Dined at Supernormal for a birthday lunch and we had banquet 1; the selection of dishes was pretty good! We loved the tuna, it melts in your mouth. The cold noodle salad was tasty and refreshing and I can rave about the lamb shoulder for ages! The meat was tender and so delicious! The marinated clams were underwhelming, but they were fresh so that was a positive. The most underwhelming part was the additional lobster roll we ordered (people had recommended it). If I'm honest, it was very normal, still yummy but didn't stand out. I wouldn't have it again. It was all very filling aka good value for money. To end the meal, the dessert which was a salted caramel parfait was delightful! Overall a lovely experience with exceptional and highly attentive staff. We were thoroughly impressed with the venue and the team. Will have to go back to try other dishes!

Was slightly sceptical of Supernormal but having tried it, I can say it’s worth the hype. Though the space is been around a while it somehow feels timeless. The menu is quite varied and everything I tried from it was very good - especially the veg dumplings and the prawns. Cocktails were also very nice.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere, but food was a bit off for us unfortunately. The chicken dish was not what we expected. It was presented cold, and there was a lot of fat and skin on it. To be honest I had trouble chewing it. The texture wasn’t working for me. It was one bite and done. The Korean rice cakes were a hit and the highlight of the meal! They were a 10! Our dumplings and pot stickers were good, but not great. A little heavy for my taste, but they were good. Overall a decent experience minus the chicken. I’d go back but wouldn’t go out of my way to eat at odd times if reservation wasn’t available or they didn’t have seats when I walked in.

Came down for a Melbourne trip and booked a number of venues for the trip. Hands down the best meal of the trip. Clever decor, thoughtful layout ad fit out and surprisingly good acoustics. Cocktails were exceptional and tasty, wine list well priced and paired nicely. Staff helped with wine selection. Food was incredible, tasty, delicate flavours and worked so well together. The lobster roll was 10/10 delicious, expensive but. Worth. Every. Cent. Service was exceptional, nicely attentive without being intrusive, casual but not familiar. Excellent recommendations both with food, the wine and for a drink afterwards. Will be back. $135pp food, cocktail and wine.

I gotta say, SuperNormal is awesome and now I know what all the hype is about. The service was on point – attentive but not hovering over us. And, the food? Delicious! Although, gotta admit, it's a bit pricey for what you get, but hey, that's kinda expected for a place like this. Surprisingly, just a few dishes can fill you up real good. The vibe is casual, but it can get a bit loud in there. We didn't have to wait long for our seats on our visit but you can expect to because it's a popular place. Still, we had a blast! Overall, I'd totally recommend it if you're up for some fancy-ish dining without all the stuffiness. Perfect for a chill night out with friends or low-key date.

Majority of the food we had was uh.. Super Normal. It was okay-good, not memorable at all. HOWEVER, what was not super- normal but rather impeccable was their famous lobster rolls- packed suprisingly with generous amounts of juicy lobster meat sandwiched between slightly crispy, buttery brioche buns and paired with a great sauce. I've had many at specialty lobster roll joints but this place outdoes all and is truly THE BEST. Service is wonderful.

The ambience and service were top notch (minus the kimchi preparation at the bar right after dessert). The food was a let down to be honest. Flavours were basic and really nothing special really. Not one dish was memorable. The best dish was probably dessert and wasn’t really Asian inspired.

Not much to fault really! Every dish was executed as it should. The rice cakes were soft, chewy, but slightly crispy on the outside. The nori had the perfect crunch and the scallop was seared beautifully. The lamb was amazingly tender and had real depth of flavour. The coconut sago and ginger granita were perfectly balanced and very refreshing. The peanut butter parfait was silky smooth. Service was fantastic. It was the perfect lunch.

As the time passes, some are forgotten, some stay with us - vivid in our memories. From those who stay, some stay with good taste, some with bad… :-) Supernormal was the best food in Melbourne for us, we already knew it then and kept on visiting during our stay, but after some time, it gets clearer in our mind, yes, the fish, steak, dumplings, kimchi, the atmosphere and the amazing staff… we didn’t forget, you belong to our best memories, thank you very much!

It was a pleasant first experience. Very nice atmosphere and friendly service. Certain items on the menu were different to photos posted. The flavours of the duck and lamb dishes were salty and strong for our taste buds. The price point for the lobster rolls were higher than what we expected it to taste. The mocktails however were quite nice. Undecided on when our next visit will be.

