Fantastic food here, love the interior and service is just perfect! Dine here and expect to be well looked after. A regular customer with nothing to fault at this Chinese Restaurant. Love the lemon chicken here, deep fried ice-cream and banana split. Quality food with quality service.
Does My Bomb Look Big In This

Walking into Liu Rose is like entering a James Bond movie – The Man With The Golden Gun (1974) to be precise - which was shot in The Sea Palace, a floating restaurant in Hong Kong’s Aberdeen Harbour that was completed in 1958. Even with a more recent external mural, the darkened glass exterior gives little hint of the rich visual treasure that lies within. While the padded red leather surrounds of the well-stocked bar might have faded, the restaurant’s fabulous ceiling – erected in 1971 – trots along unchanged. Hexagonal ceiling features frame shaded chandeliers that cast light upwards so you can see the jade green ceiling details. Circular red and gold door arches take you through from bar to dining space where cleverly moderated late afternoon light adds even more sparkle to the shiny gold walls. There’s a fish tank room divider...
My wife and I always love coming here but, for one reason or another, hadn’t been for several years.
It was a Saturday night. We had actually booked somewhere else (Cedrus in Ryde), to celebrate my wife’s business being shortlisted for an award. But we had an unfortunate experience there and left. Surprisingly, when we phoned the Liu Rose they had room for us.
It was packed when we got there, but we still had a nice table and were taken there promptly. The staff were attentive, helpful and friendly - one in particular was very jovial and joked with us and other guests several times.
The food was magnificent, as it always is here. We had the marinated calamari, beef with honey and pepper and the mixed vegetables with nuts. It was all wonderfully tasty and easily enough to sate our appetite.
A fabulous night out.
Highly recommended.
