Lucy Liu Kitchen and Bar

Lucy Liu Kitchen & Bar, nestled in Melbourne's vibrant laneways, offers a dynamic dining experience that fuses the rich flavors of Bangkok, Taipei, and Shanghai. The menu features Asian favorites like Peking duck dumplings, Korean fried ribs, and BBQ lap cheong hot dogs. Signature dishes include yellowfin tuna tataki with wasabi ginger dressing, steamed sticky beef buns, and wagyu beef with horseradish cream and yakiniku dipping sauce. The interior boasts communal and booth seating, a private dining room, and larger tables with lazy Susans for group dining. The design by March Studio incorporates Tasmanian oak battens, terrazzo brick, polished-concrete floors, and Laminex-topped tables, creating a warm and informal atmosphere. Entry is via cobbled Oliver Lane, and while walk-ins are welcome, reservations are recommended.
