Shu - Reserva de mesa

Modern, hip and funky on a pretty ordinary part of Johnston St in Collingwood, this semi industrial joint has surpassed expectations and survived for several years now. It 's also something unexpected in that (I believe a mistake) the kitchen is at the front this hiding a large part of the dining area. I 've walked past many times and thought the place to be empty and therefore struggling only to find on our first experience there 's quite a large dining room 'round the corner ' so to speak and hidden from view.<br/ <br/ There were 4 of us and went for the 10 course degustation meal. Welcomed by Shu himself and introduced to the staff, it was a tremendous start and even before we sat, the me...

I was so lucky to have the opportunity to experience Shu’s famous 10 course degustation the other night, and it left me so impressed!<br/ <br/ Upon arrival, Shu himself came to greet us and led us to our table. The venue was incredible it’s modern, hip and funky, with an industrial vibe.<br/ <br/ We started off with 3 bite sized courses scallops, silken tofu, and an Asian herb roll. The scallop sashimi was sweet and refreshing. The tofu, coloured pink by beetroot, was so unique! I’ve never seen tofu dyed a different colour before, and the texture was so silky and smooth. The herb roll reminded me almost of a sushi again very fresh and flavourful. <br/ <br/ We then had the sticky rice bun and...

Cannot rave about this place enough. Not only is the space incredible (such a great vibe) but the staff are amazing and the food is next level ! It’s honestly like nothing you will have experienced. All the food is amazingly thought out, presented and compliment the work of the chef Shu. We visited a few weeks back to try the Vegan Degustation which was truly incredible. Each course was something absolutely breathtaking truly inspiring! The combinations were ones I wouldn’t see myself pairing but after trying the dishes work so well together. My absolute favourites were the spicy dumplings, the turmeric sticky rice buns, and the passionfruit “cheese”cakes. I highly recommend if you want to t...

Highly recommend their Vegan Experimental Tuesdays! You get 5 courses for $25 what a steal to have a party in your mouth! <br/ <br/ My friends and I came here for my birthday and all of us raved about the food and none of us were vegan, except for 1. Definitely a great spot to bring a date to.<br/ <br/ Service was very fast, prompt, and friendly. Had no problem splitting our bill (thank you! .<br/ <br/ Atmosphere was fun with all the funky bdsm disco decorations ha!<br/ <br/ Would definitely come around again for this and also to try their regular menu <br/ <br/ Also to note: Originally I thought their Tuesday was booked out for this day when I tried reserving online but it seems like they h...

Visited Shu for the first time on the weekend with my partner and we both loved it!! We decided to go with the two different degustation menus, vegan option for my partner and meat option myself and they were both delicious. Staff were also super friendly and love the was the drinks were served in science beakers. Only slight drawback I found was the last few course took quite some time to come out, we were waiting 15-20 minutes for each of the last 3-4 courses. Not sure if that’s just how it usually is or as a result of them being very busy at that time. Overall loved the experience would recommend.

I enjoyed an amazing dinner at Shu over the weekend.<br/ <br/ The atmosphere was very retro/funky and different in a great way. It was a massive colour explosion all over the restaurant.<br/ <br/ The food was amazing. I really enjoyed the Sichuan fusion, especially the spice that came through in a lot of the dishes. My favourite dish was the dumplings, as well as the passionfruit dessert.<br/ <br/ The staff were really friendly. The food came out slowly but it gave the opportunity to really enjoy each course not feel rushed.

It was overall a rather interesting take on Modern Asian Fusion. Within our 10-course degustation, the quality of produce was clearly of utmost importance, all creatively executed to creative unconventional combinations and memorable flavours.Our only gripes? The small serving sizes, which was to be expected, and the rather tardy service.

I'm not sure if I'm in a restaurant or a weird art gallery / furniture store but it hardly matters because the food is AMAZING. Reserva una mesa ahora
