Bit of a wait for dinner service, but all staff were nice and worked efficiently. We ordered the seafood stir fry hand pulled noodles, jumbo xiao long bao, pan fried mushroom dumplings, and silky taro with creamy sesame soy. At first it didn’t seem like enough, but by the end two people were satisfied.<br/ <br/ The silky taro appetiser came with shredded cucumber and fungi, and for $6.80 I felt it was a nice accompaniment to the dumplings. It was quite light and refreshing.<br/ <br/ Part of the reason I wanted to dine here was for the jumbo XLB, because quite frankly I can’t pass on novelty food items (not sure how unusual it really is but for me it was a first). It actually wasn’t as jumbo...

Bistro Hulu is becoming one of my favorite casual Chinese restaurants in Sydney. On our latest visit, we ordered the fish maw and longan hotpot again (still as delicious), as well as the pan fried pork buns, steamed chicken with ginger and shallot sauce, vinegar pork ribs and cold sesame noodles. All were tasty and well cooked. The pan fried pork buns in particular, were more delicate and fluffier than the ones you get in Taste of Shanghai (but would prefer a bit more pork filling).<br/ Previous visit <br/ I was pleasantly surprised by Bistro Hulu. Though service was a bit distracted, the food was delicious. The menu seems to change regularly but I'd recommend the chicken, fish maw and longa...
Throughout my childhood, some of my most cherished memories revolve around gathering with my family at the dinner table, battling it out with chopsticks over a variety of delectable Chinese dishes. Food has always brought us closer together, creating a sense of unity and tradition. Our meals often consisted of an array of dumplings, steamed buns, and savory stir-fries, each dish bursting with vibrant colors and enticing aromas. As a child, there was nothing more thrilling than the prospect of a delicious meal. And as an adult, that same excitement continues to live on within me.
I visited this restaurant specifically for the large soup dumplings that I've been wanting to try for a while. They take a long time to steam because of their size. Unfortunately, they made a mistake with our order for some of the other dumplings, so I recommend double-checking with them before your meal arrives. Overall, the food was decent and I would like to return to try other menu items. The giant dumpling was tasty, but be warned, the soup inside is very hot and can be difficult to drink with a straw.

I came here for the giant soup dumplings! Been wanting to try for the longest time. They take forever to steam though, because they're so big. They actually got our order wrong for some of the other dumplings, so be sure to have them read your order back to you. So the food is alright and I'd like to come back to try different things. The giant dumpling was good, but damn the soup is hot and hard to drink out of a straw. rubyyee.com
We ventured to Bistro Hulu one Friday afternoon to check out their dumplings. We tried many dumplings and many more signature dishes including the silken taro with sesame (yum), the cold spicy chicken (spicy and numbing) and morning glory. The main waiter (possibly the owner) was helpful and responsive and eager to make us feel happy and welcome. It was surprisingly BYO (yay) and reasonably priced. Definitely heading back when we are hankering for more dumplings.
I absolutely adore this Chinese Bistro. The cuisine is exquisite and the service has consistently been excellent. It is definitely my top choice for Chinese food in Crows Nest. Having traveled to China and Hong Kong numerous times, as well as dining at all the top Chinese restaurants in Sydney, I can confidently say that this Bistro is truly outstanding.
Giving in to my craving for Chinese food. Having walked past this bistro on the way to kürtösh for cakes and seeing the staff pull noodles and wrap dumplings and XLB. Comfort food! We ordered the lotus leave wrapped rice, kung pow chicken, pulled noodles with pork, san choy pow ,xlb and dumplings! Fine dining it's not but it's plenty comfort. Book a table now
Been here a dozen times now. Edward and his wife are always happy to help and the food is the best. No need to head into Chinatown for dumplings now such delicious ones are available in Crows Nest! Amazing value too. I'll be back very soon and highly suggest you try them out.
Love the dumplings and fried noodles. Have not tried the giant xiao long bao. Good casual local Chinese that is great for a quick meal. Will have to return to try dinner dishes
