About QT Kitchen

QT Kitchen takes modern Vietnamese dining far beyond the neighborhood standard, pairing table theater with heartfelt floor hospitality. Regulars return for the deconstructed pho, where sizzling hot stone bowls hold aromatic broth for cooking thin strips of Wagyu at the table. Co-owners Kenny and Kevin orchestrate the dining room with genuine warmth, handing out birthday roses and complimentary bubbles while keeping service humming. The kitchen updates its menu every four months, rolling out signatures like Massaman lamb shank, prawn dumplings dressed in chili truffle oil, and cocktails presented under smoking cloches. Banquettes fill fast with celebratory tables sharing whisky-flamed chicken alongside truffle rice wrapped in banana leaves.

  • Hot-Stone Tabletop Pho: Deconstructed Wagyu pho arrives with bubbling hot stone broth bowls so diners can simmer slices directly at the table.
  • Theatrical Presentations: Cocktails arrive under smoking cloches with dry ice, while whisky-flamed chicken brings fire straight to dinner tables.
  • High-Touch Hospitality: Hosts Kenny and Kevin greet diners personally with unforced warmth, custom toasts, and celebratory surprises.
  • Four-Month Menu Rotations: The culinary lineup shifts three times a year, highlighting seasonal twists and staples like Massaman lamb shank and prawn dumplings.

Why Diners Choose QT Kitchen

Modern theatrical presentation, signature hot-stone pho, and heartfelt hosting define every visit to QT Kitchen.

  • Dramatic Tabletop Theatre

    Cocktails and signature plates arrive accompanied by dry ice, smoke, and live flames, turning each order into visual entertainment.

    Cocktails were creative and beautifully presented, especially the Lychee Watermelon and even the mocktail, both of which came with smoke and theatre under a cloche.

  • Memorable Milestone Celebrations

    Celebrations are elevated by energetic hosts who take photos and create a festive ambiance rather than a routine meal.

    They were taking photos for us, getting us to pose, and really made sure we soaked in the occasion instead of just sitting through dinner. It turned into a full-on celebration rather than just a meal.

  • Interactive Wagyu Hot Stone Pho

    Hot stone bowls deliver bubbling aromatic broth to the table alongside raw premium cuts, letting diners cook meat precisely to their preference.

    The broth had amazing flavours while the beef rib was so tender, it fell apart on touch. We put the nearly raw Wagyu Beef slices into the broth to cook them, so we were in control of how well they're cooked.

  • Star-Treatment Attentiveness

    Hospitality begins immediately upon arrival, with spontaneous welcoming touches like waiting drinks and personal greetings from Kenny.

    From the moment we arrived Kenny spoilt us with bubbles while waiting for our table. We were treated like stars all night by the most attentive staff.
