The Sold-Out, Vietnamese Pop-Up Seen Around The World | Secret's Out | NYT Cooking

👍♥️🇺🇸

Absolutely love them-their love for food and love for each other. So looking forward to visit Ha’s snack bar the next time Im in the city!!

best of luck! can't wait to check out the space once it's up and running

Imagine sharing a love for food with your partner. Amazing 🎉🎉

vietnamese food very nature

I love your idea.

In 1993, I opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant with several friends that was built from a coffee cart before I sold my interest. We had three brick-and-mortar locations, and business was booming. As always, business with friends, shit happens. We are all still friends but had different visions of where it was going, and I sold my interest in the group and moved away.


Always believe in yourself. I ended up building an Inn with the help of my parents and maintaining a 5* TripAdvisor rating for over 16 years.

Now, I'm 59 and building another restaurant while retired to pay homage to the many years of my life. A worldly place that makes me happy.

I'm proud of you both and anyone who stays in this business because it is definitely seeded in love and passion.

Congratulations.

I hope you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live!!

You two are so talented! It must be a lot of work coming up with a different menu everyday and cook it. Amazing!!!

I love your content

if you close your eyes, she sounds like Jennifer Lawrence. She gives off that vibe also. Very interesting.

Do they ever make Banh Xeo? My favorite Vietnamese dish

great story..from the pnw but definitely stopping by if I am around the area..

She talks so posh and proper you'd never know that she's a powerhouse cook, that's character.

yummy yumy good work

Ah, I was just in New York, visiting from LA. I would have totally gone to one of these pop ups. As a Vietnamese, I love to see how people are doing the cuisine in different parts of the world. I wonder if they're improvising off the cuisine or if they're doing traditional takes.

She sounds like Jennifer Lawrence

What a sweet couple!! Happy for you guys!

id have expected to see munchies producing this, great stuff great people great food !

You guys remind me of Chuck/Hailee Catalano from Asbury Park!

LITTLE SAIGON ❤

they don't even do pop ups anymore

listening to brat as they should

This woman is the definition of my ride or die girl. Many blessings for you two.

The economics of this must be so difficult. Also props to them for being okay with this insane lifestyle. They are hustlers

She sounds like Jennifer Lawrence

I hope they realize, pop-ups and restaurants are different things. people like pop-ups, because people like something new. but if we talk about restaurants, restaurants very rarely provide new menus (because they already have regular customers). So, the challenge is, how to find new customers, and keep regular customers. so, good luck for them. hope they can get their michelin star next year.

A cook needs to have passion to serve good food

It seems they're doing what Chef Ludo Lefebvre did with getting his reputation around with his pop-ups and opening a restaurant as he was peaking in popularity.

They are too cute. Can't wait to try their restaurant to support their cause!

What a cute story

🔥 📛 👩‍🚒

I love how cute y’all are together. So passionate and sharing your love!!!

vocal fray

You guys should read the ingredient label on the fish sauce bottle. If it’s made with anything else besides fish and salt, it’s fake.
So far, the Red Boat fish sauce is authentic and good.

Mediocre food. Unfortunately

Good progress guys ❤❤

So true. So dedicated and adorable

These are my friends. Tell Roy about this restaurant. They were just in the NyT food column and they gave them a review. She was my student Her dad runs the program I work for

What a love story ❤ wish u all the best 🎉💯

Beautiful couple

are they doing pop ups at other peoples restaurants? assuming a day that the restaurant is closed??

My son piping
