Iconic San Francisco Restaurants Forced to Close After Decades in Business

After 36 years in business, beloved Vietnamese restaurant Aux Delices in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is closing its doors on June 30. The restaurant, known for its tasty and affordable dishes influenced by both Vietnamese and French colonial cuisines, was originally opened by Chris Nguyen's mother in 1975. Despite efforts to find a buyer to continue the restaurant's legacy, none emerged. The closure marks the retirement of owners Chris and Thiet Nguyen, who inherited the restaurant from Chris's mother.
