China Doll

Kings Cross & Potts Point


Gaze over the Woolloomooloo marina and city skyline as you tuck into deliciously inventive dishes drawing inspiration from all over Asia. The setting on the finger wharf is memorable, but the food keeps up, with delicious textures and flavour combinations. Plates are designed to be shared; there are also a few dim-sum-style options.
