Delicious Asian fusion dishes! My partner and I enjoyed every single dish we ordered, including the cocktail and the umeshu. Very interesting interior and nice ambience. The ladies that served us were very nice as well. They’ve also got alfresco dining so it’d be a good spot to enjoy these beautiful creations on a sunny day!

This was one of my best dining experiences. We had a cute little private room to dine in. The lady who took care of us went far & beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was incredible and the cocktails were amazing. Can’t wait to come back.

We had a wonderful evening, overseen by Eddie and the wait staff at Sergeant Lok. I selected the venue for a team dinner, commencing with happy hour cocktails and alfresco drinks on the balcony. We were later escorted into our private dining area where we had a spectacular meal accompanied by some quality wines. The food was amazing, and I am still telling people about the steamed Murray Cod which was pure perfection!

Modern Chinese cuisine in the heart of the Rocks. Idyllic seating in the old police station where the east met the west long ago. This place, continues the mystic by producing wonderful and modern Asian inspired dishes. We were seated in the front high bar, where the atmosphere was contemporary and with the slight breeze through the open window and doors, I felt the history and vibe of the past and excited about what is ahead; delightful evening of feasting senses. Our party was amazingly attended to by the sweet and helpful waitress. She carefully explained to us, house favourites (which one was sold out - aged dry duck), and what dishes were popular. She was also helpful with dietary requirements ensuring that everyone is catered. How refreshing to have that asked and not assumed!!! I felt like that we (almost) ordered the whole menu feeling that our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. But it was just enough for a party of six. The seafood dumplings were well made, delicate pastry skin, soft and translucent, letting the seafood shine though. A mouthful bite and generous portion to make you feel satisfied. Love the freshness and compliments the dipping sauce. Moving on to the chive and pork dumplings in chilli oil. Surprised that it was light and delicious tasting the pork and not over powered by the chives. The hint of chilli rounds out the mouth making it satisfying. The beef tartare was delicate, generous with the bite and well portioned. The Asian inspired dressing felt satisfied in spice and the crunch of the sesame crisp proved a wonderful balance. It doesn’t taste like a retired dairy cow - the image of a tired one thing is replaced with a young and soft to the palette. Seared scallops were cooked transparently, soft to the bite. The mushroom dasi provides the umami to the soft delicate dish and rounded with generous portion of mushrooms. The vegan San cho Bao was tasty, with a hint of black vinegar in the background. Loved the firm tofu and black bean sauce to provide richness to a potentially bland dish. The angus sirloin was cooked to medium raw as ordered and paired well with the pickled papaya. Love the inspired crying tiger sauce to provide umami and little heat. The kung pao cauliflower was crunchy on the outside and soft in the center. The black vinegar in the background unfortunately left a slight bitter taste. I do like the peanut crunch added to the dish. It paired well with the Gai Lan as it was mild and softly cooked to perfection. I didn’t get to eat the miso rice cake because my daughter pretty much claimed as her own. But I have been told it was the best dish she has tasted. Never easy to please a teenager, so well done!!! We loved our time, the food and the service. I do hope you will to when you visit as well and experience the great service food and atmosphere.

Superb modern Chinese food in an elegant heritage building. With Great service. I highly recommend. The wine list is quite extensive and stretches to any budget but has been thought out and has quality producers. And the food is a modern and interesting take on some traditional favorites. The prawn toast is a lovely throwback dish but is also really interesting and Tasty

Very nice atmosphere, Food ok, service a little slow. We ordered the octopus, the dumplings, prawn toast, and the John Dory. Food was ok and flavours were nice but overpriced for the quality and the portion size. Dumpling were probably the pick of the dishes, prawn toast was nice, octopus not so tender but packed with flavour. The Dory ($42 share plate) was a very small fillet, maybe 150g (see photo) with a bed of veg and did not taste/smell as fresh as others I’ve had. The restaurant is located in a refurbished heritage building and has a really nice vibe. The service was polite and professional but not so attentive. The kitchen was a little slow to get our meals out. They were not that busy. There are better Asian food options at this price point in and around the area.

