“❤️Spring Restaurant” is not just the name of a restaurant. It is the name of my grandmother — the person who loved and sacrificed the most for me in my life.
When I first came to America, everything felt difficult and unfamiliar. There were days when I had no idea what my future would look like, but my grandmother was always there quietly encouraging me. She did not have much money, but she was always willing to give me the best she could.
I still remember the bicycle she bought for me so I could ride around looking for a job. There were cold mornings when I rode that bike through long streets just searching for one small opportunity. Every time I felt tired or wanted to give up, I thought about her worried eyes and unconditional love for me. That is what gave me the strength to keep going.
That is why I chose the name “Spring” — because my grandmother’s Vietnamese name was Xuân, which means Spring. Spring also symbolizes a new beginning, hope, and new life.
I want every guest who walks into the restaurant not only to enjoy the food, but also to feel the story of family love, gratitude, and the journey of overcoming hardships to build a better life.”
