My name is Tom, and this is my family business!

Next year, Saigon Star turns 40 years old.

My dad, Bill, opened Saigon Star in 1987 after escaping Vietnam following the war and coming to Canada with next to nothing but a dream of building a better life for our family.

Nearly four decades later, that dream has become our family's legacy.

As my dad gets close to retirement, I'm stepping in to carry that legacy forward and lead Saigon Star into its next generation. I have some pretty big shoes to fill, but I'm incredibly proud to continue what he started almost 40 years ago.

And I want to take you along for the journey.

Over the next year, I'll be taking you behind the scenes of what it's really like taking over a 40 year old family restaurant, sharing the stories, people, food, challenges, and memories that made Saigon Star what it is today.

This is our #JourneyTo40Years.

If Saigon Star has been part of your life over the years, I'd love to hear your story in the comments. Whether you've been coming since the early days or just discovered us recently, it means so much knowing that we've been able to share meals, celebrations, milestones, and memories with so many of you.

Here's to the first 40 years and, hopefully, another 40 together! 🙌

"For those of us who travel, the act of going, exploring, and sitting at a table in a far-flung land—or simply around the corner—is a form of nourishment and sustenance, even before the first course is served."

For our summer edition, we’re serving up the world on a plate: chasing down the elegant coastal flavours of Ningbo and Stockholm’s culinary underground; discovering Toronto’s high-end comfort food alongside Ottawa’s latest master chef debut; and wandering from the historic urban vineyards of Vienna to the sun-drenched vines of Canada’s Niagara.

In her opening letter, our Editor-in-Chief @vivianvassos shares her own moment of slow-travel nourishment—baking traditional bannock over an open flame at a Métis woodland retreat. Plus, we seek out the romantic Caribbean escapes redefining modern island intimacy.
