Pauline Nguyen is an Australian author and restaurateur.[1][2]

Nguyen was born in Vietnam. Upon the communist takeover of Saigon in 1975, her father decided to evacuate his family from Vietnam. They embarked on a perilous sea voyage in 1977, eventually finding refuge in a Thai refugee camp. After a year, they were granted asylum in Australia by the Fraser government in 1978.[3]

In 2002, Nguyen partnered with her brother Luke Nguyen, to open the Red Lantern restaurant in Sydney.[4][5][6] As an author, she has written several publications. Nguyen authored Secrets of the Red Lantern, a memoir that combines her family's story with traditional Vietnamese recipes.[7][8] The book was shortlisted for Newcomer of the Year and Biography of the Year at the Australian Book Industry Awards in 2008.[9] She also wrote "The Way of the Spiritual Entrepreneur," a 2019 Australian Business Book Award winner for Best Entrepreneurship and Small Business.[10]

In 2020, Nguyen took part in the third season of the Australian documentary series Filthy Rich and Homeless.[11][12]
