Did you know pancakes aren't just for dessert?

Across Asia you'll find savoury pancakes in many forms, from Korean kimchi pancakes to Vietnamese bánh xèo and Chinese Peking pancakes.

This version takes inspiration from China, pairing crispy pork belly with soft Peking pancakes, spring onion, local herbs, hoisin and peanut sauce.

The perfect balance of sweet, salty and fresh, all wrapped up in one bite.

Coming in a close second to Darwin's beloved laksa is a steaming bowl of pho.

Pho, fur, fo... however you say it, we'll serve it.

Slow-cooked broth, tender slices of beef, fresh herbs, bean sprouts and all the extras so you can finish it exactly the way you like it. Hot, fragrant and packed with flavour, it's comfort in a bowl.

The secret's out 👀

Chow has been filling up fast lately, so if you've been thinking about stopping by for laksa, crispy pork, fresh rice paper rolls or dinner with friends, now's a good time to lock in a table.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but bookings are recommended, especially on weekends.

Not all bánh mì’s are created equal 🥖

At Chow, you can order our bánh mì on its own or go all in with the full plate… served with crispy salty fries and a side of laksa broth made for dunking. If you’re hungry, this one really hits the spot.

Best paired with an iced Vietnamese coffee.
