Zero Fox

Zero Fox is a Japanese and Korean fusion kitchen and bar at 36 Vernon Terrace in Teneriffe, beside the waterfront and inside the historic London Woolstores. Come for sushi, bao and shareable plates, then stay for Australian craft beer, wine or a cocktail. The menu includes meat-free choices such as mushroom and sweet potato bao and vegan bibimbap, plus non-alcoholic drinks. Seating includes an outdoor area where dogs are welcome. Limited seating can mean a wait at busy times, so consider going outside peak hours.

A kitchen inside the London Woolstores

Zero Fox is at 36 Vernon Terrace in Teneriffe, within Brisbane’s historic London Woolstores. The Japanese and Korean kitchen combines dishes from both cuisines, with Australian beer, wine and spirits on the drinks list.

The menu ranges from ramen, karaage chicken and katsudon to Korean-influenced choices such as kimchi fries and vegan bibimbap. Sushi rolls are another focus. The spicy salmon roll combines torched marinated salmon with surimi, avocado and cucumber; the spider roll comes with soft-shell crab.

Small plates, takeaway and outdoor seating

Bao, dumplings, sushi and other small bites suit a meal shared across the table. Meat-free choices include mushroom and sweet potato bao, ssam perilla leaf wraps and pan-fried vegan gyozas with pandan. Non-alcoholic drinks are available alongside the bar’s beer, wine and cocktails.

You can order the food to take away, or settle in at the outdoor seating area. Dogs are welcome there, making it a handy stop during a walk along the Teneriffe waterfront. The beer taps rotate, so the selection changes. Seating is limited, and booking ahead is recommended if you want a table.
