The food are flavourful and very nice. The best thing I liked about Ka-Chin is there’s a lot of Gluten Free Options in their menu. We were so excited when we found out this place, will be one of our take away and eat out place.
Ka-Chin is a gem on Bridge Rd, the slow cooked beef Rendang here is amazing, tender and rich in flavour. We also went for the signature prawn dumplings in a sweet chilli broth and also incredibly tender sizzling Mongolian beef.
Great prices for the quality of the food and good friendly service.
Great little gem in Richmond! We got the beef rendang and sautéed vegetables and both were delicious. The portions were generous and the beef was perfectly tender! Very reasonably priced and lovely staff.
Great food. So much flavor. Never been to restaurant but ordered on Uber eats a few times and it never disappoints. Good sized servings too. Will be eating in next time for sure.
Delicious food - best spring rolls ever, great value for money, yummy honey chicken and fried rice, spicy perfect thai green curry. Lovely attentive staff - chef also checked if we were cold so he could turn on the heater. Very attractive decor - loved the bird’s nest light fittings. A welcome find.
A great find, for affordable quality Asian food.
We went for the laksa, which was wonderfully rich in flavour, more curry based than coconut.
We enjoyed a seafood and a chicken laksa each and thoroughly enjoyed them.
At around $14 we found them to be great value.
We also very much enjoyed the special fried rice, mao po tofu and a chicken stirfry.
Think cheap and cheerful, great food and service, at a great price.
Recommended.
It has potential .....
Quaint, indoor and outdoor, comfy set up .... comes with attentive and pleasant service too.
Food wise, a bit of a journey through Asia .... their specialty seems to be on the Cantonese dishes; 7/10 $5.00 Sweet Corn & chicken soup,
7/10 $5.00 Hot & Sour soup,
9/10 $17.50 Mandarin Pork Ribs,
Thai influenced 5/10 $25.00 Barramundi with Tamarind sauce, just too sour,
6/10 $15.50 Spicy Sizzling Chicken Ma Po Tofu,
A bit of Western influenced 6/10 $25.00 Garlic Butter Prawns, Scallops and Broccoli.
It has potential this little Asian eatery, trust you can up the ante.
May I suggest to please remove those food photos from your rustic exposed brick walls .... thank you. JT-10/11/2017.
Absolutely love Ka chin! Delicious, authentic and reasonably priced Asian food. We ordered catering for my baby 1st year party. They are so organize and friendly. All dishes are fresh, everyone enjoyed the food. Great experience with Ka Chi!
Really friendly and prompt service.
Been twice, first time a la carte, second time used a voucher.
Standouts were the soft shell crab rice paper rolls, and beef rendang.
Also tried the prawn and scallop- fresh and well cooked - impressed with how generous the serving size was.
Portion sizes are generous.
Nice place for a casual catch up. Will be back.
Great food and service and the friendliest waitress ever. I was confused by the offer by our coupon but all was sorted. My sweet and sour pork was delicious. A banana fritter completed our meal.
Went to Ka-Chin last night - two couples with a Groupon voucher..
We all absolutely loved it!
The staff were all lovely, attentive and very friendly.
The service was extremely fast.
There was heaps of delicious food. A tiny negative, the prawn/scallops could have been warmer and the scallops were a little chewy.
Thank you Ka-chin. Will definitely return.
Nice little jewel down in Bridge rd. Really friendly staff and the chef. Loveeee their Beef Rendang and Mapo Tofu, highly recommended.
If you are doing Keto like me, You can request for low carbs no sugar option like hainanese chicken and mapo tofu.
Quality of food is top notch and the prices are very reasonable!..everyone in the restaurant was very friendly..great experience!..I'm gonna eat there every week!
Fantastic Food! Avocado Soft-shell Crab Rice Paper Roll is a very impressive dish, the crunchiness from the soft-shell Crab with the avocado and coleslaw roll up with rice paper just totally taste so fresh and amazing!
Laksa was as delicious and flavourful, Lemon chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, Beef Rendang is all very nice food!
Excellent coffee, really flavoursome, smooth and creamy, highly recommend take you lover, friends or family here for great Malaysian/Chinese/Japan/Thai food.

Through Liven we discovered Ka Chin tonight on Bridge Rd open till 11pm on a Friday! It's not a party bar, but a cozy restaurant (I say cozy because it's nice and warm inside, it's not small). A tea and coffee specialty place with $3.50 coffee, but $2.50 if you bring your own! Not being a caffeine addict alas I don't have one. For 5am starts on the field we use thermos.
Amazing! Have been here a couple of times and each time it's been great! Have had the seafood laksa- which is super delicious and the beef with vegetables which is fresh and very tasty! Don't expect a classic Asian takeaway as it's more refined. But I really recommend this place!
Plus the staff are very friendly and warm.
@karin Altmann new on Bridge Rd and very interesting menu. Japanese and Chinese dishes and had the flexibility to make mine vegan. Worth a try
A fabulous new restaurant on Bridge road, Richmond. We went for lunch this afternoon and picked Ka-Chin spontaneously. We weren't disappointed at the end of our meal. We had Chicken satay skewers, Avocado soft shell crab rice paper rolls and Nasi goreng to eat. We also had coffee and hot chocolate. The food was delicious and well presented. It was fresh and flavoursome.The coffee and hot chocolate were superb too.
