Unicorn derives its name from our first location, a small but wildly popular bistro in Vietnam that opened over thirty years ago under the name Ka’lin, meaning “Chinese unicorn.” In 2001, the family extended its gastronomic talents to this continent by opening Unicorn in Berkeley, which garnered rave reviews for its authentic and inspired Asian cuisine. This success encouraged the opening of what is perhaps the culmination of our aesthetic and culinary vision: the Unicorn Pan-Asian restaurant in San Francisco.
