Mista Boo Japanese Tapas Bar

MISTA BOO IN BULIMBA HAS CLOSED.

Mista Boo in Bulimba is a sleek and sophisticated, moodily-lit, intimate Japanese tapas bar delivering a distinct fusion of Japanese flavours and tapas-style dining.

Located on Oxford Street in the heart of Bulimba, the small, ambient eatery features cosy bench seating along one wall, with dainty table lamps that emit a warm glow, while a hint of captivating drama is added by pink neon. The restaurant also boasts a sushi bar where you can enjoy fresh sushi and sashimi, and freshly shucked oysters served with lemon and yuzu mignonette.

Tapas bar diners can start with Mista Boo's signature one-bite dishes - crispy nori chip canapes topped with salmon tartare, spicy prawn or house-smoked fish, and baby gem lettuce cups filled with spicy tuna, pulled pork belly, or a trio of mushrooms (shitake, shimeji and oyster).

The tantalising tapas menu features a range of Japanese fare, from edamame and lotus chips (with guacamole) to yakitori skewers and Mista Boo's Blackpink bao filled with pulled pork, cabbage, cucumber and dragonfruit puree.

In addition, there are a couple of salads to choose from including a Winter salad with snow peas, enoki mushrooms, kanikama, nori and sesame dressing, and Soba salad - soba noodles, cabbage, carrot, pomegrante, edamame, and quinoa.  

Meanwhile, standouts on the menu are Fried Oysters (crumbed oysters served with yuzu tartar), Tasmanian black mussels served with garlic bread and miso butter, and mouthwatering 18-hour sous-vide cooked pork belly served with seasonal grilled vegetables. 

And for dessert, try Mista Boo's matcha panna cotta with berry couli and red bean paste.

Mista Boo is perfect for date night, a special occasion, or just getting together with friends for a night out of great food  and drinks. The restaurant has a handpicked selection of fine wines and an in-house sommelier who can help you choose a wine to complement your meal.

Mista Boo is fully licensed. As well as a carefully curated wine list, there's Asahi beer on tap, Kirin beer bottled, mocktails and cocktails including classics like Mimosa, Mojito and Moscow Mule, plus Asian-inspired sips such as Cherry Blossom and June Bug (pineapple, Midori, Malibu rum and soda).

Nice to know: Mista Boo in Bulimba is a sibling for Mista Boo Izakaya at Eight Mile Plains and Mista Boo Drive-Thru - Brisbane's first drive-thru sushi restaurant.
