What does Ba bar mean?
What does Ba Bar mean? The word “Ba” means father in Vietnamese. We named this place after our own dad, who inspired us all in so many different ways. This one is for him. Learn more about the Banh Family Story over on the Saigon Siblings website.
What inspired Ba bar to open?
Sophie and Eric Banh grew up together eating street food in Saigon, and that was really the inspiration for Ba Bar. When they first opened Monsoon in 1999, they drew much of their inspiration from the very same “street food” we are now serving at Ba Bar. With Ba Bar, we’re just a little closer to the street.
Is monsoon the younger sister of Ba bar?
Think of Monsoon as our big sister (we’re the younger Saigon Sibling). Sophie and Eric Banh grew up together eating street food in Saigon, and that was really the inspiration for Ba Bar. When they first opened Monsoon in 1999, they drew much of their inspiration from the very same “street food” we are now serving at Ba Bar.
