Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen LIC - Long Island City, NY

Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen in New York

Culinary tradition, carried with intention in Long Island City and Flushing

Cooking at our Vietnamese restaurant in Long Island City begins with family history, disciplined technique, and respect for ingredients. Chef Truong, born and raised in Vietnam, learned in his family’s kitchen before perfecting his skills in New York’s professional kitchens. His first restaurant opened in Flushing with his son, bringing that foundation forward in signature pho, bánh mì, and bánh xèo. Chef Papa Vietnamese Kitchen LIC continues that family-run story with warm hospitality and a casual, refined setting. Catering, private events, and online ordering make it easier to join the table in the way that fits your plans.
