Brisbane Late night diners in Brisbane have hit the jackpot with chef Luke Nguyen's stunning eatery Fat Noodle serving up delectable Pan Asian dishes night. We go about as upmarket as this blog gets at Luke Nguyen's Fat Noodle in Sydney's Star City Casino. We love trying upmarket and oz-modded versions of street foodie classics, and the parents are in town and keen to try some tv chef food, so we waddle down to Star City Casino to feast at Luke Nguyen's Fat Noodle. Luke Nguyen, executive chef of Fat Noodle, shares the food lessons he learnt from his childhood. Joyfully referring to himself as a ‘boat person’, celebrity chef Luke Nguyen distinctly remembers a childhood centred around fresh produce and flavoursome food.
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.
