Vo Thi Bich Thuan

The Climb

Ownership of Vị Quê Kitchen gives Vo Thi Bich Thuan a platform for food that treats the familiar as something worth preserving. The kitchen’s logic is direct: everyday ingredients, handled with care, can still register as memorable. That approach keeps old family rhythms present inside a contemporary restaurant setting.

Today

As owner in Ho Chi Minh City, Vo Thi Bich Thuan leads Vị Quê Kitchen with a clear house identity. Her specialty is royal vegetable salad, a dish she describes plainly: “Goi rau tien vua can cool, detoxify and is good for the skin.” That description matches the dish’s role in her kitchen: fresh, seasonal, and positioned as part of a larger memory of restorative food rather than a decorative special.

Signature

Vo’s signature dishes include Goi rau tien vua. The dish gives Vị Quê Kitchen a recognizable register: ingredient-led, precise, and tied to the texture of remembered meals. It is the kind of specialty that defines a place by consistency more than by ornament.

In Their Words “Goi rau tien vua can cool, detoxify and is good for the skin.” “There is always one place that calls us back – the countryside… We never forget the meals our mothers made, the fresh vegetables our fathers carefully grew. Those simple dishes, made with love, shaped our memories.” In these lines, Vo Thi Bich Thuan frames the kitchen through countryside produce and family labor. The fresh vegetables, the careful growing, and the meals made with love are the practical material of the work she brings forward.

Recognition

Recognition for Vo Thi Bich Thuan is attached to that specialty and to a cooking memory shaped by fresh vegetables, countryside meals, and family labor. Vị Quê Kitchen’s appeal comes from that same source: a restaurant identity grounded in simple food, handled with care, and left close to its origins.
