This restaurant is truly a must-visit. You won't know how uniquely flavoursome the food is until you try it. We don't go to other Asian restaurants. We know QT Kitchen only delivers unique flavours. Their chefs emphasize the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients and house-made sauces to achieve authentic Vietnamese flavours, aiming to capture the essence of their food culture.

Really enjoyed the experience. Food was great, well presented and tasty. Minor comment is that the lamb shank was a little dry and not fall off the bone as you would expect for slow roasted. However it still tasted amazing. Atmosphere was great. Service was excellent.
