With a menu designed to push past tradition while still honouring the flavours people love, the restaurant has become a genuine community favourite.

Head chef and co-owner Chef Batt brings extensive experience to the kitchen, having trained at Bangkok’s Michelin-starred Le Du and worked at Brisbane restaurants Pawpaw and Longtime. This experience informs the bold flavours found in the restaurant’s contemporary Asian dishes.

The menu is designed to be inclusive. Oh Monk offers several gluten-free and vegan options, and the kitchen has a dedicated gluten-free fryer to cater for coeliac diners. Guests can enjoy a variety of small plates and larger dishes, with highlights including popcorn cauliflower, slow-cooked curries such as Massaman and Panang, Peking duck pancakes, and slow-cooked beef ribs.

Diners and reviewers have praised both the food and service. Feedback mentions warm, attentive staff, as well as dishes described as fresh, flavourful, and balanced, with standout items including the Beijing roast duck, Massaman Beef Curry, and chocolate dessert. Takeaway options are also available for those who prefer to enjoy Oh Monk at home.
