A Taiwanese restaurant is on its way to the western suburbs of Boston.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Formosa Bun & Dumpling Factory is planning to open in Newton Centre, taking over the space on Beacon Street where Jake's Falafel Corner had been. A What Now article mentions that the upcoming eatery will focus on Taiwanese street food items, including steamed buns, fried bao, and grilled sausage, and that it hopes to open before the end of this month if all goes well.
The address for the upcoming Formosa Bun & Dumpling Factory is 740 A Beacon Street, Newton, MA, 02459.
