About Us | Hood to Hanoi

Hood to Hanoi

The inspiration for Hood to Hanoi flows directly from the heart of Baltimore's "Hood" food scene – a dynamic culinary world that defines my roots. I grew up immersed in a unique fusion: the comforting embrace of Black American soul food, the lively beat of Caribbean spices, and the nuanced artistry of Asian cooking.

This profound inspiration sparked Hood to Hanoi's concept: to not merely serve food, but to celebrate, elevate, and creatively fuse these powerful culinary legacies. I pour passion into every dish, ensuring it's bursting with flavor, made with the freshest ingredients, and always protein-forward for a truly satisfying experience. And just as important, our generous portions are a deliberate echo of the abundance and community spirit often found in our neighborhoods – places that, despite their culinary richness, contend with being food deserts. Come taste the story of Hood to Hanoi.
