Sai’s Vietnamese Restaurant Is Headed to North Beach After Leaving the FiDi | Eater SF

"After gaining Legacy Business status in 2022, the time-tested Sai's Vietnamese beneath the Transamerica Pyramid had to find a new home and has now found new life at 42 Columbus Avenue—the former location of North Beach restaurant Bask—where owner Charles Vong, who bought the space with financial help from Shvo, plans to reopen Sai's in about four months. The move followed a notice to vacate from Shvo despite Sai's 40-year lease at 505 Washington Street; Supervisor Aaron Peskin mediated the transition amid local outcry as Shvo begins renovations on the Pyramid, and Vong said he is "very grateful" for Shvo's financial contributions to the move, including forgiving a year's rent." - Paolo Bicchieri
