Waterfront dining meets vibrant pan-Asian plates right on the Runaway Bay canal. Locals skip the trek south to Broadbeach, instead gathering here for tempura Moreton Bay bug bao and slow-cooked beef over coconut rice. Open kitchen views let you watch the chefs fire up wok-tossed noodles and glazed pork belly skewers, while the outdoor deck looks straight onto the marina. The move for groups is the multi-course banquet, leaving just enough room for raspberry sorbet cheesecake.
- Waterfront Canal Setting: Outdoor canal and marina seating pairing coastal breezes with cocktails and shared seafood plates.
- Moreton Bay Bug Bao: Crisp tempura bug layered in steamed bao buns, alongside tuna ceviche and glazed pork belly.
- Sharing Banquets: Multi-course sharing menus designed for parties, backed by an open kitchen preparing communal plates.

Shared dining brings tables together around communal dishes, letting entire groups sample and explore a diverse range of fresh Asian flavors.
