Van Shabu and Bar Is Opening in Dorchester

It looks like a new restaurant is coming to the Savin Hill section of Dorchester, and it will apparently be catering to a couple of different audiences.

According to a job post within the site, Van Shabu & Bar will be opening on Dorchester Avenue, with its location apparently being within walking distance of the Savin Hill T station on Savin Hill Avenue. Based on the post, the new dining spot will apparently be a combination shabu restaurant and sports bar, with diners cooking their own food, choosing from various ingredients and broths. At this point in time, Van Shabu & Bar is hoping for a November opening.

[November 2 update: According to a job post within the Craigslist site, Van Shabu is looking to open sometime in December.]

The Savin Hill section of Dorchester, which is a bit south of the Columbia Road exit off of the Southeast Expressway, has a number of other eateries in the neighborhood, including Shanti, McKenna's Cafe, The Harp and Bard, and Savin Bar and Kitchen.

Keep checking back for updates on Van Shabu & Bar over the coming weeks.

[December 22 update: According to a post within the EveryBlock Boston site, Van Shabu and Bar now has a business license, and there is now a given address for the place that indicates it is moving into the former Nash's Pub space: 1154-1156 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, MA, 02125.]
