A new Vietnamese restaurant has just opened in Calgary, and it’s coming directly from some very familiar faces.

From the family behind popular spots, including Pho Dau Bo and Mot To, Lai Rai offers a taste of Vietnamese cuisine in the heart of the city from its location on 10th Avenue SE.

Lai Rai has been brought to life by father and daughter duo, Long and Hannah. The name, which translates to “little by little,” is also a term used for hanging out with friends and family, losing track of time over good food and drinks.

“The chaos, the colour, the way people eat, drink, and linger. That’s the heartbeat we’re bottling up here,” the restaurant’s website says.

“Bit by bit, sip by sip, snack by snack. This is Vietnam, Calgary-style.”
