There was strong turnout for Hoàng Gia’s first Saturday service, according to manager Linh Nguyen. The restaurant, located near Avenue B and East 8th Street, opened to the public June 8 after two weeks of friends-and-family previews. Staff said the dining room reached capacity by 7 p.m. and remained full through peak hours.

Hoàng Gia is operated by siblings Linh and Tuan Nguyen, who previously managed a Vietnamese deli in Elmhurst, Queens. The menu lists classic dishes such as pho bo, grilled pork over rice, and shrimp summer rolls. Prices for main courses range from $18 to $27.

The opening comes amid increased interest in Vietnamese cuisine in the East Village, with several new entrants since 2022.
