The people behind a local group of Asian restaurants will be opening a new dining spot in the western suburbs of Boston, and it will move into the space where a beer hall and specialty beer shop had been.
According to a source (via an article from The Belmont Voice), Zen Asian Fusion is planning to open in Belmont Center, taking over the former Trinktisch/Craft Beer Cellar space on Leonard Street. The article mentions that the upcoming spot will be part of Karma Restaurant Group (which has locations of Karma in Concord, Winchester, Wellesley, Burlington, and Westford), and it will include a sushi bar and offer a "lounge vibe" with cocktails offered, while the lower level of the space will be used as a commissary kitchen for the restaurant group. If all goes as planned, Zen Asian Fusion will open later this year.
Trinktisch and Craft Beer Cellar said farewell to Belmont at the end of 2023.
It appears that the address for Zen Asian Fusion will be 87 Leonard Street, Belmont, MA, 02478.
