“We started small scale as a noodle house because it was easy to operate,” confesses Raffy. Starting from humble beginnings has allowed North Park restaurants to organically grow and to maintain its honest-to-goodness ambiance, taste and service.
“When we started North Park, we didn’t think it would grow this much,” confides Raphael Soon of his family’s business. The North Park group of restaurants today includes Next Door, Tiananmen Bar and Kopi Tiam. These restaurants have common dishes as well as unique menus. Each caters to specific sort of diner, whether they are large families, young urban professionals, trendy bar-hoppers or coffee aficionados.
As North Park continues to grow, it continues to foster its homegrown feel and authentic comfort food menu making it the modern Chinoy restaurant we all love.
