Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming interest in Chef Ho’s complimentary dinner for two each evening for our Bay Area Healthcare workers, currently we are no longer able to accept any new inquiries. The waitlist is extensive, and we want to ensure that those that have reached out already have the opportunity to dine with us.

Thank you for everything that our front-line workers have done to help us. We are grateful for your commitment to caring for our community!
