Shui — pronounced “shh-way”, as in feng shui. A restaurant with no limitations, built by two of Perth's own.
Shui is the product of years of dedication, passion and a shared dream between two hospitality veterans. Chef Leigh Power — named WA Chef of the Year at the Restaurant & Catering Awards — has led some of Western Australia's most acclaimed venues, from The Old Synagogue and The Beaufort to Gingerboy and Sweetwater Rooftop Bar.
His business partner, Benny Tua, is equally distinguished, with a background across some of Perth's best-loved bars. For more than seven years the pair opened venues for others. Now, with Shui, they're building something entirely their own — a restaurant with no limitations, where their creativity can flourish and their team can thrive.
Set in the former Funtastico site on Rokeby Road and designed by Rachel Feldhusen, the space welcomes you with a gold cocktail bar trimmed in jade subway tile, neon lighting and origami references. An open kitchen flickers with flame at its heart.
It's one of Subiaco's most energetic nights out — bold food served with a side of harmonious energy.
“We're not just about great food — we're about a vibrant, fun and welcoming atmosphere, where every moment is exceptional for our guests and our team.”
The Shui philosophyThe name says it best. Shuì means 水 — water: fluid, balanced, moving freely between the cuisines of China and South-East Asia. Fresh, ethically sourced, halal-certified, and changed with the seasons to keep the kitchen inspired.
