Delicious, inexpensive, beautiful atmosphere - Edit
The food was simply amazing. I tried the tofu curry with rice—it was the perfect blend of spice and flavor. The duck was also incredible, bursting with rich flavors, all in just one dish!

Might be my favorite vegan restaurant - Edit
Wow, this place is a gem! Absolutely not to be missed in Melbourne!
Read moreCookatoo Kitchen is a small restaurant serving various asian dishes (mainly Thai but they also have options such as poke bowls or ramen). The food there is DELICIOUS, tastes super fresh and flavorful, I could eat there everyday 🤩
On top of that, the owners are the kindest people and prices are super reasonable especially the lunch set which includes a serving of curry, rice and salad.
I definitely recommend trying the panang curry and the poke bowl 👌
Pros: Amazing food, Reasonable prices, Kind owners
Kwanny
Thank you for the kind words ☺️🙏 Hope we get to cook for you again when you're in the area!

What a gem! - Edit
This place is small in size, but such great space. Owned by a lovely Thai lady and her husband, this place is 100% vegan, has many delicious healthy options and offers ready made food as well as À la carte dining. The food was really tasty and the owner was delightful. I’ll be back for sure!

Great food in a lovely cosy atmosphere - Edit
The menu has really expanded since we were last here, and it's so great to see the owners doing well.
Read moreI really loved the appetisers we ordered, especially the korokke (delicious fried mashed potato, and much bigger than anticipated! with a delicious bbq based sauce), and the chive cakes which came with a delicious slightly sweet/tangy soy based sauce.
The laksa was very nice, and I especially enjoyed the tempeh squares? in it.
The pad Thai was sadly quite bland, hopefully that changes because I love pad Thai.
I really felt so cosy in this restaurant, the music and chatter of the other patrons were just all at the right level. The drawings and figurines of cockatoos was a cute touch as well.
The prices for the main meals are super cheap, especially considering the generous proportions.

Thank you very much for visiting Cookatoo Kitchen again last night. We really appreciate your kind support and valuable feedback that we will be improving upon in the future ☺️🙏.

Love this place!!! - Edit
Really well served and the price is super fair. The staff is also really kind. I love this place!!! I’ve been there a few times already and will definitely come back other times. It’s so good to know that they are 100% vegan 💚 this meal on the bowl on is the Crispy Vegan Duck Poke Bowl, it was so delicious that I couldn’t take the photo before start eating 😬 they have some snacks on the counter and I always buy some because they are really good too, last time I bought the peanut brittle and it’s just amazing!

One of my new favourites! - Edit
Wow! To start with, the owners/staff make you feel like friends from the first visit. There is a really wide range of dishes and at very affordable prices! I got the Japanese curry with katsu chicken. The katsu curry was a Fry's schnitzel but at $16, I'm not complaining! The sauce was amazing but the rice/sauce ratio was a little off with slightly too much rice. I also got tofu as a side and duck as a side which was an extra $2 each (absolute bargain). Will definitely be back! I only wish they were closer.

I ordered the duck noodle soup and it was delicious! The duck tasted and looked great. Tons of choices here which made it hard for me to decide. I also ordered the chive cakes which were great as well.The staff is so sweet as well and were so thankful I visited. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here. #Veganuary

Cosy and small place - Edit
This is a small place that has a cosy family feel. The food is homely and reasonably tasty. There seems to be many food options. The staff are nice. The downside of this place is that because it is a small place, if you are eating in then you are reasonably close to others.

Tasty, homey Asian dinner! - Edit
The food was tasty, flavorful and homey! I really enjoyed it, one of my favourite vegan places in Melbourne to date! The mains in particular are quite good value, and there's more than just Thai dishes on offer.
Read moreThe place itself probably doesn't fit more than 12 or so people, but it is quite cozy and calm, and was very quiet on our Monday night visit. Unfortunately, the Bridge road shopping strip it's located on looks to be struggling (lots of empty storefronts and for-lease signs). Don't let that stop you though, highly recommend visiting :D

Incredibly delicious - Edit
We came here after work for dinner. I knew it was small but we arrived early enough to get a table. To share we went for the curry puffs. They were crispy, hot and full of flavour. I ordered the vegan chicken green curry and my partner had the massaman chickpea curry and we shared brown rice and had a roti each. The green curry was full of flavour and quite hot. I liked the roti and the brown rice was enough to share. Good serving sizes and delicious. Really nice staff. I can’t believe we waited so long to come here.
