Situated on Angove Street in amongst the buzz of the local bars in North Perth is Chilli Orange – a modern Asian restaurant. It’s a really stylish place, with easy parking (car park next door), romantic candlelit tables, and is obviously a firm favourite with the locals. When we visited, there was a mixture of older and younger clientele, and a comfortable casual atmosphere – it’s the kind of place where the dress code is smart-casual. We ordered a glass each of the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, a really nice brand called Whitehaven. Very fruity with a lovely clean pineapple and gooseberry finish.
Their food never disappoints. A few of my highlights include the sirloin with the truffle oil, the mushroom tempura as a side dish and the duck red curry.
This place is great for group dining or date night ideas. Casual but you can enjoy good quality food. Do yourself a favour and check this place out ASAP!

Chilli Orange has been up there with some of my favourite Perth restaurants for the last couple of years. My most recent visit was a little disappointing, with mediocre service (one waitress who seemed disinterested), and the exact same dishes on somewhat tired repeat. We ordered the chicken san choy bow (good), the roast duck bao (good), sashimi salmon salad (exceptional), and the mixed tempura (ordinary). Finished with the ginger creme brûlée (usually this is excellent but sadly it didn’t taste as amazing as it has done in the past). The menu has stayed essentially exactly the same over the years (which you can get away with if it’s quite extensive), otherwise it feels repetitive & boring for repeat customers - it would be nice to see some specials or a seasonal menu to mix things up a bit for regular diners. Still a great place to try if you’re a fan of modern Asian fusion style dining.
High price to pay for Thai food but it’s probably worth it for the setting and better service. It’s romantic and the food is great. Have only been once but was impressed with what we ordered.
Hard to go wrong at Chilli Orange.
A very small number of choices on the menu but you really don't need to have it too extensive.
The Seasonal Vegetables and the Seared Duck Breast both delicious.
Wines, either by the glass or bottle are carefully selected and quite affordable for what they are.
Casual but fancy dining. Food presentation is divine. The service is just on but I would have expected more of it for the price range of the food. Dishes are quite original, and the desserts are something I would return for.

Lovely venue with very friendly staff and a buzzing atmosphere.
Take note - most of the "small share" plates here are huge - almost the size of a large! When they arrived we realised our mistake and asked for some of our mains to be cancelled, which staff were happy to comply with.
Our small shares: sashimi salmon salad, seared rare beef salad, scallops, mixed tempura, salt and pepper squid
The general consensus around the group was that everything was cooked and seasoned very well and beautifully plated. I especially loved the flavours of the sashimi salad.
Our (final) large shares: grilled fish, seared duck breast, crispy pork belly
Pork belly was tender with a super crispy crackling. Grilled fish was the teeniest bit dry but nevertheless tasty. I'm not usually a fan of duck but if it was served to me like this every day I wouldn't complain!
Of particular note, the salads and their dressings accompanying these dishes were delicious. I could not get enough of the green mango and pawpaw that came with the pork and the grilled fish.
As diners, we had a great night at Chilli Orange. The food was amazing and every question and request was met with a friendly smile. We were probably a very painful group to deal with especially for a busy Saturday night - thank you so much for accommodating us!
This is one of my top 3 restaurants in Perth with a great selection of dishes and a nice cosy setting. The pork belly is out of this world and everything we had was simply cooked to perfection.
Having ordered entree, main and dessert; every dish was absolutely delicious. Chilli Orange has a modern look with a great atmosphere. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend!
What a find! was recommended to us by some friends and will be back very soon. Started with the seared rare beef and roast duck pancakes which were amazing and finished with the swordfish and red curry duck. I hear the chef is so particular with his food and it shows. Table service was so first class and made the night very memorable. Though expensive, if you enjoy the food and the night, worth every cent!

Environment: simple and Cozy decorations. Good ambience. Easily park at street. Informal dining setting. No toilet inside the restaurant area? --- 7.4/10
Service: A small bottle of iced tap water is provided when seated. One waitress, Young Kim was on duty. She was polite and served with smiles. Normal waiting time for food. -- 7.7/10
Food: Asian fusions mains and Western desserts. Simple and decent presentation. Price was acceptable. Desserts are good value.
- Seared Scallops $22.9/Entree: 4 large scallops were not over cooked. The coconut & brandy sauce was watery. Spoon was provided, but still not scoop the thin sauce easily. Brandy and chilli wasn't over powering in the coconut sauce. --- 7.3/10
Mains:
- Soft Shell Crab with Green Papaya and Asian Herb Salad in Fish Sauce dressing, $29: Attractive presentation, 5pcs large soft shell crabs were keep crisp from spicy fish sauce dressing. Not much salad on the bottom but it's ok for this. Well matched. --- 7.8/10
- Duck Breast (choose 1 from 3), Red Curry with Jasmine Rice, $29: Plenty of red curry sauce, like soup. Relatively large amount of carrot and bamboo shoots in the red curry sauce. There are a few broccoli, eggplant and capsicum, and garnish with Thai Basil and chilli. Jasmine rice was ok in texture and portion. Duck breast looked like roasted, likely in good portion, but skin is more than meat. Not rubbery. Red curry was ok. Not very impressive. --- 7/10
Deserts: good value. Three choices $16@.
- Ginger Creme Brulee with Almond Cake, Crispy Tuile, Honey Sauce & Honey Cream: start from the sound of crack. Really having ginger flavour. Silky texture. Every elements were very delicious. --- 9.5/10
- Chocolate Lava Cake, with Macadamia Ice cream, Coulis and Chocolate Crumble: the chocolate lava cake in a hot ramekin was runny in the middle. The Outer layer of the cake was sticky to the ramekin. Hot and sweet chocolate lava cake is always good with sour coulis and cool ice cream. Very satisfied with the portion of ice cream. And the texture of ice cream was very smooth without any crushed macadamia. I like the sugar decoration on the top of the ice cteam. Coulis and Chocolate Crumble was very yummy. --- 9.2/10
My dining partner and I had a lovely dinner here tonight. We shared 3 entrees and enjoyed a dessert each (my ginger creme brulee was amazing). Everything was delightful as was the wine. Service was perfect. Best of all was the chilled jazz background music which created a great ambiance. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.
Nice little restaurant. Good food, easy to share, the chilli in the name translates to chilli on the plate. Loved the duck pancakes, duck bao buns (so fresh and fluffy!) and pad thai with chicken. Tempura sweet potato was only okay, needed to be cooked a little longer and kind of bland. Tables and chairs were a bit wonky. Service was lovely.
This is one of my favourite restaurants. Food is amazing and fresh. Love the entire menu. Extremely good consistent service. I highly recommend you try. Have introduced many friends to this restaurant and they all have loved the food and have returned. Enjoy!
Beautiful food and beautiful service. Couldn't fault it. All 10 of us had amazing meals. Very happy. This restaurant was great many years ago, so good to see it's stood the test of time ❤️
Went to Chilli Orange last night for dinner with some friends, it was a fantastic night couldn't fault anything. Service was first rate, food was amazing and the chilled relaxed vibe made it a very enjoyable experience.
Went for a birthday dinner and thought the food and service was impeccable. Glass was never empty, portions were generous and very reasonably priced. San choy bow was especially tasty.
We have been many times and every meal we have had has been amazing, everything is full of flavour and delicious. Can't fault anything.
Staff are friendly and polite.
