Coming up this weekend, come check out @chenziofficial, Fuzhounese potato balls filled with chicken, pork or veggies! They are a delightful add on to soups, noodles or eaten by themselves with a little soy! #meetthemaker this Saturday, 11am-2pm.

🎨Ceramics Painting Workshop 🎟️ This November 1, we’ll explore the stories of family and heritage through our cozy, creative ceramic painting workshop. Every family has a story. Some are told around the dinner table, others passed down in fragments.

No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to play!

All plates will be pre-made ahead of time. After painting, our team will fire the plates and coordinate pickups post-workshop.

📅 Saturday, November 1 | 2–5 PM

Snacks by Chenzi
Chenzi celebrates curiosity, legacy, and comfort by spotlighting regional dishes — starting with their signature Fuzhounese potato balls, the chewy, golden child of the dumpling family. Their mission: to share underrepresented dishes that feel like home while keeping culture alive around the table. Follow @chenziofficial on instagram for more!

The balls are dropping (softly)! If you like dumplings, you’ll love our potato balls. They’re chewy, juicy, tasty and just fun to eat😋

On Thursday, October 23rd, we’ll be hosting the softest of launches at the Welcome to China Town hub from 12pm-8pm (or until we sell out) 🤭

We’ll have:

Pork, chicken or vegan potato balls
• in cozy, warm broth
• steamed with garlic dipping sauce

You’ll also be able to purchase them frozen to take and make at home 😁

Can’t wait for you all to try them 🫶🏻

Come join us for "Once Upon a Thread," an original Vietnamese fashion show gallery and screening of LexyNiso's Asian New York Fashion Week debut! Set to a fairytale theme, this will be a magical night featuring Lexy's fashion collection alongside an original music score by local Vietnamese composer Hao Le and a hand-drawn animation by Mary Chen. All three have poured so much of their heart into this project, and they can't wait to share with everyone!

​Hosted by the Vietnamese Creative Society and Welcome to Chinatown , this also marks the 1 year anniversary of VCS — a full circle moment given our very first event was a fashion and music show!

​Snacks are being generously provided by Chenzi who will be making Fuzhou potato dumplings with Vietnamese-inspired dipping sauces.

🍁 Fall is arriving the way it always does in New York — slowly, strangely, a little unsure of itself. The air cools, yet the city still hums warm. Somewhere in that in-between, Chenzi finds its way to Hi:en From Vietnam — through community, chance, and the kind of quiet friendship that unfolds over time.

🍑 Both of us come from far away, though our paths once crossed in Georgia — a small coincidence that feels like fate when you think about it. The conversation between our kitchens began softly: about food that feels like family, recipes passed by memory, and the art of making things by hand — a little imperfect, perfectly so.

🫕 Chenzi brings the Fuzhou-style potato balls their family grew up eating — chewy, savory, humble in appearance yet rich with care.

☕️ Hi:en From Vietnam carries a similar heartbeat — born from the taste of strong coffee, the warmth of shared meals, and the dream of belonging somewhere between old roots and new beginnings.

🌖 The evening will unfold over tea — slow, fragrant, steady — a quiet companion to the meal and to the stories that find their way between bites.
It’s not about presentation. It’s about comfort — the kind that lingers softly, like warmth after rain.

🪂 Come if you can.
Something here might remind you of home — even if you’re far from it.
