Mike’s culinary journey is one of family, perseverance and faith. Immigrating to the United States from Vietnam as a young boy, he was instilled with the entrepreneurial spirit and the belief that through hard work he could provide a great life for himself, and most importantly provide for his growing family.
His restaurant was founded in 2003 and began as a food truck not far from where the HWY 6 store is located today. By providing quality dishes of fresh seafood and outstanding customer service, he was able to open a second truck two years later. He persevered through the rigors of starting one’s own business from scratch, and as a minority immigrant had faith that his hard work would pay off. Through support of the community, within four years he was able to open his HWY 6 location, and the rest as they say, is history.
During this time period Mike also pursued his passion of martial arts, amassing a combined 11-4 MMA record at the amateur and professional levels. He is well known in the local Houston martial arts community for his hard work, dedication and sacrifice. He is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a worlds medalist, most recently winning bronze at the 2021 NoGi World Championships.
Mike is a proud American, and his life inspires generations of young people and immigrants to be the best versions of themselves. His story embodies the ideals of the American spirit: liberty, self-government, equality, individualism, diversity, and unity. He looks forward to serving you and your family and sharing with you the same joy that he has been passionately providing his customers for almost two decades.
