We were on a mission for the best salt & pepper squid. Saw some reviews showing people enjoyed the squid here so gave it a try ...omg its the best food ever! Not only was the squid delicious but the pork & prawn stuffed eggplant was freaking amazing, I don't normally choose eggplant but seriously this dish trumped the squid... More

I have been to this restaurant many times and it is consistently excellent. The food is beautiful and flavoursome and the staff are always friendly and helpful. My favourites are the Fried Eggplant for an entree and you can't go past the Salt and Pepper Squid. More

The food is always fresh and delightful - anything of the menu is of good quality, tasty and not too overpriced for Balmain. More

We had dinner at the Blue Ginger restaurant and we enjoyed that very much. Food is very good and the service is friendly and made with extra care. For instance, they bring you a glass of water as soon as you sit down. It is not far from the bay were you can have a great look to Sydney harbour... More

A little pricier than your average Asian restuarnt in the area, but the food is also a cut above in my opinion. I have dined here several times and always enjoy it immensely (the duck with Tamarind sauce is delicious!). It can be a little noisy on busy Friday and Saturday nights so may not be perfect for a romantic... More

JasonandSally, what are you smoking, Blue Ginger is not a Thai Restaurant! Notwithstanding, it is an excellent restaurant serving a wide variety of Chinese style dishes, maybe with a hint of Malaysin in it, with it's own unique style and flavor. Quite upmarket and very sophisticated, but has a great cool feel to it. Has a great buzz to it.... More

Definitely worth the short trip out of Sydney city area; less than 10mins in a taxi. The food is South East Asian offering a variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes - we ordered a total of 5 dishes and all were suberb - quality ingredients, excellently prepared and presented. The dishes were a little small though for the price... More

We initially went to this restaurant in 2004. It was excellent then and we returned this month. Again we were not disappointed and the salt and pepper squid is the best I have ever had. The atmosphere and service compliment the excellent food. We shared a large squid, had two main and rice and it came to just over $90... More
