Our Story

My parents left everything to start a new life here in America and their only connection to their homeland was our family recipes. We would gather together every weekend and it was like having a little bit of home in a new place. As the years passed, our holiday gatherings became an amazing mix of Vietnamese food and traditional American food.

Miss Ha is the name that my mom was known by from her co-workers and customers alike at the old piggly wiggly on meeting street. She worked there every day of the week with a giant smile and was a fixture at the store. Her egg rolls made it into the deli case over time and when she got home from work she dove right into making food for us.

And today, our family offers fresh Vietnamese cuisine inspired from my heritage. Served in our beautiful modern & comfortable restaurant with seasonal food specials, a full bar [import & craft beer, liquor & signature cocktails, sake, and wine. happy hour every day] and from time to time, events & pop-up collaborations with other local chefs. we also offer catering for private events (all sizes) and cooking classes. everything is inspired by the food that is so important to my family, led by my mom -the original Miss Ha.

We hope that by being authentic to ourselves and our roots we can bring another facet to the culinary gem we now call home, Charleston- alongside our fellow Vietnamese restaurants.
