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.
