Hiep Truong’s path into cooking began with curiosity. Raised in Đồng Nai, he discovered the kitchen early and has continued learning ever since.

At Upstairs Tasting Room, exploration shapes the work. New ingredients, techniques, and ideas become part of an ongoing process of refinement.

The role of head chef brought new responsibilities. The questions remain.Each service becomes part of the process.

Each dish raises new questions.

“I’m still learning.”
