You must visit here, dumplings are hand made and soooo tasty, the handmade noodles are to die for.
Decent prices. Convenient location. Great portion sizes and I love how you can byo. My go to. My only dislike is that they have a time limit. I guess they are a business so it’s understandable.
Dumplings are just amazing great ratio of filling to rapper. We tried the fried pork dumplings and the steamed pork dumplings. We were thrilled with both. Will be back!
Extremely casual dining at Sea Bay, with very small and basic interiors, causing you to feel like you and the other diners are all over each other. If you're okay with walking through the kitchen (with slippery floors) to the bathroom and paying in cash, then nothing should stop you from coming here.
Dumplings, noodles and vegetables are absolutely stunning. The food comes out quick, hot and in huge portions. Love this for a casual dinner or even popping into for lunch, but beware of the inevitable food coma afterwards!
The food here is excellent. The place is extremely small and you must enter via a sliding patio door at the front of the building. They DO NOT accept credit cards, cash only. Unfortunately it was only after we finished our meal that we found this out and being international travellers had to pay absorbent banking fees to withdraw cash at a local ATM.
Had somewhat high expectations for this place as it's always busy, but it was just OK. The noodles were nice but I've also had similar quality noodles at many other Chinese restaurants, and it most certainly does not match the level of noodles in Chinatown. The pumpkin dumplings were something different but I would probably not get them again as it seemed more of a dessert than eaten with the savoury food and I am more of a savoury food person in any situation.

Sea Bay is one of my top go-to dumpling venues in Sydney.
Their dumplings are delicious. All of them.
Don’t go without trying their pepper pork either. It’s to die for. We usually have to get a second plate because: yummo.
This is definitely one of the kings of no-frills restaurants that is the perfect spot for a satisfying dumpling feast.
BYO and enjoy feasting away for any reason from an after work dinner through to a birthday celebration.
Cheap and awesome.

Food is patchy, but the good is good. No-frills decor, service quick & obliging, full of regulars mostly with beer & dumplings.
- fried pork dumpings were good enough (menu doesn't say so but they have half servings), most of them were properly fried with a crisp base, though 1 was barely coloured. Frying dumplings isnt complicated, please fry them evenly!
- shallot pancake - literally the best I've ever had, usually these are doughy & stodgy. This one was huge, crisply browned everywhere, & fluffy. I'll be back for this alone.
- chopped noodles were fat & with big chunks of many different veges, spoilt a bit by the shredded leftover-type chicken. I'd get this again but would ask for not meat.
- lamb skewers - not my style, I like meat on skewers marinated & well charred. These were just big hunks of greyish meat - it had been cooked through, but had no grill marks or flame marks, with spices sprinkled over it afterwards. Compared to Lamb & Cumin at the Dixon St Friday market these were a fail for me, but other people might like skewers like this.
Some of the chicken soups with noodles/dumplings looked like nice winter meals. This is the kind of place where you need to check out the food on the other tables before you order. Overall I'll be back, but will order very carefully.
The place is always busy at lunch time. Have tried some of their noodle dishes. Food was ok, but not very impressive for who come from northwestern China.
Not in world square but across the opposite side on Pitt st. loud but cheap and tasty! Close to the city and BYO xxxxxxx
Yummy food from a wide menu. We had stir fried Bok Choy in garlic, spring rolls, chicken and wonton soup and honey chicken. It was way too much food for us, we could've shared the soup it was so generous! Friendly server. Good value
Sea Bay Restaurant specialises in Chinese noodle dishes, specifically stir fried and noodle soups. Interestingly, they do offer vegan option, being the vegan stir fried chopped noodles, and quality is decent.
I’ve seen rats here. But I still love it and will always go back. Amazing dumplings! The lamb is sensational too!
Sea Bay has become a Sydney institution for quality hand made noodles, noodle soups and northern Chinese style dumplings and buns. From its humble beginnings in Ashfield, Sea Bay has since carved out a name for itself in the Sydney Central business district as the go to venue for dumplings and buns. The venue is also BYO which is geared for you to have a good time. If you are in large groups it is essential to make a booking as there are often lines out the door with long wait times. Recommended dishes include pork pan fried or boiled dumplings, fried lamb pancakes and cumin lamb hand made noodles.
