Explored this place for a special occasion, must say it was a perfect pick. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Good and different collection of cocktails. We got the feed me menu, loved every course except the taro croquettes that was a bit bland and the rice not being warm/hot. The presentation was simple and elegant. The baked pecan cake was a great finish to the dinner, one of the best cakes I have ever had, just the right amount of crispy and sweet. Over all good food and customer service.

Very unique Asian fusion. Quality ingredients, with great flavour and depth. Lots of options. Great for sharing! I went as a walk in for Mother’s Day, they were very nice and carefully explained all the dishes. The ceviche was gorgeously flavoured as was the betel leaf. The balloon bread with spreads was so interesting and tasty. The chicken ribs were cooked well but just a little over salted, maybe because they were totally full for Mother’s Day so producing large quantities. I found the portions generous for the pricing as well, which can be hard to come by. Will return with friends!

We had an excellent long lunch here. The venue, service and atmosphere were excellent and the food was great for the price. We had the "Feed Me" option.
The some dishes might have been overly reliant on the sweet palm sugar flavours holding it together but it's a minor gripe.

The moment you walk in you're greeted with warmth and loved by the FOH team. The service was tentative and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing and each dish was balanced with flavour from umami of sweet sour and salty. Made fresh and presented well. You can choose any dish and you'll won't be disappointed. The bread bowl was unique and had an amazing smoked smell from the moment it landed on the table. The rest was just more amazing one after the after. I can sit here and tell you the best of each dish but I'll let you pick what you feel like and I assure you go home and rave on it as well.
Book in advance and if you have more than 4 people take the feed me option and let the chef showcase their top dishes. The feed me menu is their best seller not just whatever is easy to make for larger group.
Hope you enjoy your night at Kekou

We had the "feed me" option and to us personally it came with good range selection of entree and main, and 1 dessert. Worth the price of $79 (if I am not mistaken), and certainly will leave you comfortably full after full courses. Just make sure to book a table in advance as it might get busy during the serving period.

I've been recommending this place to everyone now! Everything was a standout so there is really something for all, especially if fusion or SE Asian cuisine is your thing. I highly recommend the really cool balloon bread and the satisfaction of hitting it with a spoon! The lobster betel leaf was packed with flavour. Also recommend the crispy pork belly - perfect texture and the sauce was so sweet and sticky in the best way possible. The slow braised beef rib with crispy noodle was so much fun to mix up ourselves and the sauce was to die for.. literally was drinking it up because soo hearty + coconut-ty.
Can’t wait to go back again :) We were both so so impressed with all the dishes and it was even more fantastic to see how the restaurant filled up so much as the night progressed given that they opened just before the pandemic hit :( Definitely one of my favourite restaurants so far.

One of the best Asian fusion restaurants in Melbourne! Staffs are very friendly and professional too.
Must try:
-Applewood smoked beef
-Five spice pork belly (absolutely NOT the one in a normal Chinese restaurant)
-Irish cream stout (dark beer from the tap)

Amazing venue for modern Asian fusion food. Pair this with an excellent range of craft beer. Great for out, awesome staff. Private functions available upstairs too. Pictured is the fried chicken, lamb ribs, pork belly, curry and roti bread. Highly recommend eating and drinking here
