Low Key Chow House is situated on the main Oxford Street strip in Leederville, and is a sister restaurant of Mount Lawley’s Dainty Dowager. The menu is designed for sharing, a mixture of small, medium and large plates. We had an early booking, which means that we had the table for 2 hours, the downside of table time limits is that the staff tend to rush your order through.

It was a cool Wednesday evening and the place was already alive and kicking at 7pm. Service was prompt and friendly. We were assigned a nice table with a lounge seat against the wall, and immediately given peanuts for nibbles.
The entrees were beef skewers, the pork belly baos and beef sung choi bao. All were small portions. The skewers have an actual burnt grilled taste to it which was great. The buns were a little pricey but looked and tasted great too.
The beef Sung Choi Bao was too simple of a fusion. It was sadly just sauteed minced beef on the back of a piece of lettuce. It lacked colour and presentation. I would've thought it would have been garnished with green spring onions, red chilli, and crushed peanuts like its other cousin dishes. It could've also used some mushrooms for added texture, not just minced beef.
The short beef ribs was probably the highlight dish. Beautifully presented and super soft, with a nice charred taste to it. The kway teow noodles had good flavours, however the baby octopus was way over cooked.
The restaurant had a good amount of lighting and lots of random asian-themed photo frames hung around, which was cool to see.
There are a good number of bar tables and high chairs around with a selection of local beers on the drinks menu. Great for those hot summer days. Service was always with a smile. Thanks for a good night, LKCH!
As an Asian, I’m always a bit sceptical about visiting some “posh” looking Asian places as I’m afraid that the we are paying for the nice venue in exchange of some decent food. However, this place is actually quite good! The chicken wings and squid from the appetisers section were really good and fried rice was seriously good. Laksa was just mehhhh. The prices are a bit on the high side but we used entertainment card, so we didn’t really mind too much.
Had a wonderful dinner! It was Western Derby so there was plenty of seating and service available for our 4top. The Lychee Bomb and Viet Tini were hits and the Mantou Buns were a perfect starter. The server was very good at guiding us through the right amount of food to order For the table. Our table found the red curry with duck to be spicy. I like my spice and thought it was excellent. We devoured Pork Belly Fried Rice and Ginger Noodles .
I recommend LKCH for any occasion.
Came here on a Thursday night. Was worried they might be busy and I didn’t have a booking but there were only 2 or 3 tables when I got there. The dishes were really good, most of them were on the sweet side and I have a huge sweet tooth! My favourites were beef satay and charcoal chicken. Beef satay was slightly chewy but the taste was amazing. Chicken was tender on the inside and slightly burned on the outside and slightly sweet, absolutely delicious! Beef short rib was quite big in portion size, just keep that in mind when you order.
I am normally NOT a fan of gentrified modernised supernormal-type asian food but LKCH is a rare exception to the well-established rule of pompous hipster low-quality fold-in-half handheld bao joints springing up in rich white suburbs.
Despite the high (sometimes astronomical) prices which might make my Singaporean family gawk in disbelief, LKCH is doing a lot of things right. It is modernised hawker food in a classy environment but retains the chaotic streetside fire and flair.
The food is delicious and offers selections from many favourite asian cuisines (thai, indo, chinese, malay, singapore etc) with some thoughtful innovations. Example: the squid which combines multiple very traditional sauces I have never thought to put together but tastes amazing. Reminds me of David Chang's style.
5 star dining experience. Funky, chilled out vibe, casual but cool decor, noisy but not over the top. Great service and the food is to die for. We had the shitake skewers, papaya salad and tom yum shot to start, all were exceptional especially the skewers. For mains we had the duck curry which was good but probably wouldn’t order again and the soft shell crab which was a stand out. Good wine list and overall great night out, will definitely be back.
Tried the honey plum wine and it was really nice :) Couldn’t fault any dish. Had a selection of dishes from the street bites section and the red curry with duck. Hadn’t had a red curry with duck before; only green, but I was impressed how well the flavours worked in this dish. The owner chris was a wonderful host and server. Recommend to all Asian fusion lovers.
Great fusion food, the beef ribs and san choy bau were a favourite. The green duck curry was rich and flavoursome, spiced chicken was slightly dry, green veg were good, but the beef ribs were definitely our favourite. Roughly $170 for 4 people, slightly pricey.
Love coming to LKCH with a group so we can share a selection of their delicious dishes. Have been a few times and have a few favorites dishes, hope the chef will keep the crispy pork belly mantou and charcoal grilled satay in the menu forever
Great dinner meal with a long time good friend.
I must admit we were under dressed after indoor climbing, but the staff let us in and we got to enjoy a good meal.
Portions were not big and the waiter did warn us.
Food was very tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and I would go back. To try more items on the menu.
A decent Fusion place that serves Asian dishes infused with western culture. The chicken, the bao and the dumplings are a must try. If their pricing can be lower I would have given them 5 stars. I felt some of the stuff might be a little overpriced. Nonetheless, a good experience of Fusion food.
Wow wow wow!!!
Walked in and from the moment we got there, the staff were so friendly and helpful.
Food tasted absolutely amazing and the fusion of flavours was perfect.
Absolutely love it!
Food and ambience 10/10. The mantou buns with pork belly goodness is my favourite! Ordered sinigang, a Filipino dish, it was so authentic - made me miss my home country. Will definitely come back here :)
This place does modern versions of various south east Asian dishes very well. Interesting and very tasty, the warehouse vibe is surprisingly comfortable and cozy even on a rainy night.
Amazing food, 100% recommend based on that! Service was pretty average. Wasn’t that busy and both wine and food took ages and was difficult to get any waiter’s attention. Portion sizes are tiny, so definitely order more than you think you’ll need! We all left hungry. Would definitely go back with this in mind, and hope the service was a one off!
Bao was so good, delicious fresh flavours with a decent wine and beer list.
Friendly and professional service and delicious, well-cooked food. We shared the deal for 2: 5 X dishes for $35 per person. Sizes were slightly bigger than we expected for share foods but slightly small for singular main meal so sharing a few was perfect!
Most of all I would highly recommend the squid and the coal charred chicken. Both cooked to perfection and so so tasty!
Even managed to squeeze in dessert .....so glad we did as the Vietnam coffee fudge brownie and peanut butter cup with chocolate ganache were both amazing.
