Great Service, nice deco, great tasty food.
Lunch with a friend, we wanted some dim sum, freshest of the ingredients, simply yummy! We ordered spring roll, siu mai, Lobster and prawn dumpling, dumpling 🥟 my favorite spring rolls and lobster dumpling. Dim sum pair with Jasmine. Will be back to try other dishes.
Great place to dine. Great interior and ambience. Food wasn’t too bad as well although it could be a bit more flavourful. We ordered:
1. Steamed half shell scallop with chilli black bean mayo and crispy wonton skin. $6.5 each (must order!)
2. Pacific oysters with finger lime, ginger and soy sauce $5.5 each (we enjoyed this)
3. Pork and prawn siumai $17 (moderate)
4. Singaporean Vermicelli noodles with prawn and charsui $32 (the least favourite out of all, tasted funny)
5. Duck fried rice $29 (cant taste the duck, but we prefer this to the vermicelli)
6. Chongqing popcorn chicken $34 (the most flavourful out of all we ordered, and tasted really nice too)
My wife bought the Liven voucher and paid using it. Got a discount of almost 50% which is a great deal.Will come back again to try more variety of food!
Brilliant place to dine in on the occasion. The staff were helpful and proactive in topping up drinks and serving food. The food there was divine and very quick to arrive. The flavour profiles they had were interesting and incredible to indulge in. I would recommend getting the crab fried rice and the tomahawk if you’re after a staple and something more extraordinary. The Brussel sprouts dish and okra is just amazing purely because of how they taste and the richness of the sauce used. Would highly recommend if you are taking someone out on a special occasion or for a large gathering
Amazing service, nice ambiance.
Dumplings 🥟 - tasty, well prepared, you can see them prepping front of house
Fish 🐟 - cooked perfectly, classic ginger shallot seafood soy, can't go wrong
Fried eggplant - standout, amazing, needs a bigger serving
Peking duck - solid, but not the best, perhaps given the expectation given a signature from Lotus
Chongqing chicken 🍗 - not pictured but we'll balance, great kick and again perfectly cooked
Cocktails 🍸 - strong, meaning good!
Overall, worth a visit for occassion given the price point.
The food overall was overpriced, quite average and nothing to write home about. Spicy calamari were somewhat enjoyable, but only once like packet of chips, a bit too much flavouring. The soft shell crab portion was small with lots of cheap tasting tomato sauce from a bottle. With the duck fried rice you would need a good macro lens to find the actual duck. You could probably get a better one for 1/3 of a price in a foodcourt nearby.
The wait staff were nice and attentive, but the payment process took too long with some mistakes and unprofessional attitude. Not the place I would be back to.
Lotus is a Sydney gem! The dishes are a symphony of flavours, especially the duck, the beef rib, and the dimsim. Top-notch service, and a delightful atmosphere, it's a dining experience not to be missed. A must-visit in Sydney!
Great place for a business lunch to take clients in Sydney CBD. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and attentive without awkwardness. Peking duck and the personalised carving was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and we'll return again soon!
Oct 2023: Nice mixed Chinese food. Great dumplings and crab rice. Also stir fried beef. Bugs were good but a bit expensive for very little meat.
