Get to know me better

I am a New York based Vietnamese-American chef.

I have been a professional chef for a decade. My travels to France and Vietnam have inspired my cooking tremendously. My heart lies in the two. Often they coalesce to create unique dishes, but I prefer to cook classic dishes such as coq au vin or bun thit nuong authentically, the same way you would find in Burgundy or Saigon. The beauty lies in the history of the dish and the soul behind its cooking. It's as simple as that. And as difficult.

More about me

For me, cooking is...

a gateway into one's culture and history. Each dish has a memory attached, transporting the diner to another world or just back home to mom's table.

I learned to cook at...

New York's finest restaurants such as Frenchette and Cafe Carmellini. They have inspired me to cook classically and rustically, seasonal and soulful.

A cooking secret...

There is no secret to my cooking. I treat incredible ingredients simply and compose delicious and balanced meals that comfort and also delight.