At first I found the name of this place a little strange but after experiencing it, it completely makes sense. Everything had a normal feel to it but everything is super nice! Staff, food, atmosphere, comfort - everything! Food came out at the perfect time between each dish(and the place was busy), I ate a lot over lunch but didn't feel exhausted for the rest of the day(huge tick!). 100% worth a visit.

Great setting and service was exceptional. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. Food was top, the banquet no2. was perfect amount to try a few dishes across the wide range menu. Totally recommend the lobster roll and the pot dumpling

The first thing we noticed was the strikingly good service and attention to detail from our waitress. The food was delicious, particularly the lobster roll. All the other dishes we had were also of great quality. The vibrant atmosphere and impressive decor of the establishment also added to our great experience.

The food was rather mediocre, considering the high price tag attached to it. When I made the online reservation for our group, there was no mention of a mandatory banquet menu. Initially, I didn't mind, as it's a common practice for restaurants to offer banquet menus for larger groups. However, I was truly dismayed when I discovered what the banquet menu entailed, especially considering its cost of $85 per person. I was deeply disappointed because the banquet didn't include many of the highly praised dishes that had initially inspired me to make the reservation. The photos I've shared represent all the dishes we were served. Please note that the quantities of each dish have been adjusted for our group of 10; we received 2-3 plates of each dish, except for dessert, where each person received an individual serving. To be more specific, in the salad photo, the Korean rice cake, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, and salad were all singular dishes. At the same price point, we could have enjoyed numerous iconic dishes that were unfortunately absent from the banquet menu, such as the lobster roll and the duck bao. The banquet menu offered no flexibility so we were stuck with the same main across the group. I could probably buy a whole tub of pickled cucumber and Korean rice cake at a local Asian mart for 10 dollars. What further frustrated me was that the staff didn't inquire if we were finished with our plates and prematurely removed a full plate of rice cake and salad. Given that the dishes were meant to be shared, what if someone else in our group still wanted to enjoy them? Not only did the restaurant overcharge for their offerings, but they also seemed eager to rush us out of the establishment.

I last visited Supernormal in 2021 and have previously had such amazing experiences that I literally tell everyone if there's one restaurant they must visit in Melbourne, it's this one. But after returning myself, I was a bit disappointed! We ordered the Banquet Menu 2 at $120pp. This is about the same price as last time and should probably have been an early warning sign that other aspects of the experience must have dropped to keep the price so consistent. When it came to the food, the flavours were certainly good but the serving sizes were all off. I have visited and had the banquet in groups of various sizes, as small as 1 person to this visit with 3. Whilst some of the items were clearly catered to number of guests, there were others where the serving size was the same as I received when dining alone! This was particularly evident with items like the flatbread and the side vegetables/salad. Given the banquet is charged per person I think they need some consistency here. As for service, it started strong but went downhill. They have clearly become more popular and I got the feeling they try to get people in and out as quickly as possible, one effect of this was that the cocktail of one person on our table was taken away when there were still a few sips left. After we raised it (not in a negative way, more just as an FYI) there was a noticeable downturn in service, with our original server avoiding our table and being replaced by others just coming by to drop off food and go. On my previous visits, Supernormal had perfected that boutique, casual yet refined vibe, with great food and service to match. This time things felt impersonal and rushed, almost a competition to get through as many tables as possible in the night. A victim of their own success perhaps? I miss the old Supernormal and hope they can get back to what they used to be.

Lovely experience at Supernormal. Upon arrival we were greeted, and there was this particular Asian female staff (I’m sorry that I don’t remember your name) who was really accommodating and kind throughout our entire meal. Restaurant is clean, well maintained and spacious. Korean rice cakes were underwhelming - it tastes just like the small snacks I make at home, so I was a bit underwhelmed that it was an entree for $10. Scallops were good, and also the lobster roll was amazing! Dumplings were okay. Whiting was one of the best fish dishes I had, really soft and easy to eat and tasty. Our steak with kimchi on the side was also really interesting menu as well Overall the food was a pleasant surprise and I feel like they’ve experimented quite well with the flavours.

One of the best dining experience in Melbourne. Great food, great drinks and lovely ambiance. The Lobster roll, Milawa chicken and Claypot rice were amazing. The service was a bit slow but given that it was a busy night it was understandable and it did not hamper our experience at all. Recommend this place and looking forward to dining here soon again.

