Hi, I’m Hoa.

For the past six years, I worked in the fashion industry as a model agent. But alongside that world, I was always cooking. What started as curiosity slowly became something deeper. In 2025, I decided to enroll at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City.

Now, I’m pursuing a new chapter through curated dinners and ongoing education. I want to learn as much as I possibly can about food — through travel, working alongside chefs, stepping into different kitchens, and continuing to refine my voice as a cook. Every restaurant, every collaboration, every meal is part of that journey.

I believe sharing food with others is one of the most intimate experiences we can offer. A meal holds memory, culture, vulnerability, and connection. My goal is to create food where that intimacy feels intentional and alive.

So if you’re looking for the best place to eat in New York City, come to My Kitchen.
