"Living in Hoi An since the 17th century, with a background of half Chinese - half Vietnamese, our family have created an unique cooking style, which’s combined Chinese exquisite recipe with Vietnamese fresh and delightful ingredients. The image of my Grandma cooking with all her affection in our little kitchen has gotten deep in my mind and become a great motivation for me. She taught me to always put effort, concentration, and most of all, the love into each dish to make. That's the most valuable recipe I got from her", said Uy

What makes each dish become lively and unique is the sauce. From the starter such as “Nộm”, to the main course like Barbecues, they all cannot be accomplished without their special sauces. That is also what makes Secret Garden distinctive.

Added to that, with all the plants and settings preserved carefully by generations, you will also feel the vibe of Vietnamese culture when enjoying meals here.
