Review Low Key Chow House - Leederville

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.

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.

Went for dinner the other night. Happened to be a quiet night with plenty of available tables, however the waiter was rude and constantly asking if we were ready to order and would return every 2 minutes, tapping his feet if we said we weren’t ready. 5 minutes into the food, while we’re still eating the same waiter approached and asked to take our plates in which we stated we were still eating, in which he responded ‘well the food will be cold now, it doesn’t taste good cold, so which plates should I take?’. Once we decided to leave another waiter took our payments. The bill was $46 each, I paid cash and handed the waiter a $50 note and $1 coin (to recieve a $5 note in change), in which I got rudely got told ‘well that’s not helpful at all’. Appalling staff behaviour.

Ordered a handful of dishes including satay sticks, pork belly bao buns, chicken wings and beef rendang. Chicken wings and satay were really nice but unfortunately the bao buns didn't have enough sauce and the pork belly was dry. The rendang was also pretty good except maybe we had a cheaper cut as It was really chewy. Really nice setting/vibe and good service.

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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>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.<br/>The restaurant had a good amount of lighting and lots of random asian-themed photo frames hung around, which was cool to see.<br/>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 .<br/>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. <br/>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. <br/>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.

Food quality is fair. Laksa served in big pot enough for 2-3 people. Fried Kway Teow was ok with nice char-iness flavour as you expect in this dish. The pork belly bao was delicious. Staffs were friendly and attentive. However, food took too long to arrive and price of the meal was atrocious. Definitely able to find better quality with heaps cheaper price tag than this place. Will not be back.

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.

Came in for dinner the other night with a friend. The food was just way too salty. I ordered stir fry and the fried rice. The fried rice came out okay. The waiter kept on wanting to clear our table when we were not finished.

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.

Food was quite expensive but verrrrry tasty! It was very hard to catch any of the wait staffs attention to order and they forgot one of our orders. We also were told 3 times that our booking was only for 2 hours which seemed excessive as we took our time ordering and were still out before the next booking.

I went to this restaurant on my colleagues recommendation. In general a decent place. Ambience was fine and the service was good. We ordered the set menu in which the chef decides the menu. It was $58 per person. Food was decent. I am vegetarian and there were plenty of vegetarian options. There was only one dessert and that too not enough. I did not find $58 worth for the amount of food we got. My colleagues were quite happy with the non vegetarian food. I would recommend this restaurant but suggest not to go for the chef recommended menu.

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

Our basic orders were messed up over and over in one sitting, with delays and also incorrect food delivered. There were only two of us so I expected better. The food is not too bad, but definitely not the standard I expected from such a popular eatery.

This place is very average. Had the pork baos - dry and overcooked. Satay sticks were tasty but $9 for 2 small sticks is a bit rich. Char siu was very bland, rubbery and lacked presentation. If you’re used to eating this in a good Chinese restaurant, don’t have it here - it’s nowhere near the standard you’d expect. The steamed fish - overcooked and tasteless. The chef really needs to check seasoning. Finally, the fried rice. This was way too salty. Sorry guys but this place is average at best. The look of the restaurant is good and the service was friendly. Apparently they don’t take Amex but there’s signage on the Eftpos terminal that indicates they do?

Excellent food and caters for lots of food allergies and needs. Down sides are rude and over familiar staff plus very noisy venue. <br/><br/>Recommend if you can maintain boundaries with over familiar wait staff

Have been a couple of times in the past, food and service was great. Tried to take friends there tonight and it was a different story. Staff were extremely rude with very poor customer service and general manors!

Had a wonderful dinner here with 5 girlfriends. We had the 'feed me' menu where the chef chooses your dishes. The meals were amazing and plentiful - we couldn't finish the mains or dessert! We had the fried squid, San Chou Bow, wings, pork belly steamed buns and crispy dumplings for entree. Mains were green duck curry, beef with kimchi, soft shell crab and papaya salad. Dessert was fried icecream spring rolls with salted caramel sauce. Service and food was fantastic. Will definitely be back.

The service here was great - the staff were super friendly, the food came out quickly and they have the best Bao I've had in Perth! Would definitely recommend!

