While studying haute French cuisine in culinary school, Tu David Phu never imagined he would one day return to the food he grew up on. His parents had fled Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island in 1977, and he was raised in West Oakland, where meals were made with seafood, seaweed, the family’s fish sauce, and his grandmother’s coconut vinegar.

Phu began his career working in Michelin-starred kitchens, including under renowned chef Daniel Boulud in New York, and later led the kitchen at Gather in Berkeley. However, after years of personal growth and overcoming hardships, he found his way back to his culinary roots, creating dishes that reflect his heritage and identity.

Now, Phu is on a mission to elevate Vietnamese cuisine, striving for it to be appreciated on the same level as Japanese and Italian cuisine.

A location with plenty of natural light offers significant benefits in interior design.

In a restaurant, natural ligh t creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere for guests. It makes the space feel open and inviting, while enhancing the dining experience by showcasing the colors and textures of the food and décor.

Using large windows or skylights can brighten the interior, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day. This not only saves energy but also adds a warm, natural vibe that enhances comfort and aesthetic appeal.
