About Kekou

Bridge Road’s modern Asian heavyweight turns out punchy Thai fusion with zero hesitation. Richmond diners know to hand over the ordering to Chef Oak—skipping straight to the multi-course banquet. Plates land dense with wok hei and heat. Regulars swear by the signature puffed balloon bread torn straight into rich garlic butter, followed by balanced barramundi, crisp chicken ribs, and oysters. Behind the bar, mixologists balance sharp sweetness against chilli spice. The room stays relaxed and chic under warm lights, backed by attentive floor staff who keep the rhythm moving right through to the final course.

  • Banquet Dining: Chef Oak’s multi-course spread delivers an intense, flavor-forward tour across modern Asian plates.
  • Balloon Bread & Signatures: Standout dishes feature signature puffed balloon bread paired with rich garlic butter alongside balanced barramundi.
  • Tailored Mixology: Creative bar program crafts cocktails balancing sweetness and spice to cut through rich, aromatic dishes.
  • Atmospheric Setting: Warm lighting and Asian design elements create an inviting, relaxed dining room on Bridge Road.

Tips for navigating banquet menus, portion expectations, and flavor pairings

  • Balance High-Intensity Flavors

    The banquet and feed-me menus offer high-intensity, punchy Asian fusion flavors. If you are sensitive to bold or intense seasonings across multiple consecutive courses, consider balancing your spread with milder individual dishes or pairings.

  • Navigate the Feed-Me Course and Portions

    The $95 per person feed-me tasting menu features modern twists such as deep-fried roti and rich, oilier dishes with modest rice servings. For larger appetites seeking substantial starch volume, consider ordering extra sides alongside the set course.

  • Pair Cocktails to Temper Spice and Richness

    To complement the intense sweet, spicy, and rich flavor profiles across the banquet dishes, leverage the cocktail list specifically crafted with complementary sweetness and spice notes.
