Hi! Welcome to the Ugly Bao!
At The Ugly Bao, we are passionate about bringing modern, elevated Vietnamese cuisine to the world. Every dish we create is a labor of love, inspired by our founder, Linda, and her mom, Kim, who blend the rich traditions of Vietnamese flavors with a modern twist. We obsess over the quality of our ingredients to ensure every bite is an experience—one that feels like home.
But our mission goes beyond food. We believe businesses have a profound
responsibility to uplift their communities. That’s why we are committed to hiring, training, and empowering individuals who have faced barriers to employment. Through career development and support, we strive to provide meaningful opportunities for those eager to grow.
At The Ugly Bao, we’re not just serving food—we’re building a community, one bao at a time.
