Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup made with beef broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat – typically beef or chicken. It’s a staple dish in Vietnamese cuisine and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich typically served on a baguette with pickled vegetables, cilantro, chili peppers, and meat – usually pork, chicken, or beef. It’s a popular street food in Vietnam and has become increasingly popular in the US.

Che Ba Mau, also known as three-color dessert, is a traditional Vietnamese dessert made with layers of beans, jelly, and coconut milk. It’s a sweet and refreshing treat that’s perfect for a hot summer day.

Anthony Pham is a Vietnamese immigrant who came to the United States in search of a better life. Just like many other Vietnamese Americans, he escaped the country by boat in the 1980s and settled in California with his uncle. He worked hard to make a life for himself and his family and was determined to obtain a higher education.

Pham is not only a successful engineer, but he is also a loving husband and father. He has two twin daughters who are high-achievers and have followed in his footsteps of hard work and dedication. When he heard that the previous owner of Dalat’s Gateaux and Cafe – Banh Mi, Boba Teas, located at 6915 Southside Dr, Louisville, KY 40214 was retiring and closing the business, he saw an opportunity to provide a place for his daughters to work and gain experience while they attend college. He also wanted to provide a gathering place for students at the University of Louisville.

Pham’s goal is to turn his business into an empire, just like other successful chain restaurants like Qdoba and Panera Bread. He is focused on the 4Ps – product, price, promotion, and place – and is building a protocol and standardized process to ensure the success of his business. His passion for providing delicious and fresh food, combined with his business savvy, is sure to make Dalat’s Gateaux and Cafe a success for many years to come.

Anthony Pham is a true inspiration to us all, especially to the Vietnamese immigrant community. He has worked hard to build a better life for himself and his family and is now giving back to the community by providing a place for students to gather and his daughters to work and gain experience. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors and know that he will succeed in turning his business into an empire. If you’re in the Louisville area, be sure to stop by Dalat’s Gateaux and Cafe at 6915 Southside Dr, Louisville, KY 40214 and try some of their delicious banh mi and boba teas.
