Ba Sa is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant on Bainbridge Island, created by siblings Trinh and Thai Nguyen as the next chapter of their family's culinary journey.

Our story began with our parents, Rang Nguyen and Huyen Tran, who arrived in Washington in 1998 after a long journey from Vietnam. From making bánh mì and preparing food in refugee camps to working in kitchens throughout Seattle, food has always been at the heart of our family. In 2005, they opened Pho T&N in Poulsbo, turning a lifelong dream into a place where food, family, and community come together.

Building on that foundation, we opened Ba Sa in 2019 with a vision to celebrate Vietnamese cuisine through a fresh perspective. Rooted in the flavors and traditions we grew up with, our menu brings together Vietnamese culinary heritage, French influences, and the exceptional seasonal ingredients of the Pacific Northwest.

In 2026, siblings and chefs Trinh and Thai Nguyen were named James Beard Award semifinalists for Best Chef: Northwest & Pacific, a recognition of their dedication to Vietnamese cuisine and their commitment to honoring tradition while exploring its endless possibilities.

At Ba Sa, we believe dining is about more than great food. It's about gathering, sharing, discovering new flavors, and creating meaningful connections around the table.
