Chinatown is going through some changes and one of the main staples that is changing is the Vietnamese restaurant Dong Kahn (81 Harrison Ave.). This restaurant is definitely the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. I know everyone knows Pho Pasteur and loves it, but my Vietnamese friends and I have agreed that Dong Kahn is as good as Chinatown has.
I drove by this weekend and noticed that the entire restaurant was boarded up. I’m checking with my sources to see if it is a renovation or what. However, until then we will all be waiting for the great drinks and Vietnamese food to return.
Another change in the Chinatown scene is the Restaurant/Lounge News (150 Kneeland St.). This was a pretty nice lounge and restaurant. Going by recently I noticed the big sign on the roof is gone and the restaurant will soon be called Splash. For more info on this change follow this link.
Additionally, I’ve heard that there is a new bakery in the center of Chinatown, but I haven’t had the chance to visit it. Does anyone know if it is good? Any news about it?
Lastly, I had the chance of going into the new C-Mart on Washington St. (the old 88 Supermaket). The one thing I noticed was that it was much more organized and cleaner. The produce was nice and so were the assortments of fish and meats. Additionally, it is open to 8pm. I’m a late/early shopper to avoid the crowds, so hopefully more markets will follow in these footsteps. My only gripe about this place is that it doesn’t have a bakery like the old 88. I liked being able to get baked goods and groceries at the same time. Ohh well…I guess you can’t have everything.
Again, if you have a subject that you’d like me to write about, let me know. Thanks and keep reading.
