Minh Giang Ngo

Minh Giang Ngo, a devoted family man, skilled chef, and passionate collector, passed away on February 19, 2025, at the age of 73. Born in Vietnam, he proudly served in the Vietnamese Navy before immigrating to the United States, where he built a life centered around hard work, family, and his many interests.
A talented chef, Minh shared his love for food through his work at several restaurants, including Blue Hawaii, Koi Sushi and Hibachi, and as the chef and owner of both Loon Foon Chinese Restaurant and Fortune Garden Chinese Restaurant. His dedication to his craft brought joy to many who dined at his establishments.
Beyond his culinary skills, Minh had a deep love for animals, especially fish, and enjoyed caring for them. He was also an avid collector, with interests that changed over time, always finding joy in discovering and appreciating new things.
Minh was mechanically inclined and enjoyed working on cars and motorcycles, always eager to fix an engine or take on a new project. He also had a knack for repairing things around the house, whether it was fixing appliances, tackling home improvements, or helping family and friends with their repair needs. His resourcefulness and willingness to lend a hand made him the go-to person whenever something needed fixing.
He also found joy in shooting sports, appreciating the discipline and precision it required. He loved the freedom of riding his motorcycle, embracing the open road and the sense of adventure it brought him.
He is survived by his beloved children, Glenn Ngo and Greg Ngo; his daughter-in-law, Ling Lu; his cherished grandchildren, Gregson Ng and Gracelynn Ng; and his siblings, Ng Kong Ming, Ngo To Ha, Ngo Thieu Van, Ngo Vi Minh, Ngo Ba Minh, Phi Thieu Gergs, Ngo Hao Minh, Ngo Thieu Lai, and Ngo Duyen Minh.
