Located in West HQ, it's literally next door to the Coliseum Theatre. I have been twice now, both before shows. You can book easily enough online and doing so includes an option to flag that you're attending a performance. The food is served relatively quickly; so there was plenty of time to eat at a leisurely pace and still be early for the show. The service is great. The wait staff are lovely. And a special shout-out to the manager, who remembered me from my previous visit. Just a small thing maybe, but meaningful to me. In the end, it comes down to the food. There are a la carte and several banquet menus to choose from. I went the former.lAnd it was delicious! I am a sucker for duck pancakes and these were as good as I have had! All in all, I can't wait to go back!

We came for the $49 Thursday night tasting banquet. Wow! Soooo much food for the two of us but they kindly packed up the leftovers without us even having to ask. We've been to China Doll in Woolloomooloo many times so we knew the food would be very tasty. Loved the penang beef curry and fried chicken. Service was great too. Enjoy!

Chu by China Doll sits inside West HQ in Rooty Hill looking like someone found the corporate chequebook, removed the safety catch, and fired it directly at the interiors budget. This is not some sad corner of an RSL club where schnitzels go to die under heat lamps. Chu has been built to impress. There is a great golden Buddha out front. There is mood lighting. There is polished marble, ornamental detail, the general atmosphere of “destination dining” and the sense that no one got this restaurant approved via a spreadsheet. Which makes the first impression at midday on a Saturday a little odd. The downstairs food court was chaos. Families, teenagers, small children in post-sport recovery mode, parents trying to negotiate pizza, steak, gelato, and the emotional fallout of Saturday morning sport. Meanwhile, upstairs at Chu, perhaps one-sixth of the restaurant was full. A beautiful room, certainly. But also one with the faint energy of a wedding reception before the guests have arrived. The service, to be fair, was lovely. Attentive, warm, and clearly trying. Perhaps a little too attentive at times. There are only so many ways one can answer “How is everything?” before it starts to feel less like service and more like a hostage welfare check. But that is a forgivable sin. Better a team that cares too much than one that vanishes into the witness protection program after dropping the menus. The menu leans itself pan-Asian, which in practice means a kind of diplomatic summit between familiar Cantonese-ish club favourites, Southeast Asian detours, and the occasional item that appears to have wandered in from a children’s birthday party after a brainstorming session involving tequila and reading Dan Hong’s cook book. There are pork xiao long bao, salt and pepper squid, sizzling black pepper beef, crispy chicken, Thai-flavoured barramundi, and, yes, cheeseburger spring rolls. This is the familiar bargain of Asian fusion dining in Australia: the prices go up, the portions come down, and the room becomes more beautiful. The salt and pepper squid arrived with all the charm of something that had lost a fight with hot oil. It was greasy, heavy on pepper spice, and short on the clean, crispy snap that makes this dish such a joy when done well. The xiao long bao were worse for a different reason. Xiao long bao should feel generous. These felt more like a tasting sample from a food court stall, with a measly three dumplings in a steamer. Then came the sizzling black pepper beef at $38, which made a noise on arrival but not much of an argument once eaten. The beef was tough, oddly flavourless, and carried that supermarket meat-tray quality. The crispy skin chicken was better, but again, the portion consisted of a small chicken breast and a single maryland only. And that, really, is Chu in miniature. There is potential here. West HQ clearly wanted a serious restaurant to attract big spenders, not just another club dining option, and Chu does have the bones of something much better than average.

My mum and I came to Chu for lunch and had such a wonderful experience (as we always do when we come here). The cocktails were absolutely delicious, the food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to William, who looked after us so well throughout our meal, and to Joseph, who made our amazing cocktails. They were both friendly, welcoming, and really helped make our lunch so enjoyable. We left thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Chu to anyone looking for great food, delicious cocktails, and outstanding service!

Celebrated mum’s birthday at this gorgeous restaurant at West HQ. The food was amazing. Bonus points for the duck pancakes, egg noodles and desserts (mango pancakes and matcha ice cream. The staff gave mum a special birthday cake to finish off a memorably family lunch. Will come again soon. Ask for Phoebe next time you visit and she’ll look after you.
