Cu Nguyen, a gifted chef in the skill and mastery of Vietnamese cuisine, set forth to introduce the delights of her knowledge of flavors and combinations incorporating those of French and Indochina along with traditional favorites, while creating delicate variations of her own. She rapidly gained a following of enthusiastic patrons. Despite the fact she raised six children at the same time, it never seemed to deter her from the main goal of master chef of Le Bambou. In fact the family is the backbone of their continued success. In 1986, at the urging of an enthusiastic following of patrons, Andrew and his family , encouraged by their growing popularity expanded their possibilities for greater success by moving the restaurant to Del Mar where it has known greater popularity than ever.
