Happy #LunarNewYear ! To celebrate this weekend and show solidarity with the Asian community in the Bay Area, I recommend checking out this list of my fav family-owned Asian businesses!

Thread:
🥮 Good Luck Dimsum in SF

🥖 L&G Vietnamese Sandwich in SF - the Chipotle pulled pork and BBQ pork are my favs in the whole city

🍲 Han Il Kwan in SF - usually gets free soondubu and has amazing bonchon!

🍢 Sama Uyghur Cuisine in Fremont - lamb skewers to die for

🍜 Kui Shin Bo in SF - cheap and large lunch special

🥟 Taiwan Restaurant in SF - ALWAYS get the fried donut (youtiao) and soymilk for breakfast

🍩 Third Culture Bakery in Berkeley - pics are self-explanatory and owners are a cute gay couple!!

🍝 Tu Lan in SF - The BEST imperial rolls!!

🥬 Woori Market in SF - a cute small Korean grocery store with delicious ready-made kimchi of all kinds, gimbap, fried chicken, and fried rice!

🥩 Jang Su Jang KBBQ in Santa Clara and Milpitas

🥗 Nyum Bai in Oakland - amazing Cambodian spot!

🍜 Hubei Restaurant in Millbrae - admittedly haven't been but it's the only place I've ever seen that sells food from my hometown Wuhan so please enjoy for me 😭

💇🏻‍♀️ Hong Kong Mona - not a restaurant but rather my hairdresser! Each trip is just $20 (in SF!!) and you get a fun hour of chats about her immigrant life and aspirations! I don't have a pic of her in action but here's one of me on a good hair day to convince ya haha

Well the thread has to stop sometime. Please reply with your favs that I haven't listed and send pics of your food if these mouth-watering pics have inspired you to go!

新年快乐! Happy #LunarNewYear !
