'I'm heartbroken': People upset over closure of decade-old Vietnamese restaurant in Richmond
After a decade of operation, Banh Mi Tres Bon has announced that it has closed its Richmond location.
“When we opened our doors, we could never have imagined all the people, stories, laughter, celebrations, and memories that would become such a meaningful part of our lives,” wrote the restaurant on Instagram. “What started as a restaurant became so much more because of all of you.”

Located at 4720 McClelland Rd. #1840, Richmond, Banh Mi Tres Bon is best known for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine (think pho, vermicelli bowls, spring rolls) and banh mi. The restaurant also operates a location in White Rock at 1459 Johnston Rd., which will remain open.
“We leave with full hearts and so many wonderful memories. Thank you for giving us an incredible 10 years and for allowing us to be a small part of your lives,” concluded the restaurant.

Many took to the comments to share how much they would miss the restaurant.
“I’m heartbroken. This must have been a tough decision. My family and I have so many memories here, and you were the first one to even call me out on my pregnancy here! You raised the bar for Vietnamese food and poured your heart into your recipes. We could taste the love,” wrote one person.
“Wishing you all the best. Our family enjoyed so many meals and always enjoyed chatting with you and the staff,” added another.
“My family and I used to drive here twice a year from Seattle just to stock up on 6 months of banh mi because we never had anything that compared around us. I moved away for college and havenāt been back, but I miss it. Will definitely hit up the other location to relive the memories,” shared a third.
