NUE Elegantly Vietnamese

NUE Elegantly Vietnamese is a modern Vietnamese restaurant located in Falls Church, Virginia. Founder Tuyet Nhi Le, a young Vietnamese-American woman, is passionate about sharing her family’s story and the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam through food and the arts.

NUE restaurant is named after the founder's Great Grand Uncle Le Pho’s masterpiece “Nue,” French for “nude.” Le Pho, who was perhaps the pioneer for Vietnamese modern art, is founder's main inspiration for the brand's bold attempt to redefine modern Vietnamese cuisine and to serve beautiful stories of people of Vietnamese origin through deeply contemplated fine food, elegant hospitality, and meaningful events. NUE is an exploration for one's expression of the Vietnamese American identity and to reclaim a part of our past and present that makes us who we are today.
