- Dennis Ngo, executive chef of Di An Di in Greenpoint, NY, takes his staff on a night out to experience the new generation of Vietnamese restaurants in New York City, far beyond banh mi and pho.
They start the night at An Choi, a vibrant street-style Vietnamese restaurant where Dennis and his restaurant crew first met. They enjoy shots of snake wine and bar snacks like fish sauce wings and taro fries. Then they visit friend and fellow chef Helen Nguyen at her new, unopened restaurant Saigon Social. The crew shares a bottle of fernet with Helen as they tour her new space and talk the future of Vietnamese restaurant dining.
The group gets larger as more friends join them at Madame Vo BBQ, where they sample bo bay mon (7-course beef dinner) and whole crispy grilled catfish. The food crawl continues at Van Da, a small-plates restaurant that highlights the central region of Vietnamese cuisine with delicate, intricate dishes like Banh it (sticky rice dumplings) and pho short rib grilled cheese. To end the night, Dennis and his team return to Di An Di for a party filled with co-workers and friends, ending the night with karaoke and a late-night meal featuring broiled cheesy oysters, slow cooked pork, and more.

I think by far, this Night Out video has being the most vivid representation of what the environment of a restaurant SHOULD LOOK/FEEL like. Makes me think about my business that I ought to do the same. Very very nice representation. Keep up the good work, to the Chefs here and to the individuals who bring forth this footage.
It always makes it feel real and relatable, and fun. That how I try to make my restaurant videos as well so people can feel the experience as much as possible
The Entrepreneur Way im totally agree
Christine Ha’s presentation of her first dish on MasterChef... one of the greatest moments on food-television.
One of my favorite Chefs Night Out, hands down. Love the tight community of Vietnamese hospitality folks.
This one is special. What wholesome content. Wish them all the success's
Wow one of the best episodes of Chefs Night Out. And what a great chef/owner spending the whole night giving shout outs to those who have helped him come out and paying it forward by spotlighting the newer Viet restaurants in nyc. Not to mention consistently giving the credit to his employees for his success.
with this guys mindset that its a team effort not one single persons....he will go far in life
Proud of the New York Vietnamese community. Keep up the good work!!!
Do you know any good Viet places in LA? I'm looking for my food adventures for my page.
Rockstar Eater I’m actually not from LA. I’m from Houston. However, after going there, if you want really good Vietnamese, you have to Garden Grove or Westminster area. It’s a about 30 mins outside LA. A few restaurants I can name are Brodards, Garlic and Chives and one spot called Oc and Lau, a hotpot/snail restaurant. 😀
@@RockstarEater Pho79 won a James Beard. There's also Golden Deli in Monterey Park (get the fried egg roll). New Noodle City is my favorite cheap option. KTown pho if you want to stay in LA proper. Also I've heard great things about Oc and Lau and want to go!
@@guru_pete Wow, sounds great. I heard of Garlic and Chives from others, so probably will have to try it. I cover restaurants in LA, so please do follow in if you want to see some great features on the westside!
That Johnny hyungh guy from the first restaurant was v familiar and I was right bc munchies did a autobiographical vid on him few years back and it’s crazy that this vid is about his mentor. Crazy to see how far he’s come and like this vid is my fav chefs night out. Warmed my heart
The Sous Chef Gerald seemed like a pretty cool guy. I hope he eventually branches out when he's ready to start his own restaurant
Amazing how they went by their friends place that wasn’t open yet because they knew it would be great publicity for when it did open, real friends right there
Damn homeboys fade is extra CRISPY
This Night Out is one of the best out there 👌🏽
Finally a group of chefs that i can relate too. Second generation of Vietnamese American show casing the traditional vietnamese food in a new light...Love it.
How kind and respectful this chef is : ' )
Nice to see the food and also the people behind it sharing their experiences. Shows you how much the two can be connected sometimes.
Nothing like food and company. That's why I love doing collaborations for my episodes.
I am glad to see these Vietnamese restauranteurs, to motivate me to continue working in the business .
What a great leader being proud of his heritage and also supporting his ecosystem of chefs of the same Vietnamese heritage - hats off to you chef.
Wow. I love everything about what Dennis and his team seem to be about. He is clearly a cut above and young chefs should be clamoring to be apart of what he's doing.
I love Chefs Night Out, and this was one of the best episodes yet.
Christine Ha!! I was so excited to see her!
I love this episode. Highlighting my cultural food, not bastadisedx not gentrified... but serving traditional food in a contemporary setting in NYC! Inspired!
Loves that the Viets made it, this is truly wholesome to watch, tuyet voi !!
Awesome video. Can’t wait to try this place and all the other spots in this video!
I definitely need to surround myself with people like that💜💜 very beautiful they trust each other and have good intentions on each other💜💜😌
This is awesome
I also recommend Little Sister restaurant in Los angeles. Very similar to the modern vibe of this place.
Togetherness......This defines it!!!
Great episode y'all, keep 'em comin!
These are the coolest people ever! What a rad chef/boss.. Good luck to everyone on this episode. Next time I’m in NYC I’m stopping by!

Arguably the best chiefs night out I've seen!
Hm I remember Johnny'sstory instantly from this channel a while back, I was wondering what had happened to his restaurant Lucy's Place, wanted to try it out; but was listed as permanently closed. Guess he moved onto here, hope he's doing good!

The guy in the blue jacket is cuteeee asf
Very beautiful wholesome video in this series! With that said if my man don't open another restaurant/bar called "SnAKe" he missing out.
Mình đã xem chương trình này đã lâu, và lần đầu gặp được 1 tập về ẩm thực Việt Nam. Love you
Yes teamwork is better than one talented person
I agree. I wish I had more on my team so I wouldn't have to be a one man show on my channel. :(
Yummy yes learning different foods is the very best✌👍🍴
Seriously. It's videos like this that inspired me to be a LA food vlogger. It's a new experience each time.

Very very sociable and loveable man this is. Gotta say he reminds me of that villain from far cry tho 😅
A joy to see such passion for the trade and each other. R E S P E C T
I can totally relate to the food they had in their childhood.
The single greatest food show in the history of food or shows.
Yep, I agree (mine is a close second. Haha).
super pleasant and nice
i really hope saigon social opens up amid the great restaurant depression, really want to try them out :(
Hey he said 'banh mi' right this time.
Good job
The background music when they go to Saigon Social..! It sounds vaguely familiar! I wonder what it is…
The amount of Fernet in this video makes me feel right at home
Wuddup Kim Smooth! 😉
Johnny Huynh is cute as hell
i think they talking about bo cua cop for that gambling game remember playing that with my family during gatherings even as a kid hahaha
As a Viet in Denmark.. I feel the power :D !
my homie brought a bottle like this and that shit was strong
Dennis ngo, I think he was mentioned in a vice video by that other viet dude johnny huynh who has a restaurant in bushwick
he def plays for the pink team

This chef's night out is the difference between a chef's night out and an investors night out..
Fernet + Coca-Cola = life
Homeboy with the white Tee is smashed af lol

Whoa, never knew there were that many VN in the BK.

If I was Quan Ngo I would be pursuing that modeling contract part time, and have two bags restaurant and modeling💰💰 lol.
