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.
