About this Event
Many people consider California vietnamese cuisine to be the best in the country. Chef John would like to prove otherwise.
Join us for a meal beyond the usual at Chef Papa. A bowl of Phở made using a recipe passed down and enhanced through the Truong family's history. A recipe that is more complex and true to the Vietnamese ideal.
What to expect:
Appetizer - Chả Giò, shrimp & pork or vegetable.
Entree - Phở from the heart of Vietnam and the Truong family.
Dessert - Chè Thái, a traditional dessert not featured on the Chef Papa menu.
Drinks are not included in the ticket, but may be ordered during your meal.
How it works:
A ticket will secure a meal at the desired 50 minute time slot.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your time slot for organizational purposes.
Group dining is encouraged, but solo attendees may have to share a table with another due to table availability.

Chef Papa:
At the heart of Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen is Chef Truong, affectionately known as Chef Papa.
Born and raised in Vietnam, Chef Truong developed his passion for cooking in his family’s kitchen, where recipes were passed down through generations. After moving to New York, he refined his skills in professional kitchens, blending traditional Vietnamese techniques with the precision and discipline of the city’s dynamic culinary scene.
Today, his cooking reflects both heritage and mastery — honoring authentic flavors while presenting them with balance, depth, and consistency.
