Award Winning Modern Vietnamese Kitchen & Bar
OUR JOURNEY
Founded in 2020 by Ming and her partner Tony, Ming Ming’s Kitchen brings a fresh taste and vibrant vibe of Northern Vietnamese cuisine to Brisbane. All the food is inspired by their families’ love for cooking and entertaining while growing up in Hanoi. Each dish is crafted with love, designed for sharing, and full of the comforting tastes of home. Our menu celebrates the beauty of Northern Vietnamese cuisine, enhanced with subtle fusion touches using fresh, locally sourced Australian produce. Our passion and commitment have made us a favourite among local families for casual dining, special functions, and catering.
In 2022, Ming and Tony opened Pho Real Vietnamese in Augustine Heights, followed by Annamese by Ming Ming at Brisbane Quarter in 2025, bringing their love of Vietnamese food to more communities across Brisbane.

Ming Ming’s Kitchen: Owner and director
Minh Trang Tran came to Australia as an overseas student and, after completing a Bachelor of Business and Hotel Management in Melbourne, settled in Brisbane to make her home. She and her partner founded Ming Ming’s Kitchen in 2020 when Ming was just 23 years old. Despite battling much turbulence – Covid-19, Brisbane floods, obtaining permanent residency and pregnant with twins – within six months of opening the restaurant was ranked the seventh best Vietnamese restaurant in Brisbane by The Courier-Mail. Unlike many Vietnamese restaurants in Brisbane, Ming Ming’s Kitchen serves Northern-style Vietnamese food, drawn from the recipes of Ming’s grandmother, mother and aunties. With her food and the ‘unique and funky’ vibes of Ming Ming’s Kitchen, Ming seeks to challenge and expand Brisbane’s conceptions of Vietnamese cuisine and culture.

Sherry's Pickings
I loved these tempura prawns, with pickles and mayo. The prawns were crunchy-coated, tender inside, delicious mouthfuls. I loved it, and have had this dish a couple of times since. I believe this will be on their full menu when the time is right - post-virus. Yay! I do love me a Japanese repast (even tho' this is a Vietnamese restaurant), so I was very happy to have this flavoursome dish.