Visited tonight with my hubby. Arrived to find the place packed for our 7:30 booking. The service was very good from the get go, friendly and the guy provided some suggestions on what to order. We started with the salt and pepper squid with sausage crumb. This was amazing! The squid was ever so slightly chewy yet soft at the same time, there was a delicious sauce drizzled on top with lovely fresh herbs. We followed this with the adobo chicken which was unlike nothing we had eve tried before. It was an extremely dark rich sauce of garlic and peppercorns and tasted like a very rich soy/vinegar sauce and was very tasty. We also had the char sui pork. This was the best dish of the night! Absolutely delicious with a true charcoal and sweet flavour and the pork was so tender and juicy. We then finished with a Japanese matcha cheesecake and a rice pudding. The rice pudding was sensational and not too sweet whilst the cheesecake was light and fluffy, a little too much matcha powder on top but very nice. I absolutely recommend this place! The reason I didn't give 5 was because the pork needed a little more sauce and the rice serve was too small. Definitely try this place!!!!

Great atmosphere sitting outside and people watching. Food was delicious but the service we received from our waitress Ela was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

Trendy establishment on The Oxford street strip with good ambience and helpful efficient staff. This makes for an enjoyable meal out. Based on share plates, the food here is simply delicious. Most impressed by their Wok fried seasonal vegetables.

The venue is Modern suiting its location. The menu is simple and suits shared meals with friends, as well as individual meals. <br/>The pork buns are off the chain as well as the seasonal vegetables, I would also recommend trying the octopus noodle dish.<br/>They need to really teach the bar staff to make Vietnamese coffee though, it wasn't ordered simply since the waiter had no idea what it was..

Pass. There are so many nice places in leederville, this isn't really at the top. <br/>The food is fine but there are so many delicious modern Asian places in Perth, especially northbridge, and this place is SO much more expensive for so much less food

The baby octopus Char Kuey Teow is so good!! It taste so authentic exactly like how it is taste in Malaysia! I personally think its the best in Perth. And the Satays so gooood as well :) will come back for the next season menu! 💗

Came here for a casual mid week dinner for two. <br/>Highlights: good atmosphere, friendly service, delicious kway teo noodles and Gai lan dishes.<br/>Lowlights: food was rather inconsistent and a bit hit and miss - for example the san choi Bao quite disappointing (literally consisted of salty mince beef on small pieces of cut cos lettuce), dumplings of the day were dry and tasteless, but the satay chicken entree was quite nice. Dessert was fried ice cream parcels with salted caramel which was light and tasty. Perhaps if we had tried some other dishes on the menu we may have been a bit more impressed.

After an early evening show of Cirque du Soleil's Kooza, and the expected traffic delays in getting out of the parking situation, we were starting to feel edgy and 'hangry', so it was decided to head for somewhere not too far away, where we would have a choice of places to eat at. After deciding on Leederville as the destination, I found Low Key Chow House near the top of the reviews by rating, so aimed for there. <br/>Arriving just before 8:00pm, without a booking, it was no surprise that we were politely informed that there would be a 15 minute wait, so details were exchanged, and a brief but enjoyable walk around the bustling food and drink outlets was fun after sitting down for 2 hours at the show. <br/>As we returned to the restaurant, there was space at the bar, so we sat and ordered a couple Soukai Asahi beers. It gave us a chance to check out the menu, and take in the bustling vibe of one the busier Leederville cool eating houses. <br/>Semi-exposed, plastered brick walks, funky lighting and Asian themed photo art gives the place a warm and stimulating ambience. <br/>Service from the young Asian host, and friendly barman was efficient, yet personal, and it wasn't long before we were being led to our table for the night. <br/>As usual, deciding to share plates, we ordered the dumplings of the day, buffalo wings with spicy Asian sauce, prawn and pineapple stir fried rice, and hoisin roasted pork. Each dish was full of great flavours and nicely presented. <br/>Another round of beers finished off a great meal and at $114 for two, I think it was good value.

Trendy and chilled atmosphere and fab food. Delicious mix of fresh ingredients. Mantou buns and spring rolls left you wanting more. Great spot for a low key catch up. Pardon the pun.

Best mantou buns in Perth. Well done guys!! Service was really good. Music was a bit depressing but will definitely go back for the buns. 😊😊😊

Wow! Great food, great service and great atmosphere!! Am I still in Perth? Believe it! The menu packed with flavoursome selections, though it can be pricey. Figure about $50-60 pp on average. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is bustling and yes it's noisy in there but it adds to the feeling of being in downtown Bangkok. A small suggestion to the cooks, your meals are great but perhaps less sugar would be best. Lots of the dishes are very sweet. Perhaps too much sometimes. Treat yourself to one of the wonderful cocktails. Been there twice, both for the $58pp chefs choice and the à la carte menu. Both are great. Perhaps a bit light on vegetarian selection and if you are lactose intolerant, give dessert a miss. Otherwise dig in the food is great. As a said before, the place is lively and noisy. Not the place for a romantic quiet dinner for two but great with a bunch of friends.

