What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited this Vietnamese restaurant, near the Ridgewood, Queens/Bushwick, Brooklyn border, for the 2017 episode 'Amazing Asian' (aired 2017-09-29). According to Food Network's own restaurant page, Guy Fieri was served the restaurant's grilled pork chops and a crispy crepe filled with bacon, shrimp, and bean sprouts, described there as Vietnamese street food. Bun-ker Vietnamese operated from 99 Scott Ave, an address that falls on the Brooklyn side of the Ridgewood/Bushwick line even though the area is often called Ridgewood.

A Yelp listing for the same address, updated 2026-08, still carries a permanently-closed marking, and Google's own business listing for the address likewise shows it marked closed.
