Mr Chau & his gargantuan gaggle of foodie friends just LOVE FOOD.
And after extensive travel & existential eating around Asia, we have brought the mostest & the bestest & the deepest flavours back home to you.

Why is Mr Chau called Chunky Chau? Because Mr Chau is not 'fat'.

‘Chunky’, on the other hand, can be used to refer to someone who is short and muscular. Being short and broad shouldered, he looks heavy. Unlike ‘fat’, ‘chunky’ does not have a negative connotation. In fact, according to some books on usage, native speakers sometimes use the word to indicate affection.

    Thank you for a lovely Sunday afternoon experience. We loved the pot stickers and the sushi. The tea infused cocktails was a real treat. Great service from Sam and Semuthemba. Thank you.

    Every single thing, from start to finish, was so exceptionally special and well curated. I cannot possibly give ChunkyChau Sandton a high enough recommendation

    My friend and I ordered the Chau's Nostalgic Barbie Bubblegum cocktail and the 3x3 sushi and it was delicious. The cocktail was rimmed with honey and sprinkles, but my friend is allergic to honey, so I informed the staff and the were extremely understanding and accommodating and remade hers. The sushi was divine as per usual, and my favourites were the tempura prawn california rolls and the salmon roses. Our server was very kind, helpful and accommodating and I am glad that I was able to take my friend to her first dining experience at Chunky Chau.

    good was excellent, the service was a little slow but that is probably on account of the multiple dishes. everything was ver fresh and flavourful, i thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. it’s a shame that we couldn’t take the food that we didn’t finish from our last round, if i’d change anything it would be that. Overall stunning experience, would definitely visit again

    The service was top tier. The buffet was definitely worth the money. The aesthetic was an entire vibe on its own.
