OUR FOOD
Hmong food draws on the flavors of the Southeast Asian countries that the nomadic Hmong people traveled through. Our menu at Vinai (pronounced VEE-nye) features modern interpretations of the Hmong family dishes Yia grew up eating including large shared mains, bright veggie sides and bold sauces.
