There’s a Chance Cambodian Restaurant Nyum Bai Could Open at the Ferry Building

The San Francisco Business Times reports that Cambodian restaurant Nyum Bai could be headed to the historic Ferry Building. According to the outlet, the business recently registered a business address at San Francisco’s Ferry Building on the Embarcadero — but a representative for the Ferry Building says neither Nyum Bai nor its proprietor chef Nite Yun has signed a lease at the building yet. The outlet, however, notes that sometimes business owners “file a business registry with the city prior to finalizing their lease to get a head start on applying for utilities and other services.”

Fans may remember that Nyum Bai closed its doors in May 2022 at which time Yun shared on Instagram that the restaurant’s lease at 3340 East 12th Street in Oakland was up after five years. She went on to tease a future location though. “This is not the end of Nyum Bai, rather the closing of its first chapter, which has been something truly special,” the post reads in part. “We will reopen in the near future in a new location, so stay tuned!” There’s been no word yet on where the restaurant is headed, but it seems this could be the first indication.
