Show Notes

Monica Wong and Quynh Nguyen are the founders of a Little Green Cyclo. 

I met Monica and Quynh back in the day in 2010 when they first started with their first Vietnamese food truck serving delicious Banh Mi and various dishes. Monica grew up on the East Coast where her family owned one of the first Chinese restaurants in downtown Boston. Monica worked many years in finance, before deciding to get back in the food business. Quynh grew up in Saigon, Vietnam and spent most of her childhood playing table tennis for her country’s National Team. After moving to the states working various jobs and Quynh then opened her own a Cajun restaurant in San Jose,CA. Quynh then joined forces with Monica and started Little Green Cyclo.

After 13 years of business, Monica and Quinn have created not only one of the original Vietnamese Food trucks in the San Francisco Bay Area; but also now have a full service bistro and their own brand of award winning ready-to-drink Vietnamese Coffee. 

I really enjoyed sitting down with Monica and Quynh after being a customer for so many years. It was great to have them their story and appreciate them for all their support in my journey as well.
