About Little Gan's

Little Gan’s turns a suburban strip into destination dining with handmade pastas and bold Asian accents. Occupying the former FooWah space in Willetton, the 20-seat dining room skips city pretension for close-up hospitality. Front-of-house anchor Auntie Jocelyn greets diners like family, while patrons along the kitchen counter watch the pans fly. Plates move fast—charred Fremantle octopus with romesco, sticky glazed lamb ribs, and house-made macadamia anolini. Regulars swear by the squid ink linguine tossed with fresh seafood before capping things off with scorched Basque cheesecake.

  • Handmade Pastas & Asian Notes: Chef Richard Gan shapes handmade pastas in-house, pairing European staples like anolini and squid ink linguine with bold Asian touches.
  • Open Kitchen Counter: A 20-seat room where counter diners watch every dish come together over the open pass.
  • Family-Run Hospitality: Chef's mum Auntie Jocelyn runs the front of house with warm, personal hospitality from the room's former FooWah days.
