Meet The Chef
Welcome! I'm Viet, proudly born and raised in the Bay Area, California. Growing up, fine dining was never an option for our family, so going to a restaurant was quite a luxury. As I got older, I began to try different foods from around the world, and explored new techniques of cooking. And now I want to share my culinary journey with you, from my very own place, Royal Oxen Kitchen!
Food is so universal - it is the language that everyone understands. It has become the center of social gatherings, and now appreciated more than ever.
From comforting home cooked dishes to a culinary fine dining experience,
let's find a reason to celebrate!
From our kitchen to yours!

Holy smokes. If you need want really high quality wagyu and steaks... you came to the right place. Not only is the chef knowledgeable about his wagyu. But he knows exactly how to prepare you a fine dining meal. The quality of beef is outstanding!! Thank you Royal Oxen Kitchen for showing me the right way to enjoy wagyu !!! Wag-yu thinkin about? Hit them up ! It's a must ! - Wilson, Oakland
Chef Viet was amazing! Family and friends hosted a surprise upscale private dinner before my fiancé and I officially tie the knot. Chef Viet was professional, courteous, outgoing, and went the extra mile. The food was delicious and there was nothing we did not like. The pairings he chose for each plate were beyond words. In addition, his plating presentations were IG worthy. I would highly recommend him for your next private event! - Jerome, Hayward
