Reviews Summary
Khue's Kitchen is celebrated for its innovative modern Vietnamese cuisine, with standout dishes like the steak, pork ribs, and creative vegetarian options. Diners rave about the flavorful food, attentive service, and sophisticated ambiance, making it a highly recommended spot. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some note that certain dishes can be on the saltier side.
"Went here twice in a week! Love Vietnamese food and was super stoked to see a higher end Vietnamese place.
The chicken salad is a must, sweet, herbal, and refreshing. This is definitely our favorite.
Had the pork chop and chicken wings the first time. Absolutely loved them. Tried the 20oz ribeye and it was amazing, perfectly cooked, and the marinade/sauce paired really well. Portions are huge and definitely worth it.
The owners are kind and you can tell they care about their patrons as well, regularly engaging with them.
Definitely will be returning."

"We ordered half the menu,bc it all sounded good. I don’t like salty, so take my comments “with a grain of salt”. The chili wings were a hit, but, honestly, they could have been served without the chili oil and still been great. The side sauce might be for those who wanted to cut the “heat”. The wraps were good. But, the jicama tofu “ribs” and the bún esp. with the sauce that Khue uses were fantastic. The chicken sandwich, I would order again, but without any sauces and just have them on the side to see how the sandwich tastes. I would, personally, not order the fried rice again (I don’t like salty), but the egg was perfectly made for a fried rice. I’d go back. The price is based on 3 drinks, 2 apps, and 4 dishes."

"I accidentally found this spot scrolling around google maps for restaurants on Raymond Avenue. Looks like this place had just opened recently and had great reviews so I wanted to visit. I finally got to eat there last night with my family!
The Food:
Everything we ordered was so good!
The Pork Fried Rice was so flavorful I had to finish the entire bowl. To be fair, we were all famished after a long afternoon at the gym.
My kid had the Jicama Ribs and the texture was unreal. Crunchy outside but also soft in the middle like the fat of real ribs. The flavor was reminiscent of a pork dish I grew up eating, but it was all vegetarian. Delightful!
My partner had the Banh Mi Meatball and that was excellent too. All dishes were plated beautifully.
We all topped it off with the Thai Tea Tres Leches, we all enjoyed it as it wasn't cloyingly rich or overly sweet. Partner enjoyed the frosting quite a bit which says a lot since he's not a sweets person.
The restaurant/ambiance:
Cozy and intimate with a great patio for warmer weather. Everything is tastefully decorated and it would be such a perfect spot for a date night. The music playlist they had on was rad too. I mean, I would want to listen to Sade while eating a great meal.
The service:
Staff were so attentive and kind and explained their favorites and recommendations. They were on top of everything! Chef Pham was super kind and funny and came out to talk to all the diners.
10/10 would highly recommend it to everyone. What a little gem of a restaurant!
Please support them!"
