Quan Thanh — Restaurant in Brisbane City

I visited Quan Thanh on a very windy, rainy night; the last Saturday in September. I was keen to enjoy a hearty Vietnamese noodle soup and I was not disappointed.

There was a slight mix up with my order; I ordered a Vegetable Noodle Soup and a Vegetable Laksa was delivered to my table. I was content with the Laksa and did not draw any attention to the error, I simply began to enjoy my Laksa and I was grateful for its warmth and nourishment.

One of the staff came to my table and mentioned to me that she had become aware that I had ordered a Noodle Soup and a Laksa was provided instead. I explained that I was very happy with the Laksa and did not have any problems with this “error “. The staff member was unwilling to accept my response to the situation and insisted that I should receive a takeaway Noodle Soup as this is what I ordered and paid for; she then disappeared and returned shortly after with the takeaway Noodle Soup that was expertly wrapped to ensure no leakage.

I thanked the staff member for her kindness and consideration and continued to eat my laksa. I took the Noodle Soup home and enjoyed it for dinner at home the following night.

Both soups were delicious and filled with lots of vegetables and tofu.

This type of exceptional service is very rare. I am very grateful to the restaurant for providing me with the takeaway Noodle Soup and I feel that this type of service should be recognised by sharing...

I have been here several times and it has great food for its price. The Vietnamese dishes tend to be of better quality, but the Chinese dishes are easier to share, just like a regular Chinese restaurant. There is an interesting layout of the venue that can cause delays and mix ups of orders and or super long delays due to two different kitchens. I have had orders wrong twice, but I’ve been lucky to receive something else that I didn’t mind eating and paying for. The service could be a bit better as they seem to be short staffed during the busier times, leaving customers forgotten sometimes. Also, it’s only one bill per table that can create a hassle for customers dining in large groups. You can save a lot of money with the bottle shop next to it as the restaurant has BYO, which is convenient, but the atmosphere can become quite loud and noisy creating a non-family friendly vibe that’s is difficult to have conversations with. Getting to the place can take some time, because it’s not walking distance from major attractions and there is very limited parking especially during the weekends, because it’s so close to residential area and public transport is...

this was my second visit at quan thanh. both times i’ve been here, the malaysian/chinese food was delicious and the prices were reasonable.

the egg noodles with soup has got to be my favourite item. it tastes really homely and the soup is super flavourful. you can order it with a side of meat or plain. the first time, i had it with crispy duck which was delicious, though a little salty.

the seafood horfun was pretty good as well and the servings of seafood were decent for the price.

we ordered some dishes as well - kungpo chicken, sizzling mongolian chicken, malaysian butter chicken and the guinness pork ribs.

the guinness pork ribs are a definite must try - the pork is tender and flavourful, goes really well with rice. the other dishes had mixed reviews from the table though in general everything was received really well.

the customer service here is pretty good as well and both times we didn’t have to wait long for our food. parking is easy as well as there is underground parking on site. would definitely return in the future!!...
