About Dang Foods

In 2011, I told my mom (aka “Mama Dang”) I was starting a pop-up restaurant in NYC so she gave me her recipe for Thai lettuce wraps that called for toasted coconut. I had to make my own since I couldn’t find any at the store. Starting from scratch, I shaved thick strips of fresh coconut meat and lightly toasted them to perfection. The naturally sweet aroma caught my roommates’ attention and the satisfying flavor and crunch kept them coming back. I knew in that moment that I had to start a snack food company. I launched Dang, naming it after my Mom. My brother Andrew joined in and since then we’ve used inspiration from our Thai-American heritage to create Asian-American snacks so delicious you’ll say…“Dang, that’s good!”

About Crushed Tonic

Sometime in your mid-20’s, your body starts to lose its ability to produce collagen, the gatekeepers of moisture in your skin and hair cells. This decline of collagen is what causes things like wrinkles, dark circles, and thinning hair.

Our marine collagen is clinically proven to make your skin plumper, softer and more hydrated, in addition to diminishing the look of wrinkles and dark circles in just 2-4 weeks.

We started this company because Angela is a giant nerd. You see, when she became pregnant with her first child, she spent months researching nutrition. She discovered that scientists consider nutrition in the first 1,000 days to be the most important environmental factor in development. And yet, despite this overwhelming research, the grocery store is filled with junk. In 100 years, baby food is still shelf-stable, highly processed, high in sugar and low in nutrition. In a word, it’s gross. We got angry. We got inspired. We quit respectable jobs. We founded Yumi. Whether you use us for all of your meals or none, we hope our content and products inspire and empower you – and somehow make life a little bit easier.

Bo, po, mo, and fo are the Chinese “ABCs,” a nostalgic and basic foundation for us Asian-Americans. As a cafe, BOPOMOFO seeks to represent this nostalgia and foundation with high-quality ingredients, homemade items, and an influence from both our cultural backgrounds.

BOPOMOFO’s story starts in the late 90s when boba was first introduced to the US. Our co-founder, Philip Wang immediately felt that boba shops were a unique part of Asian American culture which lead him to work at a cafe through college. Meanwhile Eric, our other co-founder, was developing his love for cooking at a young age, but had to give it up when his parents pushed him for a more secure career. In 2016, longtime friends Phil and Eric decided that they wanted to live out their culinary and hospitality dreams by opening a cafe of their own. Their drinks would use only fresh, real ingredients, and food items that celebrated their bi-cultural upbringing. Now, Phil and Eric seek to continue to provide a unique and high quality food and beverage menu, while also pushing creativity within their cafe and beyond.
