But what if a kitchen was more than the sum of its parts? More than the counters, sinks, and appliances that fill a space? What if a kitchen was the idea that a person’s life shapes the way they cook? Union Kitchen is that idea. We cook from who we are. We train others to do the same. When we make a meal to share with you– we share our very selves. Food is meant for more than survival. It tells us a story. It’s a story carved on wooden boards and written with folded steel. Food is scrawled in searing heat and revised with measured time. It’s a story poured from uncorked journeys and seasoned with aged strife. And in every meal there is a dénouement– the unraveling of our solitude and the rewriting of our lives together. Welcome to Union Hmong Kitchen.

Food is a universal language we can use to speak to anyone. Regardless of our race, creed, sexuality or economic stance food is what brings us together. My mother and father believed in that. I believe in that. We (Vinai MN) believe in that.

In less than 3 months I’ve seen a team of people come together because they believe in the vision of 2 poor Hmong refugees who fought and sacrificed for this sons and daughters to have a chance of a future.

Vinai is build on the idea that there’s always a space for grace within our doors. From the dishwashers to our leadership team we believe that our love for adventure will overcome our fear of the unknown because we can do anything when we put our minds together and work as a team. The success of Vinai does not fall on the shoulders of one person but it’s carried on the shoulders of everyone on this team.

Being on The New York Times 2024 The Restaurant List is a great honor and we’re so happy that we can serve our families, our friends and our community! Also we’re so excited to be on this list with our neighbors across the street…Congrats Oro by nixtampls!
