Burnett Lane, we need to talk… 😮💨🍜🔥
Some nights call for a sensible dinner.
Tonight?
We’re choosing chaos.
A bowl of fried rice loaded with prawns.
Sticky, saucy goodness stealing attention on the right.
And dumplings swimming in all the flavour your week deserves.
Basically… the group chat can wait.
Come get a little spicy with us at Mr Wabi — tucked down Burnett Lane in Brisbane City and serving up dishes too good to share (but we won’t judge if you “accidentally” order one of everything).
📍 Mr Wabi | Burnett Lane, Brisbane City
🍜 Dinner plans = sorted
🔥 Walk in hungry. Leave emotionally attached.

The lighting at Mr Wabi is dangerously flattering.
Like… “I came in for one cocktail and suddenly I’m in love with a stranger and ordering dumplings for the table” flattering. 🔥🥢
A little dark.
A little sexy.
A little “we probably shouldn’t…”
Tucked down Burnett Lane, we keep the lights low, the cocktails high, and the vibes somewhere between date night and this could become a story you tell your friends tomorrow.
Pull up. Stay longer than planned.
Blame the lighting. 🖤
📍 Burnett Lane, Brisbane City
🍸 Cocktails pouring
🥟 Kitchen firing
✨ Main character energy included

POV: you said “just one drink” on Burnett Lane…
Now you’re whispering sweet nothings to a bottle of Hibiki while making eye contact with someone dangerously attractive across the bar. 🥃🔥
Smooth. Smokey. Slightly irresponsible.
Just like your last relationship.
At Mr Wabi we pour Japanese whisky strong enough to heal emotional damage and cocktails sexy enough to make you text “u up?” at 11:43pm.
Dim lights. Loud laughs. Bad decisions with excellent taste.
Come find your new favourite red flag. 🖤🥢

Your ex said “you’ll never find anyone better than me.”
Now look at you…
Late nights at Mr Wabi, dipping crispy spring rolls into sauce like it’s revenge therapy.
Eating delicious Kungpow Chicken that actually text back, and sharing plates with people who don’t drain your emotional battery.
Growth. Healing. Crispy perfection.
Burnett Lane’s hottest rebound is waiting.
And unlike your ex… we do believe in consistency. 🔥🥢

POV: You came to Burnett Lane for “one quick bite”… and now you’re three drinks deep, staring at the neon like it just gave you life advice. ⚡️
Welcome to Mr Wabi — where the lights are low, the vibes are high, and bad decisions somehow taste amazing.
Industrial walls. Neon glow. Tokyo-after-dark energy tucked in a Brisbane laneway.
Honestly, if you haven’t taken a photo under the sign… were you even here?
Pull up. Bring a mate. Pretend you found us before everyone else.

Neon lights. Cold cans. Questionable decisions loading… ⚡️
If the fridge is glowing like this at Mr Wabi, you already know it’s about to be a night.
Pick your fighter:
🔵 Classic
🔴 Red Edition
🟡 Tropical chaos
No judgement. Just vibes, steel, and a little bit of “one more won’t hurt.”
Pull up. Fuel up. Stay dangerous.

You said you were just grabbing “one quick bite”…
Now you’re emotionally attached to a sandwich 😮💨
Our Crispy Chicken Sando isn’t here to play:
🍗 Juicy chicken thigh fillet
🥖 Lightly toasted brioche
🔥 House wasabi mayo (with a kick, obviously)
🥒 Pickles + salad to make you feel balanced
It’s giving “I’ll just have a bite” → finishes the whole thing in silence
Find it down Burnett Lane… follow the cravings.
📍 Mr Wabi — Brisbane City
⏰ We’re open
Tag the mate who says they’re not hungry but eats half yours 👀

Easter plans?
Family lunch ✔️
Chocolate coma ✔️
Avoiding awkward questions ✔️
Now reward yourself properly 😏
We’re open ALL Easter weekend with normal trading hours — because your long weekend deserves better than leftover hot cross buns.
Slide down Burnett Lane, follow the pink glow, and let us handle the important stuff… 🍸🔥

Things are getting a little shaky down at Mr Wabi tonight… 👀🍸
Four glasses.
One pour.
And absolutely zero self-control when it comes to cocktails this good.
Our bartenders are out here doing the Lord’s work — shaking, pouring, and making Burnett Lane a lot more interesting one round at a time.
Come thirsty.
Bring friends.
Stay cheeky.
Because one drink at Mr Wabi usually turns into… well… four.

