NYC’s Home for All Things Pho || Eat Seeker: Di An Di

There’s more to a dish than what’s served on a plate. A chef’s food can act as a voice to share a story, whether that be a tale of identity crisis or a struggle to find a place in an established cuisine. Eat Seeker delves deeper into the meaning behind the dishes that represent the chef and looks at what motivates their cuisine.

When Tuan Bui and Dennis Ngo opened their first restaurant in New York, they quickly noticed that New York was not home to a large Vietnamese community like the ones they were accustomed to in their home states of Virginia and Texas. The owners of Di An Di grew to miss those communities, especially when it comes to the food. With their new restaurant, the goal is to showcase food from both from their travels to Vietnam, like their pho with scallions sliced on the bias, wok stir-fried beef and an egg yolk inspired by a bowl they slurped up at tiny shop in Hanoi, and dishes like dry chicken pho similar to one Tuan tried when he visited Houston years back. They hope that their food can help open New Yorkers' eyes to the versatility of Vietnamese cuisine and help build a strong Vietnamese community in the city.
