and the Sommelier Karen who made our experience memorable. We will definitely be back!

E. C.

Amazing food and location! Dalton especially was an amazing host who guided us through the menu and drinks.

K. W.

Gluten free dumplings that are delicious - usually 4 different options/flavours on the menu. I personally can just order one of each between two people and that’s the perfect meal. Highly recommend you head on over to try them for yourself.

a. a.

The food was wonderful, got given a great seating position and didn’t feel crowded what so ever. Our waiter was fantastic (Dalton The Myth), always kept our glasses full and our faces smiling.

S. O.

Great venue, great staff and great food. Was a little disappointed at how fast the whole banquet was brought out but appreciated that we were never made to feel like we had to leave quickly after finishing our meals. Good beer and wine selection. Expensive but worth it for the venue and location. I recommend ordering a la carte.

J. B.

Really good food !! First time here and would definitely come back. Tasted amazing !! Would 100% recommend. Dalton he is a legend and his service was truely amazing. 5 starts from me 🤩

J. F.

Their other restraunt not in barangaroo is much better. Dumplings were good but everything else was ok... Just expected a bit more.

A. C.

Delicious! The banquet options are the best so yum! The duck fried rice, duck pancakes and dumplings are to die for! I also had a signature peach gin cocktail which was really nice

J. F.

Service very good and food was fresh, flavoursome & delicious

B. T.

Great food, Great place, Great services

K. R. K.

After COVID this is my first time in such a good restaurant. I was just wondering to wherr to find out best venue for dinner with my friends and this was an exceptional experience. Having preeti as our server and waitress was great, I will definitely visit again with my family next time to experience the same great service.

T. L.

Great food and service was amazing. The mango sorbet was the perfect end to the dinner. Thank you to Dalton for taking great care of us!

Y. K.

Love it, love it, and love it. Food is good, atmosphere is good and staff is lovely and excellent. Sotificated and comfy if it makes sense. Staff left enough space so we can enjoy and got right timing to get us food and drinks.

N. N.

I have my favourites here and they’ve always been the same quality no matter how much of a break I have between visits: salt and pepper fried tofu, mixed veges, rice. Soul food.

D. S.

Lotus has a westernised Asia vibe with revamped version's of traditional Chinese cuisine. Food was really well cooked and had great flavour elements. The oysters were particularly lovely and fresh. I did find however that the dishes took a long time to be prepared and be served (around about 1hr for mains). Staff are knowledgeable, but the turn around time was abit too long for my liking but, still lovely food.

L. P.

Absolutely Fabulous. Best dumplings ever and I mean ever!! Also a fabulous san choy bow which is vegetarian but add the pork mince mix for the carnivores and awesome Going back for the dumpling cooking class!!

O. T.

Food was spectacular, a great selection of wines and our waiter Dalton provide amazing service.

P. G.

Had lunch here about a week ago. Lotus is in a great location right on Wulugul Walk After the amazing banquet meal, couldn't eat for another day. The variety of food and the different flavours scattered throughout each dish was extraordinary. Eleven words - 'Oysters with lemon aspen sorbet, butterfly pea flower and finger lime '. Possibly the best thing I've ever eaten. Staff were fantastic and very attentive. Will definitely be coming back.

J. R.

Had a lovely evening. Dalton was a great host along with Sasha providing a great knowledge of wine. Food was amazing would come back again

J. N.

Good selection of Chinese food (although on pricy side) with nice seating area with view of the Barangaroo pier. We came here as a group and ordered a range of dishes to share, they were all delicious, highlight being the crispy chicken dish.

x. b.

Excellent eating experience. From walking in the door, seated and drink order taken, was around 5 minutes. Meal was excellent taste. Mauricio was very friendly and helpful.

V. N. (. L.

Service 5/5, Food quality 5/5 but boy was the food inaccurate. Peking duck was way thicker/denser than it should have been, fried rice was weirdly dry and grainy (not just a pun), and the sweet and sour pork was served in oily yet dry cubes and some kind of fish sauce dressing over greens usually reserved for pho?? Again, the quality and taste was objectively good, but the food felt like it was missing a certain attention to intrinsic flavours. Or maybe call the dish something else? Still would come back on principle of good food, if a bit overpriced.

I. N.

The food was really good and they were very accomodating with great friendly service! Dalton was a legend and great server!

