Stakeholders gathered recently to celebrate the opening of a Bambuza Vietnam Kitchen & Bar at Sacramento International Airport (SMF). The new Bambuza location, part of the airport’s larger concessions redevelopment and operated by ACDBE-certified Bambuza Hospitality Group, offers travelers a broad menu inspired by family recipes and featuring pho, bánh mì sandwiches, rice and noodle bowls, salad rolls and more.
“Bambuza is a great example of what we set out to accomplish with our concessions program: broaden the range of dining choices available to our passengers while creating meaningful opportunities for small businesses,” said Cindy Nichol, director of airports for Sacramento County. “Sacramento is an incredibly diverse region, and we want the experience at SMF to reflect the communities and cultures we serve.”
“Bambuza is rooted in our family’s Vietnamese recipes and the belief that sharing a meal is a way to connect people and cultures,” said Katherine Lam, president and CEO of Bambuza Hospitality Group. “Opening in both terminals at SMF gives us the opportunity to share that tradition with Sacramento and welcome travelers with fresh, flavorful food and warm hospitality. We’re grateful to the entire SMF team for creating opportunities for businesses like ours to grow and contribute to an airport experience that reflects the diversity of the community.”
