TUCSON, Ariz. -- — In this quick bite of Tasting Tucson , we checked in with a well-established restaurant brand moving into their new Downtown location.
Co-owner Bao Ma has support running the business with his two brothers, but for this project and the grand opening April 8th, Ma took the lead in re-designing what was an empty space.Quick aside — the first time I stepped foot in what was the old Mi-An Sushi restaurant, it was being used to run a COVID-19 test clinic.Sunday night, guests at Miss Saigon's soft opening got to marvel at Ma's designs; in particular, the bright and floral light fixtures that evoke the forests of Vietnam.
Ma and his family made their pitch of this meticulous vision to the Rio Nuevo Board, and in turn, they invested more than $350,000 to help Miss Saigon grow its footprint in town and have the room to experiment. Asking Ma how he felt, knowing more than 110 days of physical labor paid off to get the restaurant ready for the opening, he said he was relieved, happy and emotional."It's been a long project. What we've been able to accomplish here is beyond words," he said.
