Celebrity chef Luke Nguyen is to open a venue in Brisbane. Fat Noodle is slated to open its doors in December in the recently revamped Treasury Casino in Queen Street.
The 100-seater restaurant will have a street frontage entrance separate from the casino and serve pan-Asian 'hawker style' food including Nguyen’s own Vietnamese as well as Chinese, Thai, and Malaysian.
Nguyen, who also co-owns Red Lantern in Sydney’s Surry Hills as well as Fat Noodle in the Star Casino in Darling Harbour said that while the concept was the same, the Brisbane venue would have a slightly different menu.
'There will be rice and noodles but also some of my favourite dishes from my travels through Asia; pho of course, cooked in 400 litre kettles with oxtail and wagyu, as well as abalone congee, soft-shell crab and rice paper rolls. Then there will be wok fried dishes like cubed Angus beef with black pepper and garlic.'
Prices would range from $12-17, he said. 'The idea is simple street food based on premium produce.'
According to Nguyen, Fat Noodle Sydney turns over around 1800 people a day and he expects the Brisbane to be even busier.
'I’ve been to Brisbane many times and I’ve watched the food scene grow and grow. There’s a real hunger for Asian flavours here so I thought it was a perfect time for an Asian noodle bar.'
A kitchen staff of forty will man the burners 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Rachel Luchetti from Sydney design firm Luchetti Krelle, also responsible for interiors at Sake Brisbane and the celebrated Momofuku Seiobo at the Star Casino said Fat Noodle Brisbane would be 'very different' from its Sydney sibling.

'There have been some challenges, both with the building and creating something that’s so high turnover but is still a bit special, but I can say that it’s going to be big on wow factor.'

Luke Nguyen Star Casino&hotel
The latest restaurant from celebrity chef Luke Nguyen has opened at the Treasury Casino and Hotel in the city, just in time for last-minute work Christmas lunches and late-night feasts. Fat Noodle is Luke’s second noodle bar, with the first Fat Noodle having opened at The Star in Sydney two years ago.
Dishing up primarily Chinese cuisine, but also touching on Vietnamese, Thai and Malay fare, Fat Noodle draws on both Luke’s Vietnamese heritage and Chinese family history for menu inspiration. This contemporary noodle bar sees fresh produce channelled into both exotic and authentic noodle dishes amongst the revamped Treasury Casino setting.
On the menu, small plates include Vegetarian Spring Rolls of glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, tofu and carrots and Atlantic Salmon Sashimi with mandarin, perilla, lemongrass and roasted rice powder. Of the noodle soups on offer, the Fat Pho Noodle of Luke’s signature beef broth, thinly sliced Angus sirloin and brisket, bean sprouts, Thai basil, chilli and rice noodles is a stand out, while the Abalone & Chicken Congee with Chinese Rice Porridge tempts our penchant for sea-sourced rarities. Wok and rice dishes also feature in a mix of meat and vegetarian offerings, with a large selection also gluten free.
Based at the casino, Fat Noodle is open late into the evening, allowing us to indulge in our love of Asian cuisine anytime of the day or night.
