Sea Bay Restaurant - Sydney

Sea Bay, a homophonic term for the northwestern region in China, is a perfect tonic for cold autumn afternoons and nights. The popular food institution in Chinatown serves a cookable hot tea and an assortment of steaming dumplings and soup noodles. The half-sections are definitely inviting individuals or couples who want to try multiple fillings. Grief Grief The pan-roasted handmade dumplings and dumpling soup noodles were decent, but not as god-like as the legendary Chinese noodle restaurant / house nearby. The dumpling skin is visibly thicker and the cut and meat filling is less cumbersome and Fad. The inconsistency is further highlighted by parts that are uncooked and hard.

The place is always busy in lunchtime. Have tried some of your pasta dishes. The food was ok, but not very impressive who comes from northwest in China.

Sea Bay (at Pit Street opposite the World Square) can look like your typical Chinese restaurant, but this restaurant is a true gem. What is missing on aesthetics makes it again in his dumplings. Grief Although not as delicious as dumplings you would get from the gallery of Din Tai Fulg or the chefs, the dumplings are cheap and abundant. They also have their typical Chinese main courses that they would expect from a Eatery in Chinatown, the prices range from 14 to 15 $ per plate and are generous. Grief This place is a hit with university students who can create the place a bit rowing the place, and the waitress is usually nice, but not always attentive, but for the price and the crowd of dumplings, it's worth a visit For a fast, cheap dinner of dumplings. Grief Note: You do not serve alcohol, but they are BYO

Food is patchy, but the good is good. No-frills decor, service quick & obliging, full of regulars mostly with beer & dumplings.  - fried pork dumpings were good enough (menu doesn't say so but they have half servings), most of them were properly fried with a crisp base, though 1 was barely coloured. Frying dumplings isnt complicated, please fry them evenly!  - shallot pancake - literally the best I've ever had, usually these are doughy & stodgy. This one was huge, crisply browned everywhere, & fluffy. I'll be back for this alone.   - chopped noodles were fat & with big chunks of many different veges, spoilt a bit by the shredded leftover-type chicken. I'd get this again but would ask for not meat.  - lamb skewers - not my style, I like meat on skewers marinated & well charred. These were just big hunks of greyish meat - it had been cooked through, but had no grill marks or flame marks, with spices sprinkled over it afterwards. Compared to Lamb... read more

Compared to Lamb & Cumin at the Dixon St Friday market these were a fail for me, but other people might like skewers like this. Some of the chicken soups with noodles/dumplings looked like nice winter meals. This is the kind of place where you need to check out the food on the other tables before you order. Overall I'll be back, but will order very carefully.