G. K.

Excellent !! Great food, great vibe and excellent service. The food is well presented, well priced and a good variety of dishes.

A. F. t. F.

We ordered the set menu for a business lunch. Food was flavoursome and delicious and service attentive. Will be back to sit in the winter sunshine again.

k. f.

The food was amazing and Mauricio was an incredibly attentive and accommodating server. I came for my birthday and he went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of. What an amazing experience! Mauricio— thank you.

S. D.

Had lunch there yesterday....we did the 4 person banquet... Probably best meal I have had in years. Food fantastic Wine fabulous Service brilliant Come back..you bet yah Can't wait to do it all again

J. J.

This place is awesome. Fantastic food (highly recommend any of the wontons and the sweet and sour pork!). Best pork belly I've ever had. Great staff who are friendly. Have been twice in the last two months and will be back!

S. M.

I'm vaguely aware there are some non-dumpling items on the menu, but I will never try them because they do they main gig so damn well. Great cocktails too!

M. Z.

Been trying most of the restaurants along Barangaroo but have to say Lotus is still by far our favourite one. Last time our waiter Livioo recommended the sweet and sour pork and the lamb cutlets. Amazing foods and service!

J. R.

Food and service are great, but a little overpriced. Banquets are best value. The wine menu is extensive but has limited affordable options

R. L.

The view and ambience of this restaurant really draws you in. Looking out to the harbour while enjoying great food and wine is what Sydney's all about. The scenery and character of the place is complimented by its amazingly fresh food. From great dumplings to fresh seafood, you can't go wrong with what ever you choose to eat. Disappointingly the table service really lets this place down. It seems like there is a lack of floor management as the coordination of the different areas of the restaurant is almost non existent. Waiters / Waitresses don't communicate well with each other. We had several example of food and drinks coming out at the wrong time. We requested additional lettuce with our san toy bau which came 20 minutes later and after asking 3 different staff members by which time we has already eaten the lettuce mix. 10 minutes later another serving of lettuce arrived on our table after all the food had been cleared off. On several occasions we attempted to get staffs attention when walking past out table but none of them were attentive enough to make eye contact. The sommelier sporting a pair of speed dealer glasses looked like he had been of a three day bender celebrating Australia's Ashes win. I actually didn't realise he was the sommelier till later on in the evening after asking him a question about the food menu. He rocked up to our table at the star of the evening asking for our drinks orders while providing no insight into the wine list what so ever. I might consider coming back to this restaurant during a more quite period but beware unless you get one of their better staff members your service is probably going to be substandard. I’m

P. G.

I am a vegetarian and they took care of my requirements. Good variety in their banquet with good flavours. They served almost 10-12 different vegetarian items which is rare to find in other restaurants. Enjoyed it. It is an expensive place.

M. M.

Food was incredible - mix mushrooms is a must! Thank you Dalton for giving us a great first experience at lotus!

V. A.

Wonderful cuisine and interesting menu creations, great for family and friends and a nice evening trying some new food. Love the creative drink mixes, definitely worth checking out!

A. L.

I loved the prawn dumplings, and bbq duck dumplings, had amazing service from our waiter Dalton. AMAZING pork.

C. A. A.

The food is really nice (especially the mango sorbet dessert). The staff is amazing and Dalton's service was great!!

L. R.

Dalton the Myth was nothing short of amazing tonight, his people skills, fast and efficient service was very pleasant. From drinks to food and atmosphere this was such an enjoyable night !

C. T.

Great outdoors and dining experience.

S. F.

Spectacular food, probably the best salt and pepper squid I've ever had. Great location and outstanding service.

H. M.

Good Asian / Chinese mix of cuisine, nice wine list. Outside is good but make sure you're by a heater if it's a colder night! Quick service for when you're wanting food.

G. F.

Dalton was our waiter this evening and was very accommodating! Great food at a fair price. Would definitely recommend!

R. B.

Amazing dinner last night! Everything was perfect.. cocktails were spot on.. and flawless service by our amazing waiter Livio.. will definitely keep coming here.

J. H.

We started with the heirloom tomato and silken tofu, the vegetable dumplings and the mushroom spring rolls, and went on to chicken kung pao, steamed fish with ginger and shallots and the special fried rice. The food was absolutely exceptional, the ambience was wonderful and the staff were bang on with promptness and a friendly professionalism.

