Excellent restaurant. Wait staff were attentive, entertaining and helpful in selecting items from the menu. The tasting menu was very reasonably priced. I walked away leaving food behind feeling extremely full. The restaurant did get a little noisy but mainly due to one rather loud patron (not the fault of Blue Eye Dragon that is for sure). Will definitely return.

This isn't the cheapest Chinese but one of the tastiest. My favourites are prawns with Jade's bloody plum sauce and the movenpick ice-cream. My mum says that the prawns are a great way to get away with some swearing. But it was a tasty meal. Well worth the trip from Forestville. The one thing is it got noisy but other than that it was great.

Polite yet friendly service and very good food. Great to find an Asian restaurant that uses quality meat. Stylish modern decor and good value for money. Can get a bit noisy in the main room, so maybe not the place for a romantic dinner.

Went there for lunch as we were surprised that this Chinese restaurant was clean and with friendly service. Food was fresh and tasty and both agreed it was one the best Chinese restaurant in Sydney.

Truly a disappointing experience for a restaurant which has proudly flaunt its awards and seemingly attracting a legion of loyal diners. After reading the positively glowing reviews posted by previous diners, my friends and I were eagerly expecting a fine dining experience that would echo the overwhelming praises. Sadly, it was not to be so.
Overpriced, one ordinarily bland and meager dish followed another. For a supposedly fine dining restaurant, not a glimpse of an attempt was made to garnish the lack-luster dishes,
Finally, any diners thinking of celebrating an occasion might want to reconsider cutting your cake elsewhere as they slyly charge $2.50pp "corkage".

I am a Pyrmont local and have been going to Blue Eye Dragon at least once a month for the last two years. The food here is fantastic and great value. The dishes I order all the time which I would thoroughly recommend are the steamed prawn dumplings (you can buy these frozen to make at home too!), the salt and pepper soft shell crab, Jade's Bloody Plum Prawns (house specialty), Beef with Taiwanese BBQ Sauce. As much as I'd like to keep this place a secret to myself, Muriel just does too good a job with this place to not share it around!

A terrific place. We had four starters and a couple of mains between four of us. Each and every dish was excellent which prompts me to slide previous Chinese favourites Golden Century and Peacock Gardens down the list. This joint just became my preferred number one. It's not a cheapie, even though BYO. But absolutely worth the dollars.

Went there today. Food is generally good with some exceptions. The tofu, calamari, and barramundi were very good, as well as the movenpick icecreams. Service was good and ambience was pretty good too with the typical chinese socialising scene.

I like this place but I won't be a regular since it is pricey than it should for the foodfare it served.
We tried the competition grade Oolong tea for starters as typical Chinese meal. The tea was honestly fantastic, light and fragrant but honestly too freaking expensive. We didn't have any alternatives apart from jasmine tea. That came as a surprise since Taiwanese are famed for their variety of tea and their love of tea.
Anycase, we ordered the prawn dumpling, stir fried vege, drunken chicken, san bei sizzling chicken, beef, slowcooked soy pork belly to share amongst the 4 of us.
While waiting, I ordered an extra bottle of coke. The waitress asked if I wanted diet or normal. I replied my wish for a normal coke and to my surprise, she brought me a bottle of diet coke anycase after 10mins of waiting. So I had to send it back and this time the right order came out in a jiffy.
We had a long table next to us completely filled. So it was a little noisy but it cannot be helped since the restaurant is not big by itself. Without the crowd, it would have been a nice quiet experience I reckon on usual days.
The starters for prawn dumpling was honestly good, crunchy, sweet, fresh and light without too much corn starch within. Honestly expensive for a single prawn dumpling but I suppose the quality warrants it. The drunken chicken however was a complete letdown. It was too salty, and the meat was tough. I didn't think it was well done at all and I reflected this to the serving staff when she came to take the plate away.
The pork belly was really nice and tender, with soft meat falling off. The pork fat bits can be easily torn away for those waiting to avoid eating lard, so it doesn't add on to the guilt level for those weight conscious. While the belly was cooked to perfection, again our table found the sauce too salty after a while despite eating it with rice. I personally would like the sauce to be a little thicker and sweeter but perhaps this is the Taiwanese variation compared to the Chinese version I am accustomed to.
The beef was good, really nice. No complaints there and the sizzling chicken was just ok by general votes. All in all an expensive meal for simple homecook food (which we call it in Taiwan) but a nice change from all the Cantonese and Shanghainese food.
The server while issuing the check conceded to me that she had checked with the chef and that the drunken chicken was indeed too salty. She mentioned it could be due to the new Chinese wine they used. When I mentioned that some of the dishes were also a little too salty, she immediately replied that Taiwanese food are like that. I was a little surprised by that remark since I have stayed in Taiwan a short while before and I have to say the remark wasn't true, but I let it pass. It wasn't a perfect meal but it had served its purpose.