The restaurant was beautifully decorated. Everything was new, clean and trendy. Very welcoming and friendly ambience. Very spacious and tranquil restaurant.
The staff were friendly, attentive and professional. They were knowledgeable and answered all our questions very patiently and politely. They helped us pick the best food of our liking. All staff were very courteous.
We will definitely go back. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone who likes to spoil themselves. A big thank you to all Ka-Chin staff.
Nice little restaurant in the heart of Bridge road in Richmond. Great service with friendly owners had the Beef Rendang with a side of rice was very tender and beautifully cooked great place to eat before heading out in the evening to an event.
Great food, Lovely place, and excellent.I had the crispy seafood noodle and it was good, love the soft and crispy texture of the noodle. Will come back for sure.
Ordered ka-chin today for our work lunch and we loved it! Price wise it's great and the food was amazing lemon chicken was great and the salt and pepper chicken was on point! Will definitely be going again:)
Friendly owners. Banana fritters was a hit. Orders the chicken hainese but wished they had it with chicken rice as the hainese is already tasteless and with just plain rice and no usual soup it was very bland and dry as the chicken itself was not soupy as well.
I've ordered take away from here twice now.
The new owners are absolutely lovely and really interested in getting their food and offering right for the locals of Richmond.
Last week I ordered soft shell crab rice paper rolls, which were delicious. They were so fresh as they were made to order. I also ordered the Chicken and sweet corn soup which was great.
Tonight I though I'd try the Teriyaki Chicken rice paper rolls - again another freshly made serve of 3 rolls filled with teriyaki Chicken, salad and a delicious dipping sauce (cut in half, so a total of six serves). Again I also had the soup (I'm a creature of habit - and it was also like winter tonight!).
Look forward to ordering some different things off the menu in the very near future!
What a great place. Menu is superb with the best bits from a lot of different Asian cuisines. The owner is very friendly and provides great service. The food is very fresh and top quality, I have had the grilled chicken satay in which you get 6 for $12 and a heap of delicious sauce too... such good value. Looking forward to going back again to try some more things. Great experience
Amazing food, fresh authentic ingredients, all dishes have been spot on with flavour. There's not many restaurants around with this level of service, where the chef comes out and asks how everything is and tailors food to your requests! Thanks Ka-Chin our new local!
What lovely service we have had every time we come to Ka Chin. The food is amazing, definitely recommend the roti bread and curry puffs 😍 Beef Rendeng is just like authentic Indonesian!
Incredible food and riendly staff - loved it. Favourite was the rendang. Will definitely be back. Can't wait for next time. Would recommend to anyone!
Avocado Soft Shell Crab Rice Paper Roll is superb! Amazing customer service, super friendly staff! Absolutely recommend for a lovely bite or even just coffee and tea!
Excellent service, not too crowded (limited seats), very well-priced $10 lunch set with soft drink/bottled water. Meal portion is just about what you'd expect for a lunch set, not overly big. Sweet and sour pork is up to scratch, salt and pepper chicken ribs a little less so. Will return while $10 promo is still active.
Beware of $15 minimum EFT requirement, better have cash!
Had boneless hainan chicken today , very tender and juicy , chili sauce for dipping match the chicken just right.The best hainan chicken I ever had .. Good service,clean and free soft drink ! I love it.. Will go back again
Great service, friendly, speedy, good atmosphere with modern furniture and great quality food!
Would come back again as the lunch specials are only $10.
Really loved the food. Had a beautiful sizzling tofu dish, teriyaki chicken spring rolls and beef tataki. So fresh and flavourful. The service was excellent! And the prices really reasonable. Will definitely go back again.
Not bad at all!!! Had the soft shell crab roll, scallop/prawn in cream sauce and the Tom yum noodles. The latter was so so,but the rest were amazing!!
Friendly service, tasty food, good local Asian restaurant.
Food isn’t bad but slightly overpriced and small serving.
Absolutely love this place! Ran by a husband and wife, and she would have to be the most welcoming and always friendly and greets with a smile. I love the Hainanese chicken. - They also take cards with no fee and will split bills.
My sister has lived in Richmond since the early 1980's, and with all her choices this has been her go to place for a number of years, and each time I visited from interstate it's where I wanted to go. I really try to explore their menu but I get stuck on their Crispy calamari and Char Kway Teow nearly every time. Prompt, warm service, & fabulous food. Congratulations and thank you.
Comfortable environment, very friendly and accommodating staffs. The food is really good. Hainan chicken & chicken rice is excellent. Duck fried rice and laksa are also very good. The sweet & sour pork rice is very decent taste (just the right combination of sweet & sour). Highly recommended & will come again.
Always a rare five star quality experience from service, food and value price. From being bullied by its neighbour to now its last night of service due to a relentless landlord who doesn't know what's good for them by hiking rents in a pandemic, these poor guys have had to close their doors tonight. Such a shame and it's a dark night when these genuine people have to leave. Sorry guys to see you go.
These guys offer unreal food while keeping your pockets smiling. Not your typical Asian restaurant here in Melbourne, the atmosphere is quite relaxed and their signature dishes had us absolutely delighted. The lemon chicken is perfect (the real deal), the Mongolian beef is sensational, and the sweet and sour pork is a must.
Staff is super friendly and kind.
