KOVI Kitchen - Asian Street Food
About Us
We are two business partners with a passion for good food and a mission to share it with others!
In 2016, Chef Vi Nguyen partnered with a good friend, Dean Boeving (who has a Real Estate, Financial and Construction background) and purchased a food truck to begin introducing the KOVI Kitchen concept to the marketplace. The feedback from thousands of customers was so positive that Chef Vi and Dean decided to open their first fast casual restaurant in Arlington, VA.
Always Fresh. Always Delicious.
We are more than another Asian food concept, we are a fast growing brand in a fast causal industry offering delicious Asian street food! We do not believe in sub-par or frozen food products, the KOVI Kitchen brand is committed to always providing the healthiest and most fresh food possible. At KOVI Kitchen, the consumer experience is very important to us, that is why we focus on the essentials and not the preservatives.

Franchising
- The Mobile Business Model - Choosing to invest in KOVI Kitchen's mobile version of the business brings a whole host of benefits and numerous revenue-generating possibilities. One of the advantages of having a food truck is that it is a form of free advertisement with the ability to go to places, events, and gatherings where they are a lot of people. Investing in a food truck is a low-cost alternative to the traditional restaurant.

Post Pandemic
The fast casual segment is best positioned to adjust to this new environment and meet the needs of these consumers by customizing their own meals at an affordable price, most take their meals with them and are in and out in 5 mins.
We anticipate that the accelerated rate of vacancy caused by the economic hardships facing the restaurant industry will lead to: (1) significantly reduced commercial rent; (2) an abundance of available spaces with key mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) infrastructure, plus furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) already in place; and (3) significant tenant improvement (TI) packages that will be made available by landlords who are anxious to fill their spaces. Reduced rent and lower out-of-pocket buildout costs will substantially help new fast casual restaurants succeed.
