Nguyen first gained recognition via TikTok for her authentic home cooking which features dozens of simple yet sophisticated recipes for all experience levels.

Since then, the social media star has hosted a number of sold-out pop-ups at the very space that will soon become her new concept. 

Now, as a chef-partner with The h.wood Group, Nguyen plans to create a 90-seat homage to traditional Vietnamese romance and architecture, with h.wood handling cocktails and overall operations while Nguyen keeps busy with food and menu creation.
