About Muoi Tieu
Muối Tiêu is a Vietnamese, woman-owned, family run Vietnamese food truck in Takoma Park. Like our name, our philosophy is simple:we want to bring classic, savory Vietnamese dishes to
our community. Born and raised in Minnesota, Owner/Chef Thuy-Tu Tran grew up cooking with her family. Over the years, she has continued to grow as a cook, hosting more and more elaborate dinner
parties for family and friends, including catering small events. Prior to starting Muối Tiêu, Thuy-Tu enjoyed a rewarding career spanning over a decade in nonprofit fundraising, which also
included a pivotal and transformative year-long detour as a sous chef at Doi Moi restaurant in DC. During the pandemic, Thuy-Tu felt a strong desire to bring the comforting Vietnamese dishes
she craved closer to her home in Takoma Park. Drawing on her cooking experience and inspiration from her family, she founded Muối Tiêu and launched the food truck in December 2022. The food truck has thrived thanks to the tremendous enthusiasm and support from the Takoma Park community.
