Tran and her husband, Kim Lai, immigrated to the U.S. in 1981, and supported their six kids as food cart vendors until they ultimately found a home for Tran’s home-style Vietnamese cooking in 1993. The restaurant was originally called Huong Que — which translates to “taste of home” — during the first half of its lifespan.They are “having such a hard time even now hearing the restaurant [is] closing. Their hearts are broken.
Despite making it through the treacherous pandemic, Lieu and Le Lai have decided to shut down now for a variety of reasons, notes Carman. One was a potential rent spike as their 5,000-square-foot corner lease nears a renewal. Industry-wide problems like labor shortages and rising food costs were also factors, and Lieu also simply wanted to spend more time with her two kids at home.
“I feel like we have succeeded. We have made our mark. I’m ready for the next chapter, whatever that may be,” Lieu told Carman. While the flagship is done, the Four Sisters story is not over yet in other pockets of Northern Virginia. The oldest sister Ly, and her husband will continue to operate its fast-casual offshoot in Clarendon . And the youngest son, Thuan Lai, and his wife still run the 4 Sisters Asian Snack Bar they opened in Ashburn in 2018.Sign up for the newsletterEmailBy submitting your email, you agree to our
