Chef Yia Vang’s new Hmong restaurant, Vinai, is set to finally open in Minneapolis’s former Dangerous Man taproom space on July 30, almost four years after it was first announced. If you’ve been following along with Vang’s story, you know that much has led to this moment: a scrappy pop-up operation; a food hall stall and then a restaurant; 18,500 galabaos prepped and served at the State Fair; a nimble pivot to a summer residency; numerous construction delays and financial setbacks. Vinai has always been Vang’s “love letter” to his parents, who escaped persecution in Laos and forded the Mekong River to reach Thailand’s Ban Vinai refugee camp, where Vang was born, before the family resettled in Minnesota. In a way, then, this restaurant brings him back to exactly where he began.
