Viet Street Food
Folks in the west often think of street food as food that is cooked and served out of somebody’s truck. Or, food that is easily portable—something you can walk around with. In Southeast Asia, street food is a bit different. It quite often represents the best food you can find. Small shops and carts cooking simple food.
Are you part of Monsoon Restaurants?
Yes! 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.
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.
