Chef Richard Van Le’s culinary journey is as rich and layered as the dishes he creates. From his early days in his beloved food truck Matta PDX to the opening of his first brick-and-mortar restaurant, Memoire Cà Phê, Richard’s story is one of passion, family, and an unshakable love for food.
Memoire Cà Phê is more than a restaurant—it’s an homage to his heritage, memories, and the flavors that have shaped him. Each dish tells a story, blending tradition with innovation and inviting diners to experience the heart and soul of Vietnamese cuisine through Richard’s eyes.
