Impressive, the faultless service was complemented by some excellent (different & vary tasty) food. I will make this my go to place when visiting Star City.
Didn't think it was open until we went through the entrance
Once we did everything was wonderful.
The service, decor and importantly the food were all excellent
Never disappointed. This restaurant is for any occasion. Nothing is any trouble for the staff and the food is amazing.
I feel like this place is a hidden gem, it's in a random location but always busy. The restaurant is set up in an old church which is quite different, and the service was lovely. We ordered the entree tasting plate for two and the diced beef with black pepper sauce.
Best dish: pepper beef - the meat was so soft and tasty!
The scallops were overly fishy tasting to me so I wouldn't order again, but I did enjoy the dumplings and beef pancakes a lot. Spring rolls are a bit bland. Overall a great experience though, I would come again
The restaurant is in an old church building and not easy to find but the food is amazing. nothing fancy but very well prepared and carefully constructed dishes. perfect pork dumplings, beef pancakes, fried rice, garlic shrimp. Wish I lived in Sydney so that i could visit regularly.
This place is situated behind an old church this outlet is very quite and comfortable for sitting . We tried chinese and some indian food out there and all I can say is that it is a must visit place for everyone because due to church near it this place is very quite and peoples who want to spend some lovable time can go there.

It doesn't look like there's a restaurant there when you start to get close to Blue Eye Dragon. You'll probably say something like "It's got to be here somewhere, but this is a church here!" Fear not, you are in fact in the right place. Blue Eye Dragon is inside what looks like a former church hall. They've done a nice job in decking it out, yet they've managed to keep the character of the former hall as well in a tasteful way. We'd seen their menu online and already decided that we were going to have our own version of Taiwanese Tapas, because there were so many tasty looking smaller dishes.
Extremely flavoursome food! The restaurant is actually situated in the back of an old church which I think is really funky. We bought their set menu options per head and we were very happy with the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Wine list is good but they don’t actually have spirits on their menu, you have to personally enquire and ask about them.
Overrated. Depends what you order, its a hit and miss. I've been there on three occasions. The presentation of the lobster is wow factory, but disappointed as it was over priced and tasteless. Impressive......., no not really.
Went there last night for my 25th birthday with friends. The atmosphere there is more suitable for date I think but I like it!
In terms of food, we have chosen 55 per head and tried the dishes recommended by the beautiful lady! A failure to choose all 6 entrees for deep fried but all taste nice. For the main, I love the stewed chicken with three cups sauce and beef steak!

Some restaurants fly quietly under the radar. I’m surprised to see it’s actually been more than five years since I last dined at Blue Eye Dragon. This is through no fault of the restaurant – which puts out interesting, well-executed Taiwanese food – I just only seem to remember it when I find myself starving in Pyrmont, and keen to avoid The Star. We popped through recently without a reservation, after the launch of a local bar left us hungry for more.With an understated exterior, even knowing this restaurant, it’s still hard repress a gasp when you open the doors into the cavernous church school hall dining room. It’s immediately apparent that this isn’t the usual Taiwanese fast-food outlet you might have become used to in Sydney – though they do that too, at Grain & Spice on Union Street. And with nary a whisper, the team from Blue Eye Dragon also opened Wu-Gu in Zetland last year. At that spot they are trotting out many of the same dishes as this original space, including Eye Fillet in House Black Pepper Sauce ($36). An exercise in extreme tenderness, these tasty hunks of eye fillet are...
Beautiful restaurant that is immaculate on the inside but totally unassuming of the outside. The food here is authentic Taiwanese with a high level of care and attention with all the dishes i had there. The atmosphere is crisp and fresh but with a sense of homely neighbourhood to it. The service is attentive and engaging. I highly recommend the Prawn omelette and the slow cooked pork belly. Get one of each dessert!
Interesting menu as it's not the typical Chinese
However the food was excellent and we enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant
Will come back
All dishes we had were beautifully prepared and fresh. The plum prawns were especially beautiful. Efficient friendly staff and nice ambience.
Going out for dinner during the week isn't something I like doing but it was needed. We'd had a huge day & wanted to try a local restaurant we've been hearing about since we moved here. (I embraced my inner beauty & went make-up free for dinner). We made

