The fresh oysters were really good, with nice dressing. The Calamari appetiser was great & tender. The Chongqing (popcorn) Chicken was so tasty. They’re pricier than the usual restaurants I go too, but it’s good for special occasions. Nice ambience & great service. Kids friendly too, as they’re give activity pack for kids (or I believe you can request this).

I don't normally leave reviews but I was very disappointed with the food. I had dinner at lotus before and it was good so I decided to bring mum there. We order the salt and pepper squid, the squid is so small and so chewy that it's like rubber. The pork belly was dry and hard. Even the salted duck egg yolk bun have little duck egg yolk favour. I did feed back to the staff about the quality of squid. Overall very disappointing.

We came here for a dinner on a Saturday night and got the $109 banquet. Food was good but for the price, I would have expected more. I really enjoyed the pecking duck, dim sum and scallop dish although the desert was a bit too sweet. The staff were friendly and attentive, also catering the menu to our needs (spice level and intolerance).

《Lotus》 Lotus is a Chinese cuisine restaurant with several locations. I found the ingredients to be incredibly fresh, and the service here was exceptionally warm and friendly. During my recent visit to Sydney to meet with clients, we decided to try Lotus’s vegetarian dishes as my client follows a vegetarian diet. Apart from the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which I ordered for myself, everything else in the picture is vegetarian. I highly recommend the vegetarian lettuce wraps. The flavors are wonderfully balanced, and although it's a light dish, the tofu adds a satisfying element that fulfills your appetite. The mushroom vegetarian dumplings are another great option. As for the tofu, they’ve perfected the texture – crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Truly well-executed! In terms of drinks, I suggest trying the Blood Orange Oolong Tea. The refreshing citrus aroma paired with the oolong tea makes the entire meal feel light and refreshing, without any heaviness. I encourage everyone to visit Lotus for their snacks, and don’t forget to pair it with one of their delightful beverages. It’s a treat worth experiencing!

Fantastic food with an upscale atmosphere. Food is 5/5 and I would highly recommend anyone coming here at least once. No real complaints, food was delivered quick and was delicious. Good amount of vegan options too and were able to cater to any dietary needs (dairy free/vegan/etc) Staff were attentive although I found at times too attentive and this is why I’ve marked down a star. It felt like I never got a good five minutes to just sit and decide what I wanted or have five minutes to eat my food in peace. Constant staff asking if I was ready to order and even once my food was delivered it seemed like staff didn’t have enough to keep themselves occupied. I understand that a restaurant of this particular price point is expected to have better and more service, however the line between good service and too much service is thin. Still highly recommend this place for anyone, the service was just a bit excessive in my opinion.
