About Tai Tai

Just steps from QPAC on Grey Street, Tai Tai delivers high-heat wok classics and pre-theatre timing without missing a beat. The wooden slatted veranda hums with South Bank foot traffic, where diners settle in for drinks poured straight from ceramic teapots. Plates arrive fast—often in mere minutes—letting show-goers feast on char kway teow rich with wok hei alongside tender Hakka crispy pork belly. Groups gather around private lazy susan tables for generous banquets of claypot eggplant and steamed dumplings, with a dedicated gluten-free feast ready for coeliac diners.

  • Pre-Theatre Timing: Kitchen crews routinely turn tables around in under ten minutes for worry-free arrivals at QPAC across the road.
  • Gluten-Free & Group Banquets: Multi-course banquet menus, lazy susans for groups, and a dedicated gluten-free feast designed for coeliac dining.
  • Veranda & Dog-Friendly Dining: Open veranda seating along Grey Street welcoming foot-traffic views and dining with pet dogs.

  • Dog-Friendly Veranda Dining

    An open-air veranda setting welcomes diners to enjoy dinner alongside their pet dogs on bustling Grey Street.

    This dog friendly restaurant is the hype! It’s not often I can bring a Coco(dog) with me to nice establishments for dinner.

  • Fried ice cream

    we settled for the fried ice cream and mocchi balls.

  • Mocchi balls

    The three flavours of mocchi we had were tiramisu (bloody brilliant!), vanilla (the filling was so delectable and unlike any mocchi I've ever had) and the red bean/green tea (just delightful!).

  • Lemon iced tea

    They have EXCELLENT lemon iced tea. It is brewed fresh - not the nasty stuff in a bottle.
