Our Story
"Our mission is to champion Asian culture and share its quality through food."
As most food stories do, ours begins with the home and our parents. Growing up, our co-founders distinctly remember mothers crafting savory Asian stews, a portion of which would always be frozen for later. Whenever life was busy, families would heat the frozen stews, add freshly cooked noodles and enjoy a quick, wholesome and delicious noodle soup at their convenience.
Life is fast in NYC. Too busy to cook daily, we were unexcited by what is often available - greasy take-out or store products with suspect quality/preservatives. So we borrowed Mom's cookbook and lovingly recreated her savory Asian soups that rejuvenate and restore.
By focusing on convenience and premium ingredients, we simply wish to help busy individuals #eatcleanfaster.
