Last day here, and a heartfelt goodbye to China Place.

This place has been filled with so many memories, laughter, challenges, and friendships over the years. As we take down the paintings and move the tables and chairs one last time, it truly feels like the end of an era.

Everything you see here has come to its final chapter. China Place is no longer here—but from its foundation, Pho Dee Licious is born.

Here’s to new memories, new flavors, and an exciting new journey ahead. Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout the years. Your loyalty, kindness, and encouragement have meant the world to us.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Pho Dee Licious and share this new chapter with you.

🍜✨ From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. See you soon! ❤️
