    Delicious all around. Eggplant and Fioretto were standouts! Noisy extractor fan so try and get a table near window at front

    Have dined here before and today the soy sauce noodle dish was unexpectedly too salty, I returned the dish and they happily prepared a new one that was much less salty, as expected. Absolutely respectful and great service. Staff were always attentive today and I must say they are very kind and sharp.

    We had a lovely lunch.We have visited Lotus in all locations but find this little gem more intimate. Unfortunately we chose to have the set menu and thought we were a little rushed. Food was good but didn’t have enough time between courses to enjoy

    I love this place - amazing food and intimate setting. Exhaust fan if you are sitting outside is a downer but it’s a great place to eat dumplings, and squid, and crispy chicken, and beef, and - well - everything

    Food was fab, service was pleasant but a mix of full on and then suddenly nothing. Food was a little overpriced considering the simplicity of many of the dishes. Because space is at a premium, I must have had my chair knocked by one of the staff members at least 10 times. The food was definitely the hero of the night. Will be back.

    Lotus Dumpling Bar Walsh BayOwner

    Lotus Walsh Bay is my favourite dumpling restaurant in Sydney and quite possibly the world. Wontons in Spicy Sauce, any of the pot stickers, beef -- I wish they had loyalty cards :)
