Chino's Street Food
ABOUT
Much like his father, Nick Ho was practically raised between the shelves of Saigon Market. In his 20s when money was tight, Nick started selling fried rice in front of the shop, a side hustle that was also passed down from father to son. Unbeknownst to Nick at the time, these one-off pop-ups would result in a flourishing business called Chino’s Street Food.
“We started off as Saigon Market Street Food and slowly rebranded into Chino’s,” Nick says. “Chino-Latino [cuisine] is our focus. My partner, Nora, is Hispanic, and we like to incorporate a lot of Hispanic flavors into our food, too, because we feel like the concepts mix well with the food I’m familiar with.”
Nick and Nora started running with the name ‘Chino’s’ about 5 years ago, and they requested to stay close when enrolling in the Findlay Outdoor Market. While they’re set up on the weekends, they can rely on Saigon Market’s facilities instead of bringing their own equipment to their Market stall, and if they run out of ingredients in the middle of service, they can walk across the street and grab what they need right off the shelf. “It happens way more than it probably should,” Nick laughs. “‘Dad, I need to take some fish sauce,’ or, ‘I’m taking some sriracha!’”
