Sad News: Beloved Asian Restaurant in Rockford Announces Closure
A popular Asian restaurant in Rockford has announced it has closed its doors, leaving many saddened by the shocking news.
Back in January of 2022, Pho 27 opened their doors for the very first time on Rockford's east side. I visited them many times throughout the past few years and absolutely loved the energy, kind staff, and delicious homestyle Lao dishes they served.
I remember the owners' son, Andrew, told me his parents always knew they wanted to open a restaurant. The opportunity presented itself in 2021 and they opened in 2022.
They wanted to cater to the Lao community and bring homestyle cooking to their table. They did just that, no doubt!
I get on Facebook and see Pho 27 announced some really sad news to their friends, family, and loyal customers: they've permanently closed their restaurant as of Tuesday, July 30th, 2024.
My family loved eating at Pho 27, so we're all really bummed they closed.
Here's what they shared on their Facebook page:
Though we won't be able to taste the incredible pho, curry, sweet sausage, Thai tea, and everything else their menu offered, it's wonderful to see the owners get to officially retire and start a new journey.
