Why it's worth checking out
Pink Chopstix brings modern Chinese cooking and seafood to Shop 6001 at Darwin Waterfront. The restaurant’s approach combines traditional Chinese flavours with contemporary Asian fusion, with a menu built around high-quality ingredients and ongoing experimentation with new recipes. It is a useful choice for diners looking for more than a standard Chinese meal, while still offering familiar culinary traditions at its centre.
The menu includes Peking Duck, Asian fusion specialties and Darwin live mud crab served with Singapore chilli sauce. Seafood is a particular focus, with a platter featuring locally sourced Blue Crab, Barramundi, Squid, Mussels and half a Lobster. The whole fish option is Barramundi, available steamed or crispy with a choice of sauce and sides such as steamed jasmine rice, chef’s special fried rice or stir-fried vegetables. Other mud crab preparations can be paired with the chef’s special NT sauce, Szechuan chilli sauce or garlic butter.
There is plenty to accompany the food, including green, jasmine and oolong teas, wines, beers and signature cocktails inspired by Asian flavours. Fresh juices, mocktails and soft drinks are also available. The setting is described as contemporary, comfortable and elegant, with an open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs work, a bar area for drinks and an outdoor patio for alfresco dining in Darwin’s climate.
Pink Chopstix suits a range of occasions, from a meal with family or friends to dinner with colleagues. The restaurant says it can accommodate dietary restrictions, special occasions and individual preferences, while its private lounge is available for intimate gatherings, business meetings and celebrations such as birthdays, engagements and graduations. Walk-ins are welcome, although reservations are recommended. For a more private event, bookings can be discussed by phone or email with the Darwin Waterfront team.
