Booked this for my friends birthday as they had advertised bottomless brunch online. When we arrived we asked about the bottomless option and they said it had finished 3 weeks ago and they don’t do it anymore! It was still advertised on the website and on the menu. Really disappointing! They were asking us if we wanted anything from the yum cha trolly before we even had a chance to look at the menu/order drinks. When we asked later about the trolly they said it finished at 2pm - we weren’t informed of this. Overall the food was pretty average, small portions. Really disappointing birthday celebration for my friend

Hi Kristina, Thank you for your feedback. We apologise for your experience with us on Sunday and for the confusion surrounding bottomless brunch. We only run our bottomless experience on Saturdays, and it must be selected when booking via OpenTable so our team can prepare accordingly. We’re sorry this wasn’t clearer at the time. Our team did shout your group a round of drinks to apologise and try to make up for the mistake. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future! ☺️

Great food and service as always but compared to the hall street location this one lacks ambience and we sort of felt like we were in a shopping mall. Would be great if they could bring some of that warm Chinese influence to this location.

Thanks for the kind words about the food and service! We understand the new location feels different and we’re working on adding more of that warm Chinese vibe you enjoyed at Hall Street. Thanks for the feedback!

The food was definitely not enough for what you pay for and the waiters keep coming up and grabbing our plates when we weren’t even done.

Nice atmosphere. Lovely staff. Fish was dry and overcooked. Kingfish is a miss. The mushroom and eggplant is flavoursome. Overall the quality has changed since first opening, and wondering if its new owners or cost of produce now
China Diner - BondiResponded on 25 February 2025
Thanks for your feedback Joanna! We’re glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and service but sorry the fish wasn’t up to standard. We’ll share this with our kitchen team to ensure consistency. We’re still the same passionate team and appreciate your support—hope to see you again soon!
