    "You know it's Vietnamese when the other half sells nail supply."
    This had me cracking up because it's so true! 💯 😂

    As a first generation Vietnamese Canadian, and former Chef, this was so enjoyable to watch. Happy for Tam and Tam TAm.

    His passion is so infectious and he is so excited about what he’s doing, and that’s what makes him so passionate. He’s so adorable and congratulations to him and his husband.

    I can hear his enthusiasm, passion, humor, and humility through and through.
    Us Vietnamese kids grow up with nostalgia, street food (and quán nhậu) culture, and the immigrant dream. Chef Tam made it with love, care, and passion.
    His restaurant is an outstanding example of the American dream.
    Thank you Bon Appetit for this documentary.

    Love Bon Appetit highlighting the Miami food scene recently.
    Another dope fact about Tam Tam, they have a karaoke setup in one of the bathrooms. They've definitely curated a fun environment along with their amazing menu.

    I love that he is so intentional with where he gets his ingredients, it’s shows how much he cares about the food. Also that he puts his own spin on some of the menu items but still has traditional Vietnamese dishes. As someone that’s half Vietnamese and white passing, I’m used to having to ask for fish sauce at some Vietnamese restaurants because they assume I wouldn’t like it so it brings me joy that he isn’t afraid to use these ingredients that are so key to the dishes and introducing people to new amazing flavors

    Went here in March and it was some of the best food I’ve ever had! The scallops and betel leaf lamb were incredible. I’m sure it’s going to be one of the hardest reservations to get in Miami soon.

    I love all the videos like this that BA puts out, but this one is hands down my favourite. Tam has such warmness and wisdom that radiates throughout the video. I hope to be able to eat here one day !!!!

    Vietnam being a humid place also contributing to the taste of preserving food, since fresh food do not store long in the environment.

    Went to Miami for the first time back in 2018 and didn't recall people being too friendly to my kind (Vietnamese)... hopefully with the (positive) way social media has influenced people and created exposure to folks they aren't familiar with/interact with on a consistent/regular basis, perhaps, my next go round in So Flo. with be a tad more savory. Kudos to Tam and his culinary operation... show them south easterners we're not so bad of a peoples.
