Amazing quality Thai food - Edit
The food here is DELICIOUS. Very authentic Thai flavours, and each dish clearly had so much love put into it.
Read moreI got the food delivered, but I can't wait to go into the restaurant next time.
Can highly recommend the massaman and penang curries. Really generous serving sizes. The roti was good but quite small for the price.

Gorgeous food, friendly service! - Edit
We really enjoyed our visit to Cockatoo Kitchen; the food was delicious and the staff were super friendly and kind. We ordered the chickpea massaman, the tofu veg curry don, coconut rice and gyoza. Everything was really tasty and plentiful, and very reasonably priced. We’d definitely go back again to try more dishes. Absolutely loved this place!

Yummy authentic flavors - Edit
I lived in Thailand for 18 months and this food really reminded me of homemade flavors. The people who work here are lovely and so is their food. Some Japanese dishes along with Thai classics.

Amazing! - Edit
The food was amazing, huge portions and so cheap. Not to mention, the owners were so accommodating, it was a hot day so they moved us into the shade and then inside and gave us a free salad for our 'troubles'. Definitely give this place a go, you won't regret it :)

Making Bridge Rd cool again - Edit
It's so good to see new vegan restaurants popping up in Richmond - Cookatoo has only been open a few months but after discovering it a few weeks ago it's now a favourite for whenever I'm in the area. They have some great soups and I had the tuna poke bowl dish last time, which was very filling and full of flavour. The owners are total gems too. Go check this place out!

Great value - Edit
The lunchtime rice deal was very good value, we chose four dishes to accompany the rice, heaps of food for $17 and beautifully presented. The Penang Curry was lovely. I wanted to try the Thai Green Curry but it had all gone, so when the fresh batch was ready they brought some over for us to try. Ultra friendly thoughtful owners. Ideal place for a quick casual lunch, super fast service.

Wonderful, friendly vegan restaurant with delicious dishes. We had the Chive Cakes & Papaya Spring Rolls for entree and both were so tasty. Served with special sauces. For main course I had the Chickpea Massaman Curry with rice and Hubby had the Gyoza Ramen. All were tasty, delicious and well presented. Will definitely be back for more!

Charming Cookatoo! - Edit
Always happy to support a new business and I hope this little cafe does well as it’s a wonderful little find! All the menu items looked great and we chose way too much food. Ramen is fresh and tasty with excellent add ons. The owners are lovely and enthusiastic. Lovely crockery! Several tables available inside which was great considering the weather on the day we visited! The buffet wasn’t available but also looked great value.

Greeted by friendly staff. Very informative on all options. The chef even came out to chat. Comfortable seating. Food was absolutely packed with flavour. Tried Penang with lentil, massaman with chickpea and Mapo tofu. Even got to sample the tom yum. Walked away feeling fresh. Highly recommend. Will definitely be returning to this one. Fast, friendly, affordable and delicious. A very happy vegan.
