Quyen Trinh, Anise®’s Owner and Executive Chef, was from Saigon, Vietnam’s largest city. With a population of over 8 million, Saigon is not only Vietnam’s financial hub, but it is also Vietnam’s cultural center with arts, plays, music, and of course, culinary excellence. When migrants from all over Vietnam moved to Saigon to find better economic opportunities, they also inadvertently brought their favorite food with them. Over time, Saigon turned into the mecca of Vietnamese cuisine. As a native of Saigon, Quyen got to sample the best in Vietnamese fares right outside her doors and has acquired a love for fine Vietnamese dining ever since.

In America, Quyen decided to formalize her love for fine dining by enrolling in the prestigious Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, Colorado. Armed with her newly acquired western culinary education and experiences in some of the best restaurant establishments in Denver, Quyen takes the best of Vietnamese food and created Anise®, Modern Vietnamese Eatery.
