Long Nguyen and Shauna Seamen, the dynamic duo behind popular concept Pho King Rapidos, are launching a new business called Saigon Noodle Club. The company announced in an Instagram post last month that it will debut at Edgewater Public Market (5505 W 20th Ave.).
Set to open later this summer, the new venture promises to offer a variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes, including small-batch pho made with 24-hour bone broth, wings, and grilled noodle bowls with fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, and grilled meats.
Saigon Noodle Club will take over a stall that used to host Mac Shack, the Denver Post reports. It will join several other retail and hospitality businesses within the complex: Black Box Bakery, Gyro King, Konjo Ethiopian, Barquentine Brewing, Arepas House, Bibamba Chocolate, Northside Hair Co., YogaSix, Massage Envy, American Axes, and Depew Liquor.
Nguyen and Seamen have quickly gained a reputation as local restaurateurs after launching the Pho King Rapidos food truck in 2020. They went on to have a booth at the Denver Avanti, but stopped operations there earlier this year due to renovations planned at the property.
“This feels like a good opportunity to shake things up and try something new. Saigon Noodle Club is a natural evolution for us and our business,” Nguyen was quoted as saying in a press release.