What's better than an overabundance of Chinese food on Chinese New Year? Eating it with your best buddies of course! My final meal of the Chinese New year weekend was spent at Low Key Chow House. When we decided to catch up on this date, we didn't even realise it was going to be over the CNY weekend, so we thought this was very fitting.

Nice friendly atmosphere. Didn't have to wait long for meals and the food was very tasty. Recommend the pork buns for entree. Would definitely eat there again👌

We went for an early dinner before a movie at Luna, so arrived at just after 5:30 and were seated quickly. The waitstaff were attentive, practical and friendly. We ordered a couple of glasses of white wine, the Pinot Grigio and the Chardonnay, both of which were pleasant - pleased to see a good range of wines available by the glass.<br/>We ordered the sang choy bao and mantou buns to start. We were happy with the flavours and presentation of both dishes, although they could have been a bit more generous with the size of the lettuce leaves in the sang choy bao - the small size made them a bit difficult to eat. Both dishes had lots of fresh red chillies - those who don't like hot food be warned! It was just on the top though, so easy enough to pick out or request without. <br/>For mains, we had the pineapple fried rice - really nice and charred and all the better for using fresh pineapple, the silken tofu with shiitake mushrooms and spices - very deep soy flavours and quite peppery, and the tea smoked duck - generous serving of sliced duck on a creamy curry sauce with oyster mushrooms and bamboo shoots.<br/>We were absolutely stuffed afterwards - no need for popcorn or snacks! <br/>The bill came to just under $100 after Entertainment Book discount - pretty good in Perth for five dishes and two wines.

Good Asian food, friendly low key atmosphere, lots of good drinks and good place for a casual get together with friends. I will be coming back.

A few weeks ago, a few foodies and I were invited to a Low Key Chow House tasting event. I have heard so much about Low Key Chow House and was excited to attend the tasting event. Located in the heart of Leederville, Low Key specialises in Asian fusion food. We started off with the Charred corn cob with Low Key’s 9 spice rub, sweet soy and butter ($4 each). The corn is packed full of flavour from the 9 spice rub and it was sweet and buttery in texture. I always love a buttery corn cob but with the addition of the 9 spice rub, my tastebuds were taken to a next level.

Low Key - Not Low Prices !!!<br/>Friday drop in meal after a long week at work - was looking forward to a relaxing glass or wine and dinner with my other half. What we proceeded to get was anything but. Firstly, we order, simple and easy of the 'street eat' menu - San Choy Bow came out BEFORE our drinks (so much for that relaxing wine!!) this dish was grainy, cold and the meat slightly dry. So much so that we thought it may have been made for another table and dropped on us by mistake. This was then followed by the Mantou Buns - these are always a favourite (however considering the calibre of Bao Buns showing up in Perth these have become run of the mill) then.... then..... the satay. TWO tiny satay sticks for $8 - TWO. At this, I was enraged. Two wines, after the average food - then TWO sticks for $8 !<br/>That was it for us.<br/><br/>We are Leederville locals and will not be back.<br/>It was quiet possibly the worst meal I have had and will not be back .

Came here for dinner one night to give it a try. Overall was a good eat. Started off with the beef jerky which is served hot and is tastey. The baos and the pork belly was very tastey. For the main we ordered the baby occy which was nice aswell. Would recommend if in leedy looking for a bite to eat somewhere casual

Had dinner , we had the food odyssey $58 pp, which is basically a banquet. Food was to die for! What a taste sensation. Entrees were mince in lettuce/ chicken kebabs/warm soup shots with prawns/ sort of pork bun wrap with pork belly. Mains were rice/bbq beef/fish/chicken curry/salad. Fish is in pic!Dessert was fried ice cream. It is tapas so sharing. We had 2 bottles of wine and 2 glasses prosecco and the bill for 4 was $352. It is quality and the service was impeccable. It is busy and there was a timeframe- we booked 630 and had to leave 830. Would go again. Highly recommended.

Had a memorably good meal here. From the pork "jerky" starters to the pork patties and some of the best dumplings I've had in Perth. Only one note - if you're going to put chopped up mushroom and prawn in the bottom of a magnificent tom yum shooter, then make sure the spoon included reaches the bottom of the shot glass. Looking forward to heading back, that's about the highest praise I can give.

