Our journey began in 2022 in Malaysia with our first restaurant nestled in Bamboo Hills, offering an unparalleled all-you-can-eat experience featuring A5 Wagyu. Our commitment to delivering the freshest, most affordable A5 Wagyu has resonated with diners, paving the way for our expansion.

In 2024, we proudly introduced our second location in the iconic Twin Tower of Kuala Lumpur. Here, guests enjoy a complete culinary journey with a sushi bar, teppanyaki, and yakiniku, all of which have garnered overwhelming praise. Encouraged by this success, we are thrilled to announce our next chapter at Seri Pacific Hotel.

Simply the best meat I have ever eaten, amazing food and service. Yes it’s a bit pricey but it was worth it. We will come back again, highly recommended.

Subiaco

About the restaurant

Within a beautiful Subiaco heritage building, a new neighbourhood wine bar has entered the scene on Hay Street. In the 1920s, the building was home to a provisions merchant owned by husband and wife Emily and Charles Lums. Their shop, EA Lums & Co, was a place for locals to grab quality ingredients from a family-owned shop.

With the appointment of Nick Young as Head Chef, Lums offers a brand new, vino-friendly food offering.

Nick’s resume boasts a wonderful mix of fine dining and funky neighbourhood eateries including Wildflower, Must, Bivouac and Lallah Rookh. With extensive time spent working in rural luxury resorts and Margaret River wineries, Nick brings a passion for fresh, local produce, heirloom varieties, preserving and fermentation.

A fantastic place to enjoy top quality meat and sides, the lava rock experience was amazing and so was the Brussel Sprouts. The wine list was up to our liking and we enjoyed the whole experience, we will be back soon 🍷

Lunch Menu is decent value for money ($22 per dish) when taken into account that it's in the CBD area. I had the Fish and Chips. The fish was not too bad, actually! And they were so generous with the chips, I couldn't quite finish them! Some in my party had the Roma Burger(? sorry can't remember the actual menu name) which they were happy with. Staff were very friendly and attentive, 2 thumbs up. Ambiance of the establishment is good. Fittings etc are all nice. If you're in the city area, it's a good place to have a nice lunch.
