Kailis Bros Leederville

During our short stay in Perth, we’d like to have sea-food lunch, so first time visited here. Beside restaurant space there are fresh fish market, chosen fish can be cooked immediately & served. This is really Chinese style!👍(I’m a Japanese come from Shanghai). We’re very satisfied. Good restaurant😋

We came here on a 38 degree day and wanted something light but tasty. We ordered oysters and arancini to start followed by the 1.2kg pink snapper for two which was cooked to perfection. Really lovely service as well which completed a relaxed lunch on such a scorcher of a day. We will come again!

Absolutely love this place. The food was delicious and proper authentic seafood. Sides were awesome also, the Greek Salad was especially good. Staff were friendly and the Chefs looked like they were enjoying their work. We shall return.

Amazing Seafood and Service at Kailis Bros Leederville! Kailis Bros in Leederville truly delivers! The food was amazing – incredibly fresh seafood with large portion sizes that definitely satisfy. What really stood out was the amazing service. I asked our waiter to choose the side salad, and I was so happy with her choice of the Greek salad. It had great variety and flavors, perfectly complementing the meal. Highly recommend for an outstanding seafood experience!

Firstly I wish I took photos to justify my following comments. We had the pleasure of dining at Kailis Bros Leederville and from the moment we entered the premises the Staff were amazing. They honestly could not do enough to ensure that we were going to enjoy the evening. They know the food they are serving, which by the way is fresh, cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced and are happy to answer questions prior to ordering and throughout your meal if wanting to put courses on hold. They have an extensive Al la carte menu, set menu options and group menu options, catering for everyone. I cannot recommend enough!

We had a wonderful evening at Kailis last night with friends. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was impeccable – the staff were fun, caring and attentive. Every dish was a true delight for the palate. The chilli mussels were absolutely amazing, and the sashimi was outstanding. The tiramisu at the end took me straight back to Italy – simply delicious! Buonissimo! 😍

We arrived at Kalis Bros Leederville around 7:30pm, and to our surprise, the restaurant was only half full. Our group of five adults was hoping for a satisfying meal, but things quickly went downhill. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a waiter who exchanged a few words with her manager. The manager then approached us and informed us that they could only offer a table for four at the front, as the rest of the restaurant was "full." When we pointed out the empty tables further back, where a large group was already seated mid-meal, we were told that those tables were off-limits. Apparently, it was "too far for the waiter to walk" since the restaurant was operating with only one waiter. However, we noticed there were at least three waitstaff on the floor, and the distance between the tables was no more than 15 meters. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, and the manager's attitude came off as lazy and entitled. Feeling frustrated, we decided to leave and find another place to eat. On our way out, we overheard another group of customers sharing that they were turned away and told to come back later because the restaurant "didn't have tables," even though, again, the place was only half full. The lack of basic customer service, the poor attitude, and the overall mismanagement left a bad taste. We won't be returning anytime soon. Hopefully, management rethinks its approach to customer service and staffing.

Second visit to Kailis Leederville in as many weeks. An outstanding lunch once again, impeccable service and lovely educated chat about seafood next door and recipes. Do yourself a favor and buy a fresh fish and send it to the kitchen, try the fish wings they are crispy crunchy and sticky and you can’t go past the Greek salad (amazing fetta) thank you Kailis for a lovely Friday lunch

The best seafoods in Perth always fresh and delicious and yummy I recently brought some prawns for Christmas they were so good

Fresh food Friendly staff Reasonable price Near Leederville train station Near shops Parking available Clean We will be back

We have the mix seafood and chip and fish and chips. Their tartar and ketchup sauce are in packet. The tartar sauce are more watery than the other tartar sauce I had before. The mix seafood plate comes with 2 shrimps, 2 scallops, calamari and a piece of fish. I would recommend the mix seafood and some other non deep fried food. The scallops are fresh scallops deep fried with batter. Very busy place and hard to find parking.

I love salmon, prawns, crayfish and crabs and Kailis Bros Fish Market is one of my favourite places to go to stock up on seafood. The seafood is brought in fresh daily, so you are assured of the quality. This family owned business has been in operation since 1926, so they must be doing something right! Most of the produce is locally sourced which is beneficial for the local fishermen. Here you will find fish of every variety both whole and filleted, crustaceans which include crayfish, prawns and crabs and molluscs which include oysters, mussels and clams. If you are a seafood lover this is the place, you will be more than happy with the selection. My standard order includes salmon fillets (skin on), raw tiger prawns, mussels and cooked crabs. There are always staff on hand to help you with your selection and advise with cooking methods if required. A good selection of ready to eat options are available. Have enjoyed a tasty filled baguette as well as a piece of poached salmon for lunch. In addition they offer catering with a huge selection of platters available. The Kailis Fish Café is located just next door and is open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Can thoroughly recommend the fish and chips, but there is a range of seafood items available to suit everyone. It is casual dining and you may choose to have a wine with your meal as it is licensed!

