"Started by Htay Naing, who emigrated from Malaysia after growing up in Arakan state, this Thai stall was the product of years of saving and patience—Naing was waitlisted for three years before opening. The operation became a smash hit at the market, expanded its takeout program during the pandemic with support from the incubator’s resources, and its success enabled Naing to bring his wife to the U.S., buy a house in the Kenmore suburb, and start a family." - ByAlana Pedalino
