We regretfully announce the permanent closure of Bánh Vivant.
We recognize this may come as a surprise and for that we apologize, especially to those who were enthusiastic about our return after the winter hiatus, we did not predict this exactly and share your discontent. That being said, It gave us much satisfaction to take this venture with all of you and proud of the food we cooked, our menu and our staff. To our customers who made it all possible we enjoyed your company and conversations very much and can’t thank you enough. We’ll miss the space and the sunny days slinging Bánh MÌ.
Our decision to close was not an easy one but a collection of challenges business and personal. Perhaps, in time, it would have flourished but running a restaurant, even a tiny one, takes a tremendous amount of work, dogged commitment, and well, the stamina to do both. We have nothing but respect for those who do it so well here in Salida and all over in an industry that is notoriously unpredictable and presently experiencing many pressures and changes.
Our philosophy has always been to create dishes with big flavor and good quality ingredients made with care to rouse our guests’ excitement. We want you happy and always aimed to create a friendly environment. We hope to stay resolute in this and look forward to serving you all again in the future one day. Thanks again to everyone who has supported us along the way, truly. Much love, Salida. Cheers everyone!
