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!
Ate at Citron tonight. Props to the kitchen team. Beautiful Asian flavors and well priced, definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.
Outstanding. The wife and I went to Citron on Friday, and were blown away by the quality of the food.... we're fortunate to eat out often, and I'd put Citron up there with the best 5 meals I've had in Brisbane (up there for me with Reserve, Ortiga, Montrachet and Brents).
Really outstanding flavours & textures, good friendly service and a nice & relaxed atmosphere,
we'll be back!
This is our favorite restaurant in Brisbane. Great service, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere. We just keep going back
Fresh, vibrant. Citron would have to be one of the best restaurants in Brisbane. It consistently delivers fresh, delicious Asian "fusion" with an ever evolving menu so the lucky Wilston locals can go back time and time again and never get bored! And never be disappointed as each dish is always delicious! The service is always terrific and friendly.
Hidden Gem. Extremely good modern Asian food. Been to this place about 5 times now and the food has always been sophisticated, fresh and delicious. Ambiance is probably not perfect but the staff are friendly and efficient.
A delight for the taste buds. This restaurant was such an unknown for us and visited it for a casual lunch. We left absolutely committed to coming again to try more of the sensational food.
Very well designed and balanced meals with great thought and care put into their making. The atmosphere is fresh and contemporary with quality tableware and excellent efficient service.
Looking forward to my next food experience there.
Loved it. A feast for my taste buds!
The food was divine and very innovative. The flavours were a burst in my mouth and I enjoyed every mouthful!
The service was excellent. Not too intrusive yet attentive.
I have already hinted to my husband that this is where I want to be taken for mother's day.
Love it!
This is the best restaurant in Brissy. The food is always 10/10 service is great too Really worth trying.
Great Lunch. Went with a large group for lunch and will definately be back soon for dinner. Loved the tasting plate- different flavours and textures were so fresh and vibrant. Then the whiting with a glass noodle salad- absolutely loved it. Happy and professional service rounded off a relaxing lunch.
The food here was delicious! To start off with we had the tasting platter which gave us a chance to try all the starters. These were great and the serving sizes were perfect. For our mains we had the ribs and the green fish dumpling curry. The ribs were amazing. Very tender and full of flavour. The green curry was good but the ribs were the ultimate winner. The service here was also excellent. Very attentive and the staff were very genuine and keen to help and give advice. Overall a very good dining experience which we will be returning to and recommending.
Gastronomic Excellence. The crispy green rice king prawns were divine, and the twice cooked crispy chicken was 'melt in your mouth' juicy. The desserts are a reason to return on their own! The service was attentive and polite and the drinks were well priced (cheaper than the prices at the movies!). Citron is a fabulous suburban restaurant that gives it's Eagle St contemporaries a run for their money. I'll definitely be back!!
Yum! I don't live in Brisbane any longer but when I head bank to visit this is a must visit on my list! I need to get my fix of the Twice Cooked Chicken and the betel leaves! I'm salivating just thinking about it!!!
Excellent food, excellent service and great wine list! Can't fault this place!
Everything was really delicious with lots of interesting flavour combinations - the beef cheek, twice cooked chicken and eggplant mains were outstanding. desserts were scrumptious too particularly the condensed milk ice cream OMG.
We love Citron! The food has always been superb and I think reasonably priced for the quality. The service is friendly and extremely helpful if you can't decide what to choose from the amazing menu. Highly recommended for a special night out!

