Our sidewalk

From the sidewalks of Saigon to Domingo Avenue

  1. Three diners on low red stools slurp noodle soup at a red table on a wet Saigon street at dusk, a steaming stall behind

    Lunch is a low stool and a steaming bowl.

    Huy and Thao grew up on the streets of Saigon, where lunch is a low stool, a steaming bowl and a cart that has made one thing well for years.

  2. The Nguyen family on an outdoor sofa: a woman, a man holding a birthday cake, two boys and a girl holding a pink toy

    A short menu, cooked the way the street taught us.

    We opened Sidewalk Street Food in Berkeley in 2018 to cook that way here: a short menu, fresh herbs, a chicken broth that is slow-cooked, and a crusty baguette for every banh mi.

  3. The order counter with a speckled stone top, glass display case and stacked green baskets, an open door to the patio beyond

    The family moved. The food never left.

    Our family's roots moved from Saigon to the Bay Area decades ago. The food never left.
