About KG4435

KG4435 spares Strathmore the trek into town with sharp Vietnamese fusion, punchy wines, and a hidden rear courtyard. Regulars lean on the charcoal brioche bao—stuffed with tender marinated meat—and crispy pork belly paired with fresh herb sauce. The kitchen treats market produce with clear respect, turning out fragrant beef pho alongside salt-and-pepper calamari. Out back, an undercover deck stays warm under patio heaters, offering a quiet perch for Riesling before ducking into the companion secret bar down the strip.

  • Modern Vietnamese Plates: Market-driven Vietnamese cooking pairs charcoal brioche buns and crisp pork belly with curated wines, skipping the trek into the city.
  • Heated Deck & Hidden Bar: An undercover heated back deck keeps things comfortable through cooler nights, opening an easy route into the neighbouring secret bar.
  • Flexible Neighborhood Tables: From generous bowls of pho to salt-and-pepper calamari and tailored menus, the floor team adapts easily to group dinners and walk-ins.

    Diners can smoothly transition from dinner to post-meal drinks on the undercover heated outdoor terrace, built for comfortable all-season lounging.

    Also the bar out the back is amazing and hip with heaters to keep you warm.

  • Companion Hidden Bar for Evening Nightcaps

    An adjacent secret bar allows guests to continue their evening seamlessly, turning regular dinners or after-work drinks into complete night-out experiences.

    Super engaged staff who took us to the secret wine bar two doors down. What was meant to be a couple of after work drinks turned into a surprising and wonderful evening.

Signature Vietnamese fusion staples and crowd favorites

  • Bao Buns

    Definitely have the baos here. The textures, flavours and presentation are all immaculate.

    Harry Sekhon

  • Beef Pho

    The chicken Vietnamese salad and beef pho is really the best I've ever had.

    Emi Stumpo

  • Crispy Pork Belly

    Each piece is cooled perfectly and the crunch of the crackling is superb. Dipping it in the herbed sauce elevates the pork and is rather sumptuous.

    Shaun D'Monte

  • Roast Duck Salad

    Very generous with plentiful tender duck mixed around an array of fresh salad ingredients and livened by the citrus dressing, this is a refreshing and satisfying dish to follow after the pork belly.

Before you head over

Practical advice on reservations, dining choices, and evening plans at KG4435.

  • Book Early for Peak Hours

    Tables fill quickly and the restaurant can be fully booked out by early evening, so reserve ahead to secure your spot rather than risking a walk-in.

  • Check Spice Levels Before Ordering

    Diners sensitive to high heat should note that items designated as 'angry' come with a sharp raw chilli hit, though staff readily adjust spice levels or offer milder dishes upon request.

  • Transition to the Hidden Bar

    Make time after your meal to head out back or a few doors down, where staff can guide you to their companion secret wine bar to continue the evening.
