Annamese Brisbane by Ming Ming: Modern Dining Experience

After months of very careful planning, late nights, and a lot of coffee, Minh and Tony are beyond excited to finally share this project they have put their hearts and souls into. Something they've been building, refining, and nurturing for so long has now come to life — and that is Annamese Brisbane.

Annamese is a celebration of Vietnamese culture, flavour, and tradition, reimagined for the modern dining experience. From the very second one steps inside, harmony between authenticity and innovation can be felt — a delicate balance that brings forth the very best of Vietnam’s culinary heritage and introduces it anew in fresh and contemporary ways.

A Modern Twist on Authentic Vietnamese Flavours

At Annamese, every dish has a story to tell. Our menu brings time-honoured recipes together with modern techniques, combining flavours that are familiar and excitingly new. From the fragrant herbs and perfectly balanced broths to the delicate presentation on the plate, every detail is thoughtfully prepared to give one a memorable dining experience.

For lovers of Vietnamese food, you can feel the respect for tradition in every single bite. For newcomers, each dish is an invitation to the aromatic, vibrant, and colourful world of Vietnamese cuisine. Designed to be shared, savoured, and remembered, that is what the experience is all about.

The Heart Behind Annamese: The Founders, Tony and Minh

Founders Tony and Minh

Founders Tony and Minh bring their passion for authentic Vietnamese food from their experience with Ming Ming's Kitchen to Annamese Brisbane. Their vision is to create a warm, welcoming space where traditional flavours meet a fresh, modern twist.

Every decision, from the menu to the atmosphere, reflects that passion: to make every dish feel like home: comforting, alive, and full of heart. With Annamese, Tony and Minh welcome guests to not just have a meal, but to experience the warmth, culture, and joy of Vietnamese dining in the heart of Brisbane.

Meet the Culinary Talent Behind Annamese Brisbane

After relocating from Ming Ming's Kitchen, Tony and Minh welcomed Head Chef Hannis Tran into the kitchen at Annamese Brisbane. A Le Cordon Bleu alumnus, Hannis brings a wealth of experience, creativity, and passion to the table.

With great respect for traditional Vietnamese flavours, Hannis transforms classic dishes into fresh, modern creations that capture comfort and warmth, just like home cooking, while presenting them in a refined, contemporary way. Each plate is thoughtfully designed to please the senses: a combination of authentic ingredients with innovative techniques creates a dining experience that is both familiar and exciting.

Whether it’s a reimagined family recipe or a bold new dish inspired by the vibrant cuisine of Vietnam, Chef Hannis ensures that every bite has a tale to tell — a tale of tradition, flavour, and heart for Annamese Brisbane.