L. R.

Great food, reasonable prices for location and quality, let down by inattentive and slow service. To top it off we had pretty rude and bizarre behaviour from the maitre'd. Completely ruined the evening for a table spending over $1k on dinner. Fabulous dumplings. Great Peking duck. Sumptuous pepper beef and perfectly cooked Barramundi. And Pooley Pinot. Yummo! All that great stuff, let down by the experience.

S. Z.

Surprisingly good Chinese food at Barangaroo

C. B.

Fantastic lunch yesterday. Delicious food, lovely wines and very attentive, helpful service. We will be back!!

A. B.

My family and I had dinner at Lotus tonight and it was absolutely perfect. The food is spectacular and the service second to none! Thank you to our Italian waiter Livio who helped us with the menu. Everything was spot on!

S. D.

Great food but pricey. Could be due to the location and costs. Every dish ordered was yummy.

M. S.

Had a wonderful experience at Lotus with my work team. The food was excellent, and service even better by a very attentive waiter called Dalton.

T. I.

Excellent. 5 out of 5 on everything. Food, service, location everything was great . One of the best modern Asian restaurant in Sydney.

B. H.

All the good reviews that I have read about this restaurant are true. The friendliness of the staff seems genuine. I have never seen such good customer service as I experienced Lotus at Barangaroo. Thank you Livio, you made our day!

S. L.

Had a wonderful evening catching up with an old friend. The food was delicious and Dalton was very friendly and attentive. Thank you.

M. C.

All the Lotus restaurants are good. Well made and tasty dumplings. Dishes are really big and good to share. Great location for a work lunch.

P. H.

Dalton (the waiter) provided excellent service. Also without a doubt the best gluten free dumplings in the southern hemisphere. Highly recommended.

B. T.

An absolutely delightful lunch! This is the sort of food you get in fine diners in Hong Kong and Shanghai. It's not at the top of the fine diner tree the way some of those places are, but it's at a level where, really, you wouldn't be ashamed to take anyone there for lunch. And a great location - on the water - but until the trees grow up, some of the tables at the edge might get a bit too much sun in certain weather. We had the Iceberg Salad (because Google Maps reviewers said it was good) and it was a crunchy, cool, umami-rich delight, precisely proportioned for two. Then the salt-and-native pepper tofu - nicely crisp on the outside and deliciously moist within, with lovely flavours and a hint of heat - and the Lotus Fried Rice. In China, fried rice is a delicacy, and this was. Lovely egg (but chunky, not really golden threads, as Chinese gourmets might prefer), tiny pieces of duck meat and skin, some peas, green herbs, mustard seeds ... great. The wine list is interesting, but at lunch we abstained. We had the Lychee Iced Tea, which was not sweet and so was a nice match with the food. A bit slow taking our orders, but after that the service was spot-on. $68 for two, and complimentary sparkling water to start.

V. B.

Delicious food (as expected from this chain) and stunning setting. Pity our waiter was terrible (although the rest of the staff were much better). Overall experience was therefore pretty average and not worth the price.

S. M.

The food it’s nice but nothing special, I made a booking for my boyfriend’s birthday and they didn’t even allowed to put a ballon in the table. The service was very good. It’s a good place to go with a group of people.

S. A.

great food, great service, i loved the duck dumplings. Our server Dalton was the best

N. A.

Fantastic service, a beautiful view and great food quality. You pay for what you get - and overall I was very pleased with my experience.

S. K.

We don’t have Chinese often, but came here for a hen’s pre-party. The food was tummy!! Service and the wine were very very good. Pricey. I had the fried rice and the lobster which were amazing.

G. K.

Excellent food and great location

s. y.

My absolute Fav Place to eat on a night out. Highly recommend this place. The food is to die for, Literally. Vegetarian San Choy Bow and those amazing Dumplings are the best on the menu!! PIPIS in XO sauce are another must order from the menu. One of the best places to eat out at Barangaroo

A. C.

Fantastic food and service! Dalton will always make sure your experience is wonderful.

A. D.

Went here for my Bday ^^. 10000% recommend their "Masterstock crispy pork with Thai chilli", oxean trout sashimi and Duck Pancake! 😍

Good food, atmosphere and service. Also a good wine selection. Their website is easy to navigate and make bookings and their call centre is great for changing bookings, very helpful when booking work lunches that keep changing.

first time i eat at this restaurant, food was amazing and just so tasty, service was perfect, the atmosphere was so welcoming, the view was perfect. would be back for sure

Z. A.

A good place for a bite, but the serving sizes were pretty small. But the special eggplant and the wok noodles is a must try.

