About Us

Culture & Craft

Nestled in the heart of Scottsdale, DEPWAH is a soulful, high-end Vietnamese-French dining experience where heritage and elegance meet in perfect balance. Inspired by the richness of Vietnamese tradition and the romance of French technique, our cuisine honors both lineage and innovation—each plate an homage, each flavor a conversation.

Bathed in natural light and layered with warm woods, soft greens, and subtle textures, the space itself feels like a deep breath—an atmosphere of ease, intention, and quiet luxury. DEPWAH welcomes you from sunrise to late night, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an after-dark menu designed to entice and restore.

At DEPWAH, we don’t just serve food—we serve energy.

History Fuels a Dream

I didn’t create DEPWAH to just serve food. I created it to hold people—like a memory, like a home, like a prayer answered through flavor.

I come from a lineage where food is language. Where the table is sacred, and meals carry stories that can’t always be spoken aloud. As a mother, I’ve learned how to nourish with presence. As a creative, I’ve learned how to build beauty from instinct. And as a visionary in hospitality, I’ve always believed that a dining space should shift something in you—not just fill you.

Love in Every Bite

DEPWAH is my soul’s fusion of Vietnamese roots and French elegance—two cultures rich in depth, texture, and ceremony. It’s a space born from intuition, built with intention, and designed to feed more than appetite. Every detail, from the muted greens to the flicker of late-night light, is about presence. Romance. Ritual. And release.

To me, DEPWAH is more than a restaurant. It’s a feeling. A portal. A love letter to the ones who crave experience with meaning—and to the ones becoming who they truly are.
