Laowai

Laowai is a 1930s Shanghai-inspired speakeasy hidden behind the unassuming BLND TGER dumpling shop in Chinatown, where the secret code "7" unlocks a world of theatrical cocktails and share plates.

Very popular restaurant tucked away on a side street in Chinatown that has been winning local readers choice awards for 20 years. The menu is Vietnamese and Cambodian with a large number of dishes. The deep-fried chicken wings and butter beef (similar to beef carpaccio but slightly more cooked, with soy sauce and cilantro) are both very tasty and amongst the most popular dishes. Portions are a good size and in line with the price. It gets crowded quickly, so expect to wait if arriving after 5PM most nights.