A. M.

Caught up with one of my friends while I was in Sydney for a week with work. We absolutely loved Lotus! The service was lovely and the sommelier was very helpful in assisting my friend with her white wine choice. I can't recommend the $49pp banquet vivid special enough. The food was absolutely delicious and my biggest favourite was the special crescent moon icecream for vivid. It tasted like a mango Weiss bar but only much much better! Please please please keep this dessert on your normal menu! We will be back and will bring more friends so we can try the bigger banquet hehe

V. P.

5th time dining w Lotus Barangaroo w a few friends around 1 month ago. Food standard has always been consistently fresh. Loved the dumplings, such as squid ink dumplings w seafood or duck&spinach dumplings ect. Also, recall that fish w gingers shallots was also lovely. Vegetarian-friendly too. Service was fairly efficient despite twice on Sundays when we did not book in advance, we had to drink at Love.Fish bar waiting for their call. Understandably it's a popular resto... Perhaps Lotus might try to expand their seating capacity to be as large as its younger "half sister" Fujisaki? S

S. W.

Delicious food, lots of vegan options. Some tasty cocktails and very good service. I would definately come back.

M.

The food was fantastic and Dalton really looked after us. Would highly recommend!

M. D.

Tolton was such a pleasure. Not only was the food delicious, but I had such a good time conversing with Tolton about college (we went to schools nearby)! Excellent service, very charming. Thank you Tolton!

L.

Absolutely delicious dining experience, combined with a welcoming, attentive and friendly waiter. Thank you for the great service 😊

D. K.

The food was amazing and we had great service by Dalton! Will definitely come back again!

G. A.

I came back to lotus. Service and food was above and beyond. You definetly will love every single dish. We had Camila in looking after our table, she was lovely.

G. K.

As usual we're vegetarian so limited choices wherever we go. What we had was some dumplings, tofu and some hokkien noodles. Absolutely delicious. I feel sleepy now. Gonna find some place to nap.......

H. S.

Beautiful location, and wonderful food. One of the best places for high quality alfresco dining in Sydney.

M. R.

Fantastic location, very good service and most importantly very good chinese food. Triple thumbs up!

E. L. M.

What an amazing place. It began with the ambiance. what a magical setting, the place was fitted with multiple shades of white contrasted with lightly coloured furnishings. Your sense of smell heightened by the beautiful aromas exiting the very busy kitchen. The menu with its perfect texture was well spread-out and very legible. So many options to choose from, Dumplings, Starters, Seafood Vegetarian the list was endless. It was then when I decided I would speak to the head chef and find out which option was best for me. I walked up to the waiter and asked to speak the head chef. He informed me I would need to go inside and ask for him. Upon entering I noticed a door that said, “do not open ever”. Drawn to this door I could not help but grasp the door handle. I twist and pull. The Door opens and from within a bright all-encompassing light blinded me for a couple of seconds. Finally my eyes adjusted, revealing a lake, surrounded by a lush, mysterious forest. To the right there was a driveway leading to what seemed to be a racetrack. In the distance you could see a green building with smoke bellowing out of the chimney. Suddenly I hear some rustling and from behind a tree I hear a voice. “that building you see in the distance is the lotus factory” I turn and see an old frail man wearing a grey suit and a tie. “in that factory they make all things lotus, including the lotus cars, the lotus flower, and the lotus restaurant food” “are you the head chef?” I asked, my voice trembling. The once frail old man then stood up tall and with a thundering voice he yells “I am the head chef, the founder, the CEO, I am everything lotus, for I am Colin chapman” At that point terrified I began to run towards the door. Without looking back I blasted through the door and emerge back into the bustling restaurant in Sydney’s CBD. I hurry back to my chair and notice the banquet is already served. I begin to indulge in the abundance of food available. I finish and make my way home. What an experience. I loved all the food, nut my pick would have been the 200g of tajim wagyu sirloin with heirloom tomato, crispy leeks and truffle oil. Oh and the spring rolls. You must have the spring rolls.

I. H.

The food and service here is 10/10. I highly recommend Dalton, definitely one of the best waiters I have ever come across!!

N. G.