Soft. Steamy. Stuffed.
Our bao buns are basically what happens when things get hot and a little inappropriate on Burnett Lane.
Pillowy on the outside. Juicy in the middle.
Two hands required. No regrets after.
Warning: may cause excessive moaning at the table and sudden cravings at midnight.
If you’re not getting a little messy, you’re doing it wrong.
Mr Wabi – where things get steamed properly.

Warning: this photo has ruined diets and relationships.
Glossy wok greens.
Fried honey lemon chicken looking illegal.
Sweet, crispy, and dripping with main-character energy. 🍯🥢
If food could flirt… this would be eye contact.
Catch feelings (and dinner) down Burnett Lane.

🧚♀️🔥 The Fairy Godmother Mother 🔥🧚♀️
She doesn’t grant wishes… she shakes them violently.
Smokey. Seductive. A little unhinged.
Shaken with absinth, lychee, mint & apple juice,
then served smoked because subtlety is overrated.
One sip and suddenly it’s midnight,
your morals are gone and you’re ordering another round. 💨🍸

✨ Only at Mr Wabi ✨
Come thirsty. Leave enchanted.

🥃 JAPANESE WHISKEY APPRECIATION POST 🥃
(aka: “Your sign to accidentally end up in Burnett Lane tonight.”)
If you listen closely, you can hear it…
That soft whisper floating down Burnett Lane saying:
“Pssst… come try the Japanese whiskey… you know you want to…” 👀
Yes, that’s us.
And yes, we will judge you if you order it with Coke — but only a little.
Our shelves are stacked with smooth, golden, dangerously charming Japanese whiskies that pair perfectly with:
✨ Good company
✨ Great food
✨ And decisions you may or may not text your group chat about tomorrow..
So swing by, sip something special, and let our whiskey convince you that you’re more sophisticated than you actually are. 😉
Kanpai, Brisbane! 🥂🇯🇵

Come let Mr Wabi whisper sweet, pork-flavoured nothings into your ear tonight.
Because honestly… you deserve to be treated crispy. 😌✨

They say you should never text your ex… but we say you should drink about it 🍏✨
Meet our OG creation — a mix of cloudy apple juice, absinthe, lychee, and mint that’s as complicated (and intoxicating) as your last relationship.
Sweet, mysterious, and guaranteed to leave you questioning your life choices — but in the best way possible 😉
Come find closure at Mr Wabi, where every sip’s a new beginning. 💚

🍓 Sweet. Sour. Saucy. Sexy. 🍓
At Mr Wabi, we don’t mess around when it comes to flavour — our Sweet & Sour Pork isn’t your average takeaway classic. We’ve levelled it up with real strawberries 🍓 (yep, actual fruit, not the pink mystery syrup from 1997).
So if you’re wandering down Burnett Lane wondering what that heavenly smell is... it’s us. Follow your nose (and your heart) straight to Mr Wabi, Brisbane’s home of bold bites, cheeky cocktails, and unapologetic flavour.
🥢 Come for the pork. Stay for the vibes. Leave with a strawberry-scented memory you’ll never forget.

My ex said I’d never find something that made me as happy as they did…
Well guess what? I met bao buns.
Soft, warm, a little steamy, and never ghosts me after a great night.
Plus, these buns don’t come with emotional baggage—just Kimchi sauce and happiness. 😌💔➡️😍
Pull up for the vibes, stay for the good times, and leave your ex in the group chat.
