We’re honoured to be featured in the Vancouver Sun’s article, “21 Women Who Have Made a Mark in B.C.’s Restaurant Scene.” Among the inspiring women recognized is our very own Chef Ly Nguyen—matriarch of Anh and Chi, mom to everyone on the team, and a powerhouse force who you'll STILL find on the floor! Her dedication, warmth, and passion for Vietnamese cuisine continue to shape everything we do.


"She and husband Hoang operated the super successful Pho Hoang Vietnamese restaurant. When he died unexpectedly, she ran it on her own until her son and daughter pivoted from their careers, rebranded it to Anh and Chi, with mom performing her magic in the kitchen, attracting daily lineups, and winning a Michelin Bib Gourmand." - Mia Stainsby, Vancouver Sun
