Nominated for: BEST Vietnamese
Welcome to China Beach Bistro. Along the dragon's back, south of the old imperial city of Hue, lies the serene tranquility of China Beach. This famed beach (where the pristine blue water meets jungle-covered mountain cliffs) etched itself in the memory of Hiep Thi Le, who grew up just south on a sandbank of the Da Nang river called Song Hang.
Time has elapsed since Hiep relocated to America due to the Vietnam War. Hiep decided to open a restaurant showcasing authentic recipes from her family. Venice Beach reminded her of home and thus the name of her new restaurant "The China Beach Bistro," in fond memory of her past and appreciation of her present.
