Kimchipapi in Malden Has Closed

A pair of Korean restaurants is back down to one, as its newer location has shut down.

According to a Bluesky post from snoe.bsky.social along with a Reddit thread, Kimchipapi in Malden is no longer in operation, with the Salem Street eatery apparently closing its doors in September. The dining spot, which opened late last year, offered such options as corn dogs, Korean fried chicken, fries, kimchi fried rice, and more; the original location (which is called Kimchipapi Kitchen) does remain open on Harvard Avenue in Allston.

The address for the now-closed Kimchipapi in Malden was 184 Salem Street, Malden, MA, 02148. The website for Kimchipapi Kitchen in Allston can be found at https://www.kimchipapi.com/
