About Us


For most, the story of Chau is what lies on the plate in front of you. My story, however, began when my mother was only 13 years old, and discovered her passion for food while working at a soup-stall on the streets of Saigon. It was at this soup-stall that my parents met, and their journey together began.

In 1978, after fleeing the country by boat, my family opened Café Chau at a refugee camp in Indonesia. And while uncertainty and fear undoubtedly filled the minds of everyone inside the camp, my mother always firmly believed that a good warm meal was one of the few comforts in life. She would put smiles on faces using only her two hands - and that was something she cherished.In my family, we have always believed that Vietnamese cooking and a complete dining experience can co-exist together in one space. Now that Chau is built, the ability to share a small piece of our belief with everyone has become reality rather than ambition. So from my family, we hope you enjoy your experience here at Chau, and thank you for allowing our story to continue on...
