Gao Asian Fusion

Gao is a contemporary Asian fusion restaurant in Albany, blending traditional flavours from across Asia with modern culinary techniques. The menu draws inspiration from the vibrant streets of Seoul and the bold tastes of the Philippines, creating a dining experience that is both exciting and memorable

Seasonal, flavour-packed starters set the tone at Gao. Highlights include the delicate steak tartare with gochujang emulsion, cured yolk and crisp prawn cracker, alongside tuna kinilaw, a Filipino-inspired ceviche with mango and coconut, served with crunchy lettuce for the perfect bite.

Dumpling lovers are spoiled for choice with fillings ranging from wagyu beef to vegetarian or fish and prawn. The wagyu cheeseburger spring roll wrap, meanwhile, has earned cult status, golden, crispy and irresistibly indulgent. Larger plates are designed for sharing or savouring solo, featuring favourites like the fragrant pad Thai, signature Gao fried chicken, and crispy pork ribs paired with refreshing apple slaw. Each dish bursts with flavour and texture, making it hard to choose just one.

To end on a high note, the twisted doughnut with miso butter and dark chocolate brings a playful balance of sweet and savoury. With its inventive dishes, vibrant atmosphere, and a menu designed for sharing, Gao delivers a dining experience that’s as fun as it is flavourful.
