Catfish in Black Bean Sauce is a 2000 comedy-drama film directed by Chi Muoi Lo in his directorial debut about a Vietnamese brother and sister raised by an African American couple.

The film stars Chi Muoi Lo, Paul Winfield, Sanaa Lathan, and Mary Alice.

A Los Angeles Times review noted that as the film's writer/director/actor Chi Muoi Lo "spread himself too thin, resulting in an uneven picture but one that has plenty of substance and emotion".

[1] Roger Ebert wrote that the film was "a first draft for a movie that could have been extraordinary".

[2] The San Francisco Chronicle noted that the film was "a comedy of interracial wariness and misunderstanding marked by a refreshing lack of sappiness".
