Our story
Saigon Recipes brought to the Bay Area
Ao Sen means "Lotus Pond" in Vietnamese - a symbol of strength and growth. Just as a lotus blooms from muddy waters, our family's story blossomed from challenging times in Saigon.
Our family immigrated to America during the Vietnam War and brought the rich culinary traditions of South Vietnam with them along with a dream of sharing these classic flavors with a new community. We opened Phở Ao Sen to serve the exact dishes our family grew up enjoying the 24+ hour simmered pho, the fresh herbs, and traditional recipes passed down through 3 generations.
Since 2001, we have served the Bay Area with the freshest ingredients and a commitment to quality. Like many of you, the restaurant have experienced challenges and understand difficult economic times. While we have had to raise our prices we're committed to the belief that everyone should be able to enjoy our food. We kept the price of our best-selling item, phở and all soup options as low as our margins can handle.
Today, every bowl of phở, every dish we prepare, comes from Ao Sen, from us to you. We are completely family owned and operated, and each bowl of broth is simmered for 24+ hours. Each recipe, carefully preserved over decades, tells the story of our family's journey and our commitment to authenticity.
