Mike Nguyen, San Antonio

Sunday morning, Mike Nguyen discovered his San Antonio restaurant, Noodle Tree, had been vandalized with racist messages after he'd appeared in local news outlets and on CNN to criticize the decision to lift the mask mandate.

"Kung flu," "go back 2 China" and "hope U die," were written in red spray paint, according to photos he shared with CNN. (CNN has reached out to the San Antonio Police Department for comment on the incident).

"Honestly, to me it's a piece of cloth that goes over your face," he said. "I don't understand why they took it this far, but I guess they wanted to send a message that masks are ridiculous, or whatever."

But aside from the vandalism, Nguyen said the weekend went well. He chose to continue requiring masks for customers unless they're seated at their tables. And he's capped his dining room at about 60% to 70%, rather than fully reopening.

Before the restaurant was vandalized, Noodle Tree actually doubled its business compared to last weekend, Nguyen said, calling it one of the restaurant's "busiest weekends." He couldn't say whether the increase was due to the lifting of restrictions or support from the community.

Nguyen said whoever vandalized his restaurant doesn't represent Texans and they don't represent San Antonians. Sunday, Nguyen told CNN people had been approaching the business throughout the morning to help clean up.

"I'm very humbled," he said. "But I'm not surprised. This is what we do as Texans, this is what we do as San Antonians -- we help each other out."

He said that was also evident in how many Texans are still wearing masks, despite the relaxed restrictions.

"It kind of shows you that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we can go back to what we used to be," he said. "That's encouraging."

"I'm just hoping we don't go backwards," he added.
