SHU Restaurant

The verdict

Sitting in the heart of Collingwood, SHU is a Chinese fusion restaurant that we can guarantee that you’ll have so much fun at.

With an interesting menu of fusion dishes, it’s somewhere that everyone will find more than one dish that they’ll be hankering to try. The menu has been split in to different sections, including raw and chilled, street food, stir fry, seafood, and hometown memories.

While almost half the menu is vegan friendly, the other half is packed with some truly delicious non-vegan dishes, including more traditional Chinese dishes that have been given a modern twist, such as pork belly with preserved broad bean paste

As a venue, SHU has a lot to offer. The lighting is funky, yet has been beautifully designed – it’s a nod to the owner’s passion and appreciation for modern Melbourne dining. It’s intimate enough to have a quiet dinner, or if great food at home on the couch is the order of the day you can grab takeaway.

With a private dining space tucked behind the main restaurant area, SHU is the sort of place that we can easily envisage ourselves kicking back with a group of friends, tucking in to excellent and interesting food and wine and having a brilliant evening.
