The compress is a mixture of garlic and chives and is an obscure spice known only in the countryside around Da Nang.
“Compress” represents our chef philosophy: to create delicious and beautiful dishes that highlight ingredients/techniques that are uncommon, overlooked and disappear in traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
Or sometimes inspiration simply comes from a memory she cherishes. Throughout that process, we try not to lose our identity and stay true to the essence of Vietnamese cuisine: freshness and balance of flavors.
Born and raised in Danang, Summer Le has always had a genuine love for food and is often considered the restaurant’s unofficial ambassador for Central cuisine.
After a decade of culinary adventures, from food blogging to running Danang food tours to hosting on Asian food channels and VTV, her passion for Vietnamese food has continued to grow and finally came to her, where she can do what she loves most: Freedom to express your creativity through food.
Our goal is to produce as many raw materials ourselves as possible. Most of the herbs, fruits, and flowers that we use for cooking are grown at home in above-ground gardens and on terraces.
We also pride ourselves on a wide range of homemade ingredients such as fish sauce, pickles, chutney, wine, etc. to ensure the best quality control and customization.
