This is Erin, the owner of Yellow
I went back to Yellow tonight. I wanted to take some photos of the place and hopefully meet the owner to find out how someone decides to open up a Thai food restaurant in Vienna. So I walked over and took some shots. I noticed the bartender noticing me so I walked over and explained that I had eaten there a couple of nights ago. I asked how long they had been open and then if the owner was around. She pointed behind me to a gentleman sitting with his laptop and eating some of the yummy shrimp rolls that I tried a few nights ago. So I introduced myself and we started talking.
Erin is of Chinese heritage but was born in Vienna, Austrian. After leaving Vienna with his parents to places like Germany, Switzerland and Sweden he decided to come back to his home, Vienna. When I asked him why he chose Thai food if he wasn't from Thailand Erin said, the people of Vienna know Chinese food, but they don't really know Thai food. There are few Thai food choices and he wanted to offer that to Vienna. The design of the place was done by architect friends of his. Erin informed me that in about a month he will be opening his other restaurant in the 19th district. It will be and Asian fusion cuisine restaurant. I look forward to trying that place in a month.
