Citron is in a nice location just off Kedron Park Road, elevated with balcony seats as well as tables inside. The wine list is just right and we had a glass of sauvignon blanc to start. Everything on the menu sounded appetising, so it was difficult to choose a dish – this is always a good sign. For the starter we chose a small plate of mixed hors d’oeuvres consisting of a betel leaf with sandcrab, coconut, chilli and coriander, a mahor (minced prawn and pork with peanuts on pineapple) and a heavenly beef bite with nahm jim jaew. All were delicious and set the scene for a very nice meal.
The food here is very interesting and tasty. Service was great. Decor needs an upgrade. Overall an enjoyable experience. Look forward to getting back
Citron does modern asian well and is a must-visit to all Northerners. I had dinner here recently and enjoyed great dishes, with the larger plates really doing the restaurant justice. The beef and lemongrass bites were much too salty so I would avoid in future. The szechwan calamari and grilled beef were cooked perfectly and would 100% recommend. Staff were friendly and unpretentious.
Love, love, love Citron!!
I've been going here for years. It's one of my all time favourite restaurants. Their modern Asian fusion menu changes seasonally while still retaining popular dishes throughout the year. I don't think I've ever missed the Betel Leaves with Sandcrab as an entree! The food is sensational and consistently of a very high standard. Great wine list as well.

In the rush to try the latest new dining sensation, it's easy to overlook restaurants that have been around for a while like Citron at Brisbane's Wilston, and that would be a mistake. Restaurants that have stood the test of time do so because they have a loyal band of regular diners who know exactly what to expect when they sit down and peruse the menu. They produce consistently good food and offer efficient service. While all this doesn't seem that hard to achieve to a customer, restaurateurs will tell you differently.

Great modern Asian food, best that I've found in Brisbane so far! Great service as well. The stand out on the menu for me was the peanut crusted beef cheek, so tender and a really flavorful sauce. Highly recommend for an intimate dinner with wonderful food.
Dined at Citron with a friend who raved about this place for ages. It is literally around the corner of where I live so decided to give it a shot.
We ordered sandcrab betel leaves which was quite tasty and flavoursome. For the main I ordered the oxtail congee, priced at $32, it would be the most I ever paid for a congee in my life. But I didn't mind, as it was quite rich and hearty, like a stew and it was perfect for a cold night. The flavours were interesting and it was quite different to anything I have ever tasted.
The decor is quite lacking for being a fine dining restaurant, felt more like a cafe and interior was slightly dated. Service was ok and the waitresses were attentive with topping up water.
Perhaps I was let down by my high expectations as the food although tasty it was nothing that blew me away.
Glad I came to experience Citron however I don't think I'll be back for a while as I much prefer authentic and traditional flavours of asian cooking rather a modern take on it, each to their own :)
Tasting plate for entree, prawn pancakes for main and donuts for dessert to. Cannot fault this lunch except to say I was disappointed that there was no sticky black rice on the menu. I will return for that (and other menu options). Service was exemplary.
Entree took 45 minutes to arrive (it was a busy night), but it was delicious (mixed plate). Main arrived about 15 minutes later. Pork belly was delicious and the salt and pepper squid okay. Service nothing extraordinary, cost was a bit high. But food was yum and well presented. Would go again, 7/10
This is one of my favourite restaurants in Brisbane! Every time we go the food is exceptional. Peter, the maitre'd, is always welcoming and has an extensive knowledge of the menu. I would recommend to anyone!
Long time customer of citron for a very good reason, the experience is superb.
I've been through most of the menu but my favourite is the twice cooked chicken. I've never had a bad meal here and probably visit 2-4 times a year.
My partner and I ate there last night and I have to say it was one of the best meals that I have experienced in a very very long time. The Asian influence and the lightness of the flavours was quite simply stunning. I am a local (and also owned my own fine dinning restaurants in Sydney) and I have eaten there many times over the years as it is a favorite place of mine but it was the first time for my guest and he was very impressed.
The portions are not enormous but you don't need them to be as the flavours of each dish are. Only one small comment - sorry to see only three items on the "taster plate" instead of four!! Highly recommended.
Love this restaurant and so glad there is a restaurant in of this caliber in our local area. Robert and his team always deliver excellent service - polished without being pretentious. The food is consistently delicious and paired with a good wine list. It's also reasonably priced for the dining experience. Hands down one of our favourite restaurants in Brisbane.
I went here with my partner and absolutely loved it. We had tapas including the soft shell crab bao, prawn leaf, chicken stuffed with prawn, spring rolls and scallops. Every dish was so full of flavour and the scallops melted in our mouths! And our waiter, Patrick, was lovely too! We can’t recomment this place enough! We’ll definitely make this place a regular!
