Food Worth Gathering For

Big Boy started as a single kitchen with a stubborn belief: great ingredients, honest cooking, and a warm table can change someone's day. Fifteen years later, that belief still drives us.

Our Story

Big Boy opened its doors in 2010 with four tables, a wood-fired grill, and a team of three. The founder, Chef Minh, had spent a decade working in kitchens from Hội An to Hanoi and returned to Da Nang with one goal: serve food that felt like home.

Word spread quickly. Within a year, regulars were lining up before opening. We expanded thoughtfully—never chasing scale, always protecting quality. Today Big Boy seats 120 guests and has served over one million dishes, yet every plate still leaves the kitchen the same way it did in 2010: with care.
