Chu the Phat

In South Brisbane’s lively dining quarter, Chu the Phat distils the vibrant rhythms of East Asia into a contemporary dining experience.

Guided by Executive Head Chef Brendon Barker, the kitchen draws on culinary journeys through Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea to deliver punchy aromatics, layered spice, and deep umami. It’s an adventurous, fast-paced menu executed with sharp technique and plenty of personality.

Starters set an energetic tone: think edamame slicked with soy garlic butter and dusted with togarashi, or tender wagyu dumplings glossed in XO sauce and brightened with lime.

The main courses widen the spectrum with bold heat and fresh seafood. Sir Harry 6-7+ wagyu beef rump arrives wok-hot with crisp garlic chives, while Coral Coast barramundi swims in a silky coconut turmeric sauce that balances lightness with rich depth. For a sweet finish, the dessert list offers a elevated take on the mango and coconut Weis Bar, alongside a playful condensed milk spring roll paired with banana mousse.

Whether gathering a group or chasing bold street-food flavours, Chu the Phat strikes the right balance between polished and high-energy. Book a table, grab your chopsticks and let the menu take over.
