Is it worth going out of your way for?

If you're after a lively, communal meal with a broad range of reliable Asian-inspired sharing plates, yes. It's a CBD fixture for consistent energy and a specific kind of group dining.

Groups, casual celebrations, and energetic date nights. The room is loud and designed for visibility, not intimate conversation.

What should you order?

Treat the menu as a shared spread. Prioritise the lobster roll, pot sticker dumplings, duck bao, and the slow-cooked Szechuan lamb shoulder to pass around the table.

How do you get a table?

Book via Sevenrooms. It's open seven days from 11:30am until late.

Anything to know before you go?

Come expecting a buzz, not a hush. The open kitchen and communal layout are part of the experience—order multiple plates to share and let them arrive at a staggered, relaxed pace.

Supernormal is Andrew McConnell's high-energy take on an Asian brasserie, with a crimson-lit, open-kitchen room designed for noise and motion. The menu is a disciplined pan-Asian spread—Japanese spine, Chinese and Korean touches—built entirely for sharing, with signatures like the New England lobster roll and slow-cooked Szechuan lamb shoulder. Its wine list holds a 3-Star accreditation from the World of Fine Wine. This is a place for groups and casual celebrations, not hushed conversation.
