Mamasan

3 Oracle Blvd, Broadbeach

Let’s take a luxurious tour of South East Asia at Mamasan, the epitome of Asian delicacy goodness in Broadbeach’s prestigious Oracle Boulevard.

This exquisite restaurant drips with deliciousness and quality at every single turn. The open kitchen adds a dynamic touch to a beautiful interior, where you can enjoy mouthwatering dishes paired with expertly crafted cocktails.

Surrounded by Southeast Asian-inspired decor, soft lighting, and a cherry blossom-adorned entrance, you'll be captivated by the aromas and ambience as you dine and drink.

Take your pick from four bespoke menus, including the standard dining menu, the banquet menu, small bites, drinks, and even a specialised allergy-friendly menu (which includes vegan dishes).

Yellowfin tuna tartare with ginger ponzu, lemongrass cream, wasabi oil and squid ink cracker.
Spanner crab ravioli dumplings with scallops, prawns, water chestnut and coconut sambal bisque.

This self-proclaimed ‘kick-ass Asian fusion’ restaurant exudes coolness without compromising on quality. Maggie Choo is one of Broadbeach's most popular Asian fusion restaurants, and it's safe to say we're head over heels, too.

The menu is a tantalising mix of share plates, perfect for anything from quick bites to epic nights out. The drinks are equally impressive. Think a spicy twist on the classic Bloody Mary, a lychee cocktail served with a cheeky fortune cookie, and an espresso martini that'll leave you buzzing.

Maggie Choo is the place for city vibes, casual yet killer eats, and a backdrop that’s selfie-ready.

Nothing’s off-limits at Maggie Choo. Drop by for lunch, dinner, longer banquet meals, drinks and snacks, or with the kids—there’s a yummy kids menu they’ll just gobble up. Maggie Choo also provides a tailored vegan menu to make your choices easier.

Some of our favourite dinner dishes include:

Vietnamese tiger prawn tacos made with Queensland trawler cooked prawns and lime-chilli dressing.
Charred roti and peanut curry.
Sesame honey chicken karaage with electric yuzu honey and sesame.
Korean slow-cooked wagyu bolognese with udon noodles, Byron Bay stracciatella, and crispy Thai basil.

Uncle Su

Ground level, The Star, 1 Casino Dr, Broadbeach

Stroll across to The Star Gold Coast (a breeze via direct internal access from Dorsett Gold Coast) and you’ll come across Uncle Su. Serving up some of the best Asian food Broadbeach has to offer, Uncle Su is a delightful blend of hand-made Yum Cha, fresh seafood, and Cantonese style cuisine.

Dine on a delectable selection of classic Beijing and Sichuan dishes in the dining area, or relax with a handcrafted cocktail at the lounge bar.

Uncle Su beautifully blends The Star’s trademark dazzle with an intimate, slightly more casual vibe. We recommend visiting for a relaxed lunch or pre-show dinner and drinks.

Again, there are plenty of menus available depending on your time of visit or dietary requirements. Choose from the sumptuous Yum Cha lunch menu, the a la carte menu (lunch and dinner), the banquet menu, or the gluten free menu.

Be sure to try these scrumptious menu highlights:

Fried duck breast wrapped in pancakes.
Snow crab and mud crab cooked Kowloon style, served with black pepper butter sauce and salted egg yolk.
Australian lobster baked with either butter or XO sauce and served with sashimi.
Parrot fish, either steamed, braised with chilli bean sauce, or deep fried with sweet and sour sauce.

Kiyomi at The Star is redefining Japanese dining with a sleek, elevated experience. Located on the mezzanine level, Kiyomi is a sensory delight, featuring moody lighting, rich dark wood, natural stone, and traditional Japanese calligraphy adorned on the walls.

The adventurous menu at Kiyomi is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. From aged pork tomahawk with apple wasabi to Mooloolaba prawn toast with spanner crab, each dish is an artful creation. The tuna crispy rice, a fan favourite, is a must-try.

While there are other menu options exclusive to the private dining rooms, Kiyomi’s dinner menu features some of the tastiest Asian food in Broadbeach, including:

Tuna crispy rice with spicy mayo and crispy hokkaido yumepirica rice.
Mooloolaba prawn toast with karashimoiso, spanner crab, cabbage, and tobiko.
Hiramasa kingfish miso ceviche with crispy potato, green chilli, and miso ceviche.
Dry aged Berkshire pork tomahawk with apple wasabi, okinawa sugar, and pork jus.
