The people behind a Korean eatery in Allston that is known in part for its poke bowls is bringing a new dining spot to a nearby food court.
According to an article from Eater Boston, Joon Son and his team from Kimchipapi Kitchen on Harvard Avenue will be opening Kimchipapi Korndogs and Pon De Joy in the old Pho Viet's space in the Hong Kong Supermarket/Super 88 food court, with the former being an extension of Kimchipapi Kitchen and offering corn dogs and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), while the latter will feature mochi doughnuts. The post mentions that Kimchipapi Korndogs and Pon De Joy--which hope to open in August--will use the same kitchen and counter, though the branding and signage will be separate.
Pho Viet's, which features banh mi, pho, and more, moved from the food court to a nearby space on Commonwealth Avenue early this year.
[October 14 update: Eater Boston states that Pon De Joy is now open, and a source (Sarah Wu) tells us that Kimchipapi Korndogs will also open at some point in time.]
[October 19 update: Our source tells us that Kimchipapi Korndogs now appears to be open, as the menu at the space now includes Korean Street Korndogs and Potato Korndogs.]
