Who is Jeff Lurie's wife?

As the youngest of eight, Tina was born on the 13th of April 1975 to Thuyen Luu and Nhu Lai. The Vietnamese family who owned a sandal factory in Saigon began their journey to America in 1978, seeking refuge from the oppressive rule in the country.

The family of ten fled Saigon by boat to a Malaysian refugee camp, where they spent nine months. In an interview with ChestHill Local, Tina's brother, the family fled in a broken-down boat that went adrift for a number of days in the South China Sea before being rescued by good Samaritan sailors.

After their lengthy stay in Malaysia, the Lai family boarded a plane to Philadelphia. In a statement on the family's restaurant website, Eat At Vietnam, the family said,

“The Lai family came to this country with little more than the clothes on their backs. With talent, vision, and hard work, they raised their children and succeeded in their businesses. The family has truly lived the American dream.”

On Trip Advisor, the restaurant was ranked at position 216 of 2,098 restaurants in Philadelphia.