I've been here on my own, in a group (having the fabulous 'feed me' menu) and for a quick lunch snack with small dishes. <br/>Every time service has been good, helping to create the enjoyable ambience.

I was surprised by Low Key Chow House. I was expecting it to disappoint me with fusion dishes overly pandering to non-authentic tastes in an over priced setting. However, I really liked the ambiance using low lighting, a change to the usual bright lights in Asian restaurants and how attentive the service was without being overbearing or rude. <br/><br/>There were eight of us there so we got to try a lot of the dishes of which I only managed to take a photo of the mantou buns before my phone died. We were recommended to try the $58 per head menu but decided to opt for our own choice of dishes. We had crispy pork mantou baos, wok fried seasonal vegetables with wood ear mushrooms, silken tofu, spring rolls and fried rice and xo pork and a couple of the chicken dishes. I enjoyed all of the dishes, especially the fried rice as they all had an authentic flavour, if a little salty, however I did feel that the crispy pork in the mantou baos was a little overcooked as though the pork was crispy it was on the tougher side.

Great service and they made sure they knew all about the food they served along with the wines. <br/>The entrees were the best part of the menu and absolutely delicious!!! Next time I'm coming here, I'll stick to sharing a whole load of entrees. The buns are a MUST!

Dinner here tonight as a group of 4 was awesome. We did the "feed me" menu at $58 per head. Man, you get very good value for that price!!<br/>We had the pork buns, shooters, salad, satay skewers, san choy bau, chicken, red curry, fish and fried ice cream for dessert. There was so much food! All the flavours were fantastic and worked beautifully together. <br/>Service was quick, consistent and friendly. Would definitely return to try more!!!!

Two of us visited LKCH on a Thursday night.  It was packed but the friendly staff found us a table for two and we settled in to survey the menu.  As we did so, our waitress poured water and provided a cute little bowl of peanuts and salted fish.  It wasn't authentic but tasty anyway.The menu is pretty much standard Asian fusion, reminiscent of Chapas, Miss Potz and it's sister-restaurant The Dainty Dowager, all in Mount Lawley.We ordered the beef satays and the Pok-Pok (?) chicken for starters.  The satays were small but the smell was divine - I was almost back in Seminyak!  However, the meat was a little tough and the peanut sauce was just average and not plentiful.  The chicken was nice.  There were several thighs each in our serving and the sauce was tangy but not overly spicy.  In fact, it put me in mind of classic Boston Wings rather than an Asian dish!For mains we had the skirt steak in red curry, which was boosted by some massive chunks of egg-plant and we had their version of a Green papaya salad.  It was pleasant but not overly memorable.  A small bowl of steamed rice accompanied the dishes.All up, it was $116 for 2 but when you factor in the bottle of wine that cost $46 on it's own, I guess the food was quite good value.  The decor is great, the service very attentive and the atmosphere is happy.  Worth a visit but I probably will not rush back.

It was delicious! We had the set menu and they were so good in catering for the vegetarian at the table. The pork buns were amazing. Will definitely be back for them!

I had been meaning to try LKCH for a while and it was worth the wait. The food was delicious! Great decor and table settings too. My only gripes - round tables for two are too small and the wait staff needed more experience or training. Will be back for sure.

Went with a group of people and did the food safari banquet. Great way to taste lots of dishes and it's fairly good value. The pork buns are yum so too was the lychee cocktail. This place is good for groups.

Great to see some variety in Leederville! I enjoy Low Key Chow House. Their service is good and food is tasty! Their signature cocktails are great too.

A fusion Asian restaurant with mostly Malaysian influence. The dishes are good on the sweet side. The char Kway teow is served with baby octopus. You get complimentary small plate of Ikan Bilies (fried anchovies) and nuts which is a Malaysian thing. It's designed for sharing dishes and there is a $58 cuisine explorer for over 4 people. San chow Bao isn't real San chow Bao if it's served with beef, it's small but quite tasty. Don't bother getting the Asian buffalo wings nothing special here. It's got a cocktail bar called Mr Chow's dive bar.

The most delicious food!! friendly staff, meals came out very quick and the styling and decor is perfect. The restaurant is not too loud to hold a conversation but loud enough to make you feel comfortable in that you don't need to whisper.

