K-Bok Korean Fried Chicken May Be Opening in the Former Cantina La Mexicana Space in Somerville's Union Square

A new restaurant that is part of a hot trend in dining could be on its way to a space in Somerville that had been home to a beloved eatery until last year.

According to a source, K-Bok Korean Fried Chicken is planning to open in Union Square, taking over the former Cantina La Mexicana space. A licensing commission page mentions that the proposed eatery plans to have seating for 50 and hopes to acquire a liquor license, though little else is known about the place, at this point in time.

Cantina La Mexicana got its start as Taqueria la Mexicana in 1995, with the restaurant closing in September of 2023.

The address for the proposed K-Bok Korean Fried Chicken is 249 Washington Street, Somerville, MA, 02143.

TKK Fried Chicken in Quincy's Wollaston Neighborhood Has Closed; Kung Fu Tea Remains in Operation

A local outlet of a Taiwanese chicken chain has shut down, though the bubble tea chain who it shared its space with remains open for business.

According to a tweet from @FloydPerkinson, TKK Fried Chicken in the Wollaston section of Quincy is no longer in operation, with the post indicating that Kung Fu Tea is still open in the Beale Street space, while the website for the chicken chain has indeed removed the Quincy location. The two concepts had also shared a space within the Hong Kong Supermarket/Super 88 food court in Allston, but TKK Fried Chicken also left that space while Kung Fu Tea remains there as well.

TKK Fried Chicken and Kung Fu Tea first opened in Quincy's Wollaston Neighborhood in the summer of 2019.

TKK Fried Chicken/Kung Fu Tea Is Opening at Hong Kong Supermarket/Super 88 Food Court in Allston

A decades-old Taiwanese chicken chain that recently teamed up with a bubble tea chain to open its first Boston-area location is apparently planning to team up on a second location within the city itself.

According to a source (Sarah Wu), TKK Fried Chicken is opening within the Hong Kong Supermarket/Super 88 food court in Allston, with a check on the website for the chain indicating that it will be pairing up with a location of Kung Fu Tea; another source tells us that an outlet of Kung Fu Tea already exists in the food court, so we are trying to find out if that spot is moving to the TKK space or if they will share the existing Kung Fu Tea space.

Once it opens, TKK Fried Chicken/Kung Fu Tea will join another combination space in Quincy's Wollaston neighborhood, while several other Kung Fu Teas can be found in and around Boston. (Based on the TKK site, it looks like a third TKK Fried Chicken/Kung Fu Tea collaboration will be coming to Nashua, NH, as well.)

TKK Fried Chicken, which started out in Taiwan in 1974, features such items as fried chicken, wings, tenders, and chicken sandwiches. (Kung Fu Tea offers such items as classic tea, milk tea, slush, punch, and yogurt.) The website for TKK is at https://www.tkkusa.com/ while the website for Kung Fu Tea is at https://www.kungfutea.com/

[October 16, 2020 update: According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, TKK is now open in Allston, and it appears that Kung Fu Tea is indeed a part of the space.]

Fuku Could Be Opening More Locations in the Boston Area

It looks like a casual fried chicken spot that opened its first Boston location last fall--and that has a celebrity chef and restaurateur behind it--could eventually be joined by other outlets in the local area.

Eater Boston is reporting (via Eater New York) that David Chang's Fuku is planning to expand, with new CEO Alex Muñoz-Suarez looking at opening new outlets in Boston as well as other East Coast markets such as Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Muñoz-Suarez says that "In my mind I see Fuku as a gateway to all of [the Momofuku restaurant group]....I think our guests are a much more wider band of representation of America's population than the guests you get in Ko or Ssäm Bar." No specific plans are in place yet for the possible new locations of Fuku in the Boston area, so keep checking back for updates as they come in.

Currently, a location of Fuku can be found in Boston's Seaport District, with the place offering such items as fried chicken sandwiches, chicken fingers, chicken bites, waffle fries, crispy potato cakes, rice and beans, slushies, and more.

Hot Chix Plans to Open in the Boston Area

by Marc Hurwitz

A fast-casual restaurant that focuses on a Southern-style spicy fried chicken is on its way to the region.

According to an article from Eater Boston, Hot Chix is looking to open somewhere in the Boston area, with current possibilities being such spots as the Berklee area, Boston University, Inman Square in Cambridge, and Union Square in Somerville. The people behind the planned eatery include Alex Kim (general manager at Eventide Fenway), Will Yoo (owner of two Charleys Philly Steaks locations), and Alex Nystedt (former general manager of Sportello), with Nystedt saying that "Boston has a lot of great Korean fried chicken, but it's lacking in the Nashville hot style," which is typically made using a paste that includes cayenne pepper. If all goes well, Hot Chix could be opening sometime this summer--and until then, the business will be popping up at restaurants, bars, and event spaces around the local area.

Crave - Mad for Chicken Plans to Open in Allston

by Marc Hurwitz

It looks like a Chinatown restaurant that features Korean fried chicken may be expanding to another part of Boston.

According to a licensing board hearing page, Crave - Mad for Chicken on Kneeland Street is apparently planning to open in Allston, with the proposed Brighton Avenue eatery looking to get its liquor license from the now-closed Market Lounge in downtown Boston. While the hearing notice only mentions the word "Crave," the manager listed is Susan Cheng, and an online search does show that Cheng is indeed behind the Chinatown location of Crave - Mad for Chicken. It appears that the new spot would have a dining area and a bar, with the space being a total of 5,300 square feet.

Crave - Mad for Chicken first opened in Chinatown in the summer of 2014, offering such items as fried chicken, sushi, salads, dumplings, and more.

The address for this proposed dining spot in Allston is: Crave - Mad for Chicken, 128 Brighton Avenue Allston, MA, 02134. The website for the Chinatown location can be found at http://cravemadforchicken.com/

[September 28 update: Eater Boston confirms that Susan Cheng is opening a second location of Crave - Mad for Chicken in Allston, with the menu being much the same as that of the Chinatown location except for a few minor changes. No opening date has been given as of yet, but it appears that the new spot could be opening by next spring if all goes well (they are currently renovating the space).]

[February 11, 2020 update: Crave - Mad for Chicken has not yet opened in Allston, but a source (Geoff Wong) hints that it appears to be getting closer to opening, and this location will apparently be a restaurant and lounge with a full bar. (This has been confirmed on the website for the upcoming location, saying that it will also have a completely new menu.)]
