China Doll

Great food. Nice vibe.
PS they lose a star for bringing the cider out with ice in the glass. Twice.

I was in a party of 4 taking my 20 year old daughter out for her birthday. The meal was great as were the cocktails. Unfortunately the staff where rude and unfriendly. We were there for dinner on a Thursday evening and had a great table. I was surprised and disappointed at the behaviour. Really very unprofessional.

Splendid evening with a great atmosphere. You pay for the value of what you get and it certainly did not disappoint us. The smoke duck has a great flavour.. as a matter of fact all dishes were all well balanced in flavour. The staff are very attentive. Highly recommended for a modern Asian with variety of fusions.. clever blended spices and herbs.

Food was good but very let down by the service. The lady at the front door made us feel welcome but that's where the service ended. Tried to wave at a waitress to order. She looked straight at me and kept walking. Had to raise my hand like I was in primary school to get a staff members attention to order.
They all seemed to have a bad attitude.
Won't be going back.

Have attempted to dine at this venue twice well with in the advertised opening hours. At 8:45 The staff simply said we are closed clearly open and tables available. Well inside the advertised 10 o'clock closing time with absolutely no regard or respect whatsoever.. staff just simply said we are closed. This has happened on two occasions. Looking in the kitchen, staff were simply on their mobile phones and could not be bothered to accept us as patrons of this venue. Don't bother.

I found that you are really paying for the location which at night is totally pointless, as it's dark and you can't see the water obviously. Our party was served in a "family style" which is difficult to portion at the table our selves. For the price it should come portioned per person. The service was fine no complaints. But if you really love food and aren't fussed on the location just go to China town or spice alley.

Food was definitely pan-Asian in flavour rather than classically authentic but still tasty. Good service. Good vibe.

So gooood. If you can not make up your mind try the fixe prix menu.

Very expensive for the quality of food it has. Service is very good but he restaurant only has several dishes that it can be remembered by.

The food is kind of mixture of Asian and Western style. The taste is just average level.

Services was excellent and an awesome menu, with that mixed / fusion style of cooking, there was hits and misses... scallops and fish were slightly over, with interesting flavour that weren't expected. Pork belly was really good!

Stunning waterside dining with spicy Oriental flavours served on elegant Blue Willow crockery. Kickin wine list and splendid specials. Scallops always a win, and school prawns if they have them

One sleep until you can view the mastermind behind this dish (and many others), show off his skills on Food Safari Water. Catch Frank Shek tomorrow evening @ 8pm on SBS!
