Lazy Su

Welcome to Lazy Su, Braddon’s buzzing Asian eating house where retro pop culture meets bold, modern Asian flavours. Located at 1/9 Lonsdale Street in the heart of the Australian Capital Territory, Lazy Su is not your typical restaurant—it’s an experience. Inspired by the neon-lit streets, little laneways and city arcades of 60s, 70s and 80s Japan, Korea and China, our venue serves up a creative mashup of dishes alongside a vibrant atmosphere built for good times and late nights. Whether you’re planning a long dinner with friends, a boozy weekend lunch, or a quick takeaway feast, Lazy Su delivers standout food with personality and punch.

The team at Lazy Su takes classic Asian comfort food and gives it a fresh, playful twist. From steaming bowls of ramen to crispy bao buns and wok-fried classics, every plate is crafted with high-quality ingredients and an unapologetic love for big, bold flavours. Our menu is designed to be shared, so gather your crew, order a round of cocktails, and dive into a dining experience that’s as colourful as the retro posters on our walls. With a reputation for excellent service and a lively, inclusive environment—proudly LGBTQ+ friendly—Lazy Su has become a must-visit destination on the Braddon dining scene.

What We Offer

Our menu is a curated trip through the best of Asian street food and eating-house culture, filtered through a distinctly modern Australian lens. Every dish on the menu is a conversation starter, designed to be mixed, matched and shared around the table. Signature items our guests rave about include the Pork Belly Bao and Fried Chicken Bao—soft, pillowy steamed buns packed with rich, savoury fillings. For something heartier, the ramen bowls deliver deep, soul-warming broth with perfectly chewy noodles, while the wok-fried noodles and rice dishes like Kimchi Bokkeumbap bring the heat and the comfort you crave.

Our larger plates and share-style dishes are where the kitchen really shines. Regulars love the crispy fried chicken, the glazed wagyu beef, and the ever-popular Mapo Tofu—silky, spicy and packed with umami. Vegan and vegetarian guests are well looked-after too, with dedicated plant-based creations like the sensational vegan duck that even meat-eaters can’t stop talking about. Round out your meal with sides like edamame, spring rolls and seasonal greens, and don’t skip the cocktail list—our bartenders mix up fun, fruity and spirit-forward drinks that pair perfectly with the food.
