Khue's Kitchen

This is my new favorite spot in the Twin Cities! St. Paul specifically is leveling up, Khue’s Kitchen is an incredible addition to the neighborhood. The staff and the chef are extremely kind and welcoming. You can tell a lot of thought and love go into the making of this food. The menu is quite a bit smaller than I expected when I first came, but everything on the menu is a smashing success. I’ve only heard good things about this restaurant and it definitely lives up to the name. I actually ended up recommending this spot to too many friends, coworkers, and family members, I also came here on Mother’s Day with my parents and they absolutely loved it. As far as food, I have tried the cream cheese wontons, the chicken sandwich (popular), the sticky jicama ribs (insanely good), and the rice noodle salad dish. Everything has been sensational thus far. The chicken sandwich has a really nice herbaceous aïoli, the sticky jicama ribs are absolutely incredible especially for anyone that is vegan or vegetarian, there are no meat products in this dish, but the flavor and texture would convince you of otherwise. It’s hard to explain so I’m just telling you right now that you HAVE to try the sticky jicama ribs. This is not a drill. If you end with the Thai tea tres leches, you won’t be disappointed. It is a classic tres leches with a twist, the Thai tea isn’t as strong as traditional but goes perfectly with the other tres leches components. The presentation is unreal! Truly impressed by this restaurant, I will continue to come here and support this local establishment. Chef Eric Pham is so awesome to talk to, wishing them nothing but success!

Very happy to add another favorite spot to my foodie menu! I will be dreaming of their chicken 🙏 We got the pork chop, chicken sandwich, lettuce wraps, chicken wings, Blue Rue (?) sake and tres leches 😋 the chicken was incredible - I’m a wing connoisseur and will be dreaming of the perfectly crisp first bite and the bite of the chili oil. The chicken sandwich is like the wings on a bun with house made pickles and ranch inspired sauce. Somehow, the sandwich was delicious in its own right rather than feeling redundant following the chicken wings. The pork chop and pork lettuce wraps were both great but easily outshined by the chicken. The pork chop paired with an egg, pickled veggies and white rice was an excellent combination. The runny yoke gave the tender pork even more moisture. The lettuce wraps were my least favorite dish. Still very good but I wouldn’t order it on my next visit. The Thai tea tres leches? SO good. Drenched in milk, covered with a crunchy shortbread topping and the delightful addition of boba to top it off. Devoured this quickly - don’t skip it! (Other food recs: Diane’s, Estelle, Marty’s.)

Fantastic! Love the food , the variety of choices, the industrial chic atmosphere and of course the friendly staff and owner, who is often present helping out in a variety of positions. Patio has a cool warehouse vibe but is off the main road so is quieter. Inside has clean modern appeal, not too big, not too loud. Food is creative and I've liked everything I've tried. Spicy chicken sandwich, pork lettuce wraps, wings, thick cut pork, and my favorite, the sticky jicama ribs. I also like the N.A. drink options (dragon fruit martini).

We had reservations for Sat night - which was a must because it was packed. We had the chicken salad, crispy pork lettuce wraps, roast pork fried rice, spicy chicken sandwich, and sticky jicama ribs. Everything was amazing - the flavor was …

Amazing place. Chili crisp wings amazing, moist and perfect. Jicama ribs ridiculous, some slices meaty and others a bit crispy, all delicious. Pork chop spot on. Chicken salad and rice noodle salad much loved. Service impeccable. Loved it.
