Sovandy Kien and her husband, Nouly Chhem, fell in love over food \u2014 pork fried rice, to be specific.<\/p>\n

As young sweethearts in Cambodia, Chhem won over Kien with his repertoire of recipes. A self-taught cook, he had a knack for making friends through food, but it was a simple stir-fry of rice, soy sauce, vegetables and pork that stole Kien\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

Her dream of opening a restaurant and his love of cooking aligned like stars. But when her family moved to Northern California eight years ago, he continued a cooking career in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Korea.<\/p>\n

It would be nearly a decade before the couple opened their first American restaurant with the help of Kien\u2019s sister, Kanha.<\/p>\n

\"Drinks
One of Sovandy Kien’s sisters, Maliza Kien, adds wise sayings to her Paradise Lime drink and other tea drinks because \u201cI\u2019m wise like that,\u201d said the future social media star Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2025, in Rohnert Park. (John Burgess \/ The Press Democrat)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A dream realized<\/h4>\n

In late May, Kien and Chhem opened VN Flavor<\/a> in a quiet corner of Raley\u2019s Towne Center in Rohnert Park. A rotating cast of restaurants have occupied the space over the last five years, including an Asian bistro, a burger caf\u00e9 and a bagel bakery.<\/p>\n

VN Flavor might have escaped my notice if Press Democrat business reporter Melanie Nguyen<\/a> hadn\u2019t discovered that Kien\u2019s sister Khana owns popular Savor Vietnamese Bistro<\/a> in Santa Rosa and Windsor.<\/p>\n

That led to more questions. Why would the Kien sisters open competing restaurants with similar menus?<\/p>\n

The answer is simple, said Kien with a broad smile. After several years working at Savor, Kanha encouraged the couple to open their own restaurant in Rohnert Park, even helping fund the dream.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kept saying we weren\u2019t ready,\u201d said Kien. \u201cBut my husband said, \u2018Trust me. I want to show people what I have.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

A place of their own<\/h4>\n

The restaurant kitchen, with its noise and heat, is tucked away in the back, where Chhem reigns over pots of broth and a fiery grill. His garde manger is stocked with crushed peanuts, fragrant basil, limes, pickled carrots, cilantro and bean sprouts that garnish his flavor-packed dishes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m cooking, I\u2019m always thinking about my customers. I need to make it beautiful,\u201d Chhem said. And it is.<\/p>\n

But the L-shaped dining room has always been at odds with its function. The narrow seating area and spacious foyer work well for takeout, but previously felt disjointed for dining in. Kien has bridged that gap by personally bringing the steaming bowls of pho, crisp banh mi and sizzling short ribs to each table \u2014 creating a more connected experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to see this keep growing,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope we can open another (restaurant), maybe some day in Petaluma. But for us, it isn\u2019t about the money. We really care about every customer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best bets<\/h4>\n
\"Beef

Beef Combination Pho, $18:<\/strong> A long-simmered beef bone broth makes up the base for this hearty pho, filled with rice noodles, flank steak, brisket, meatballs and tripe. I\u2019ve always shied away from beef pho due to its sometimes overpowering \u201ccow\u201d flavor, but Chhem\u2019s clear, clean broth is soul-satisfying with its gentle fragrance and warm spices. The meat isn\u2019t overly fatty, and the tripe has a satisfying chew without off flavors. I\u2019m also a massive fan of the Wonton Egg Noodle Soup ($17), made with an 8-hour simmered chicken broth, pork-filled wontons and soft egg noodles.<\/p>\n

\"Bahn

Banh Mi, $13:<\/strong> The defining element of a great banh mi is the perfect baguette. Commercial soft rolls are too soft and crusty French baguettes are too hard. Kien bakes fresh mini baguettes every morning, with a gentle crisp crust and a pillow-soft interior that hits that Goldilocks zone. VN Flavor skips the traditional p\u00e2t\u00e9 on the baguette (which is a bummer, but not a deal-breaker), replacing it with a more American-friendly garlic mayo. The barbecue lemongrass pork is my favorite, but tofu, spicy pork, braised pork belly, crispy chicken and five-spice chicken are also available. Pickled carrots and daikon elevate this from a simple sando to a top-notch Vietnamese banh mi. Watch out for the sneaky jalape\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

Korean BBQ Short Ribs, $22:<\/strong> At first, I ignored this entr\u00e9e, but it turns out to be one of Chhem\u2019s signature dishes. Thin flanken-style short ribs, cut across the bone, are marinated in a sweet-savory soy sauce and quickly flame-grilled. Crispy char and tender meat make this a finger-licking must-try.<\/p>\n

\"Short

Spicy Basil Fried Rice, $20:<\/strong> Spicy, wonderful fried rice that\u2019s even better the next day. Like all fried rice.<\/p>\n

House Special Vermicelli Noodle, $20:<\/strong> Cold rice noodles, shredded lettuce, barbecue pork, shrimp and a sliced egg roll doused in nuoc mam cham (a sweet, citrusy fish sauce) is my desert island meal. I could eat it every day and never tire of the sweet, sour, fatty, crispy, noodly wonder that is b\u00fan.<\/p>\n

Vietnamese Desert, $9.95:<\/strong> Many Southeast Asian countries have a version of Ch\u00e8 Ba M\u00e0u, a refreshing drink made with crushed ice, coconut cream, lychee, brown sugar, daong, grass jelly, red beans and garbanzos. It\u2019s not for everyone, but I love it (without the garbanzos).<\/p>\n