To be honest, my husband and I weren't fans. I am surprised to see the rating because. Our experience wasn't worth the cost or travel to get to Fremantle. While the atmosphere was interesting, the food was HORRIBLE. My hubby and I like fried seafood but this place uses the same batter on the fish, shrimp, scallops, and squid. While the chips were good, the fish was just greasy and fell apart while trying to eat it. The fish was a wet, mushy mess. The tartar is prepackaged and had a very nasty texture.

Returned back after some what of a hiatus. Was impresses with the care and attention to ensure my meals were gluten free. All seafood was exceedingly fresh, atmosphere a bit casual when you consider the fine dining prices but the quality of the food made it for it by miles.

As far as seafood goes, Kailis is king. It's as fresh as ever and plated with elegance. The restaurant itself is very fresh and upmarket too. Airy and light, with plenty of breathing space. So we know how amazing a piece of perfectly cooked fish or a plate of fresh shucked oysters goes down at Kailis, but I must make note of the breakfast. I was directed here with a group of friends one Sunday brunch, when Sayers couldn't cater our sizeable group. I was sceptical; 'as if a seafood restaurant could make a decent breakfast'. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Whilst it wasn't so wildly imaginative as Sayers, it was absolutely delicious and poached eggs were not to be faulted. So if you're in Leederville and looking for a place to have breakfast, keep Kailis in mind.

Since moving to Australia, my family's new tradition at Christmas, instead of having a turkey is to have crayfish, prawns and seafood, I much prefer this tradition. And part of it, it to venture down to Kailis and buy the delicious crayfish on offer. Kailis has become a well known name around Perth, when you see a Kailis truck unloading fish to a cafe or restaurant you know that they will have good seafood on offer. Their market and cafe in Leederville help mark where the company began and keep the vibrant atmosphere of Kailis alive. The fish market is bustling and filled with fresh, and some interesting looking fish, it is an interesting place to go and watching customers order is actually quite enjoyable. Their cafe is set apart and is a nice casual place for a meal, they are open breakfast, lunch and dinner and the prices are worth the amazing food you are served. This is the most recognized name in fish in Perth for a reason, it is definitely the place to come for your freshly caught fish direct from the Indian Ocean.

Fish, glorious fish! I'm anxious to try it. Fish, glorious fish! My favourite diet... Er, yes, that was a rendition of 'Food, Glorious Food' from Oliver! with the word 'food' changed to 'fish'. Not terribly original I own, but fitting, I feel, to the wonderful fishiness of Kailis Bros Fish Markets. The fish and seafood for sale in the fish market are beautiful, fresh and delicious, not to mention very reasonably priced for the quality. Their selection of fish is varied, and they have some of the biggest tiger prawns I have ever seen. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and I feel certain they'd appreciate a rendition of 'Fish, glorious fish' if you were to sing it to them, and that they'd heartily agree with its sentiments. I haven't eaten at the adjoining restaurant, but it's always busy and if the fish market is anything to go by, then it'll be just swell.

I ordered the 'Fish of the Day' for $32. Supposedly this was Red Emperor. The dish was two rather small pieces of fish, about 20 chips and one of the smallest side salads I've seen. I am a value for money person & I definitely won't be back.

Had dinner here for my mum's birthday. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. I ordered the grilled lobster with saffron and thyme butter dish. Lobster was cooked perfectly. Chilli mussels were absolutely lovely. My mother didn't particularly enjoy the Dhufish and felt that it was overcooked. Really enjoyed the fresh oysters here. Ordered a dozen of the three way sampler. Natural and kilpatrick were great but can't say the same for the one with mayo and salmon eggs (I think). It just didn't work - texture and taste wise. We did order the seafood chowder which never got served and we didn't bother chasing it up either - it was an incredibly busy night. But not bothered by it.

