How We Started

Asian StrEAT began with a vision—to bring the bold flavours of Southeast Asia to the local community. Originally Ongki Bowl, the restaurant was rebranded in February 2023 by Norvin Acabo, who was sponsored to work in Australia in 2015. With years of global experience, he transformed the menu to focus on modern Asian flavours inspired by Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.
