A Chinese restaurant in Newton has shut its doors, and a Taiwanese eatery is going to be taking over the space.
According to a poster on the Chowhound site, Peking Cuisine on Walnut Street (just north of the Beacon Street intersection) is now closed, and a new place called Sweet Potato Bistro will be opening in its spot. The poster mentions that the new restaurant may be opening sometime in July.
[July 13 update: According to recent posters on Chowhound, Sweet Potato Bistro is now open.]
Based on information from their website, Sweet Potato Bistro will be featuring Taiwanese tapas, including items such as steamed pork buns, jelly fish salad, beef tripe in spicy sauce, an oyster omelet, pan-fried turnip cakes, and minced pork over rice. A regular menu will also be available, with a variety of beef, poultry, pork, seafood, and vegetarian items offered, along with rice and noodle dishes.
Sweet Potato Bistro will be open for lunch and dinner on weekdays, with dim sum offered on weekends.
