I had the best bday ever in China Doll. Booked 2 weeks in advanced and we tried the banquet for 2; $59 per person. It was amazeballs! All the food is very delicious you won't regret it. Great service!
Went with a friend the other night. The service was good, amazing views , great choice of cocktails and we decided to go for the banquet menu and it was all so great tasting food with that price.
Pork belly ! Go for a la carte instead of the banquet. You can pick the dishes you want, also the banquet is too filling - had this in a group of 4 and couldn't finish all the dishes
The banquet menu will fill you up even if you are very hungry/eat a lot! The chicken salad , pork belly and wagyu curry are all amazing!
The banquet for two is amazing! Especially the scallops , pork belly and Penang curry ! No joke the best we've ever eaten! Not to mention the service! Best waitress we've ever had! Highly Recomended!!
Amazing food, great service and a relaxed atmosphere . So many good dishes - my favorite has to be the king crab . If you intend to shine in summer before 8pm, make sure you bring a hat or sit inside
Amazing service - our gorgeous waitress Anita noticed it was my birthday and organised some special treats for us. So thoughtful! Get half portions for two and you can try more!
Peking Duck Pancakes & the Pork Special were sensational! Keen to come back to try the dumplings , penang wagyu beef shin curry and Pork belly with chilli caramel & nam pla phrik. Great service.
Very difficult to go past the 7 course banquet for $62. Great selection from the menu and outstanding value for a high calibre restaurant .
Delicious Chinese/Asian-fusion in a cool setting along the wharf. Banquet is a lot of food! Worth the money.
Great place. Food is sensational Duck Pancakes are our favourite. A must visit in Sydney.
Start with the pork belly lettuce wraps and if they have it on special, get the whole red snapper . (Waterside dining is GORGEOUS - views of Wolloomolloo Wharf and CBD beyond.)
Stunning waterside dining with spicy Oriental flavours served on elegant Blue Willow crockery. Kickin wine list and splendid specials. Scallops always a win, and school prawns if they have them
Incredible. Get the deluxe banquet - it's worth it. Special mention to the dumplings and shu mai, duck pancakes and Alaskan crab !
Eggplant and tofu main with Sichuan chili sauce was amazingly delicious and flavorful. Tofu cooked perfectly.
Pork belly is a must! Went @ 12 and the service was awesome! Would recommend to all, just be weary you night just over order.
Sichuan Salt & Pepper Prawns w Wok Toasted Chilli & Garlic was my favourite dish of the night. Great service & idea to get 1/2 size portion.
2 Rieslings by the glass and 12 by the bottle make sure you book , and order the eggplant . If they have the crispy school prawns on special, settle in with Blue Willow plates and a bottle of Riesling

Can't fault this place! Service outstanding , ambience is amazing and food is some of the best Asian I've ever had. A quality night out, bit pricey but worth it!
Amazing degustation menu . You will have to book way in advance if you have a big group.
Amazing food. All the dumpling . Salt and pepper shrimp . Lettuce wraps . Beef and mushrooms . Pork fried rice . Amazing.
Judging this place based on my stringent Asian taste buds, I'd give it a B grade. Pork belly could have a stickier caramelization , marrons were tasty but $50?!, crispy chicken was nice but unmemorable
Wow this is bloody brilliant! Can't fault it, the dumpling , the Panama curry , the wine !
Amazing service, try the szechuan pepper prawn and don't forget to pair with the multi-varietal GSM :)
San choy bau and sticky rice were highlights of a tasty, reasonably classic menu. Only disappointment was the length of time over which the food was served (total meal time over 2 hrs).
The scallops are a flavour explosion and the lemongrass panacotta is just fantastic.
we had a work lunch upstairs which was wonderful - exceptional service along with the usual superb dishes
Make sure you dress up. People are looking good in here. Gorgeous looking staff :)
Pick anything blindly from the menu, it will not disappoint! Wow cocktails , amazing service....
It was ok, great service but for the hype thought food was good but not great. Thought the banquet would be more food, the three men in our party had to eat a lot of rice to feel slightly full.
This restuarant is the best - and I normally find Chinese food specifically, quite greasy! But this restuarant knows how to keep it light and tasty
As others have said - try the pork belly !
Amazing banquet menu and great service
Pork belly , seafood in general
The food here is absolutely amazing. Recommend the Sashimi starter and the Wagu Beef curry
Alaskan crab leg is out of this world!
Had the $79 banquet meal - amazing!!!! what an array of foods. so delicous. would recommend it to anyone!
Try the pork belly - delicious!
The view was nice. The food was a bit boring. Friendly service .
Ling Ling and China Colada cocktails are also to dies for (along with the pork belly )
Half duck with fresh plums and Asian greens is gorgeous & enough for 2 people
Food isn't amazing for the price and they made us over order. Also felt like they pressured us a bit for drinks.
Try the 'Chilli Salt Squid ' & 'Sichuan Salt & Pepper Prawns w Chilli & Garlic ' - awesome! Read more
Love the drunken beef & Asian style cocktails ! Mmm
Good food, decent sized servings, good service but slightly overpriced.
You have to have the banquet just to get the deserts . Heavenly.
Pork belly is to die for
The pork belly is awesome!
Great place for celeb spotting
chicken with chillies facing up and the numbing pork is to die for!!! - Eric Lewanavanua
Apart from the great beer garden they also serve beautiful food and wine in the restaurant. Try the Vistalba Corte B Argentinean Malbec for some of the best red wine around. - Dave Kynaston
What used to be a wharf is now a cool place for F&B, hotel and apartments. Worth a visit if u r in the Woolloomooloo area. Do not miss the navy vessels parked next to it. - Ting
Super nice setting. Perfect for walks, picnics or just generally hanging out. Free entrance. - James Ferguson
