Ranging over four floors with a terrace and bar, this superb modernist cafe-bar-restaurant overlooking the Temple of Literature features neat interior design and exceptionally sweet staff, with daily specials chalked up on a blackboard. The short menu has everything from excellent Vietnamese food, including braised pumpkin in a creamy sauce with mushroom, to yummy pita wraps and beer-battered fish and chips.
Koto was started by Vietnamese Australian Jimmy Pham as a not-for-profit project providing career training and guidance to disadvantaged children and teens.