(Translated by Google) pretty good (Original) 挺好的

Like it

The location is stunning. We seated next to the bar because they were fully booked, but it was a good experience. The staff was so friendly and meticulous. We ordered a set menu. I enjoyed the bread with eggplant mousse, crackers and noodles. If you like the peanut, you have to try the peanuts’ dessert. Unfortunately, I ordered the meringa with raspberries but they brought me a scoop of ice cream with raspberries. If you like Asian food I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Hands down my favourite restaurant in the city! Every meal is full of flavour and love, have been blown away every time! Highly recommend just ordering a banquet and trying all the best items off the menu. Lobster rolls are to die for 😍 if only I could eat here every night of the week.

Wow! I didn't have the lobster roll but my family say it was amazing But the Wagu steak I can't explain how amazing it was. So perfectly well cooked! And wherever sauce came with it (sauce in photo) HAD to have crack in it- amazing! Noodles delicious. The lamb was huge more then enough for 2-3. Had a lovely lemon sake was so nice we ordered a bottle when we got home. Worth the money and would go again

6 of us had the $80 banquet and added the lobster rolls, worth every cent we were all filled to the brim. Our waiter Steven was gorgeous, attentive, took photos for us as it was my daughters 21st. Food always 1000/100, every mouthful bursting with flavour

Supernormal is definitely one of the most popular Asian fusion restaurants in Melbourne. The venue is always busy and lively. The dishes were presented quite nicely but the flavours didn’t always hit the mark. I would say the famous lobster roll is definitely worth a try. However, many of the other dishes were too salty and lacked overall balance in flavours. The cost was also quite high for what you get.

My friends and I had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and was served fast. The staff members were friendly and regularly checked on us. The food is served in various plate sizes that you can share amongst the table. I highly recommend it!

It is indeed Super-Normal. Dining here alone is enough to ruin the whole experience to visit Melbourne. The service is shockingly inattentive, white wine was served and left on the table without ice bucket, the oyster was served with wrong dressing and the waiter never come back to explain the mistake upon checking.. Main courses were served before the starters are served, again missed order placed by by the waiter who walking around like a model 🙄. The lobster roll is tiny, can’t really taste any lobster meat than chopped up seafood sticks. The worst food and dining experience so far in Melbourne.

Quite amazing resturant with mind blowing courses. Very unique tastful dishes which perfectly presented. Walked in on a busy Friday night and suprisngly got 2 seats at the bar which was fun and were able to see the chef and cooks preparing dishes. We ordered plenty of small dishes and entree which was a suggestion from one of their staff and didn't regret it got to try many dishes and had my on eye on other dishes was preapring and wished I ordred one of those too. We got oysters which was fresh and came with a nice sauce. Some eggplant dish and I am speechless for that. Wagyu ribs, abesloutly mindblowing. And wagyu bun , one of my fav.

My partner took me here for my birthday and it was such an amazing experience from the food, drinks, service and atmosphere; everything was really enjoyable! We sat at the bar opposite the chefs which was entertaining to watch and see how everything is prepared. All of our dishes were exceptional, extremely flavourful and well executed. I enjoyed every single dish we ordered and they all came out quickly. The drinks were so delicious and refreshing, we kept ordering more! The service was impeccable, prompt, friendly and professional. The dessert was amazing and I even got a special birthday addition at the end. Would highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be back!

Yum. What an experience! As an expecting mother to be, the staff were super attentive and helpful with choosing dishes. We did a late lunch service and thoroughly enjoyed each dish we ordered as well as our drinks.

Fantastic dinner with top notch service. The bar program and menu is excellent. The atmosphere is lively with a semi-open kitchen to get a peek of what’s going on behind the scenes. So many things sounded good; a return visit is a must.

Cannot fault supernormal - they made room for me and my husband on a busy dinner service! And the food did not disappoint. Favorites would be the lobster roll and the duck. The waiter - sorry forgot his name was very considerate with our food portions. Will definitely come back again!

A great find while visiting Melbourne. We knew it was going to be a great place when we’re greeted by a super friendly host. Everyone working there was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed: - scallops - tuna and kingfish - lobster roll - pork cutlet sandwich YUUUUUUM!!! - Milawa Chicken We would have ordered more if we weren’t full

If there is a 10 stars button, I definitely will choose one. We bumped into this restaurant on a New Years Eve, didn’t have any dinner plan on my first few days in Melbourne. A very relaxed and attentive service gave a superb impression, with very knowledgeable staffs, even that one Chef on the cold section. True legends!

