Bar at Lazy Su, 1/9 Lonsdale St, Braddon

©George Francis Dunford/Lonely Planet


Lazy Su’s playful Asian vibe is obvious as you enter past the wall of lucky cats. You can't go far wrong with the menu, but if you can't decide between Grandma's Tofu and the fried-chicken ramen, opt for the seven-dish 'Mi-So Hungry' ($49 per person).

If you’re not hungry, prop up the bar and swig on a classic Japanese whisky or Korean makgeolli. Once a month they run hip-hop and ramen nights, spinning old-school beats and serving ample bowls.
