Our Story
From Global Hospitality to Your Table
Dairy-free, high-protein, plant-rich food — built by two people who spent their careers feeding everyone else's guests, then decided to feed yours.
Green Monkey Saigon wasn't born in a boardroom — it was born at our family dinner table. We're Ngoc and Vuko: partners in life, parents, and founders. After years running five-star hospitality across three continents, we opened a small dairy-free café in Thao Dien in 2021, on nothing more than a conviction that Ho Chi Minh City deserved food that's genuinely good for you — and genuinely worth craving. Four years and two locations later, that conviction is still the whole business plan.
5-Star DNA
Decades of general management in luxury hospitality, from resorts to our own kitchen. We run a café the way we'd run a five-star property: with standards, not shortcuts.
Worldwide Culinary Experience
Culinary inspiration from west to east, from Portugal to Singapore, translated into a dairy-free menu built for Saigon.
100% Intentional
Every dish is a personal commitment to dairy-free, high-protein, plant-rich living — because we cook what we actually feed our own family.
