“Sixteen 88 will serve Asian fusion dishes, pulling influences from Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and China. It will have a full bar with cocktails. The new restaurant will be a more intimate space,” the report states.

“Sixteen 88 comes from husband-and-wife team Kevin Le and Lynn Tran (Lynn is also the main chef). The pair’s first restaurant was 888 Pan Asian Restaurant, though that restaurant is now under new management, and they opened 1618, which also serves Asian fusion dishes, in 2019.”

No opening date has been announced.
