A buzzing restaurant situated in the restaurant precinct of Barangaroo. Lotus offers a strong seafood menu (which I love).
We went here as a group so opted for the $79 banquet menu because we wanted to try a variety of dishes. They were nice enough to substitute the beef option on the menu with an alternative just for me because I do not eat beef. However, I was told by the beef eaters that the dish was fantastic 😁
We asked for a recommended wine to go with the menu and it turned out to be a great medium bodied red (Cabernet Franq 2017 Marq from the Margaret River region) .
Food and service is great here.

Always a pleasure to dine at Lotus. We ordered a few staples, dumplings (prawn & calamari, bbq duck & spinach), beef short ribs with honey ponzu, salt & pepper tofu, steamed fish with ginger & shallot and fried rice.
Dumplings are probably the best way to start the tasting at Lotus. Along with classics such as Xiao Long Bao, Lotus sets the bar fairly high for the dumpling scene. Squid ink, blue swimmer crab and scallop dumplings ($24/4pc) are explosive with flavour from the sea and Xiao Long Bao are juicy and paper thin. It definitely whetted our appetite and we couldn’t wait for the main courses.
Service was devine, food always amazing. Get all the dumplings! Try get an outside table. You need to get the duck pancakes, they are so amazing. Love this vibe and place. Walsh bay venue is also amazing, a little bit more casual
So very impressed with everything about this restaurant. Every single dish was a good portion size and tasting amazing.
It’s not often that you’re still raving about the food as much as we were.
Just enough spice in the sambal and soft shell crab dishes.
The lotus fried rice was the perfect balance of having that fried flavour but not being heavy.
Many compliments to the chef and to the service team too. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient.
Definitely would go here again and recommend to others.
Lotus is one of most popular restaurants in the Barangaroo food strip. The food is cooked well however more on the salty side, so the main dishes needed to be eaten with steamed rice. Highlights were the dumplings, salt and pepper squid and XO hokkien noodles. The squid ink dumplings were very fresh and you could taste each seafood ingredient inside. XO noodles were a surprise as the flavours were very balanced and delicious.
Great food, if you're looking for a change from the regular Asian fare. We had the sweet and sour pork, duck fried rice, salt & pepper tofu and the crispy skin fried chicken to share for 3 hungry friends. Nothing was left but the plates. The staff were friendly and attentive in spite of it being busy. Great place.
Firstly what a location right on the water just down from darling harbour.
The menu is great with a nice selection, food came out very quickly nice and fresh.
The staff are very friendly and professional and know exactly what they are selling we were a group of 6 and everyone loved the place.
The food was amazing!!

Amazing dumplings, their special menu is incredible and makes you want more. Nestled perfectly along the Harbour front with views and food is the perfect way to spend a night out.
Yum!! Great little place. The decor is simple and easy on the eye. Most of the team were friendly and attentive. The dumplings were delicious and tasty. Lots of food options and all of them are delicious, you could definitely spend the whole night just having the starter and side dishes, they are that good!
Great place that is always consistent in terms of food quality, food taste and the customer service. Lots of food options and all of them are delicious, you could definitely spend the whole night just having the starter and side dishes, they are that good! Beer and cocktails are great, though the wine list could be improved. Overall highly recommend to check out!
Friends booked a surprise birthday dinner and we had a great night out with laughs and good food. We ordered the tasting menu so lots of variety and goodies to try. It’s $60pp and worth it. It included dumplings, mains and dessert. The shiitake dumplings were phenomenal, best I’ve ever had and the black bean beef with cauliflower was also a winner. Definitely be back again just to order those two. Duck pancakes and fried rice also deserve a mention, really good. It’s a good looking restaurant, nice and cosy, and staff is friendly and efficient - great night out. Street parking available along Hickson Road 👍 all covid rules followed
Been coming here for years. Never fails to impress.
Super friendly staff - cosy vibes & epic Cantonese/Shanghainese food.
One must book in advance. Real tiny dining space 🙄
Great little place. The decor is simple and easy on the eye. The team was friendly and attentive. The dumplings were delicious and tasty. The cocktail we had was one of the worst. My advice is stick to the wine list as a safe option😜I would recommend this place to my friends for a good lunch destination.
