    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!

    Horrible experience. They never told us how long it was (90 minutes) when we sat down, and they also didn’t inform us when the last order was. I only found out when I asked, and by then, it had already passed. When we brought it up, the manager just blamed us for not checking in advance instead of acknowledging that they should at least let customers know when they arrive. On top of that, the drinks came out really slowly, which wasted a lot of our time. The portion size was ok but to be honest, it tasted quite poor and definitely not authentic. At the end of the day, I understand their perspective as a business but they wouldn’t take any of my feedback and attacked me instead which is why I’m writing this review (which I’ve never done before). Overall not a great experience and wouldn’t want to support a business that operates like this.
    China Diner - BondiResponded on 12 February 2025
    Hi Tian! We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. When booking the bottomless package via OpenTable, the first line states that the package is available for 90 minutes as well as on our website and all social posts referring to this offering. Our team follows strict RSA guidelines and cannot serve package drinks beyond the 90-minute service period. We appreciate your feedback and apologise if this wasn’t communicated as clearly as it should have been. We typically receive great feedback on our bottomless brunch and would love the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience. Best, China Diner Team
