HOI VU, Chef

Hoi has been a dedicated contributor to the growth of our team, demonstrating his talent and leadership throughout his career. He was instrumental in setting up The East Restaurant in Hanoi, successfully leading the kitchen team. Within just six months of its grand opening, the restaurant was listed among the 25 best upmarket restaurants on the Michelin list for 2022.

Following this achievement, Hoi brought his expertise to New Zealand, where he worked at Vietflames for two years before moving to Germany to become the head chef at Vinrice in Erfurt.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, Hoi has served as a head chef and executive chef in up-market settings, including a 5-star cruise in Ha Long Bay. Beyond his technical skills, he has a ability to train and mentor kitchen teams under various setups, ensuring their success.

Hoi’s knowledge and passion for Vietnamese cuisine, particularly Northern Vietnamese dishes and fusion concepts, make him qualified to bring any Vietnamese culinary vision to life.
