Vietnam Restaurant

Our Story

Vietnam Restaurant, situated in the heart of downtown Corpus Christi, is far more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. Founded by Chef Tony Lam and his sister Lien, the restaurant is a culmination of their lifelong passion for Vietnamese cuisine, honed through years of working in their family's restaurant in Vietnam before the year 1975. After relocating to Corpus Christi from San Francisco in 1995, they poured their hearts and souls into creating a restaurant that would showcase the vibrant flavors and aromatic spices of their homeland.

A Culinary Journey

Chef Tony Lam's philosophy is rooted in the belief that food is not just sustenance, but an art form.
