Our Culinary Journey Began with a Family Legacy

Bao Ngon’s essence is a story that stretches from the vibrant streets of Vietnam to the dynamic mosaic of Melbourne, Australia. As first-generation immigrants, we, Bao and Nhung, carry with us the rich culinary heritage of our homeland, infused with the dreams and determination of those who have ventured far to build a new life.

Our childhoods, framed by the warmth and hustle of family-run restaurants, gifted us not just a love for Vietnamese cuisine but a deep understanding of the power of food to connect and comfort.

The Essence of Our Name

At the heart of Bao Ngon lies a name rich in meaning and tradition. In Vietnamese, “Bao” signifies protection, assurance, and a promise of quality, echoing our commitment to culinary excellence. “Ngon” translates directly to 'delicious,' reflecting our dedication to creating dishes that delight and inspire. Together, “Bao Ngon” symbolises our pledge to offer an experience of guaranteed deliciousness, blending authentic Vietnamese flavours with a touch of innovation.

Embracing Tradition, Inspiring Innovation

Vietnamese cuisine, with its intricate balance of flavours and textures, has always been our anchor and our inspiration. It's the subtle art of seasoning, the bold use of tropical herbs, and the communal joy of a shared meal that define our culinary philosophy.

In Australia, we found a vibrant canvas for our creativity, a place where the spirit of Vietnamese cuisine could mingle with the diverse tastes of our new home. Our mission at Bao Ngon is to bridge these worlds, offering dishes that are at once familiar and surprising, comforting and adventurous.

Bao Ngon: A Culinary Bridge Between Cultures

Bao Ngon is more than a catering service; it’s a mission to bridge cultures through food. Our goal is to transform every event into a vibrant celebration of Vietnamese cuisine reimagined with a modern twist.

Quality, authenticity, and a dash of creativity are the cornerstones of our approach, ensuring each dish not only delights the palate but also tells a story.
