Lon Symensma’s first venture, ChoLon, distinguished itself as one of the city’s very best restaurants from the get-go. In spring 2015, Symensma opened Cho77, a more casual eatery on South Broadway that focuses on street foods from Southeast Asia. Decor beautifully emphasizes the theme, with hanging plants and lights strung between exposed-brick walls exuding an outdoor vibe. Even the chairs are red, a nod to Saigon’s ubiquitous red street stools, which are filled at all hours with people nose-down in noodle bowls. The compact, noodle-heavy menu is rife with dishes modeled after foods that Symensma enjoyed on his travels throughout Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia: chicken wings sticky with salty, not-too-sweet caramel sauce; Thai coconut curry soup served in a two-tiered tiffin; chilled rice noodles with pork and a refreshing herb salad; and crispy frog legs accented by chili and garlic. Save room for dessert: You won’t want to miss the decadent coconut sticky rice pudding. Cho77 relocated to the 16th Street Mall in January 2019.
