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

Fabulous food and an adorable couple

3 crab fish sauce is the best

Their whole vibe is everything. Congratulations on the marriage and snack bar!

I've been in the culinary arts for over 40 years from Cooking to Baking in hotels restaurants hospitals farmer markets on weekends even got to work contract in Kuwait in 2003 for six months. Congratulations on this couple I'm sure they'll do just fine .

My son piping

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

Beautiful couple

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

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

So true. So dedicated and adorable

Good progress guys ❤❤

Mediocre food. Unfortunately

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.

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

What a cute story

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

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.

A cook needs to have passion to serve good food

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.

She sounds like Jennifer Lawrence

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

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

listening to brat as they should

they don't even do pop ups anymore

LITTLE SAIGON ❤

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

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

What a sweet couple!! Happy for you guys!

She sounds like Jennifer Lawrence

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.

yummy yumy good work

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

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

Do they ever make Banh Xeo? My favorite Vietnamese dish

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

I love your content

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

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

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.

vietnamese food very nature

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

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

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!!

👍♥️🇺🇸
