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.

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.
