About Us

Bạn Snack Bar is where Bạn — meaning “friends” — comes to life. Born from the energy of street markets, the joy of shared meals, and the artistry of modern dining, it’s a space rooted in community and warmth. We serve cozy bites and sweet treats with a plant-forward approach, honoring tradition while reimagining it for today.

Founded by Chef Richie Nguyen, whose career includes New York Times Top 100 restaurants and other renowned kitchens, Bạn Snack Bar reflects my vision for soulful, heritage-rooted flavors expressed through a modern lens. Each dish balances comfort and creativity, inviting guests to experience depth, warmth, and intention in every bite.

At Bạn, every little bite feels like a moment pulled fresh from the oven — gentle warmth, soft crumb, delicate sweetness, and textures that invite you to slow down. Each treat draws from markets, family kitchens, and the comfort of gathering together — brought to life in the heart of Miami.

This isn’t just a temporary space — it’s an invitation. A place where tradition meets creativity, where every meal sparks conversation about culture, craft, and connection. Every experience at Bạn celebrates comfort, flavor, and community in their most joyful, modern expression.

Whether these flavors feel familiar or brand-new, each visit is a journey — through story, memory, and friendship, one bite at a time.

Let’s eat.
