"Authentic Saigon style food. I lived in Saigon for four years. This place is as close as it gets to being there. The food was fabulous presented well and tasted even better. This is a family run business. You won't be disappointed.”

"Opened in early 2016, this family-run restaurant has a refreshingly short menu of traditional Vietnamese dishes. There’s home-style pho and banh mi but the hero is the bun bo Hue — a sour, sweet, salty and spicy beef noodle soup. Hot Vietnamese filter coffee with condensed milk is available, too, as well as whole rosebud petal tea.”

“Dominion Road is renowned for having some of the tastiest, most authentic Asian eateries, so it comes as no surprise that it’s also home to a delicious Vietnamese restaurant. Viet Kitchen has earned a reputation for both its phở as well as serving an array of high-quality Vietnamese dishes. This includes the clay pot fried rice, Saigon caramelised pork belly and our favourite — the bún bò huế. The broth is taken up a notch with additional chilli, lemongrass and tangy tomatoes. Paired with slow-cooked beef and hearty rice noodles, this one is bound to be your winter companion.”

“The owners of Viet Kitchen hail from Ho Chi Minh City, so the food here is ebulliently fresh, loaded with herbs and citrus. It’s a cute space, up a couple of stairs from the street, with woven bamboo lamps casting a gentle glow, and excellent service. We love the Vietnamese pancake — crispy perfection, with a herb-packed salad and plenty of prawns and pork; the chicken noodle soup is clear and clean with a soothing flavour, and the pho is sublime. We’re also fans of the Saigon special noodle soup, with offal, prawns and squid.”