Hubby and I weren't too hungry so we just ordered one entree and one main to share. Entree was Mantou steamed pork buns- delicious, the candied pork was melt in the mouth and the bun was light and fluffy. The main was red curry which had a smokey flavor that really made it stand out. The eggplant and beef inside completed each other perfectly. Cannot wait to come back and try more of their menu!

Second visit last night and slightly disappointed. First time I went with two friends and we ordered three dishes and two were lovely, one not so. Last night I was with my partner and we ordered the mantou buns which were delicious! But our main courses were hit and miss...the soft shell crab was pretty ordinary. It was like a deep fried crab with bottled chilli sauce poured over it. Not very nice...not a veg in sight either. So all in all given it was quite a pricey meal we wouldn't rate it very highly based on our last meal there. Also, small portions for the price...expect to pay at least $40 a head for the food alone.<br/>

Nice Asian Fusion place in Leederville. Great options and great range of meats and flavours. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Quite popular this place.

Wouldn't race back.  Entrees (san choi bau and mantou buns) were delicious but the mains (soft shell crab and beef spare ribs) were underwhelming and overpriced.  $33 for beef that was cold and chewy??!  Service was ok although they were super quick to ask for our order yet getting hold of the bill took ages.  And by the end of the night we were over the noise level.  If we went back, we'd order a series of entrees instead of mains, but there are too many other places to try in the meantime.  This just strikes me as one of those places people go to be seen and I'd rather go somewhere to get decent food.

Nice atmosphere in a good location. The dishes were huge in proportion but lacked in flavour and taste. The costing was decent. Wouldn't rush back.

So disappointing.  After reading all of the fantastic reviews, I was SO excited to try this restaurant - however I left feeling extremely unsatisfied.  The Bao were good, but the ribs, dumplings & chicken wings were well below average.  The atmosphere in the restaurant was busy but extremely loud, and a little pricey for what we received.  The wine however, beautiful! Perhaps the other dishes are better and this is why the reviews are so high, but for us - not so good! :)

Been here.. <br/>Had this 🍸- gin haze, coffee martini, lychee tipple <br/>Ate that > 🐷belly buns, 🐓🌶️buffalo wings, 🍝<br/>Service was 👍<br/>Cost - not too pricey <br/>May come back for more.. <br/>

We came for an early dinner and although the food was delicious and tasty the service was extremely slow which is why they had lost a point

I wouldn't bother coming back to this restaurant. My pocket felt lighter and lucky for grilled down the road. The cost was $186 for four people and we all left hungry. Three prawns 28 bucks and they classed this as a main, a bit of sauce and <br/>no rice. <br/>I wonder how long this will stay open for at prices and quantity. <br/><br/><br/>

BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR & GORGEOUS ATMOSPHERE... Great Place for Catch ups or Light Dinners... The Presentation was amazing & Great Service! 😊 I have been there a few times & I love there PORK BELLY BAO's & other specialty dishes such as there PRIAO WAN FISH & CRISPY DUMPLINGS... 😊 Missy_K

Absolutely faultless food! Had the beef satay and chicken dumplings entrees shared the Char Siu pork main with a serve of rice and the fried ice-cream for dessert! Great flavours shared all the dishes between two and absolutely stuffed will be back for sure, props to the chefs!

The bao is their delicious must try dish! All other dishes embodied the Asian flavours of their origin really nicely. Tapas food so not huge servings so don't bring your Asian parents here but great for a night out.

Love this place. Great mix of Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Food is fresh, vibrant and packed with flavour. Great place to take paleo, health conscious people as their a lot of carb free items here. The satay here is not to be missed here, the homemade peanut sauce is delicious. The duck was also delicious and crispy

Move over neighborhood Chinese beef and black bean, this is a new Asian food for Caucasians, wrapped up in a hip (overpriced) little package! A generic Asian vibe (mahjong tile artwork, steamer baskets, paper cranes, Thai posters), paired with watered down (pretty bland) versions of favorites like gua bao and cha siu made for a somewhat underwhelming evening for me. If you've not experienced the real thing you'll probably love it, as my dining companions did, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Heard so much hype about this place and noted they are generally busy, so decided to try out the place. Interesting decor and menu. Visited early last Friday for dinner. Hardly anyone in the restaurant but was asked to keep to small corner of a shared table. Understand that they can get busy, but the better etiquette would be to ask us to move over WHEN it gets busy, or to simply to mention that the table is intended to be shared and that we maybe asked to move over if it gets busy. Most people would not mind this polite request.<br/><br/>Tried the dumpling of the day - was a chicken gyoza. Expected something "wow", but got ones synonymous with any decent take-aways in Perth, but more expensive. Then tried the Adobo - supposed to be a Filipino dish, but the description had "nuoc cham", which is Vietnamese (maybe intended to have a Vietnamese twist?), again expecting the "wow" factor for the price tag, but it too failed to live up to expectations. The meat was tender, but the depth of flavours were totally lacking. Perhaps the too liberal use of micro herbs on most things could be cut back so the prices could be matched to the calibre of the food being served. Overall, good place to go for evening out if you need visual stimuli and crowd watching. But if you want good authentic Asian food that hits the spot, this is not your venue.

