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.

  • 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.

  • Accessible Parking and Elevator Access

    Elevator access and on-site parking make arriving and reaching the dining room convenient for diners of all mobility levels.

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

  • Spicy Fried Calamari

    The calamari is fresh and not stringy, with the right amount of chilli onion and salt without being too greasy.

Before you head over

Practical advice for arrival, accessibility, bookings, and group dining at Coconut House.

  • Locating the Venue and Elevator Access

    The restaurant is set upstairs inside an industrial office park off Warrigal Road with an unassuming office-style exterior. Guests with mobility requirements or strollers can take the elevator directly upstairs rather than taking the stairs, and parking is available underneath and along the road.

  • Booking Ahead for Lazy Susan Banquets

    The dining room is equipped with rotating lazy Susans and large round tables that work best for sharing multi-course banquet dishes, such as coconut butter king prawns, yam baskets, and sizzling platters. Larger groups and celebratory parties should phone ahead to reserve a spot during peak periods.

  • Communicating Dietary Needs and Spice Adjustments

    Kitchen staff are accommodating with ingredient exclusions and allergies like onion, garlic, or meat. Be sure to specify any desired spice level adjustments or strict dietary preferences when ordering so the kitchen can tailor dishes without disruption.
