Nguyen’s

Located in Royal Heights, Nguyen’s is on the bleeding edge of the “new Emerald” nightlife. Nguyen’s neo-Asian decor and fusion cuisine is truly trendsetting, as other area clubs and would-be upscale restaurants race to copy its style and menu in the never-ending battle to stay hip.
Nguyen’s ascension in local pop culture stems from catching the moment that Emerald City's elite embraced the area’s Asian influences, but there’s more to the place than just hype. Proprietor Ellen Nguyen is a second-generation Vietnamese American raised in the Eastern District, giving her both a solid understanding of the city’s Asian influences as well as an outsider’s perspective on their traditionally Chinese and Japanese roots.
Ellen’s eclectic tastes are well-complimented by a solid business sense. Already lauded by customers and critics alike for having the city’s best seafood, Ellen is ever vigilant that the food and atmosphere remains top notch. Her commitment to excellence makes Nguyen’s a pricey experience that easily manages to be worth every penny—for the sheer uniqueness of the experience, if nothing else.