Absolutely one of the best places I've ever eaten. <br/>The most incredible food<br/>Amazing pork belly buns <br/>Everything was fresh and huge sized too. I left feeling very very full. Would recommend to anyone

Small portions for price; dumplings dry. Beef fatty and over done. Nice refreshing green papaya salad. <br/>$120 for two people: 2 entree, 1 main + 1 bottle of wine! But was still hungry after, not a good sign. <br/>After the recommendations to try this place, was very disappointed - there was no stand out. <br/>Lots of other options reasonably priced for this type of food. <br/>

Came here in a group of 6 and all agreed the food was pretty dam good. Highly recommend the pork char sui and the beef rib. Prices are not too bad, and the servings sizes are perfectly portioned. Service was also very good. The only downside was that the pork belly in the pork bun was a tad dry.

Asian fine dining probably sums up this place. I found the service refreshing. The people know what they are doing and care how you feel about the food and surrounds. I am not a dancer or a chef but I felt the flavours here have been choreographed and rehearsed. Not a complaint from me to be had. I would recommend a group of at least 4 to sample more dishes.

By far one of my favourites!!! Great service! Lovely atmosphere! A real gem in Leederville!! Food is so on point!!! You may need the waiter to explain the menu as it can be a little confusing! Great large round table for groups, and also lovely for date nights! We return here again and again and are never disappointed

Been meaning to try here for so long and finally made it. Had a wonderful friendly waiter who promptly placed down some sugared peanuts with fried anchovies and tap water. We ordered the fish sashimi which was deliciously refreshing. The prawn curry was tasty but only 3 prawns for $30 something dollars?!? The adobo spare ribs weren't really peppery and had too much vinegar for my liking. The meat could also have been more tender but the serving size was decent. The plain white rice was also slightly gluggy. Nice venue and service but this is definitely a 'trendy' expensive Asian restaurant, would rather go for Thai or head into northbridge next time I'm wanting similar Asian food. Ticked off the list but probably won't be rushing back.

What a great casual dining place walk in tables which is great as we are not great planners. Food was really tasty and the service attentive and fast. Definitely will come back here with a big group<br/>

Great ambience and service but the food all too sweet or so so for my liking...<br/>Orders the dumpling of the day which was chicken and water chestnut... Taste good but was burnt... The sauce inside the Mantou bun was too sweet and bun was soggy... The pork ribs was not tender enough and had to eat it like a caveman... Again too sweet... And rice was both dry and soggy at the bottom... Almost there Low Key but sorry no likey...

Last weekend we finally managed to have dinner at Low Key Chow House (LKCH) after we cancelled two of our previous bookings. We really liked the mah-jong tiles that LKCH put for their 'open' sign and the giant tiles that they put on top of their bar. Just like the logo, LKCH has the yellow and black colour scheme that flows really well all throughout their restaurant.<br/><br/>To start, we ordered a really refreshing and sour Chow's Margarita as well as LKCH Lychee Tipple which Hubby really liked. I think if I let him, he will definitely order another one.<br/><br/>BO PATTY<br/>This dish was recommended by Owen Chua, one of the owners of LKCH. Owen explained that this dish was based on his mother in law's recipe and this time of the year is the perfect time to get the betel leaf. The lemongrass beef patty was tender and fresh. Rather than dipping the whole dish into the nuoc cham sauce, I recommend to r to drop some sauce on top of the dish and fold the betel leaf.<br/><br/>DUMPLING OF THE DAY<br/>The dumpling of the day was chicken and mushroom dumplings which was cooked very well. The dumpling skin had enough thickness and retained the filling very well.

Disappointed! Maybe just not for me. I have been meaning to come here for ages. I found the mantou buns strange, the pork inside was so crusty and I couldn't get any flavours out of it, hard to describe... The dumplings and octopus something was greasy. Forgot to take a pic of the prawn yellow curry. The flavour in that was good but after peeling the 4 prawn skewers there wasn't really much prawn left! Fantastic ambience and service and AC however I personally won't be back. I'm sure it's just me!

