Business Spotlight: Pasteur Grill and Noodles
Welcome to Chinatown is excited to spotlight Longevity Fund recipient Pasteur Grill and Noodles. After escaping the Vietnam War by boat, Dennis Chung came to New York with his family at the age of 21 to start a new life. In 1995, Mr. Chung purchased Pasteur Grill and Noodles (originally founded in 1987 as “Pasteur”) to showcase the cuisine from his childhood. For the past 25 years, Pasteur Grill and Noodles has been serving traditional Vietnamese dishes such as phở, pork chops, and bánh mì (Vietnamese sandwiches).

This time last year, before COVID-19 made its way to NYC, we witnessed xenophobia’s impact on Chinatown, a place of historical and cultural significance for Asian Americans. We founded our organization because anti-Asian sentiments and attacks exposed our community’s vulnerability to discrimination alongside systematic oppression that prevents fair access to resources such as aid and capital. Though anti-Asian sentiments have risen over the past year, they are not new.
Check out our resource guide to learn how you can support the Asian-American community as we fight anti-Asian violence across the U.S.
