Last week, it was reported that a pair of restaurants known in part for their fried chicken and bubble tea had closed down, but now it appears that one of the locations has returned.
According to an Instagram post from the business along with its website, Mochiko Hawaiian reopens their Boston Landing location in Brighton today, with the post saying the following:
Regular service resumes October 6. Thank you for your patience during our brief pause—we truly appreciate your support and can't wait to welcome you! Mochiko Hawaiian Brighton at Boston Landing
The post doesn't say anything about the Newtonville location, and the Instagram page only shows the Boston Landing location so it appears that Newtonville will not be opening back up, at least for now.
A few days ago, Mochiko posted a note on their website that said "It was fun while it lasted. We enjoyed our time together + we tried hard to save it. Ultimately, we could not. Love the fam we built + we will miss you all." It is not known what decisions were made that resulted in the Brighton location to return.
The address for Mochiko Hawaiian at Boston Landing is 133 Guest Street, Brighton, MA, 02135. Its website can be found at https://www.mochikohawaiian.com/
