PENDLETON â When the Pendleton Quiznos went out of business last year, Lam Ha saw the space as the perfect location for a restaurant dream more than a decade in the making.
Haâs dream came true earlier this month when he opened Haven Pho, a Vietnamese restaurant in place of the former sandwich shop location at 204 S.W. 20th St. in Pendleton.
âI planned this like 10 years ago,â he said.
Ha, who came to the United States from Vietnam roughly 20 years ago, developed a love for restaurants while working at his sisterâs Vietnamese restaurant in Arlington, Texas, and set out on a journey to own one of his own.
