OUR STORY
Saigonese Eatery was born out of Thao's deep connection to Vietnamese heritage and her culinary exploration abroad. It merges South East flavors with a modern, international touch.
Growing up in Vietnam, she was surrounded by vibrant markets, street vendors, and the family rituals of shared meals. After years of living and working abroad in cities like Singapore, Sydney, Thao returned to Vietnam with a vision: to craft a dining experience that merges the authentic flavors of Asia with a modern, international touch.
"Thao brings a global perspective from years in international kitchens. Her heartfelt, creative approach shapes the eatery vision."
