China Diner in Bondi has a new home and it is a vibrant restaurant. It was packed with not an empty seat in the house on New Years evening. Through the huge rush, every single staff member was attentive, extremely polite, very friendly and professional. Big tick for customer service. The drinks menu was extensive and had interesting cocktails. I would recommend the spicy cocktails. The food was of high quality and flavoursome. Our party of 8 chose the banquet both normal and veggie. Delicious food and drink only topped by the terrific level of service. All in all a very pleasant evening. The price was great as well. Good food at a great price. All round excellent value. Well done to the team. Thank you and a Happy New Year!
