This is our go-to for a meal if we are attending any performances at QPAC. The food is always beautifully served and delicious . The space is quite quirky. Industrially large but decorated with umbrellas and Asian artefacts. Sometimes we don’t know what to choose and order a set menu where you get a choice of meat and vegetarian options. We enjoyed the cold broccoli and sesame, karaage, spring rolls, pumpkin curry and brown fried rice, among others. Service is efficient, yet allow yourself time to sit here and enjoy the ambience before that next show.

Chu the Phat went above and beyond our expectations and may be our new favourite restaurant. The service was great. Staff were attentive and helpful with explaining the menu to us (we ordered the regular banquet). We did not feel rushed, the order and timing in which our dishes came out was well organised and paced. Now the food… the food is incredible! The steamed duck buns were definitely a stand out for us, they were super soft and packed with flavour. We got so much food out of ordering the banquet between the two of us, and even got to take home the leftovers! Everything was super fresh which was also a plus.The cocktails were also yummy too, especially the violet spritz. The atmosphere is nice, a little dark and moody if you are sitting downstairs. Perfect for a date night. We will definitely be back for another visit, and would recommend this spot to all.
