Didn't know what to think with the mixed reviews but we bought a Groupon voucher to try anyway for the all you can eat buffet. Dined there yesterday (Sunday 13th Nov) for lunch. Cold, fresh and tasty prawns, fried prawns, chilli fish, crab cooked two ways, wagyu beef, Peking duck, crispy skin duck, steamed dumplings and about 60 dishes in all - and at no time were the serving platters empty for more than five minutes - most were topped up before they ran out. The place was full so they really did excel at keeping up. Amazing flavours too. Highly recommended. Photo 1 shows some of the 60+ dishes octopus down the bottom, next to it Peking duck pancakes and to the left wagyu beef. Photo 2 shows the cold king prawns and photo 3 shows chilli fish on the left, crab with one sauce on the right, somewhat obscured are the cold prawns and two more closed servers, one with fried prawns the other with a second crab dish. Note also in this photo how full the restaurant was and how full the serving bowls/trays were.
This place really deserves a 5. The food is fantastic, I got Peking Duck (1/2 duck), Wagyu Beef fried rice, Stir fried beans and San Choy Bao.
The Wagyu Beef fried rice is amazing, the beef is really finely diced almost infused with the rice and there's little rice bubble pops on top that gives it this amazing texture.
Furthermore, the service and ambience of the place is great. They are almost over staffed so the waiters are really attentive. Definitely will keep going back!
They served decent Peking ducks. Can tell some unique and pleasant fragrance (fruity & woody) "infused" into the duck, probably due to the special kind of wood they use during the preparing process (not quite sure). Anyway just enjoy it, it's Peking duck and it's yum.
Wai Tan is definitely a breath of fresh air for Chinatown. It’s bold, brave and unashamedly modern. Considering $10 million was invested in this restaurant, the lavish decor, private dining rooms and formidable bars do not come as a surprise.
Waitan is another restaurant that has been on my list ever since I decided to enter the blogosphere. Mostly because I read a tonne of media coverage regarding their opening featuring models, Lamborghinis and chefs flown out just to be there. I mean, come on.
Hot girls, hot cars and hot food is basically my life in seven words.

This place will definitely make its way up to the top very soon. The dining experience will no doubt be a memorable one, allowing you to experience the richest of the Chinese culture.
This is a new restaurant so you don't really know if it will good. Time generally determines whether one will make it or not. Having read a few reviews about the lavish opening and how much coin was spent on this place; I didn't know what to expect. Apparently the highlight dish to try was the duck. My munchkin friend ordered the duck even though it was for two and she is tiny.
We arrived at the entrance to Lamborghini's, models and a red carpet. Once we walked inside it was a jaw dropping surprise.
WAITAN: A NEW CONCEPT IN LUXE ASIAN DINNING WHERE EAST MEETS WEST AND OLD MEETS NEW LIKE NEVER BEFORE Located at the heart of Sydney Chinatown, Waitan has emerged in Oct 2013 with a promise to deliver the ultimate Asian foodie experience. Waitan is the first Australian venture for Asian hospitality groups, Xiang Er Qing and Tung Lok, with Patrick Tian as the local managing director and Aaron Ching as the Chief operating officer. Together with over $10 million spending and a stunning 2,500sqm venue, Waitan has certainly set its impression to bring a new and exciting vibe to the old Chinatown. "My Hunger will go on" was really grateful to be invited to this party at Waitan, and we knew what we were going to see on the night would be amazing and memorable. We arrived just before the sun went down, and there we saw the colourful Lamborghinis sitting glamorously at the entrance and attracting many attentions from the public. At that instant, we couldn't wait to walk up the red carpet and ch
The unique twist to this dish however is that the pancakes are served on a purpose-made tray with a heat pack and boiling water to keep the pancakes hot and moist which I thought was a really nice touch to a dish that normally turns cold quickly.
We dropped into Waitan for dinner and not having been here prior to the changes the cuisine is now largely hongkong/singaporean with a larger focus on authentic asian cusine. Liked just about all the chinese food dishes we ordered - from the Peking Duck to the Singaporean prawns. Cold starter dish, the szetchuan chicken dish was great. Wagyu beef was buttery and rather amazing.
The dessert was a bit of a miss though. Fellow dinners like the pav dish but for me it was all kind of middling and a miss. Would have been nice to end on some killer tarts and mango pancake.
I just had dinner from WaiTan yesterday. It's brilliant. Think about that 138 dollar plus 25 dollar cooking fee per kilo of lobster in this kind of elegant restaurant. It's really cheap.
I have no idea to say bad thing about this restaurant. That's food so delicious and I think you're must try go there to get some dinners with you family or friends there is good place for the dinner n feeling comfortable with services especially the runner who always keep smiling while the service that look like they have a good manager :)
