Restaurant owners honored by Siena College

Siena College is honoring a new “Saint of the Month,” – Min Cho Ki and her son Justin Ko. Min is a Korean immigrant – she opened a restaurant, Son of Egg, in Albany in 2020. She quickly realized she needed help, so she brought in her son, RPI grad Justin – as her managing partner. The business grew – and they now have a second location in Rensselaer. Their success has turned into giving back – funding 500 backpacks filled with supplies for students.
