SUSHI CHINOISE - Key Persons
Chef, restaurateur, and Northwest culinary influencer Thoa Nguyen was born in Saigon and raised in Cho Lon, the city's Chinatown district. In April 1975, at the age of 11, Thoa and her family left Vietnam for America and settled in Denver, Colorado. She then moved to Washington State in 1991 and quickly fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and the bounty found in its fields, pastures, and waters.