THE MOST EXPENSIVE FISH MARKET IN AUSTRALIA! How can we be living on such a beautiful coast in Australia and paying these prices? For my family of 5 I purchased 2 pcs of Salmon, 2 pcs of Snapper, 5 prawn skewers (4 prawns on each) and a very small tub of marinated octopus. The total $96.00! Please try everywhere else in Perth before you go here and pay postcode tax!

Im a big fan of seafood....love it. And I guess this review is influenced by that but then isn't that the best way? Friendly staff and amazing food. Facility was great ands table was window front yet intimate for two. I ate so much and could of probably ate the same agin but as I said...itsa my weakness. Prawns were amazing. Great work and reasonable cost.

Fresh as could be, great selection, a helpful staff, and easy parking - what more could you ask for in a fishmonger? I've not eaten in the restaurant, but the attached fish market is the best in Perth by far! Once inside, they don't have the smell of most fish markets, which is a great indicator of just how fresh everything is. The staff will accommodate most cuts and cleans without a hitch, and they usually have live cray and marron in the shop. They're always quite lively and come out just like the ones you catch on your own! An added bonus, they do a great amount of deli style bits as well (greek style occy, smoked salmon, etc), and always have a huge bowl of lemons near checkout as I always tend to forget them at the shops otherwise.

Can someone please hand me an air mask or open a window or ten? I've never grown up around seafood, let alone seafood markets. The smell inside sends me into a wave of nausea I can't get over without fresh air. Luckily my man lived near the coast, North Atlantic, so nothing fishy freaks him out. He had the option to buy shrimp at the IGA and he said lets hold off and go to Kailis Bros. From my quick few glances (and gags), the place seems incredibly clean. Bottom-line, the shrimp we bought and cooked was phenomenal. We will definitely be back to buy our seafood from here... I just may be breathing through my mouth.

Pros Full flounder - huge!!! Big enough to share between two - very tasty Cons Service was lacking on a not so busy Thursday night. if paying a premium price, it sours the experience and overshadows the good Dont bother telling them you werent happy as it appears Perth's dearth of quality waitstaff continues to send patrons to queue at Jamies Italian for 2+ hours just to try and remember what value used to look like when dining out ....

Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff are lovely, it can be a bit pricey especially for a family but well worth it. There is a lovely wine list. The menu covers everyone, I had the garlic prawns to start with this time, they were awesome. Then I had the Seared Salmon..... oh bliss. I wish I had enough room for dessert as they looked great but maybe next time I will skip the entree and have dessert.

My favourite seafood shop. Fish is always fresh, they make their own sushi & prawn or crab baguettes ( these are outstanding ). Staff are genuinely friendly with the exception of one of the guys that serves at the till. I guess he's just plain old boring.

So when it was suggested by a friend to come here I was a bit worried that all I was going to be served was seafood and smell the aroma of fish. But to my surprise it was pretty easy to forget they had a fish market section to the side. I was told breakfast here was cheap. The interior furniture was pretty snazzy so I though I was lied to and would have to fork out a bit of cash. But the brekky meals ranged from $8.50 to $20 so pretty decent! I had the open omelette with asparagus, goat cheese, bacon, mushroom, spinach and toasted sour bread ($16.50) Food was pretty yum! Service was super friendly and the coffee was awesome. I wouldn't say it's the best place for brekky in Leederville, but I did leave satisfied! I think I can see myself returning. :)

Went into the Kailis fish market the other day I picked up a blue swimmer crab to feel the weight to see if the crab was full and was told quite abruptly from a staff member that customers are not allowed to touch the seafood that's what the staff are there for ( I've been going to seafood markets for 20 years in Australia and abroad first time I've heard that one) so I didn't buy any crab. I then had to ask the staff member to pick up a pink snapper and show me the gills so I could see if the fish was fresh (it wasn't the gills were a pale pinky grey not the bright red you want to see), the staff member rolled his eyes and sighed as I asked him to show me another fish so I decided to leave empty handed and go to my regular fish monger in northbridge were customers handling and selecting their own seafood isnt a crime.

Kailis Brothers is a mix between a fish market and a restaurant. While that sounds like an odd, and even unappetising combination - it actually works quite well for Kailis Brothers. The fish market side features some good quality fish at decent prices. Their fish tends to be quite fresh and nicely sized. Aside from fish, they also have various seafood on offer, such as squid, mussels, lobsters and crabs (season-dependent). Their restaurant side is located at a suitable distance away from the fish market, so that the aroma of the fish market wouldn't permeate over towards diners. The food is somewhat on the expensive side and the service can be slow at times, but the food is generally well-made and with a nice balance of flavours. The lunch menu is heavy on the seafood, but that is to be expected when you are dining next door to a fish market. For those wanting to purchase a nice cut of fish, Kailis Brothers is recommended. However, for those wanting a meal, there are other places on Leederville's café strip that serve equally good food with a faster service.