Great for an intimate meal with your friends or significant other. Entree We got the pork and chive dumplings and prawn toast for entree- the pork and chive dumplings were definitely the winner for this meal, absolutely delicious, highly recommend Main Scotch fillet steak with the side of cauliflower, Brussel sprout and chips. The steak was cooked to perfection and the cauliflower was life changing- definitely get it if you go for dinner. The chips was a bit ordinary (just fries) but they did come with aioli which tasted house made and really good. Service The servers were lovely, very friendly and attentive. They came through and cleaned our table between courses which was a nice touch. Thanks to the staff at Sergeant Lok, this is the third time I’ve dined with you and each time has been consistently good. I will continue to recommend you to friends and family 😊

Delicious food especially the kung pao cauliflower, scotch fillet and dumplings. Excellent and attentive service. The atmosphere was serene. Highly recommend for a nice dinner out!

This was my third time dining at Sergeant Lok.the food is absolutely delicious. I organised a lunch gathering for over 15 people and everyone enjoyed the presentation and flavours of all the dishes. The staff are lovely and very accomodating too.

This was such a memorable anniversary dinner for my husband and I. We were seated in a private room, an original holding cell circa 1890. The 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing was a delight. Dishes were personalised to cater for my crustacean allergy but the flow of flavours weren't compromised. The Manager and staff were excellent! I highly recommend stopping by to appreciate the history and incredible food.

What fantastic food! Beautifully presented, good portions & oh so tasty. We booked for a Thursday lunch but there weren’t many people dining, so the ambience was a little flat - perhaps it’s different in the evenings. A lovely old building with very pleasant & attentive staff. Would definitely recommend Sergeant Lok.

I've been waiting to try out this restaurant and I've got to admit, it was worth the wait. All the dishes were really tasty and the serving size was just right. We picked the banquet 5 course menu which was $98 per person. It was definitely worth the price. Kudos to Darren Templeman as headchef

I love a good repurposing of an historic building, like Sergeant Lok in The Rocks’ 140-year-old sandstone police station. I especially love the private dining rooms in the old holding cells with their original heavy metal doors. Darren Templeman’s menu showcases excellent produce with Asian flavours and a spin, including kung pao cauliflower with labneh; prawn & pork wontons in ham bone consommé; and deliciously tender rock lobster with shellfish butter sauce, tomato and charred lime. Great short wine list by the glass too!

I had my surprise 50th birthday dinner there on Saturday night. The food was exquisite. With every bite - all you could hear from my family was YUM! or WOW! I loved every single dish and it was very hard to pick a favourite. The Service was at the same high standard of quality as the food was. The owner came over personally to constantly check in on our party and paid special attention to the needs of our Mother who was a little under the weather that night. Thank you to the Team at Seargeant Lok for an amazing night of great food and a fun experience. Keep up the great work! 😊

It was a great experience thanks to the staff and the owner that were very welcoming ! The best restaurant we have done Sydney and funny fact : just before leaving. The food was fantastic : congrats to the chef.

Excellent banquet, very flavoursome Asian fusion. Interesting combinations of ingredients, from the delicate to the robust. Very attentive and professional staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return.

Totally hidden gem! You got to look carefully to find it! Great spot, food is delightfully presented and service exceptional! It’s super hidden, you won’t event notice it passing by. It took me 5min looking around to find it! Love the interior of the old prison, it’s definitely got a nice vibe and some hosting going through it. Layout can be quite weird and confusing due to that though it’s beautiful venue!

Was really impressed with the high quality service. Edward - well done. The menu was inclusive and catered for gluten free. We went 3 courses with each better than the last - whipped cheesecake was a real winner to finish off a delightful evening. Loved the cocktails and notes/history info. Thank you for wiping down the table between each course and keeping our water glasses topped up. Let me know when the whipped cheesecake is available for take-home!

We loved everything. Each dish was yummy and especially the presentation of cheesecake was very impressive. Highly recommend!

My friend and I had a lunch there and we really enjoyed it! The venue is very unique and the food is fantastic! Highly recommended!

attracted by the beautiful building and I had a simple yet fascinating dinner here. Oysters are very fresh and the steamed seafood dumplings taste nice! Will definitely come back for dinner again when I am in Sydney next time.

Sergeant Lok is located in the heritage-listed Old Police Station building at The Rocks, the building is beautiful with sectioned rooms keeping the integrity of the building interior. Outdoor seating is also available with views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a bustling George Street. The menu is a re-invention of classic Asian dishes. The prawn toast and the kung pao cauliflower are standout. Packed with flavour and spices. The prawn dumplings were also great, silky and lots of flavour. Solid offering of non-alcoholic cocktails, the Undercover and 12 Watchmen were refreshing and tasty. The cute names play ode to the building’s past. Service efficient and friendly and meal was served quick. Really pleasant experience overall, it was on my places to visit list and totally worth it.
