About Can Tho Kitchen Bar

An unassuming Runaway Bay shopping centre is the decoy—Can Tho Kitchen Bar brings quán nhậu energy straight to the northern Gold Coast. Regulars bypass the tourist strips for modern Vietnamese share plates. Cubes of beef hit cast iron with a sharp hiss, arriving beside chilli dumplings and spicy squid. House cocktails shake behind the bar while Laughing Bao steams to order, and the owner-chef regularly works the floor.

  • Sizzling Signatures: Sizzling bo luc lac and steamed Laughing Bao anchor a share-plate menu built around bold textures.
  • Warm Floor Hospitality: Attentive floor staff and a head chef who regularly greets tables keep the cozy room feeling personal.
  • Standout Seafood & Bar: Fresh spicy squid and prawn dishes pair up with an inventive bar program far beyond standard local spots.