Oh behave. Well hello there fellow diners, RRR here. had the pleasure of going to this little gem last night for dinner after my GF talked me out of a bit o' pizza action. I'll tell you one thing, my mood quickly changed when the entres arrived... YAHOOO... i dunno what the hell was going on but what was happening in my mouth was legit. I won't even talk about the mains, in fact I will, given this is a restaurant review - they were simply fantastic, lamb on the bone with massamum curry. I think I am dead and in asain fusion heaven. Look in all seriousness, great service, lovely food, reasonable price for the quality - will be heading back there fo' sure. xoxo RRR
Well done Citron! We Enjoyed the mixed entree tasting platter and the spice duck sausage and to start followed by shared mains of the ocean trout with kafir lime sauce and sticky rice and the pork belly. Dessert was the Creme brûlée served with green tea syrup and papaya as well as warm donuts and white chocolate parfait. Food was well extremely good 8.5/10 service could have been slightly more attentive but we were never left feeling forgotten at around a 7.5/10. Ambience 6/10. Be sure to check this place out - well worth the effort
Citron fantastic. My favourite restaurant ever. Amazing food-delightful flavours,supberb service
My favourite restaurant in town! Love everything on the menu. Never get dissapointed there. Fresh ingredients, yummy food, great service, nice atmosphere.
Oh my god!!! What an amazing soirée of flavours?!? We went out of our way to go to this place and boy! did it pay off. Unbelievable food, fresh flavours and fantastic service. I personally recommend the Bette leaf prawn entree. To die for!!! My vegetarian partner absolutely loved his eggplant dish. Although there were only 2 veg options on the menu, it seemed like some of the dishes could have been modified. Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!
Great modern asian. Fantastic restaurant in wilston. high quality tasty food every single time. the betel leaf roll up with crab is delicious and better than other versions around town.
menu changes quite often but always good as is the service.
Always superb. We have been dining here for years and go at least once a month and it is always amazing. The food is fusion asian and full of flavour. Nothing bland or boring here. The menu changes regularly which means there is always several new options to choose from keeping it fresh and interesting. We have always had fantastic service. Most of the time we take the children with us as they love this place as much as we do. The children's menu is great with the mild chicken curry with rice and green beans a firm favorite with our children.
Flavour Creations. I absolutely loved my experience at Citron. Having being there about 6 years ago, I revisited the restaurant with a small group of friends Saturday night and everyone went away very satisfied. We did the whole experienc - tasting plate, entree, main and dessert. Each meal had such wonderful, different flavours that were light and not overpowering. My favourite dish was the betel leaves with crab - recommend everyone starts their dining experience with this.
Great food and service and good for kids. Very impressive food as always at Citron but recently first time with the kids.
The kids menu was excellent and the sticky beef noodles and mild chicken curry were hits with the kids and a great option to something with chips.
Everything else was great the service whilst inexperienced is very attentive so top marks.
Secret's Out. This is one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Brisbane. I have been a number of times now and every dish has been fresh, tasty and with a twist!
Definitely recommend the mixed taste plate or betel leaves for entree, twice cooked crispy chicken, caramelised beef cheek, sweet sticky pork with scallops and apple/papaya salad for mains, wombok for sides, and if you can still manage the dessert, try the caramelised pineapple tart or "lemon meringue" pie with a twist. Food heaven!!!
I ALWAYS bring out of town friends here because I am certain they will walk away satisfied - with the flavours, the volume of food, wine list and the level of service. It is evident the staff are proud of their offerings and passionate about their concept.
The only flaw is that in winter with all the blinds down, doors closed and tiled floors it can become a little noisy....
Lisalovesdiamonds. We had a lovely time. Flavours fresh and tasty. Crispy twice cooked chicken with zesty asian salad was lovely. Seared scallops and pork belly a hit. Had the pannacotta with an asian influence, not really for me but well done and presented. Husband had roasted banana pudding which is really loved. Mains approximately $32, portions were more than enough for us. We will be back. Service excellent and cheery
Mummy likes Citron. Summer ambiance is lovely in the outdoor area. With 3 yr old in tow, we arrived early and were given a lovely table with friendly and attentive service. Basic but good kids menu and meal arrived promptly.
For entree the tasting plate and betel leaves a hit as always. His beef curry was nice and my prawn, mussle and fish curry was great - perhaps a few more asian herbs to finish it off.
Overall, quite good and the stand out of Wilston Village.

Fusion... If you are after Authentic Chinese Cusine, I wouldn't recommend Citron to you. If you are after new things like fusion, this restaurant is worth of a try. I saw this restaurant that has lotsa good reviews so I wanted to give it a try. My partner didn't know it is "Modern Asian" and this restuarant has completely taken him out of the box in term of "Asian". We tried a dish of everything as an entrance, pork belly and duck salad as mains. Entrance was a bit small in portion. The taste was nice and for sure out of our imagination. A lot of vinegar with other unknown but vibrant Asian sauce that really lift up your taste bud before the main. Pork belly was really really fresh. We haven't had pork belly for a long time and this is the best by far. The fat just simply melted in your mouth and didn't leave any unplesant taste after all. Again the portion is a bit too small though... Duck salad was a bit let down unfortunately as there was nothing special. All in all, it was a nice fine-dinning experience.
Fresh tasty modern asian. Robert came over and commented on the buzzing restaurant that was soon to be full to capacity in about 30 minutes. The service continued to be spot on as the other half the place filled all at the same time. The share plate for $9 is a must try & offers something different to the regular starters items including of course, the Beetleleaves. Mains consisted of the duck red curry, the kingfish, prawn & mussel curry and the pork neck, all around $34 - $36 each. All the dishes were fresh, flavourful and generously portioned. The dessert menu also has some interesting choices however our table were elegantly satisfied after our large mains to skip dessert. The bill for a table of 3 came to $57 per head including one bottle wine. For a modern asian 'treat' I would return.
Great for consistently tasty food.. We've eaten here about 7 or 8 times, and will go back. So many restaurants are in the "I will never go back" category, that is is a delight to find one like this.
Seriously good, tasty, spicy food. The little betel leaf parcels and the scallops and pork belly are amazing.
If you like food with taste, a little different from the normal Thai, go try it.
Fantastic asian!. Good, warm service. Everything reasonably priced. Little one had tender beef with sweet egg noodles. Had the starter tasting platter and liked the betel leaves. Soft-shelled crab was somewhat soggy but the green mango salad accompanying it hit the right spot. Terrific chai pana cotta and green tea granita, but didn't care too much about the accompanying jelly. Overall a great Sunday lunch despite the maudlin weather.
CITRON. Excellent clean fresh East meets West flavours...different sorts of stuff i've not experienced before...go there, the tastes will BLOW you away
I read a recommendation for Citron online. When I Googled the restaurant and found their website, I naturally had a peak at their menu too. It was one of those menus that appealed to me right away. Even as I was perusing casually, I couldn't decide which

A recent Saturday night saw us dining with friends at Citron at Wilson. I've dined there before so it was a delight to return. The restaurant decor reminds me of eating on someone's verandah. It has a light open ambience and the service is friendly and pr
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!
