Dine on specialities that highlight the flavours of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Korean cuisines. Chunky Chau serves big bites and even bigger flavours.
Savour a symphony of flavours at Chunky Chau
Chunky Chau’s story is rooted in a deep love of food and meaningful connection. After extensively travelling through Asia, Mr Chau and his food-loving friends brought a collection of their favourite lessons and flavours to Johannesburg and opened the restaurant. With a name centred around the visionary behind the restaurant and the word chunky, a word often used by native speakers as a term of affection, what began as a mission to share the love of food now spans two vibrant locations across Johannesburg. The menu the dedication of the staff has earned the restaurant both widespread recognition and the 2025 Luxe People’s Choice Award for Best Asian Fusion in Johannesburg.
At Chau’s, the extensive menu was specially designed to encourage diners to share meals and create unforgettable memories with friends and family. Break down the social barrier of individual dishes, and once everyone agrees which menu appeals to them, sit back and enjoy. Sip on the restaurant’s infamous and unique tea-infused cocktails while dining on pan-Asian delicacies such as six fresh oysters or classic noodles and rice dishes like the spicy miso Kansu ramen or Chau’s pad Thai Gai Gung. Diners who crave spicy foods will love the selection of spicy Thai-inspired curries, such as the two-chilli-rated Thai Panang Red Chicken Curry or the three-chilli-rated Thai garlic-chilli prawn Pil-Pil. Colourful poke bowls, big or small plates for sharing, tasty, packed parcels, and sweet treats are also highlights on the restaurant’s menu.
Diners who are feeling adventurous utter the phrase, I oda Omakase. With this showcase of trust, the talented chefs will select from the restaurant’s best and freshest ingredients to craft a special meal in their Halaal-friendly kitchen without breaking the bank.
