Umm….what? Yeah, we made it to 4 years. Crazy, right? Today was actually our real birthday, but we’re going to celebrate it on Saturday, March 18th from 5-9pm. We like to party so we’re bringing our friends to help support. We will be serving a limited menu of Beef Noodles, Veggie Noodles, Mama’s 5 Spice Chicken Wings and Sapporo + wine deals all night. Our friends from La Morra Pizzeria will also be taking over the parking lot to serve their wood fired pizzas while the Fat + Flour truck will be parked out front to satisfy any dessert cravings. Homage Brewing will be on site to keep us lubricated with their amazing beers! Last, but not least…we will be hosting a karaoke party on the patio all night. Add your name to the list and sing a song!
See you there :)
This is not an easy task, but we are going to open 7 nights a week starting next Monday, January 9th. This will be the first time that Woon has opened this many days, so bear with us. It’s a struggle in terms of management, staffing and operations. BUT, it’s time that we give it a shot.
Woon was originally open for lunch and dinner 6 days a week. Then COVID forced us to limit our hours to 5 nights a week. Over time, our volume got so high during those dinner hours that it seemed impossible to expand back our hours. However, operating solely 5 nights a week as a restaurant is not sustainable as a restaurant that offers health benefits and better wages. The only way to make it sustainable is to expand our hours. Also, you can now have woon any day of the week. We won’t have to turn down disappointed customers on Mondays and Tuesday anymore!
Introducing Woon Cycling Kits ~ available in both Mens’ and Womens’ jerseys and bibs. Our family likes to cycle, so it was only fitting to produce these custom Woon kits illustrated by Ty Williams, designed by my sister Andrea, and produced by our friends at Team Dream. If you’re a fan of cycling and Chinese food, this one’s for you!
Woon presents another week of Woon Bakery, a preorder only Brunch Pop Up on Sunday, July 10th from 10am-12pm.
Woon Bakery originated when our dumpling cook, Janine Liu, developed a recipe for Chinese bakery-style hot dog buns – Nathan’s hot dogs wrapped in fluffy milk bread and glazed in simple syrup – that sent the whole kitchen into a frenzy for more.
For those of us who spent our youth going to Chinese bakeries, pastry cases filled with a dizzying array of sweet and savory biscuits, buns, breads, and cookies are the touchstone of nostalgic memory. After weeks of recipe testing and development, we settled on a menu driven by this nostalgia we have for the treats of our childhoods. We will be offering freshly-baked goods inspired by Chinese bakeries like Bolo Bao (菠蘿包), Almond Cookies (杏仁餅), Baked Chinese BBQ Pork Buns (叉燒麵包), and Chinese Hot Dog Buns (腸仔包), in addition to our very own Woon Milk Tea. We hope to expand on this menu for future Woon Bakery Pop Ups to come ~ think congee (rice porridge) w/ house made pork floss, egg sandwiches, faun tuan (Chinese donuts wrapped in sticky rice), etc.
Woon Bakery embraces Chinese bakeries a cultural cross-section. Whether these treats were a part of your childhood or are entirely new to you, we hope that each bite helps you connect to a collective Chinese American memory.
Pre-order and Pick Ups only
Sunday, July 10th

Woon Productions, Special Delivery
Woon Productions presents the second episode in our series titled, Special Delivery, documenting the interesting subjects from our Woon community who contribute to make Woon what it is today.
In this episode, we deliver Woon to Ty Williams on his recent visit to California. Ty Williams is an artist and illustrator based out of Burlington, VT and Maine. If you are familiar with Woon then you are most definitely familiar with Ty's illustrations which plaster our walls, Instagram page and packaged goods.
Ty and I met over 9 years ago, when we worked together at an apparel brand. Ty had moved out to Los Angeles to help us open a US flagship store where we eventually became good friends. He eventually made his way back to the East Coast, but had always mentioned that if we were to ever open a restaurant he'd be willing to fly out to LA to paint for us. Fast forward 5 or so years and Ty was sleeping on my couch. We spent 3 straight days painting and creating what you now see inside Woon. Over the last few years his art has become synonymous with our brand, creating the art for our packaged goods and event flyers. Ty is considered part of our family and a big reason why we decided to build this restaurant. Enjoy!
Woon presents Radburg Pop Up next Tuesday, Jan. 18 from 4-9pm. We’re so excited for this one. See below for Adam’s menu, including a couple items featuring Woon Chewy Noodles and Woon Seamoss Seasoning. As always, beer, sake, and wine by @Pinkies Up. Outdoor dining, takeout and online pick up will be available on a first come, first served basis until sold out. Sorry, NO reservations. See ya next week!
