Ming Ming’s Kitchen: Modern Northern Vietnamese Experience
Ming Ming’s Kitchen brings a fresh taste of Northern Vietnamese cuisine right to the heart of Brisbane. Inspired by family traditions of cooking and sharing meals back home in Hanoi, our food combines authentic Vietnamese flavours with a modern twist. Using locally sourced produce, each dish is crafted to keep the richness of Vietnamese heritage while also suiting Aussie tastes.
Meet Ming – The Vision Behind the Kitchen
Back in 2020, when she was just 23, Minh and her partner opened Ming Ming’s Kitchen. It wasn’t an easy ride: from COVID and the Brisbane floods to the challenges of permanent residency and even welcoming twins along the way. But within six months, Ming Ming’s Kitchen was named one of Brisbane’s Top 7 Vietnamese Restaurants by The Courier-Mail, proof of Minh’s passion, resilience and talent. From there, the journey grew.
In 2022, they opened Pho Real Vietnamese, bringing the buzz and flavour of Vietnamese street food to the suburbs, quickly becoming a local favourite.
By 2024, Minh’s hard work and contribution to the community were recognised when she was named one of Queensland’s 40 Under 40.
In 2025, Minh and her partner launched Annamese, a refined dining experience, nestled within the iconic W Hotel Brisbane and The One Residence. It offers more than a meal; it’s an immersive journey of luxury dining and cultural discovery. Annamese brings together culture, flavour and artistry, creating something special that celebrates tradition while sharing it with a wider audience.
Experience Vietnamese Dining with a Modern Twist
Whether it’s at Ming Ming’s Kitchen, Pho Real Vietnamese, or Annamese, the philosophy is the same: food is more than just a meal, it’s about connection, culture, and community.
