Taiwanese dining Sydney has loved for twenty years.

Traditional Taiwanese cuisine in Pyrmont, Sydney, cooked from family recipes.

Hi, we’re Muriel & Jade

Hi, we're Muriel and Jade.

Blue Eye Dragon is a mother-and-daughter kitchen. In 2001 I asked Mum to help me open a restaurant. She said yes on the spot, and her recipes have been on the menu ever since.

Twenty years on, Mum still makes the dumplings. Plenty of our regulars come in for them. Plenty come in to see her.

This is the food I grew up with: honest, home-style Taiwanese, cooked from scratch. Pyrmont has changed around us. The food hasn't.

Walk in on any night and you'll see families we've fed for two decades, and kids who had their first dumplings here now booking the table for their own birthdays.

Read our story.

Start with the dumplings. Stay for everything else.

Years ago, Muriel put her Taiwanese beef noodle soup on the cover of a local paper with nothing but the line "the best kept secret in Pyrmont": no name, no address.

People found it anyway.

That soup is still on the menu.

So are the handmade dumplings, the Sanbei three cup chicken, the slow-cooked pork belly.

Native Taiwanese traditions, provincial Chinese technique and Japanese clarity: flavour, balance and freshness, from three generations of Taiwanese cooks.

Heartwarming Asian cuisine in the centre of Sydney.

"Their dumplings are among the best I've had anywhere. I have introduced some of my best friends to Blue Eye Dragon over the years and they've become regulars, as we are. It's the restaurant we frequent more than any other."

Stefano Manfredi, chef and author

“I would give it 10 stars if I could. From the moment we walked in, we knew we had stumbled upon a little hidden treasure.

The food was nothing short of exceptional…”
