I’ve lived in Saigon, Vietnam my whole life. My grandmother started a neighborhood restaurant there 60 years ago. She left the restaurant to my father, and he left it to me. Since then, cooking has become my life … and I love it! My restaurant in Saigon, Dong Hoa Xuan, has become quite popular in recent years.
Eleven years ago, I met my partner, Joe, in Saigon. We both LOVE Vietnamese food and we started our blog EatingSaigon.com. We rode the streets of Saigon on our motorbike enjoying and writing about amazing Saigon street food and small neighborhood restaurants. Now, Joe and I have relocated to Oakland. I love California and enjoy creating and sharing my favorite Vietnamese meals with my new neighbors. You can try my dishes here .. and my Oakland Restaurant Week specials!
