Does the name sound familiar? Yep, this new resto-bar takes its name from the Hong Kong adult magazine, Lung Fu Pao. Located on Elgin Street, this new hangout is a raunchy-themed yakitori-sushi restaurant and bar from the group behind the eatery Holy Eats. Staying true to its namesake, the venue is peppered with racy images and sexual innuendos – from the series of bananas hanging by the entrance to its hentai-themed menu and toilet walls filled with porn magazine tear sheets.
Expect modern servings of sushi, kushiyaki, and maki served on plates printed with risqué images. Try the snapper carpaccio ($148) and any of the sushi boats ($228 to $458) but do watch out for the uni if it's fresh. For drinks, you can pair their dishes with highballs, Chuhai cocktails (shochu, soda, and fruit juice), or any of their naughty-named drinks like mezcal based Kitty Juice, refreshing Kabuki Mule, or the fizzy Pornstar. They also provide a great selection of Japanese whisky or sake, so you’ll have plenty of options for your libation. Space is a bit tight, so the place is mostly packed during dinner time. Make sure to book a reservation to secure seats.
