We hope this message finds you well. We want to follow up on the recent update we shared about the challenges facing Bay of Burma, our beloved Burmese restaurant in the heart of San Francisco's SoMa district.
Recent Incident: On Wednesday evening, Bay of Burma employees were violently robbed. The staff is safe, but understandably shaken. This incident adds to the adversity they've faced over the past few months, from licensing delays to news that their building will be converted into a housing project.
