BLOOM means "Because Love Overcomes One's Misfortune". Inspired by the concept that emphasizes empowerment through providing accessible health care, nutrition, education, and hands-on experience - Aid for Children Without Parents (ACWP- www.acwp.org) first developed BLOOM, a vocational training restaurant in Hue to complete the cycle of empowerment for the disadvantaged children in Vietnam. Our vision has now expanded to the beautiful city of Saigon, where we opened a restaurant, Bloom Saigon, that continues our mission to provide a culinary training facility for these young individuals to learn and grow. The experience at this restaurant will provide the disadvantaged young adults with practical tools and materials to learn specific skills that will enable them to market themselves in the real working world, as well as seek out ways to help prevent children from being trafficked.

Our chefs concoct mouth watering dishes using top quality meats and no additives, such as MSG. Our food reflects our commitment to exceptional quality. All meals are prepared under the guidance of Asian Fusion Executive Chef Jacqueline Kieu and French Executive Chef Hung Tu, with a passion for perfection. Both have brought their vision of innovative food presentation and fresh ingredients to BLOOM Catering Service in the USA, as well as BLOOM Saigon in Vietnam, creating a thoroughly modern take on classic Vietnamese flavors. Bloom's service offers a charming, comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and balances the elegant fare on the menu, which serves a sumptuous selection of dishes from within a quaint setting in an old colonial villa.
