Mr. Mista is an L.A. inspired cocktail bar & Asian influenced kitchen that caters for people who love an elegant dining experience, but can still party.

The experience is designed to be enjoyed together and bring forward strong feelings of familiarity, like you’ve been here before.Was it that little village where no one spoke english, but you had the most amazing stir fry served on a leaf? Or was it when you went to L.A. and tried Banh Mi for the first time?Whatever it is for you, our food is going to make you feel some type of way. Textures that crunch, aromas to make your mouth water, flavours that make you vocal (argh) & aesthetics you’ll want to share to your story.Did someone say drinks? Our cocktail list will hit you with nostalgia that reminds you of that holiday, where you had a butler, a poolside cabana & an endless supply of fresh coconut

Had the set menu with the matched wines which was delicious. The highlight of the night was the thoughtfulness in the wine selection and some really interesting and diverse flavours. We loved chatting with the sommelier about the wines and he seemed to know his stuff and love his job.

Tried Nonbei for the first time tonight for my belated birthday dinner. Got the $95 Deluxe Buffet and was not disappointed. Now that I’ve done it once and have a better idea of portion sizes and timing, I’ll get better at making the most of our 1.5hr sitting. The sides were good, the meat was excellent. Will do again. Would recommend.