It was recommended to me to try this restaurant as Kailis is famous for its seafood. It was a rather awkward evening that started out ok. There were a lot of floor staff and what seemed to be two supervisors, one at front of house, the other on the floor. Having stared at our empty plates for 20 minutes after our meals, waiting for our waitress to clear our table (as well as 2 other tables in our area), so we could place our dessert and coffee order, we decided we might as well just get up and pay for our meals. Our waitress walked past many times and had no interest in clearing the tables. I didn't quite understand what was going on there. We were starting to wonder if there's an unspoken methodology in placing our dessert and coffee orders. I started to wonder if that's just the restaurant's way to get customers to leave by not clearing their tables. The food was not bad but the evening was disappointed by the staff's and supervisors' strange behaviour.

OK, so if you're here having fish for lunch or dinner I reckon smelling fish would be cool. But over a couple of beautifully cooked googs and some mushrooms it's not great. Service was great, food and coffee was yummo. Not sure what you do about the smell of fish in a fish market, so maybe you should expect it before you walk in - OR, you could order kippers...

Never disappointed here. Amazing seafood cooked to perfection with decent staff. Usually we get a few share plates so that we can try a bit of everything. Favourites include the scallops and king prawns with wasabi mayo!

Food was ordinary... as much as I wanted it to be extra-ordinary, it just did not live up to the expectations. Beyond the run-of-the-mill food being served, the greater issue I experienced was the staff: THEY WERE EXTREMELY SLOW... I had to wait... and wait... and wait... for everything, including my bill. I basically had to run after my server and ask her for my bill, which arrived 10 minutes later. Then, after having paid, I meandered around the actual fish market, and experienced a very rude exchange between the older male clerk at the cash register and a customer. The cash register clerk was quite rude and unpleasant (to the customer), which left a terrible impression. Overall, I was turned off by my experience.

Bought some Samson Fish Fillets from Kailis last week which I had to throw out after being cooked up. Disgusting. Unbeknownst to me I looked up on the internet about the Samson fish and apparently it is a fish that is more often than not riddled with parasites which makes it turn into a substance not unlike mashed potato when cooked and tastes revolting. What I would like to know is why would a reputable "Fish" Business take the chance of selling Samson when it's more than likely that this is the outcome. Wasted a good $22 bucks and I won't be going back. It's a con and they charge like wounded bulls.

The only word you need to associate seafood with is "Fresh" and Kallis Bros Fish Markets' seafood is certified fresh! I've been here a number of times with groups ranging from 3 people to 10 people and we've been completely satisfied every single time. Not only is the food exceptional but it is often quite frustrating going to a place with a large group of people. At Kallis, all the orders were perfect and they were all timed to come out at roughly the same time. The actual venue itself is designed really well! There is enough room and space for everyone and it doesn't feel like you're packed in to the tiniest square inch like a lot of other restaurants in Leederville.

Bullshit. Seafood platter for 110$ is a rip you dont even get a decent amount of food. Dont waste your money. Never going back.

not worth the price. and on top of that, something like 25% public holiday charge. for two people it was $150. the staff was very friendly however, probably the best part of the experience.

Have just had dinner at Kailis Leederville for my Daughters 14th birthday.$420.00 later I'm Very dissappointed , all did not start well as the waitress spilt water all down my back , we were seated in the booth near the water station. Entree came out all was good and tasted pretty good, sizzling garlic prawns sensational, sashimi was fresh as was the oysters, the spicy salt and pepper squid was ok , but not the best. Mains came out and it was all of a very poor standard . Lobster Thermidor don't bother it had no flavour except for the taste of uncooked flour . The mixed seafood tempura was rubbish McDonald's do better. Swordfish was average as was the whiting. The Greek salad was soggy and tasted like it had been out all day. My husband was fortunate that his meal was ok fish of the day Mulloway. As for the atmosphere, they need to improve , in an open kitchen environment you could here the bickering going on and in general had a dour demeanour, the floor wait staff could do with a lesson in learning how to smile . With such an iconic name in WA seafood I think Kailis should reassess its Leederville venture .Very dissappointed .
