Sylvia Nguyen
CHEF, CREATOR, CULTURAL CONNECTOR
Jumping off from cherished family recipes, Sylvia Nguyen creates modern, playful twists that reflect her experience as a Vietnamese-Canadian and Third Culture Kid. This blend of curiosity, culture, and creativity is where she finds her greatest joy, exploring, experimenting, and staying endlessly curious in the kitchen.
But Sylvia’s not just here to make recipes. She’s here to make an impact.
What began as a personal mission to preserve the flavours and memories of her childhood has grown into Nguyen Food Stall, a platform where Sylvia shares her Vietnamese heritage, flavour memories, and her love for food as a vehicle for connection. Known for her modern, playful twists on traditional Vietnamese dishes, Sylvia blends heritage and creativity in a way that feels fresh, fun, and deeply personal. Her energy is infectious, her spirit is joyful, and her content is both comforting and wildly entertaining.
A former tech professional turned full-time creator, Sylvia has already made her mark on-screen and in culture. She has grew an engaged community of over 220,000 food lovers across social media in less than a year. She’s been featured on Breakfast Television, ETalk, Flavour Network, and Roku, and has partnered with top-tier brands including NFL, HexClad, Pepsi, Lee Kum Kee, Red Boat, Panasonic, and more.
As a chef, creator, cultural connector, event curator, and host, and an author in the making, Sylvia helps brands build not just content, but connection. Whether she’s developing a recipe, guiding an IRL experience, or anchoring a multi-platform story, she brings depth, delight, and meaning to every collaboration.
Her partnership sweet spot includes:
- Food, kitchen, and grocery
- Community-minded retail
- Culture-forward lifestyle
- Financial platforms empowering creators
- Travel and destination storytelling
- Home goods, appliances, and tools
- Bespoke content, evergreen series, and IRL experiences
