Vietnam Kitchen

Heard a rumor (Facebook post about them) that they are retiring April 1, and thus closing. Anyone know if this is real? It's a long drive for us for carryout, but if true may have to make the trip. Truly hope it's false, as a lot of stuff is going around the web these days.

Andrew, the rumor has been around for several years, and I've tried to confirm it with them repeatedly without success: The old man, the patriarch, wants to retire (and possibly go back to a now peaceful and thriving Vietnam). Sadly, it makes sense, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Coronavirus-forced closing would finally trigger it. :(

I haven’t been by, but they sure don’t seem to be answering the phone tonight.

No one can confirm the retirement rumor. They aren’t answering the phone but are taking orders in person. You can wait for your order outside, properly socially distanced.

So I just visited Vietnam Kitchen to picked up a carry out I called in and the GOOD NEWS is they’re only taking 2 weeks off to rest up starting Wednesday. They will reopen on the 16th of April and resume business in this new normal. They only have a few phone lines and seem to be doing dinner only for now but they are NOT closing and I, for one, am very happy! Now on to our A4 and J7.
