Sumen to Open in the Former Rangla Punjab Space in Arlington Center

A new Asian restaurant is on its way to the northwest suburbs of Boston, taking over the space where an Indian dining spot--and several other restaurants--had been.

According to a source, Sumen is planning to open in Arlington Center, moving into the space that had previously been home to Rangla Punjab, and before that, Singh Saab, Punjabi Tadka, Midami, Kayuga, and Asiana Grille. The social media for the upcoming restaurant indicates that it will offer ramen, sushi, and donburi, and while an exact opening date has not been given as of yet, it appears that the place will be opening soon.

The address for the upcoming Sumen is 444 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA, 02474. Its Instagram page is at https://www.instagram.com/sumenarlington/
