Dakzen Is Opening in Somerville's Davis Square

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like another Asian street food spot is on its way to Somerville's Davis Square.

Eater Boston is reporting that  Dakzen is planning to open somewhere in the neighborhood this summer, moving into the space where another restaurant currently resides (an exact location has not been given as of yet). The article says that the proposed eatery will focus on Thai noodle soups and noodles dishes, including "boat noodles," which includes pork blood mixed into the broth, tom yum noodles, and a curry noodle plate called khao soi.

A couple of months ago, another Thai street food spot called Kor Tor Mor opened on College Avenue where Golden Light had once been.

[February 9 update: The Tables section of The Boston Globe states that Dakzen will be a self-serve eatery offering noodle soups as well as stir-fried noodles with a variety of broths, sauces, and toppings. The post indicates that the restaurant is expected to open sometime this summer and that an exact address will be given soon.]
