Named the Star Tribune’s 2025 Best New Restaurant, Khue’s Kitchen is the work of Chef Eric Pham, who draws deeply from his family’s multigenerational roots at Minneapolis institution Quang Restaurant while charting a distinctly personal path forward. Tucked into a modest industrial space in St. Paul, the restaurant pairs precise technique with bold, emotionally resonant cooking.

The menu blends comfort and ambition, featuring standout dishes such as the widely praised fried chicken sandwich and inventive vegetable-forward plates, all presented as a reflection of Pham’s upbringing, resilience, and the support of his community.

Khue’s Kitchen represents a confident, modern expression of Vietnamese cuisine shaped by memory, craft, and a new culinary voice.
