Our Story

Cường (Owner) and Sammy (Owner/Executive Chef): “Born and raised in Vietnam, my childhood was filled with vivid memories of my dad (Ông Lắm) driving me around Saigon to eat all the ‘OG’ food and I can easily say that’s where my love for Vietnamese food is rooted. With my husband, Cuong, we want to be able transport our guests to the streets of Vietnam through our authentic (but elevated) Vietnamese cuisine and our Vietnamese street eats atmosphere. There’s something so special about bringing people together through food and we want to offer flavors that are reminiscent to the ones you find in homes and on the streets of Vietnam. We want to share with Seattle, that there is more to Vietnamese cuisine than just Pho. 

With my passion for cooking and entrepreneurship and Cuong’s proven success in the restaurant industry, we are excited and committed to make this vision a reality.”
