An authentic Vietnamese restaurant, Mama\u2019s Pho House, has come to Malta. Mama is Nga Nguyen ( \u201cGraceful Win\u201d), whose first restaurant fulfills a lifetime dream.<\/p>\n

Pho is the brothy noodle dish that has gained popularity everywhere. Already customers are coming up from Albany and down from Lake George and Montreal to visit her restaurant since the September 10th opening, Nga said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been no Vietnamese restaurant past Northway Exit 9,\u201d she said. \u201cMalta is a good location and I love it here.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Nga cooks, her dishes link her love of food, family, and her youth during the Vietnam war years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPho is an international dish, like a meatball, and everybody loves it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt contains fresh protein and spices and herbs like anise, clove, ginger, Thai basil and cilantro.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPho helps you sleep well and warm up and feel good,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cWhen we were sick growing up we would eat pho and it made our stomach feel so much better,\u201d said her daughter Sandy, who makes her home in Florida with Nga\u2019s only grandchild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOr when you\u2019re in college and party really hard, have hot pho broth first thing the next morning,\u201d Sandy said.<\/p>\n

Nga said she often puts fresh bean sprouts into her pork, beef and chicken dishes for the added protein. All these proteins are common in Vietnamese cooking and Asian ingredients are available locally, she said.<\/p>\n

Nga\u2019s mother is Vietnamese and her father is an African American serviceman. When Nga was 15 years old in 1982, she was accepted under a government program to emigrate to the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1988, she traveled with her mother and two brothers to Thailand for a week before going to the Philippines as refugees for about a year. Here they were taught to speak English. By the time the family arrived in Washington, D.C., in 1989 Nga was 21 years old.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the year I began to see in my dream that I would have own a restaurant in America,\u201d said Nga. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But first they moved to Massachusetts, where Nga married her first husband, met her \u201cbest friend who is like my only sister,\u201d and had her three children.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter my divorce, I wanted to start over somewhere and my good friend got me a job doing nails at a salon in New York,\u201d she said. \u201cAll my kids went to school here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years later the same friend was encouraging Nga to start Mama\u2019s Pho House, and so were her husband and adult children.<\/p>\n

Sandy, the oldest, worked on the interiors and designed the menus over the four summer months before returning home to Florida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daughter Amanda, a nurse in Massachusetts, helped out the first week with the grand opening.<\/p>\n

Son Bill, the youngest, is working front of house as manager and will soon return home to Texas.<\/p>\n

Nga does all the cooking but gets help from her husband, Doan Van Ha, with some of the \u201cheavy lifting, prepping food, grilling, and dish washing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard work that Nga said she \u201cloves so much\u201d that she is \u201cnot ready to come home at 11 o\u2019clock at night.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am so happy to be cooking all day, every day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As a young girl, Nga started her day at market gathering ingredients, cooking dishes at home, and returning to the streets to sell them. Any profit she made supported her mother, stepfather and two siblings, Sandy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooking was not just a means to survive but a profound act of love and dedication,\u201d said Sandy. \u201cEvery meal Mama makes is an invitation to a piece of history, art, and heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandy said her mother was bullied as a girl because her skin color made her different from all her neighbors and that she is \u201cso proud of what Mama has done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nga laughed when she said she hopes to bring another restaurant to Saratoga one day, but for now that vision remains in her dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy to welcome everybody to my restaurant,\u201d said Nga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She is working with the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce to have a public event in honor of the opening.<\/p>\n

Nga never was able to meet her father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mama\u2019s Pho House is located at 1106 Ellsworth Boulevard.<\/p>\n
