Meet Chef Hieu, our esteemed Executive Sous Chef and one of Navy Blue’s opening team members. From the earliest days, Chef Hieu stood shoulder to shoulder with Chef Aaron Bludorn, Chef Jerrod (Executive Chef, Navy Blue) and Chef Allie (Executive Chef, ) — directly impacting the vision of Navy Blue through his passion for seafood.

Beyond his daily contributions, Chef Hieu’s profound love for community-driven cuisine has directly fueled our collaborations with the Houston restaurant community, including our recent Uchi dinner just last month.

Just as humble as he is extremely talented, Chef Hieu attributes much of his culinary learnings over most recent years to the people who came before him naming Chef Aaron Bludorn, Chef Chase (Executive Chef, ) and Chef Rob (Corporate Chef) as a few.

“What truly sets Navy Blue’s kitchen team apart is that we invest in our team with the intention of training and building chefs. Not to simply cook, but to become a chef one day,” says Chef Hieu. “With that in mind, we set high standards for every single person here — in turn, fostering a team that rises to every challenge with pride and with precision.”

As both a guiding force in the kitchen and a beacon of encouragement for our front-of-house staff, Chef Hieu exemplifies the spirit of Navy Blue, and we couldn’t be luckier to have him. Please join us in celebrating Chef Hieu!

A Thursday delight. Introducing Molly’s Winemaker Spotlight: a series where our Wine Director, , will be illuminating the craftsmanship behind the bottles we carry in the cellars across our restaurants. Today, we shine the light on Ingrid Groiss, a master of her craft with generations of winemaking heritage.

“I love the Ingrid Groiss Gruner Veltliner as a by the glass option at Navy Blue,” says Molly. “Its crisp and refreshing structure cleanses the palate, but it also has a savoriness that pairs well green flavors, which can be found in dishes like our Moules-Frites.”

Here at Navy Blue you can enjoy oysters three ways: raw, baked and fried. However, the journey for each oyster extends far beyond the confines of your table.

Navy Blue is a proud partner of the Galveston Bay Foundation - a conservation nonprofit preserving and enhancing the Galveston Bay. Every oyster eaten plays a vital role in GBF’s oyster reef restoration program — an effort returning shucked oyster shells back to the Bag and creating new oyster habitat, while also serving as a shelter for crabs, shrimp, and juvenile fish. To-date, Navy Blue has contributed to a grand total of over 2 tons of oysters that have been recycled.

Every bite you savor supports the flourishing harmony of our coastal waters, and we couldn’t play the role we do without you. Happy Earth Day!

Since the summer of 2023, Bludorn and Navy Blue have partnered with Moonshot — an organization dedicated to reshaping how we view waste by transforming it into a resource.

We’re happy to celebrate Earth Day today and every day with you, Houston - one plate at a time.
