About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
The Lotus Dumpling Bar began life as a warehouse built in the early 1900s for the Sydney Port Authority. There are remnants of the past in this rustic space with its polished copper tones and beautifully exposed brickwork. Walsh Bay is where theold transforms into the new.

At Dumpling Bar the service is professional and familiar, being a local favourite. We look forward to welcoming you to experience our original restaurant.

    Food was great. We sampled a lot of dumplings - fave would be the Szechuan spiced prawn and pork wontons. Duck pancakes were filled with lots of crispy skinned duck. The black pepper beef was melt in the mouth. Service was attentive & helpful. Would definitely go back

    Not a very big place but gorgeous and atmosphere is lovely. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. It’s a little hard to find and away from all the hustle and bustle but definitely worth the effort. We will be going back for some more of their delicious dumplings!

    The dumplings were pretty good but we ordered the green beans with pork mince which I have eaten at this restaurant many times. It is usually their BEST dish. This time it tasted awful - a strong fish flavour - basically inedible. We didn’t eat any of it. When I notified the waitstaff they didn’t take it off the bill or apologise! The pepper beef was also very average - not as bad but just overly saucy and not the quality I’d expect for the price. Don’t think I will be returning here.

    Fantastic food and service. Covid restrictions keep the numbers down so not as much of a buzz as it would be under normal circumstances but otherwise, excellent.
