Chapas - Mount Lawley

Wow. Not much wrong and lots right with this place. I am so tempted to give it 4.5 but then where to we go from there? Friendly happy and knowledgeable service. Good value food. A small but interesting wine list albeit a bit overpriced like the beer. But the star here is the individual dish flavours and food combos. Chapas proves that Asian tapas DOES work. Our group of 6 tried the $50 prix fixe and enjoyed the variety on offer. Standouts were the crispy duck and lamb and fennel with chilli dumplings. Other cited the pork belly. And the beef. There was something for everyone. I'd have liked a few more veggies thrown in with the same degree of imagination. And for me the deep fried egg plant (I think that's what it was?) was a "ug" but then others in my group liked it. Egg plant can be a bit personal like that. Highly recommended if you want to try something a bit different and are totally ok with the sharing thing.

Everything in this place is perfect ! Food, atmosphere and service was outstanding . My favourite was the in-house made coriander and prawn dumpling and I finished off the scrumptous milk tea panda cotta . Love love love , a refreshing and inventive menu that always impresses me everytime I eat here ❤️

A surprising and great little place. Dumplings made in house and are top quality. They have just redone the decor and it looks awesome. They are now serving local beers on tap, delicious. Love the service, food, and experience. Worth checking out!

Love the boa buns here! Also love the Asian fusion ambiance and vibe! This was my fourth visit and was quite disappointed in there new menu. Didn't have any of my old favourites on there! Ordered the pork dumplings, but was overpowered with more fishy taste. Vegetarian spring rolls were okay, crispy chicken sauce had too much ginger. Drinks menu also needs some jazzing up.

Firstly the Bao Buns were amazing and moreish I would go back for them alone, however after that it went down hill we ordered several plates and instead of scattering them they came out at once which mean not only did we feel rushed but the food was getting cold quickly. Squid tentacles would have tasted amazing if hey were hot and crispy but Instead they were cold and chewy, beef rib didn't fall off the bone and the duck pancakes were flavourless. Disappointing as we love Asian fusion and tapas but this place didn't hit the mark.