Such a good and safe restaurant to go to when you don't know anywhere else to go. I went for dinner and had the set menu which was overall yummy but not the best seasoned food I've had. There are definitely other restaurants that have better tasting food for a better price. However, i definitely recommend getting the set menu as all of the dishes complimented each other. The service was great with attentive waiters. The ambience was also really nice. It's a great place for a dinner date or even a catchup with friends.

Top-notch Asian fusion I had the $120pp banquet for dinner. The foods were incredible and I enjoyed every dish. Each dish is amazingly creative and the ingredient quality is super good. The most note-worthy one was the lobster roll, which is the best lobster roll I’ve had in Melbourne so far. The amount of foods were just right for us and they came out fairly fast! I have nothing but to praise their service. They all are friendly, professional, and always smiling. The ambience is absolutely great! But I definitely recommend to book for a table in advance.

Slow service, bad communication from the waitress who served us. Food is pretentious and overpriced. There are BETTER restaurants along Flinders Lane

Walk in with no reservation on Saturday before 5. Lucky to sit facing the bar station. The food were really well served. Pan-asia fusion style. Definitely recommend the lobster roll. So good and fresh.

A must visit if you go to Melbourne! The combination of distinct Japanese flavours along with Hong Kong and Shanghai cooking is what makes this restaurant exceptional ⁣? ⁣ The flavours, cooking styles and ingredients are well in tuned to create a special experience. In fact, I found this to be my new inspiration for my future cooking ?.⁣ ⁣ I've been here twice and everything was so spectacular that you would definitely go back for the same dish

Enjoyed a long lunch with friends. Excellent food - especially recommend the cold noodle salad. Delicious. Service was really good and the lady gave great advice on what to order. Fun venue that really shows off what Melbourne is great at - fun food and bars.

Staff are amazing, food is excellent, and the ambience is incredible here. Famous for its lobster rolls

Best food I've had in Melbourne. Is quiet pricey, however is well worth it. My girlfriend says this is a must try.

Fantastic dining experience; really impressive food and lovely attentive staff

A great welcome back to Melbourne with another super dining experience. Lively restaurant in a funky setting. Many seating options to suit all - singles to groups. Sharing plates with many options for all dietary requirements with 2020 price ranges. Wait staff were informative & interactive during table service. Walking distance to public transport. All round our group had a memorable dinner. Thanks :-)

The level of service here is exceptional considering it is a more of a casual dining eatery. We had a flight to catch after dinner and the staff was excellent in expediting our orders! The Asian inspired food was beautifully crafted and absolutely delectable. Highly recommend if you're in Melbourne.

Been meaning to go forever here as loved by so many friends but always found it hard to get in and now I can see why. Went for lunch with some friends and this is a great thing do as few couples given the layout of the menu with idea of sharing. Everything was both tasty and original. Loved the variety and different portion sizes; the main size was enough for 4 of us to share. The service was friendly and the wine list interesting and balanced. All in all a fantastic experience and can't wait to go back.

We walked in and had a drinlk while we waited for our table - there are no reservations. Lovely service and greeting and a very efficent system for getting a drink and then taken to our table. Service was outstanding - make syou smile! We were also recommened to try various dishes which were fantastic.

Love the cold salad noodles and lobster rolls! Fav! One is its kind experience for sure and we had the drumstick deep fried duck that looks like chocolate! :) good ambience and staff is great. Taken care of well. Thank you

amazing food and wine...fast service and friedly staff

Not sure of their names but maitre d and waitress with blond short hair were awesome great attentive service food was good but service was something else defiantly coming back

What a perfect ending to our two weeks down under. Supernormal was right near our hotel in CBD. We came by earlier in the day to put a name for later. When we arrived we were seated right away. The space is modern and fun, with vending machines delivering Pocky snacks. The open kitchen is a nice touch. Food is meant for sharing though so good you won't want to.

New England Lobster Roll... Enough Said...

Good food, service is great as well.

So freaking good! The host was super accommodating and nice. We booked through our hotel and there was a discrepancy in time of the booking and he was great about correcting. The food was excellent. Yummy dumplings (veggie and the chicken / prawn). The red snapper and wagyu both superb. Sautéed greens side a must. The waiter was also really friendly.

