Richard Chen to Re-open as Plum

Richard Chen, which closed its doors in April is re-opening Monday, August 17 as Plum Pan-Asian Kitchen. They have added a nine-seat sushi bar to the center of the dining room and revamped the menu to offer more small plates at a lower price point. The restaurant will be open Monday through Saturday for lunch and seven nights a week for dinner, with the possibility of adding Sunday brunch. "It's going to be more of a neighborhood place," said co-owner Cathy Chen.

Check back for a more detailed update next week.

I took my fiance to Richard Chen's for our anniversary last fall. The interior design was amazing and I truly enjoyed the ambiance. The menu had me reeling a bit. I ordered the Cantonese Lobster. It was mediocre and the pricing was astronomical. We did enjoy the Jellyfish Salad. I hope Richard's new endeavor flourishes, because the location and design is amazing.
