Sabrosa Dim Sum House

Chinese$$

Noosa lacked a good Chinese restaurant for years. That was, until Nathan Ramsay, of nearby Somedays Pizza (which serves top pizza alongside easy-drinking natural wines), opened the glowing red Sabrosa Dim Sum House. Head chef Kaung Htet Nyein (previously a dim sum chef in Myanmar), makes his own baozi filled with shredded hoisin duck, and prawn toast made from youtiao (fried Chinese dough stick) filled with minced prawn and a fruity mango mayonnaise.

There are only a handful of wine distributors in the region, prompting Ramsay to source his own from wholesalers. The restaurant has a wine room (complete with DJ booth), where you can browse the many natural and biodynamic drops on offer. Like the playlist, the 2024 One Armed Scissor Chardonnay from Margaret River has just the right amount of funk, and enough acidity to cut through the char siu pork and lap cheong fried rice.
