Incredible food and fantastic service!!! A great go-to restaurant in the city! I’ve been back a few times bringing back different groups of friends every time!
Very nice restaurant but lacks atmosphere - not a lot of space between tables and for walking. The service was fast and the food was very nice. I ordered the pineapple fried shrimp - I wasn't sure what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised flavour-wise, not so much serving size-wise. My friend was very happy with his squid legs and we both loved our cocktails
The Lucha is the excellent place to go with friends and kungbo prawns with lychee and sweet sour pork was amazing！！ And the waitress was so nice in service, will come backkkk
Located at the front of the new FudoDori lane, Lu Cha can be easily spotted along with Koto Sanpo. Came here on weekdays evening, the place was packed, yet the service was quite quick.
Ordered the Fruity Cream Strawberry Tea, the taste was okay; not overwhelmingly sweet, packed with a balanced amount of strawberry and cream. However, it is not greatly different from other teas.
Would be coming back in the future to try out the food.
Nice, very flavourful food. Service was efficient and friendly. Can get crowded pretty easily during the usual peak hours. Fried rice and beans were delicious.
Great selection of Chinese food, creative restaurant with Chinese tea leaf. If you haven't been there, must have a go!
The cold chicken noodle is very delicious, and the boiled beef is my favorite one ！
I love the consistency in decor between this restaurant and the adjacent Koto Sanpo. Overall a nice, upscale (for a broke student) place to have a meal.
~The braised pork belly with buns~ ($24.95)
Basically a decomposed guabao. The buns were lovely and soft. I couldn’t really taste the tea but I liked the sweet soy sauce marinade. The skin was crispy and the inside was soft - hallmark of a perfectly cooked pork belly. Overall it was a delicious dish but I would’ve liked for there to be some vegetables instead of just bread and meat to make it a bit more balanced. Some pickled cabbage maybe.
~Stone bowl wok fried sliced pork potato with spicy sauce~ ($20.95)
Not really spicy, more of a classic soy sauce flavour. The pork was sliced so thinly I kept mistaking it for onion! It did have other vegetables aside from potato, which I appreciated. If you ordered two bowls of rice I reckon it would’ve been enough for two people - we were stuffed.
Came here for dinner and it was really busy! We ordered the roast chicken, pork and Chinese cabbage dumplings, as well as steamed rice. The chicken was really tender and moist, the skin was slightly chewy but could definitely be more crispy. The sweet sauce that accompanied the chicken had a wonderful jasmine green tea aroma to it, it was just divine. The dumplings were really delicious and flavourful too. I'll definitely come back to try out their other dishes!
Finally a spot that does great Chinese food at a fair price. This is the sort of place that Brisbane has been lacking. Warm atmosphere and good service even during peak lunch time rushes.
The egg noodles and roast pork pictured were terrific, will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
This is a really nice restaurant with a fantastic range of bubble tea. The staff members were very friendly and polite. The food was delicious and came in large portions. Allow a bit more time if you come here for lunch as they get very busy but the food is totally worth waiting for.
We are craving dessert after our dinner. We found Lucha Kitchen, and one of our kids recommended having the Dessert Hot Pot. It is just a range of bubble teas with dry ice, but kids enjoy it.
Next time we will be back here for their dinner.
A decent feed on a Friday night, not the cheapest though for the quantity. The pork belly baos were pretty tasty. Peking duck was not that authentic (Sliced up duck meat rather than a nice crispy skin pancake) but still tasty. Loved the second course duck noodles. The pan fried dumpling were nice but at $10 for 4 pcs, bit steep. The Lucha special fried rice was excellent with lovely tea flavours. Stonepot cauliflower can be given a miss.
I’ve been to this restaurant many times since its opening. My fav dishes: chilli fish broth, green tea chicken
Lu Cha is a perfect restaurant to come to for a date night or to hang with the girls. The food is amazing and tastes great. I recommend trying what I tried, including their dessert hot pot. That was to die for (make sure to leave extra room in your tummy to enjoy it). They are currently offering a vday special dessert hotpot on 14/02! The staff were very knowledgeable and they also serve bubble tea for dine-in or take-away. Definitely book if you’re planning to visit for dinner.
