Supernormal has good times in spades. Under the same Flinders Lane roof you can punch out a Street Fighter II arcade game, sing karaoke and score Pocky (Japanese biscuit sticks) from vending machines. 

Then it’s onto the Chinese/Japanese/Korean cuisine by chef Andrew McConnell, who’s created an expansive menu, home to new favourites and old hits. The buttery, bite-sized New England Lobster roll and shatter-crisp fried duck leg bao still fly out of the hardworking kitchen, but so, too, does soy-braised spatchcock. A lighter, berry-hued beetroot and horseradish salad packs a textural, peppery punch. Finish with an on-theme cocktail, Japanese whisky, or a refreshing gin and tonic made with a specially distilled Supernormal x Applewood gin. 

Whatever the occasion, queue early to snare a spot (there’s no small group bookings after 5.30pm daily), and let the good times roll. 

Must Eat Dish: Tuna, kombu, daikon and chilli oil.
