About Coconut House

Tucked upstairs in a Moorabbin commercial strip, this no-frills institution turns out punchy Malaysian-Chinese banquet cooking built for sharing. Patrons gather around lazy Susan tables for crisp coconut butter king prawns, wok-tossed noodles, and claypot braised eggplant before winding down over complimentary sips of port.

  • Banquet-style sharing: Dishes like crisp coconut butter king prawns and sizzling tofu center the communal table.
  • Tucked-away setting: An upstairs location in a Warrigal Road commercial park keeps dining quiet and relaxed.
  • Complimentary nightcap: Meals wrap up with complimentary pours of port wine.

    No better way to celebrate Fathers Day than to have a family lunch here. Food was magnificent and the service so friendly and quick despite a packed restaurant for Fathers Day!

  • Signature Canto-Malaysian Flavours

    Serving signature Cantonese and Malaysian specialties, including crispy coconut butter king prawns and traditional yam baskets cooked to perfection.

    The place to come when you crave Canto Malaysian style cuisine. We had “Yam Basket with Coconut Butter King Prawns” - signature dish, large firm fresh prawns deep fried to perfection, zero oiliness, great combination of flavours.

  • Flexible Dietary Customisation

    The kitchen smoothly accommodates specific ingredient preferences, severe allergies, and dietary exclusions without compromising dining quality.

    I have a really “picky” food choice. No onion or garlic or mushrooms or any-type of meat. They had options for all of that.

  • Quiet Upstairs Industrial Setting

    A secluded second-story position inside an industrial office park creates a quiet sanctuary away from bustling street traffic.

    The restaurant is upstairs in an industrial area on Warrigal Road in Moorabbin, so dining in the evening is very quiet.

    Car parking underneath and on Warrigal Road is easy. Those who cant climb stairs can use the elevator.
