About Us

Xuan Patisserie was established by chocolatier Xuan Ngo to fulfill the growing demand for artisan chocolates.

Ngo was born in Danang, Vietnam and grew up in Les Baux de Provence, France. There, he spent the summers of his childhood in the kitchen of Oustau de Baumaniére. Upon graduating high school, he went to work for Pâtisserie Lenôtre - a renowned Paris bakery.

Ngo then came to the United States to work at Daniel Boulud's restaurant Daniel in New York. During this time, he learned the art of making fine chocolates under pastry chef François Payard.

In 2000, he moved to Los Angeles to work at Spago. Wolfgang Puck had also worked at Baumaniére. After Spago, he worked at Sona and Boule. Xuan is now working at the Belvedere Restaurant in the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel.

Xuan has now opened his online chocolate store. He dreams one day to open up his own brick and mortar store selling chocolates and exquisite pastries.
