As Anthony Bourdain fans flock to her restaurant, the owner of the Hanoi noodle shop where Bourdain slurped down 'bun cha' with former US president Barack Obama has expressed her shock and sorrow over the death of the globetrotting American celebrity chef.

Bun Cha Huong Lien restaurant in the Vietnamese capital's leafy Old Quarter soared to fame after the sit-down between then President Obama and Bourdain during an episode of the CNN show, Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, aired in September 2016.


The pair shared a simple meal of pork noodles and fried spring rolls each dish worth around $3 and photos of the casual dinner quickly went viral.

R.I.P to the deceased

I guess this was the restaurant that set aside every item used by obama.? Including the chair and table.

Bourdain, 61, died by suicide while in France filming an episode of his Emmy-winning CNN food and travel program, the network said Friday.

'I was surprised and sad when I heard about (Bourdain's) death,' Nguyen Thi Nga, co-owner of Bun Cha Huong Lien restaurant told AFP.'

(Bourdain) was a nice, friendly and folksy person... He praised our bun cha dish and its fish-sauce broth. He loved Vietnamese food,' Nga said.

Inside the restaurant, as hungry customers poured in for lunch on Saturday, diners gave extra attention to the glass box in which the table and chairs used by Bourdain and Obama are preserved.


In March, Bourdain posted a picture on Instagram revealing that the table where he and Obama ate their meal at the restaurant was now encased in glass.

'Not sure how I feel about this,' Bourdain wrote.

Bourdain posted a picture of the Parts Unknown crew 'and special guest' Obama at the restaurant after the interview was taped.

The pair shared a simple meal of pork noodles and fried spring rolls at what Bourdain called a 'decidedly working class,' which was a far cry from the state dinners Obama was used to.



Bun Cha Huong Lien's owner, Nguyen Thi Lien (in 2016), said Saturday she was 'surprised and sad' when she heard that Bourdain had committed suicide on Friday.

Bourdain was found unresponsive on in the bathroom of his room at Le Chambard hotel in Kayserberg, France, by his close friend and famed chef Éric Ripert, on Friday.

French prosecutors revealed later that day that Bourdain hanged himself with the belt of his bathrobe in a small hotel room bathroom.

A toxicology exam is being conducted to see if there were any traces of alcohol or other substances in his system at the time of his death.

Bourdain had been in France filming scenes for an upcoming episode of his CNN series.
