Meet the Masters Behind the Buffet: Head Chef Long and Executive Chef Benoit

At Saigon Kitchen, two talented chefs work hand in hand to create something extraordinary.

Together, they create a buffet that bridges global sophistication and local authenticity.

“At Saigon Kitchen, my goal is to create a buffet that offers not just variety but also an unforgettable experience,” says Chef Benoit. His mastery of international cuisines allows him to blend flavors effortlessly, from Asian marinades for seafood to classic French techniques for steak. His French heritage shines in the Béarnaise and beurre blanc sauces and the charcuterie section featuring pâtés, terrines, and foie gras. “Incorporating herbs like tarragon and thyme, along with ingredients like shallots and garlic, brings a French flair to the dishes,” he explains.

For Head Chef Long, cooking is deeply personal. “Food has always made me happy,” he shares. Inspired by his mother’s cooking, he describes her kitchen as a magical place where flavors, tradition, and love blended seamlessly. “Her food was amazing—it made me want to come home. It’s also what inspired me to become a chef,” he says.

Long’s passion shines in his ability to showcase Vietnam’s culinary diversity. With fine-sourced ingredients and a rotating menu, Saigon Kitchen offers Vietnamese specialties like Pho Bo, Goi Cuon, and Banh Mi, along with unique dishes from every region of the country. “I’m addicted to Vietnamese food,” he admits, with a smile. His personal favorites? Banh Beo, a comforting dish from his childhood, and classics like Com Tam and Pho Bo.
