"Walia in 2023 sued Coup de Thai - a fixture on the main drag of wealthy Los Gatos since 2014 - and alleged that during a 2021 meal, the restaurant's Dragon Balls caused chemical burns to her vocal cords, esophagus and the inside of her right nostril, leaving her with "permanent injuries." The restaurant in a 2023 court filing denied Walia's claims."
"In her declaration, Walia said she was a member of the wedding party for a close relative who is "like a daughter to me." Walia said her 83-year-old father and 80-year-old mother would not be able to travel to Viet Nam without her escorting them. "They are the last of the oldest generation in my family and it is very important in my culture that they be present at the wedding," Walia said. Walia aded that the airline tickets are "prepaid, non-refundable and very expensive.""
A San Jose neurologist filed a 2023 lawsuit against Coup de Thai alleging that a 2021 appetizer called Dragon Balls caused chemical burns to her vocal cords, esophagus and inside her right nostril and resulted in permanent injuries. The lawsuit names the restaurant, its owner, the chef, a waitress who took the order and others, and accuses Coup de Thai of gross negligence while seeking unspecified damages, medical expenses and lost income. The trial originally set for March 23 was rescheduled to Nov. 9 after the plaintiff requested a delay to attend a relative's wedding in Viet Nam and escort elderly parents, citing prepaid, non-refundable tickets. The judge noted both sides sought the postponement.
