Angie BellJanuary 26, 2015Smoke beef from the raw bar ;) and their extensive wine list is amazing - you can get everything your heart desires from champagne to sake to spirits + lovely wines from the region ! Superb place!
Sarah AndersonJuly 3, 2017Simply Amazing! We had the Raw tuna entree which was a highlight. The whole cooked John Dory with a butter sauce and vinegar. The salted caramel peanut butter parfait was also heavenly. 5 ⭐️
- Kelvin WongFebruary 20, 2015Been here 4 times. Highlights: New England lobster rolls and the peanut butter parfait. Low: they're not open 24hours/day(for u know, that craving you have at 3.45am when ya dream about lobster roll)
- Shaun MullanJune 9, 2014Go for the banquet. It's $65pp and includes about 15 dishes (including the massive Pulled Korean BBQ Pork Shoulder which is usually $74 alone). The lobster rolls are amazing too!
Jj AcunaDecember 28, 2017Casual dining rising to great heights. Asian flavours marry with regional ingredients. Try the Duck Baos and Szechuan Chicken salad with Umeshu spritz and you are good to go.
Justyn KohAugust 9, 2014Lobster Rolls are a definite must. Pulled Pork Shoulder is delicious but is a bit much for two people. Do NOT leave without getting desserts, the peanut caramel parfait is legendary!
CelesteApril 6, 2017Lobster roll not fantastic for the price as you can't taste the sweetness of the lobster (2 slices) is more of the soft roll you enjoyed. Whitting macadamia is delicious and fresh especially sauce.
@JaumePrimeroJune 13, 2015Love the place settings at the bar. Everything is good but you must hook up the lobster rolls and an order of dumplings
- Sara TaylorFebruary 24, 2019Recommend doing the banquet menu - the table can all make individual choices if you’re with a group. Can also cater for dietary restrictions. Recommend the peanut butter parfait!
William HanlonJune 28, 2017Certainly well beyond "normal." Super crowded & mediocre service (at the bar) but tremendous eats! Gnocchi-like fried rice & sesame app is a must & truly incredible beef bun. Will be back for entrees.
MonikaNovember 29, 2018First restaurant I have been to that offers a banquet menu for solo/single diners. Great quality and combinations, attentive service.

Linda NguyenSeptember 23, 2016Supernormal smash cocktail was a treat! A little on the sweet side though. Everything was delicious. Get the apple miso soft serve if it's available!
TomfooleryJanuary 18, 2020They do a damn fine martini with their Supernormal Gin, the other highlights included the tofu crisp, the pickled veg, and the Korean rice cakes. Wagyu was good, but I’ve had better for the price
Jackie FeiSeptember 3, 2017Such a fan! Grab a seat at the bar. Great place to dine solo, as you can order half portions of many of the dishes
Ivy IpFebruary 20, 2017In general, food are of good quality, ingredients are fresh. Good atmosphere for friends catch up.- Tiki PFebruary 4, 2018My top picks at Supernormal are the lobster rolls and the peanut butter parfait with salted caramel sauce.
Eat MeDecember 5, 2014Little plates to share are divine lobster roll, prawn dumplings, duck bao but save space for mains -fresh and modern Asian fusion flavours
Yondering MonkeysJanuary 24, 2016Limited menu and everything on it is excellent so no need to be disappointed. I even loved the desert peanut butter parfait and I'm not a desert person.
Swemeatballs .October 31, 2015The cobia, pickled fennel or the smoked beef, mustard leaf and clam Mayo are delish
Kylie BurtonSeptember 9, 2015The peanut butter parfait. Also happens to be gluten free. You won't regret it!
- Michael WaltonJune 10, 2017Cobia starter, duck bao, and, of course, the lobster rolls are essential.
Jason GolanNovember 18, 2017Excellent food. We had to wait some time to get the table... but worth it! Highly recommend the lamb!
Mitchell SeatonAugust 5, 2017Every dish we chose we enjoyed, raw tuna, schezuan chicken salad and fried dumplings. An interesting menu.
Patricia BAugust 21, 2014Their cocktails are as excellent as their food. I especially liked the Umeshu Spritz (Choya classic umeshu, shiso, prosecco).
themanwiththeluggageOctober 20, 2016Love the place, the atmosphere and the food. Asian tapas-style in a super lively environment. Recommended!
AnthonyMay 30, 2015Bao buns and peanut butter dessert are world class . Loved sitting at the bar. Get there early for ramen
- Mike BroscheMarch 26Everything was good but lobster roll and wagyu beef bun were stand outs, great wine list and attentive service
Natalie BergmanMarch 14, 2019Food was fabulous here - every dish was excellent even the wok cooked Chinese greens were yum
James TFebruary 4, 2016Ordered 6 lovely dishes and a bowl of rice... The rice came last like a special dish all by itself , go figure ! #aussiesdoingasian
Brian RitchieDecember 3, 2015It's not a massive food place but the whisky and liquor selection is fairly impressive. Good for a drink and business catchup
Jenkin A.March 12, 2016Amazing food. Skip on the cooked foods,stick to the raw. Good whiskey selection
Lars GinnerupMay 8, 2018Asian fusion in a modern atmosphere. Everything is good, but the food is not as elevated as they are trying to make it. A bit expensive for what you’re actually getting.

Ting TingSeptember 15, 2015Set menu is a good choice if this is the first time you check in this place
Jeanette AndersonOctober 8, 2016Food was good, but each dish comes out separately, so it makes for a long meal.
Yoram CisinskiDecember 2, 2017The food was original and came quickly. Portions are a bit small though and the place is quite noisy.