Outstanding. Everything was great and can't wait to spend an evening here again.

Now this is some high quality food. Amazing, Tasty, Different. Love this place, I have had the banquet more than a few times and keep returning. THE LOBSTER ROLLS = AMAZING!!!!!

I actually ate at their St Kilda sister restaurant, but couldn't find it on TripAdvisor. Cool setting, fairly busy. The food is split amongst smaller plates and larger share plates. Kingfish, whiting and pork belly skewers from the hibachi were very good, though the pork was a little chewy. Smoked yoghurt with fresh heirloom tomatoes was the equal of any meat dishes on offer. Best of all were the chicken and prawn dumplings with spiced chilli vinegar - just the right balance of heat and vinegar, and the dumplings were so soft and plump I felt like a bully for eating them. I also had a bowl of greens but had overordered and couldn't finish them. As a chef it really hurts to say though that the food is matched by the excellent service - attentive, friendly and efficient without ever hovering over me.

Banquet menu1

Food this by its presence form the street. Lucked it in to be able to sit at the bar waiting for a table which we declined when our turn came up. Sipping, talking, eating and seeing such an excellent team of people looking after everyone, helping each other and most all keeping that personal touch with each and everyone around us was enlightening. Food was excellent, well priced and we will be back, next time we are in Melbourne

Perfect outing with the two of us !

Food service and setting top notch Absolute value for money

Very interesting fusion style cuisines. Worth the dollar that you'll spend here. Service and food are top-notch!

Scrumptious! Friendly service, yummy food and really nice drinks... couldn't ask for anything more!

Ahh amazing!

Excellence ! Service fantastic ! Snapper was wow !

Not impressed. at over 90 dollars a person (we did not have wine or alcohol), this falls way below expectations. The good: table service is great. Attentive and pleasant. The bad: The food, sort of asian fusion tapas, is just OK. While some items were quite good, the dishes, meant for sharing, do not flow. well Overall, the feel is "buffet quality" not "a la carte quality". Especially the chicken pork dumplings were a disappointment. A friend wanted a dessert, but based on performance decided against it. Coffee was also just OK.

Good food great great people

We had our staff lunch ,food and staff were amazing

Love this place

Absolutely looooved eating here! The waitress we had was amazing! Her service definitely made the restaurant so much more enjoyable to eat in as well. Group menu definitely made us full and couldn't fault anything that was bad. I recommend the lobster roll from here! Yummm ?

No it is not normal...it is well above normal...it should be super delicious. The price is a bit salty for my taste.... but that ensure they will always have a place for you to eat great japas (japanese tapas).

Pan Asian food experience. Loved it, booking really recommended.

I feel like the banquet is a bit overpriced for what you get. Plenty of food, but not wowed by it. Service was ruthlessly efficient. My water got topped up so often it felt like every sip was an invitation for a team member to dash forward and carefully keep it at high tide. Food came out at a roaring clip. Too fast initially - then it slowed riiiiight down. I wouldn’t recommend the banquet really. Order from the menu and get what you really want. ?

Food was great at a decent price, some photos of the lobster roll, snapper and dessert

Good place with good food - a tad expensive but overall a really good place for dinner modern fusion Japanese food.

Have only tried a limited amount of the menu- not horrible but not good enough to return Started with veg dumplings and duck bao - better half of the meal. Duck leg a touch dry and Plum sauce was lacking punch. Wife liked the dumplings Then had Szechuan lamb and noodles. Both of these dishes were suprisingly bland Normally would try dessert but very underwhelmed so did not bother

Very good food. Very good staff

Food was delicious, service was good and a great atmosphere

Supernormal offers a truly super-flavourful diming experience. A great variety of unique and inspiring dishes on offer, with the lobster rolls everyone was talking about before we even ordered, and the delicious highlight that was dessert. With a fusion menu offering something memorable to be on your plate, Supernormal is sure to entice you to come back.

Supernormal is a barn of a place, loud and packed, but the service doesn't miss a beat. The menu is explained quickly, there's no problems dealing with dietary issues, the food comes out fast, and it's superb. The menu here is share plates - small dishes and larger meals all made to share around the table. We had no trouble finishing our meal in the allotted 2 hours, but also never felt rushed. And the staff were superb - great understanding of the food, and wine, and recommendations were spot on. Our favourite Melbourne restaurant.