Tucked away in an old church-school is this rather extraordinary dining room housing Blue Eye Dragon , an award-winning Taiwanese restaurant. The dumplings at this off-the-beaten-track Pyrmont standout are a definite attraction - Pork Dumplings with Chives, Ginger and Shallot ($10) arrive plump and perfectly formed. If you like them as much as I did, buy a frozen take-home pack ($25/kg). Reasonably new to Taiwanese cuisine, I groped for analogies. There are definitely Mainland Chinese influences in dishes like impeccably battered Salt and Pepper Soft Shell Crab ($14) ; and it's a must-have. You'll also find Japanese influences, evident in moist and crunchy Deep Fried Chicken with Basil and Five Spice ($10) , which would be hard for anybody to dislike! Expect great restraint in flavour intensity, especially in the house-made fish sauce with the Queensland Scallops with Shallots ($21/6) . As a result the tasty produce sings - also evident in the well-cooked Wild Caught Barramundi (market
Salt and Pepper Soft Shell Crab. The Salt & Pepper Soft Shell Crab would have to be the best in Sydney as we have tried it at many Restaurants and they just don't do it as nicely as BED. Also the scallops are really yummy as are the Pork Dumplings.
Great atmosphere and food. Love this hidden gem
Can be hard to find the first time but after that there has been for us a second time a third time and so on , many freinds recommended and they all find the food to be outstanding , we have tried everything on the menu and the shared entree plate is excellant and blood prawns are my wifes favourite , for me the salt and peper crab is to die for.
Asian food in Western style setting. Wanted to try a different type of Asian restaurant rather than the typical Chinatown joints where the service is hit and miss.
Food tasted good but portion sizes were a tad on the small side for this Asian/Australian family.
Service was excellent which brings my rating up.
Delicious food. The food is delicious and the service was very good. A little on the pricey side, but overall a good experience.
Recommend the entrees! So yummy! Beef pancakes, salt + pepper soft shell crab (crispy & delicious!), scallops & pork dumplings. All were absolutely delicious!! Next time we will skip mains & just eat a number of entrees, tapas style! Great restaurant in a handy spot. Love this history of the site & the quaint courtyard.
No longer byo. Lovely linen table cloths in a funky space. Good wine list. The seafood banquet is the go. Chicken chunks delicious, dumplings fresh and tasty, duck pancake delightful. Stir fry prawns with ginger, and the barramundi both lovely. But the beef in XO sauce is a highlight. Confusingly, and notwithstanding the menu stating 10 courses, only 8 courses for 3 people. That might sound like a petty grievance, but the "grin-fu%#ing" by the waiter was too much fun. Most pleasant.
Fantastic fresh food, go for a banquet - great value for money and an excellent mixture of flavours
Elegant Twainese food. Too many choices? Got a group of 4 or more? Go for the pick-your-own combination of dishes banquet for your group... some interesting dishes... desserts include some asian-style offerings - go on be adventurous!
Garry. A hidden gem. Worth the effort to find just to enjoy their ultra thin pancakes and unbelievable poached fish. No one else gets it so light and soft yet full of flavour.
Service is good. Prices reasonable.
This is going to be a regular dinner destination for me.
A Hidden Gem. Wonderful food, friendly, charming service in a relaxed, warm atmosphere. Some terrific taste sensations. Minor note of disappointment - every time we went there, they had some sort of excuse why they couldn't take my AMEX card; I finally complained to AMEX about this & next time we went, no problemo with AMEX - go figure!
Delicious and perfect food. In house made dumplings are plump, fresh and so tasty and some of the best I've had. Don't forget to ask for the home made chilli. Service is polite and professional in a clean and comfy space. A weekly go to for our office. I can highly recommend.
We had dinner at this restaurant before going to a musical. The food was very delicious, especially the prawns & scallops. The ambience/ atmosphere was great, cozy and elegant. The mochi cake for dessert wasn’t as good as I thought, but overall loved the experience.
Sadly, I couldn’t take any photos of the great dinner experience.
We ordered the shared entree, the rib eye and chicken with sprouts (I believe) as mains and it was all delicious.
The waiters took really good care of us and made sure all went smoothly.
10/10 recommended and will definitely be going back.
Excellent authentic Taiwanese food! So glad we finally visited. Lovely service and attentive staff with a calming and relaxing environment. Highly recommend the banquet for 3 people and you must have the tender beef! Good food portions and be careful not to over order :) Will be back.
We dined with Muriel and the team again on Saturday 2/4 and, unsurprisingly, we were blown away again by the service, atmosphere and the food. We had the banquet and every dish that was served was fresh, with beautiful flavours. The meal was bountiful and the wine we chose was an equal match for the meal. This restaurant is highly recommended for any occasion - romantic, business or family celebration, all you have to do is book and be amazed.
We always love coming here and on a cold Tuesday night this week we were not disappointed. Warm and welcoming Muriel and her team are marvellous. All the food is delicious, the dumplings, crispy bean curd roll stuffed with chicken mince & water chestnuts are consistent favourites amongst many others, and of course always the pork belly. A new dish of braised cabbage with bacon bits was a hit too. Don't usually have room for dessert but this time winter appetites were able to fit in rice cakes and house made ice cream. So yummy and a good choice of reasonably priced wines. So lucky to have this restaurant in our 'hood. Tkyu Muriel, Lorraine & George.