Would thoroughly recommend the set menu designed for 4+ (wish they would make something similar for 2). <br/><br/>Really impressed by the food on first visit and quite a nice drinks selection, outstanding wine list, plenty of available styles to compliment the great dishes produced on the day. <br/><br/>Clean driven flavours that worked well with each other. Pork coriander and cucumbers buns here are my life. <br/><br/>High pricing but service and food always hit the mark. Never left disappointed.

"Asian" (ie Korean, Thai, Taiwanese, Malaysian etc) restaurant that merges seemlessly with the general Leedy vibe. The smokey flavours are actually very well done on the meats - pork belly was very fragrant. The mantou could do with more in it. It's quite expensive when you look at this as "Asian food", but if you think of it as hipster tapas dining (eg duende, old crow), then the cost is fairly Perth standard. 4 entrees and two mains was just sufficient for 4 people.

Good size for the portion but a bit pricey. Love the Lychee cocktail. Very tasty food with right ingredients. Good service and friendly staff. It's a place you really need to come and eat at least once.

Walked in was very crowded got a nice seat outside which was nice and cosy, friendly staff great food. Ordered the baby octopus with the chicken and my friend ordered a vegetarian dish which were both very good. Very fast service, the food was served straight away. Definitely coming back.

We went to the LKCH a few months ago on a Sunday night after being told about the great reviews. This place was incredible! The service was great, the restaurant interior was very cool and the food was amazing!! <br/><br/>As we had a group of 4 we decided to go on the food odyssey which was a great choice which leaves the dishes selection to the kitchen. Everything that came out everyone loved and it was a great experience trying new things that we wouldn't normally order off a menu. <br/><br/>Well worth checking this joint out! We will definitely be back.

What a meal! We were a hungry group of 4 with 2 boys with a big appetite. Opted for the $55 odyssey, where they'll surprise you with an assortment of entree, mains and dessert. Thought it was a bit pricey if the food turned out to be mediocre. They surprised us in a most delightful way! Entrees were Tom yum shooters, beef satay, sung choi bao, mantou bao and dumplings. Those mantou buns were lovely! The pork belly had crispy skin yet perfectly cooked meat with a mint leaf and peanut sauce, the combination was a fiesta in my mouth. Everything else was good. Mains were lemongrass coconut chicken, whole fish, tofu and short ribs accompanied by rice. That fish was amazing! Cooked to perfection with delicious sauce. The short ribs were outstanding! So soft and flavourful, well marinated and sauce accompanying it topped it off nicely. I'm not a fan of tofu but my partner who likes it said it was good. The chicken was ok but I wouldn't order it. After all this, dessert! Date pudding and deep fried ice cream in parcels. Yum! Service was efficient and very friendly, we had a lovely waitress. The guy who sat us was very nice too. All in all it was a great evening with outstanding food! Will definitely be back. Prior to going, I read reviews about it being pricey for Asian food but it's not your regular local Asian spot, the dishes are modern Asian if you notice the ingredients they've tweaked it here and there with their own spin on the dish.. Definitely worth it for a nice meal. Will be back to try the adobo and get another fix of the buns, fish and short ribs! Yum! <br/>If you're gonna order anything get the baos, pokpok chicken and fried ice cream!

LKCH has tasty & exciting Asian fusion food presented beautifully. We love to sit at the bar & take things slow with a beer which this place is perfect for. Some of the best squid I've had.

Low Key Chow House has been on my list of places I want to try for a while now and I finally got the opportunity to go here last week. This place is designed for you to order a few dishes to share so you can try different dishes. My friend and I ordered 4 entrees, 1 main and 1 noodle to share which was a substantial amount of food to have between two people. The entrees were nice. My favourite was the pork belly which had a nice smokey flavour to it and the mantou buns which were filled with delicious caramelised pork belly. I must admit that the main was a let-down. We ordered the ribs and I expected the meat to be melt-in-your mouth and tender. However it was quite tough and some parts were very chewy and hard to swallow. We also ordered the ginger noodles which were nothing special – it costed $8, was quite a small serving and way too overpowering with the ginger. Nice place to go to for an experience but food is overpriced and I am not rushing back anytime soon.

