Hi, my name is Tram Kastamo — one of the Co-Founders.
In 2020, my sister and I opened our first restaurant called Saiga Vietnamese Eatery to share our love for Vietnamese food using our mom’s recipes. Raising young kids and running a restaurant at the time, I often needed quick, convenient meals — but nothing in the grocery store reflected the Vietnamese flavors I grew up with. I realized there was a gap — not just for my family – but for anyone craving familiar, comforting meals from our culture.
That’s when we set out to change the freezer aisle. With my mom and sister’s help, we developed a frozen version of our restaurant phở – testing broth, noodles, and packaging – to make it possible for families everywhere to enjoy the flavors of Vietnam – right from their local grocery store.
Family has always been at the heart of everything we do. The recipes we share today were inspired by the meals we love — the bữa cơm gia đình (family meals) that brought us comfort and connection.
As a family-run business, we carry those same values into everything we do: staying true to our roots, treating our team and customers like family, and never compromising on quality or integrity. Saiga Foods is more than a brand — it’s our family’s story, shared through every bowl.
We’re building Saiga Foods with grit, heart, and a clear purpose: to become the national leader in Asian comfort food while staying true to our family roots. We’re proud to be women-led, community-driven, and committed to creating clean-label meals people can trust.
As a self-funded, in-house manufacturer, growth has come with many challenges. We wear many hats — balancing production, distribution, marketing, and team development.
Despite this, we’ve stayed true to our values: maintaining quality, preserving truyền thống (tradition), and building a workplace where employees feel like family. By keeping production in our family’s hands, we ensure every detail reflects the values we care about — quality, honesty, and cultural heritage.

This one feels a little bit more personal to me because I’ve been shopping at Ralph’s for years. I never would have imagined that one day I’ll be walking down the same aisles and seeing our products there. If you shop at Ralphs please grab a box and give us a try. If you know someone who loves pho, we really appreciate you sharing this with them. Your support means so much to us! 💛
