Khanh Nguyen at SOI 38 Adelaide

Chef Khanh Nguyen is taking over SOI 38 for one night only. On Thursday, October 2, 2025, the chef, celebrated for his fusion of Southeast Asian heritage and refined technique, will lead an exclusive Adelaide takeover.

Known for his finely tuned balance of Vietnamese heritage, classical technique, and modern expression, Khanh has built a reputation for food that is heritage-driven and deeply rooted in flavour. Since his time at Melbourne’s Sunda and Aru, and now as executive chef of King Clarence in Sydney, Khanh has become one of Australia’s most respected culinary figures.

For this one-night event, diners will experience a curated menu that captures Khanh’s distinctive voice, featuring signature King Clarence items such as the fish finger bao with yellow curry and salmon caviar. The menu also includes spanner crab custard and a claypot broken rice with Thai sausage. The evening will be crafted around two intimate sittings and is priced at $150 per person, inclusive of the full menu and a complimentary drink on arrival.