Many range of wine and Japanese whiskey. Prawn&chicken dumplings and vegetable dumplings are delicious. At the beginning, the waiter staff were too keen to take orders. Just felt little bit pushed. But overall, great foods and service.

We opted for the $75 set menu after countless recommendations to have a dinner at Supernormal and it exceeded our expectations. All dishes were fresh, delicious and perfectly sized. The Lamb and kingfish were standouts. Fantastic aesthetic, vibe and service - would return immediately!

Great service, menu, sake and drink list all wrapped up in a nice ambiance. One of the best restaurants I have been to in Australia. Well priced as well.

I love the atmosphere at this restaurant. The food is Asian fusion and tastes incredible. Service and staff is amazing. It is always busy and very hard to get a booking at the time you want. So book in advance so you don’t have to wait in the long queues. My friend and I are regulars here. But one time we came without a booking and had to wait for 1 hour and 45 mins till they had a table ready for us. 😅 worth the wait though!

The biggest reason for coming here for so long is the New England lobster rolls these tasty AF does something to me like no other! Always love coming back and treating myself with Supernormal’s take on food and service. 10 out of 10

Excellent services and great food. But it is Expensive and they served low value food item with high price. Not able to justify my return.

Best restaurant in town, great food, great service and we will keep coming back for more! Well done to the Supernormal team! 💯💯💯

Tasty upmarket food with tasting menus (‘banquet’). The service was nice and attentive and appropriate for the price. Ambience came across as relaxed, but refined. Would recommend ordering items a la carte to share if there are more than 2 of you. The tasting menu options looks great, but for over 2 diners you will probably get better value with the a la carte and better matched choices for your dietary requirements/tastes. The lobster rolls are very tasty, but I’d say my favourite dishes were the snapper fillet and the wok fried greens. They also have an interesting drinks selection and would strongly recommend their cocktails. They provide quite sturdy chopsticks as your main utensil with additional cutlery depending on the dish. Would say that the dishes are a bit more subtle than Chin Chin, but I believe it provides similar value (possibly better) in a more subdued atmosphere to match. Will be interesting to see how the sister restaurant Gimlet compares.

This is a great place to have a nice date night or a dinner with friends - it has good food and ambience all rolled into one fun place. All the dishes we ordered were done so well. The lobster roll was probably our favourite because of how much of an unassuming flavour bomb it was. Only gripe would probably be the oysters which were a lot smaller than we’d expected, and the dessert we had was tad too sweet and cloying. That aside, they had an extensive menu that had many novel dishes to try. This place is definitely worth checking out!

Banquet Menu 1 was honestly delightful… everything was so delicious and my personal fave was the noodle salad, it was simply incredible with so much flavour. The only let down for me was the main dish as it lacked depth of flavour in comparison to all the other selections but overall would definitely recommend to others for a great night out!

I found it to be a distinctly “whelming” experience. I had an awareness of Supernormal for years and had always heard it highly recommended. Wife and I chose a variety of the smaller bites and shared the steak for the main. The smaller bites were overall “good” but the lobster roll was no better than any I have had in the past. Lobster rolls can only be so good. And they were small, and very expensive. White cut chicken - tasty, do recommend. Tender and flavoursome sauce. Dumplings - texturally excellent. Delicious. Almost certainly Lao Gan Ma Chili crisp oil to season though, available from the supermarket. Would have liked a in-house Chili oil. The steak was poor. No seasoning whatsoever, and tough. The purée it was served upon was mostly tasteless. Our least favourite dish which is a shame as steak actually isn’t difficult to do excellently.

Second time at SN and like the first experience it was amazing! I had the banquet which is incredibly reasonably priced... I thought the courses would never stop! Lots of powerful flavours and the servings are just right. The staff are incredibly attentive. They didn't let my glass of water empty before refilling, and the servings came out at reasonable intervals. It's a well oiled machine. They are happy to offer suggestions for example wine choices to go with the food. They have a great team and work ethic. Happy to get fat eating too much here! My personal recommendation is the lobster roll. Incredibly moreish!

Flawless lunch! Tried many dishes and each had a unique flavor profile, all with a very Asian undertone, our favorite! Gluten free options are plenty. Service was smooth and very friendly! Can’t wait to go back to try other dishes!

