- Financial Difficulties
- Mon Hue closed down without notice, evidently unable to pay its debt.
- Several Mon Hue employees and suppliers have told local news media that they haven’t been paid “for months”.
- Staff, landlords and suppliers have been left unpaid. Trade suppliers are owed at least US$430,000 including a produce company whose $55,940 debt traces back three months. Others reduced their exposure by ceasing supplies but a promised instalment repayment plan by Mon Huse was allegedly not honoured.
- Fraud
- Foreign investors who poured $70 million into the Mon Hue restaurant chain are suing its parent company founder, alleging fraud.
- They said that Huy Nhat, an American-Vietnamese, has violated his managerial obligations and responsibilities by conducting unusual transactions with evidence of fraud.
- In the lawsuit, the investors said they had not approved the closing of Mon Hue outlets, which happened without an apparent business reason and cost 1,500 Vietnamese employees their jobs.
- Poor Product
- When they first started, almost all foreign tourists considered visiting Mon Hue as an indispensable part of their trips to Vietnam.
- While the restaurant volume soared year-by-year, the quality of dishes and the service became worse.
- Customers complained on Tripadvisor that they had a few bad experiences, food served cold and the service was bad.
Unable to pay its debts.
Foreign investors sued the founder.
Bad reviews about the food and the service.
