Contrary to earlier reports (including one in the Boston Herald and one here on this site) King Fung Garden in Chinatown remains open. A phone call to the restaurant confirmed that they are now open under new management, and will continue to be called King Fung Garden, with a menu that is more or less the same.
In short, it appears that there will be two King Fung Gardens in the Boston area--one in chinatown and one in Brookline--but with two different owners.
A strange turn of events, indeed...if anyone tries the new "old" King Fung Garden in Chinatown, please let us know what you think.
