It is well known that 1D quantum critial systems are described by 2D cft. Could 2D critical quantum system be described by 3D conformal field theory?

Yes. However, this does not mean that all 3+1 dimensional theories with a CFT on their boundary can be described using a conformal field theory. A large amount of evidence suggests that they cannot in general.
