Café on Nguyen Van Luong, in District 6. Owner is a young Chinese with a deep interest in Cho Lon, Saigon's Chinatown. He first saw it in 1995, long after its heydays. I recommended to him Gontran De Poncins' wonderful 1957 book about Cho Lon, From a Chinese City.

I lent my copy to a half Chinese bartender in Philly and never got it back, but that's usually what happens when you lend out books.
