Chef Ly Nguyen, also known as Mom, came to Canada in 1980 with nothing but a loving husband, new born baby and memories of cooking with her mom. 

Thankfully with the support from Canadian ‘Anh’ and ‘Chi’ (brothers and sisters) including settlement workers, small business owners, and fellow refugees, who helped navigate her young family with food, clothing, shelter and employment, eventually, they started a family business serving authentic Vietnamese food. 

Who knew she would be the one of the very first Vietnamese Canadian woman to earn a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and grew her family to over 100 young and inspiring leaders in the hospitality industry. 

“She’s taught us about family, resilience, and the power of discipline and hard work — through being the first one at the restaurant, and the last one to eat (and sleep) after her kids and grandkids. 

This Mother’s Day, we wish all of the mother-figures a day of reflection, celebrating all of your sacrifices and achievements as Mom, and much magical moments with your loved ones. May we all keep dreaming and making this life as positive and delicious for everyone! 

Happy Mother’s Day Mom, and to all mother-figures!”

Love, Vincent, Angela & Amelie 

PS. 2025, she got her very first chef coat, thank you @yesshefofficial 

PSS. This year Mother’s Day lands on the day our Dad passed away. It’s a special one because we know he has lit our path every step of the way. Love you too Daddy!
