MODERN ASIAN KITCHEN + BAR…
Located in Melbourne, Lucy Liu Kitchen & Bar is a premier destination for modern Asian cuisine. This vibrant eatery captures the essence of Asian street food while catering to the discerning foodie.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a captivating cobblestone lane entrance adorned with a dramatic, luminous, red neon-lit tunnel. Stepping inside reveals a space adorned with vertical wooden slats and polished concrete floors, reminiscent of the bamboo scaffolding seen in construction sites of Hong Kong and China.
Drawing inspiration from various Asian regions, the menu showcases a fusion of flavours with a strong emphasis on Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, complemented by hints of Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean influences. The food at Lucy Liu is bold and tantalising, featuring a delightful interplay of hot, sour, salty, and sweet flavours that leave a lasting impression.
Under the guidance of owner Michael Lambie, a veteran of Melbourne’s dining scene, and Executive Chef Zachary Cribbes, known for his expertise in Thai and Chinese flavours, the menu seamlessly blends culinary traditions from across Asia. Each dish is meticulously presented using high-quality Japanese Mino ware, accompanied by chopsticks and cutlery. The hologram menus add a touch of modernity, while the upbeat music sets the mood for a vibrant dining experience.
Lucy Liu’s menu is unafraid to transcend culinary boundaries, fusing different cuisines into single dishes. Among the favourites are the raw kingfish, marinated in lime juice with hints of green chili and delicate notes of coconut cream and toasted coconut. The freshly shucked Pacific oysters, dressed in a light ponzu sauce, offer a plump, smoky-sweet, and briny sensation.
With its fast-paced and flavoursome offerings, Lucy Liu celebrates the rich tapestry of Asian cultures embedded in Melbourne’s culinary landscape. The restaurant’s style effortlessly aligns with the current dining trends, captivating the hearts of Melburnians seeking an accessible and exciting experience. Owner Michael Lambie proudly declares that Lucy Liu Kitchen & Bar serves as a crowd-pleasing destination, where delicious flavour-driven food and expertly crafted cocktails create the recipe for an unforgettable night out.
