Welcome Chef Roy Park: LILYMU’s New Head Chef Brings a Bold, Pan-Asian Twist

We are excited to announce the appointment of Chef Roy Park as the new Head Chef of LILYMU. Known for his ability to infuse creative flair into traditional Asian dishes, Chef Roy brings with him a wealth of experience. Drawing inspiration from Korean, Japanese, and Thai cuisines, he is sure to elevate LILYMU's already dynamic offering.

Chef Roy's culinary journey began at Le Cordon Bleu, where he honed his craft before taking on leadership roles in some of Sydney’s most renowned dining establishments, including Kuro Bar & Dining, NEL Restaurant, and Banksii Vermouth Bar. Throughout his career, he has become known for his focus on sustainability and high-quality ingredients, earning a reputation for turning every dish into an unforgettable experience.

Under Chef Roy's leadership, we’re unveiling a reimagined menu that’s filled with bold new flavors and vibrant combinations. Expect exciting dishes like Hokkaido scallops with red nahm jim, ginger, and kaffir lime, as well as Kiwami wagyu rump steak with galbi emulsion and sambal. We’ve also introduced cauliflower with almond miso and gochujang, and green curry mussels with tomatoes and flatbread to truly push the boundaries of Pan-Asian cuisine.

Our mission with LILYMU has always been to create a space where culture, hospitality, and traditions collide. With Chef Roy at the helm, we are thrilled to elevate our menu with innovative, mouthwatering dishes that honour the restaurant’s legacy while introducing something entirely new.

Chef Roy himself shares, “I want to showcase the diversity and layers of Asian flavors, offering guests a sensory experience with each dish. My goal is to continue the LILYMU legacy with fresh, sustainable ingredients, modern dishes, and a commitment to experimenting with fragrances and textures that excite the palate.”

Guests can now indulge in LILYMU’s new banquet menu, priced at $78 per person, perfect for group gatherings, or enjoy a more intimate experience in our semi-private dining room. Every dish on our new menu reflects Chef Roy’s commitment to excellence and innovation, ensuring a memorable experience with every bite.

We’re excited for you to join us at LILYMU and experience this exciting new chapter where Asian flavors meet contemporary creativity in the heart of Parramatta Square. To find out more and reserve your table, visit LILYMU's website (https://www.lilymu.com/reservations).