As a Chinese, I must say the food is somewhat disappointing and lost in its Chinese authenticity. The flavour is so so, quantity is miserably stingy and too over-priced. After spending over $120 for 4 pax minus the drinks, we left feeling somewhat not filled. Certainly not recommended. Won't be back.

Stopped by in a busy Saturday night. Only a five minute wait for the table. We order a mix of food but the pork buns are amazing and order a second serving which meant missing dessert.

One of my favourite Asian spots in Leederville, this wasn't my first visit and won't be my last! Try the Mantou Buns -crispy pork belly encased in a soft bun oozing with a delicious sweet and salty sauce! Amazing. Also tried the lunch special, a Salmon Fried Rice. So tasty! I would have never thought to add salmon to my fried rice but I think I'll have to try this trick at home! The interiors are cool and industrial and out waitress was full of info and very nice.

Mantou pork belly buns are compulsory. Simple tasty food. Accomodating staff. Menu could do with more variety and more regular updating & I hate when they run out of sago pudding.

To finish off a nice Thursday night off we were both craving some nice fresh seafood. This isn't the place for it but it did hit the spot. <br/><br/>The interior for this place is so clean and spacious. The furniture is comfy and the tables are big enough for all the essentials that you need; cutlery, salt, glasses and little plants to top it off.<br/><br/>We ordered the Chicken Mince Bao which came in lettuce cups rather than baos which was a little bit disappointing because we were craving a bao badly. In the end we ended up speaking before trying because it was actually really tasty. <br/><br/>Another we ordered was the chicken dumplings, now they were really good. I'm not a huge fan of dumplings but if I were to ever start eating them, this is a good place to start. The texture was not too chewy and not to sticky, there was a lot of flavour as well. <br/><br/>To the mains Anthony Trovato ordered the Baby Octopus stir fry which also was another that had a lot of flavour but it wasn't over powering and you could definitely enjoy eating every mouth full of it. <br/><br/>I ordered the Prawn Yellow Curry which was way to spicy for my liking. I don't recall even seeing the word 'spicy' being in the ingredients, if I had of picked it up I would of asked how hot it was. I couldn't enjoy it because my mouth was on fire but the first taste before I died was really good. <br/><br/>The only thing that let me down from this place was the spiciness of my meal, which was a shame because I was craving some seafood and it didn't deliver.

Really tasty food, nice service and a great vibe. We came for a family birthday and really enjoyed it. We had the banquet selection which was nice and easy. We would come again.

Fresh, tasty, delicious! We stumbled across it and wow so impressed. Ribs and the noodles our favourites. Would like to try the dumplings next time. Possibly a bit pricy if you are drinking but well worth it

Good service. Dined here with 10 friends and had a great experience. We chose the set menu option which was GREAT value for I think $55? Really worth while.

LKCH is well designed for a laid-back/urban/Asian feel. The service was good and the friends I was with really enjoyed their cocktails. There are very limited beer options but the pilsner I had was fine. We all had the 26 dollar lunch deal which was good value although I personally would have liked a little more sauce with my chicken because I don't like rice on its own. I think 2pm is a little early for the kitchen to close on a Sunday, but we weren't rushed out. It also might be why the place was so quiet.

Really delicious!!! I love sharing menus and this place has nailed it! Good size portions for each dish. It is a bit pricey but still worth it. It cost us $220 for three people- we did order 5 mains and two entrees and a bottle of wine. Fav dish- the Adobo!

Amazing! First time I went here was with my partner last year. I liked it but as there was only two of us we could try as many dishes, wasn't amazed by it the first time although thought it was good. went here yesterday with some friends and had the $55 pp. was sooooo good! Def better value and got to try a lot of their dishes!! Highly recommend u go for the $55 pp. excellent service both time.

I'm hoping I caught the crew on a bad night, though it should be said, I dined on a Tuesday night and it wasn't particularly busy. The experience kicked off above expectations; the host was very warm and friendly, promptly seated us and talked us through the menu; although, if you're going to recommend certain dishes, it is best to first ask if any guests have food allergies; but that's a moot point. <br/><br/>While the menu at first seemed most appealing, I am afraid to suggest that, to me, it turned out to be a cheap (not even) imitation of celebrated Thai restaurant dishes. The food was bland although awash with fish sauce and comprised of low quality ingredients; firm, unripened paw paw, chicken thigh untrimmed and over use of sugar and salt - lacking subtlety and balance. <br/><br/>The cocktails were very watery (in particular, Mr Miyagi) and uninspiring. <br/><br/>Overall I was most disappointed and am unlikely to return.
