About Blue Whale Restaurant & Lounge

Blue Whale Restaurant & Lounge offers a memorable dining experience with a variety of tasty dishes such as dumplings, shrimp toast, XO Duck noodles, fried chicken with papaya salad, and "just a bite" dessert. The food is generally praised, and the service team is friendly, helpful, and professional, offering great recommendations. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with vibey music that creates a vibrant vibe, although it can be loud enough that some tables may require shouting to communicate. The decor is modern and impressive, enhancing the overall setting. The heated patio provides a cozy outdoor space, but since it’s not covered, it may not be suitable if rain is expected. Parking is convenient with plenty of spaces available next door on Union Street. The restaurant is a fantastic choice for a special night out or family gathering. Recent visitors highlighted the superb food, including dishes like Chilean sea bass, chopped cabbage salad, mushroom spring rolls, and stir-fried beef. The space offers comfortable booths and a pretty back patio, making it a nice neighborhood place worth a trip even for those not nearby. While the food remains excellent, some reviews noted that service can sometimes be inconsistent, with moments of feeling rushed or ignored. Overall, Blue Whale Restaurant & Lounge is a vibrant spot known for its delicious food, inviting decor, and lively atmosphere.

Craft Cocktails are creative, balanced, and leaving you wanting more.

The food: Duck Salad, Buns, Veg Fried Rice, Sea Bass were all fresh, flavorful, and amazing. This restaurant takes Asian Pacific Cuisine and elevates it to the heavens…

The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, accommodating, and very friendly.
