In Hà Nội, restaurants on Huế, Bà Triệu, Xã Đàn and Trần Duy Hưng streets have been closed for about a week.

Nguyễn Mạnh Cường, a security guard at a bank next to Món Huế on Xã Đàn Street said the restaurant seems to have had no customers for a year.

The restaurant shut up shop in the middle of last week, he added.

The same happened to another restaurant on Trần Duy Hưng Street. They closed their doors earlier this month, online newspaper Zing reported.

A security guard at the restaurant said the staff had yet to receive their wages.

In HCM City, hundreds of suppliers for Món Huế visited the local police department on Wednesday afternoon seeking billions of đồng in debt from the restaurant’s owners.

The headquarters of the company is currently empty and management were unable to be contacted. The company’s official website, nhahangmonhue.vn, was also unreachable.

Previously, the supplier hung banners in front of the headquarters of HCM City-based Huy Việt Nam Group Limited – a parent company of Món Huế Restaurant Co., Ltd – asking to be paid. — VNS