Great private room dinner for corporate events. The service was excellent. Very attentive, and also respectful of the presenters. The food as ever was first class with a great range of sharing plates including fresh oysters, dumplings and calamari. Faultless. The beverages were great, and wine glasses regularly topped up. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed lunch here today and were grateful to have gotten a table without a booking at opening time. By 12.30pm the restaurant was packed. Standout dishes were duck bao, sesame flatbread and peanut butter parfait. Lobster roll was tasty but slightly overpriced.

Supernormal was just that without the 'super'. Atmosphere was buzzing, but once we settled in, I noticed the decor looked tacky and cheap for a restaurant thats $$$. Service was excellent, attentive, polite, extra touch of wiping your table and bringing fresh plates between food without the annoyance, I really appreciated this. We had 8 share plates. It started off ok, got better then we got tired of it...tired of the common flavour that we found across all food, which was the chilli and kimchi, sour salty taste, we were over it. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, wagyu beef big tick (how did they make this?!) dumplings thin silky smooth wrap and my favorite was the lobster roll, dessert was 'oh yeah, we're getting there!' But we didn't, nothing blew me away. Would I eat there again...No. Let's just say it was an experience.

The food was great!! Especially lobster roll. Customer service was excellent as well. All staff were friendly but professional. We had a great time with yummy food :) definitely recommended and will be back soon

3.5 ⭐️- Beautiful interior & great atmosphere. Gets super busy at night, so the wait for everything is super long. Got the banquet 1, pretty good value for the amount of food, although some dishes were pretty average. The most notable dishes; 🍤 Lobster roll - we ordered off the menu & would highly recommend it! 🍤 Noro cracker with seared Tuna - another highlight with amazing flavours & texture 🍤 Prawn & chicken dumplings - generous filling & seasoned well, the sauce was quite salty tho

Great fresh exciting and robust flavors. I was particularly surprised by the rice cakes. They had a nice crisp to them and a nice chewy interior. Will highly recommend!

Great ambience and great food. Supernormal is located right in the heart of CBD. Staff members are very professional and courteous. We had to book a weeks ahead for a Saturday night spot, it was worth the wait though.

Supernormal is definitely Not normal, food and wine are next level. But after visiting a few of the establishments in the Trader House Group this trip we can see why they are so successful and highly awarded as a whole. Shout out to Somm Daniel, excellent knowledge, well communicated and sensational selections to pair with the dishes we selected. Highly recommended for a quality, modern Asian Dinner experience and on our list for a repeat visit when we're next in Melbourne.

Eating here with friends was just super !!! Easy to book on line, lovely greeting at the door and the waitress just so lovely and attentive ! The ambience happy and upbeat, We all ordered the banquet 1 and supplemented the with the lobster roll which we'd heard about and it surely lives up to its reputation !!! delicious. The slow cooked pulled pork a must ! THANKS SUPERNORMAL for the amazing evening !

Amazing food and amazing service !! The drinks were soo good! We got the banquet 1 and added the lobster rolls and it was so worth it. There was so much food and we were so impressed with the quality! The service was really good to everyone was so lovely ! It was my mums birthday so they also gave us cake !! Would 100% recommend if you like yummy Asian fusion food ! I am pescatarian and they easily swapped the meat dishes for other dishes I could eat so they are also very accomodating !

The white cut chicken preserved the juiciness while adding on a crispy and bold flavour. The lobster roll was smaller but it packed a punch. Honestly the food was just amazing

The service at super normal was impeccable and I was really surprised when the food didn’t follow. You can tell they have placed a lot of thought into the environment and the experience that each customer has and I admire that although I wouldn’t call this a memorable experience because there wasn’t a single dish that made me think “ I need to come back here “. The taste of the fish told me that the produce wasn’t fresh and I think they over complicated the flavours used in the Spiced wagyu intercostal ssam.

Given supernormal is one of Melbourne’s most popular restaurants, my friend booked it for my birthday and it lived up to the hype. We had the sesame flatbread which was crisp and delicious, alongside the pot sticker dumplings which were juicy and tasty. Also, we had the twice-cooked duck bao, which was delicious in that the duck was very well cooked and the plum sauce to die for, and Hapuka which was well-cooked and well-sauced. Lastly, for dessert we had the milk cake which was a highlight, well-balanced and a deliciously soft sponge, and the peanut cookies, which to be honest were standard and a little underwhelming. Overall good service and a fantastic experience. 9/10 Supernormal Gin and Tonic is nice too.

