Konia Kitchen and Bar

Came for dinner with my kids and wife. It was delicious and the portions were very large. The flavours were unique - I haven’t tasted them before at a Vietnamese restaurant. Decor was modern and artistic. Overall great experience!

“What happens when you turn a steaming bowl of pho… into a cocktail? Only one spot in Toronto is doing this—and I had to try it.” “First thing you notice? The vibe. Traditional floor seating, decor flown in from Vietnam. It doesn’t feel like a theme—it feels like a vivid memory of far away home. We devoured the beef salad and Crispy deep-fried sticky rice with an amazing chili sauce. You won’t find this authentic style anywhere else in the city. the family-style platter —made to recreate how people share food around a table in Vietnam. We thought our herb rolling skills would transfer… they didn’t. Still, worth every bite.” “And finally—the pho cocktail. It smells like soup. Looks like a drink. Tastes like both… but neither? “It’s Savoury, delicious and goes down smooth. Now make sure you follow for more of Toronto’s Hidden Gems! - @BeauPinto

This dish looks absolutely amazing 😩🔥 The grilled chicken is golden and crispy, the sticky rice with pâté and scallion oil is perfect, plus the hot soup make it a full combo. The staff are super friendly, service is quick, and the place is really clean, which makes the whole experience even better. 10/10 would finish every bite.

Wow, this place is a gem. A gorgeously decorated interior with immaculate vibes, filled the soft sounds of Vietnamese chatter between the serving staff and cooks. I was in love before the I even ordered from their carved wooden menu. But then I bit into their meaty, generously filled pork banh mi and I knew I would have to return. The marinated pork is velvety soft, salty and savoury, with just the right notes of lemongrass and garlic. I also had their sticky wings, freshly hot from the fryer and coated with a light layer of sweetness that doesn't overwhelm the juicy chicken. I cannot wait to return. It was a shame to see this gorgeous restaurant so empty before the dinner rush finally made its way in. Take care of your restaurants and they'll take care of you.

The best Vietnamese I’ve had in the city!! The banh mi was also well done, will definitely come back for other menu items and their happy hours.

Vietnamese chicken noodle soup is pure comfort in a bowl. The broth is light yet deeply flavorful, infused with spices like star anise, ginger, and cloves. The tender chicken, fresh herbs, and silky rice noodles make every bite refreshing and satisfying. It’s the kind of soup that feels nourishing, warm, and soul-soothing perfect any time of day.

Great decor, great food. Service is slow but very thoughtful. Some light music and more staff would make this place much better. We came as a party of two without reservations on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant was fairly empty. We were immediately impressed by the decor. It was awfully quiet though, so some light zen music or something would have been nice. We were seated by what seemed to be the only server working at the time. He was also making all the drinks. Due to this, we waited for quite a while to order and receive our food. I don't blame him, as he was doing his best and was working quite fast, but I do think more staff would have made this experience better. The food was pretty good. We got some nice cocktails and also the beef salad and deconstructed pho. All of the items we got were great, with the shrimp cracker beef salad being the standout. When it came time to pay, the server actually removed one of our cocktails from the bill since he saw we were nursing it and thought we didn't like it. This struck us as really thoughtful. We asked to pay for it in the end (as we were just taking our time with it), but that level of observation and consideration was a really pleasant surprise. This little touch really made us more happy with the experience. I do hope they hire more staff, as our server was a bit overworked. The changes to elevate this place are pretty simple to implement, and I would come back for sure.

I appreciate that they have an extensive menu of food here that you don't typically find in a Vietnamese restaurant. They did a good job when it came to presentation, but the flavors are not all there. I ordered the bo ne (beef on hot plate), the beef was chewy, and didn't have any flavor to it. The shaken pork belly was crunchy and seasoned well. The herbal chicken soup had a lot of flavors, but the bun rieu wasn't great, according to my friend. The shrimp and pork spring roll wasn't the best either. Overall, the food was mediocre, but I appreciate the concept and effort in trying to elevate the vietnamese cuisine.
