KCH North Perth — Restaurant in North Perth

Updated 08/06/2025 - 2 Stars (down from 5) Bought multiple chicken rice for takeaway and it’s got to be the worst chicken rice we’ve ever bought. The flavour was there but the chicken flavoured rice was so uncooked that they were grainy with every bite. Unfortunately we’ve had to get dinner from elsewhere and discard the rice as it was just not edible especially part of it were to feed the kids. Not sure how such a good restaurants from previous experience ended up serving uncooked rice. We weren’t driving back as we live far and drove there just for their chicken rice. Extremely disappointed :(

2024 (5 Stars) A simple but sleek design dining area with sufficient space and not super crowded. The place give a good vibe on entering but be sure to book in advanced as there ain’t many tables. The staff are very friendly and we were very lucky that the staff accommodated us (with a baby pram) without a booking and even with all the tables occupied/reserved. They have an open kitchen which is great as you can see their hygiene standards. Although their menu prices are on the higher end compared to other hawkers places in Perth, their chicken rice was cooked to perfection and with amazing flavour but could do with a bit more of the chicken soy sauce. My husband said it’s one of the best chicken rice he’s had in Perth. I did not find their curry chicken rice any fancier in flavour than other places but hats off to their innovative thinkings for adding potato chips on top to satisfy the crunchy cravings or if you have little kids to please. Definitely could do with a lot more curry sauce as the rice got quite dry half way through and just not the same eating plain white rice towards the end. Overall, highly...

3.5 - 4 stars Came here for dinner at 6pm on Tuesday. Less busier than lunch hours. So served dishes very fast. Laksa, $16: quite authentic serve. Good presentation and taste, pretty delicated. Three prawns (normal size and good quality) were well cooked. Good portions of well- shredded chicken and well-cooked egg strips. Soup was slight spicy, not thick, and less coconut milk one. --- 7.6/10 Chicken Rice, $17.5: only served with one house chili sauce. Chicken was well cooked, glossy and succulent. Rice was full of fragrance. Chicken broth with more chopped spring onions, was better in portion and texture than other shops. --- 7.8/10 6/2022 Environment: simple modern decor. Packed. Open kitchen. Not comfortable seatings. Hear the sound stir- frying with wok, so having a strong feeling of street food stall setting. Clean & tidy. --- 7/10 Service: very busy as 3-4 staff in house during lunch hours. Probably wait for a while but acceptable. Polite staff. Provide a bottle of tap water when seated.--- 6.9/10 Food: normal presentation. Price is ok. Portion is normal. No wow feeling. Limited choices. No today's special when visit. Unfortunately, Laksa also wasn't available. Char Kueh Tiaw, $16: There 3 prawns (normal size), some chicken meat, Chinese sausage slices, egg, spring onion and a lot of crunchy bean shoots. --- 7.2/10 Chicken Curry & Rice, $17: crispy potato chips on top. A big stewed potato was soft. Well with the curry sauce. Chicken was succulent. --- 7.3/10 Iced Black Coffee,...

A small and cosy place for a quick casual meal. Glad that we were able to book a table and avoid the queue. The KCH white coffee was strong and delicious. Tomato Mee ($14.50) was a real highlight, a pimped-up version of what you would get in Kuching, with quality ingredients. The Mee Goreng ($14) was tasty. Our other dishes were unfortunately not so good. Fried Bee Hong was a $13.50 worth of meh, and the biggest disappointment came from the "Rice! Rice! Chicken Rice!" dish. While there was a generous serving of chicken accompanied by a bang-on garlic chilli sauce, the meat was hard and dry. I felt like the chicken was carelessly reheated in a microwave oven. At a price tag of $15, one would expect a bit more care being put into a humble chicken rice dish. For me, I would also expect to see a set of classic condiments, such as dark soy sauce, thick soy sauce, and ginger spring onion sauce, that are synonymous with a top-end chicken rice dish. These would push it over the line...