Have just finished the banquet meal & it was amazing. From the initial greeting upon entering, to the fantastic staff who looked after us while dining - including changing one item for another due to dietary requirements - through the speed of service and, of course, the amazing food. It was everything I expected and more. Would definatelu come back (if not from WA) and would they to get a seat at the pass next time - for Dinner and a Show! Looking forward to going through the Cookbook that came with the banquet. Amazing!

On 17 May we went to Supernormal for our date night and we got the Banquet Menu 1 which includes: 🥗 Szechuan pickled vegetables 🐟 Nori cracker, seared tuna, bonito 🍚 Korean rice cakes, sweet chilli, sesame 🥗 Grilled runner beans, whipped sesame & laver 🍤 Prawn & chicken dumplings, chilli & black vinegar 🍖 Slow-cooked lamb shoulder, eggplant, Yuxiang sauce, crispy garlic 🍀 Shredded cabbage, cumin seeds, ginger & mint 🍚 Steamed Japanese short grain rice 🍨 Peanut butter parfait, salted caramel & soft chocolate Everything was delicious and well portioned. The service was great, they were quite flexible and able to cater to dietary requirements or preference (I didn’t like peanut butter so they gave me meringue dessert 😋). I’ve been here twice and both times were great, 100% recommend you to visit! ✨

Wow. This place is amazing. Glad we stopped in for a late dinner. Everything was on point. Drinks were so good. The food was incredible. It lived up to the hype and ratings. The tuna was so delicate and tasty. The dumplings were outstanding. The prawns were good, but not the best thing we ate. The bread was fantastic. Really liked the kimchi. The peanut butter desert was delish. Loved the lobster roll too. We were stuffed, but wish we would have had one of the main fish dishes that looked so good…..people eating it next to us. This is a must stop place.

This place has such beautiful Asian fusion food, ambience, and service. The duck bao and scallop dumplings were delicious, and the bread with the avocado dip was divine. The decor is very modern and trendy. The wait staff were lovely and friendly. Definitely not cheap eats but we will be back!

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday evening with friends at this amazing Asian fusion restaurant. The staffs were very attentive and professional throughout the meal. They had frequently poured water into our cups when they were empty and changed our plates when they got dirtied by the seasonings of the various dishes. The food definitely surprised me, as many Asian-fusion places in Melbourne normally leaned to the westernised dishes rather than an Asian flavours. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how this little gem on the other hand leant itself more towards the Asian palette still with the little twists that we love the Asian-fusion cuisines for. Though, the peanut butter parfait salted caramel that we had for dessert was a bit too much on the sweet end of things. Needless to say, the $85pp gourmet menu can be a bit pricey. However, each course was very generous in the amount of food that was served. Yet be warned for the 10% Sunday surcharge that is the usual for all city restaurants. All in all a wonderful experience and I would love to come back to try other dishes that they offer on the menu.

This was truly a five star culinary experience in every possible way. We had a large corporate function there and we were lucky enough to try the Supernormal banquet (menu pictured). Upon entering, I was quickly greeted by a delightful server who took my jacket and put it on a coat rack - something I can honestly say has never happened to me - ever. All staff members I encountered during the banquet were polite, friendly, fast and, most importantly, attentive. They rattled off each dish with confidence and ensured our glasses were never empty. The food was picture perfect - art on a plate. It tasted just as good as it looked too. Some of the dishes were a bit out there, even for my experienced foodie tastebuds! But even the weird dishes had a unique flair to them that I ended up savouring. My favourite dishes were the dumplings and mini lobster rolls. My least favourite dish was the seafood kimchi. The venue itself is flashy, hip and expansive. Suitable for a very special birthday, function or date night.

⭐️ 4/5 Asian fusion restaurants in the city with a boujee atmosphere, delightful food, and impeccable warm lighting. Service ⭐️ 4/5 The staff is well-trained, exhibiting excellence from greetings to overall service. Despite a bustling venue, they remain super approachable. The only room for improvement is a slightly quicker pace in delivering the food. Food ⭐️ 4/5 Melbourne's classic Asian fusion cuisine, blending East and West with a modern and luxurious touch. While everything tasted exquisite and expensive, note that the dishes tend to lean towards a salty flavor profile, complementing well with the drinks.
