When did this happen!? No more pina coladas in cheap plastic pineapples for decent prices? Wahh.

I don't know when it happened, I just saw the sign on the window today, which read, "CLOSED FOR GOOD".

Where was it? The only Chinese food restaurant I know by name in Davis is China Sun...

[unferth.livejournal.com]

It was on Highland Ave just past the Maven offices.
Rumor has it that the building has been sold, and the game shop will also be moving.

I ate there once or twice when I first moved to Boston years ago, and found the food quite horrible. So I'm not sure I can count it as too much of a loss.

Same here, but more recently.

Try that again

Try Dragon Garden on Elm. It's not the same as Yee's, but I've never gotten any kind of acute GI distress from them.

(Better still, you can ask them to cook up mustard greens or chinese broccoli... which are not on the menu)

yeah it's pretty cheap too, I like the Family Style Bean Curd myself..

Their dinners with ceep friend chicken bits (General Gau's, etc.) are the BEST I've ever tasted. Definitely top quality.

Damn!
Been meaning to go there...after 3 years...but still!

Had I known about the booze in plastic pinapples...

Damn.

I'm pretty distraught over this. There was no finer cheap Chinese food, especially available until midnight every night of the week.

FYI, it was closed as early as Monday or Tuesday last week, I think.

Actually, I ordered from Dragon Garden last night and it just wasn't the same. I'll miss Yee's Chef Special. *sigh*

Based on a little classified legal notice I read in the back pages of the Somerville Journal, their liquor license is being transferred to a new restaurant named "Sauces", same location.

oo intriguing

[hauntmeister.livejournal.com]

I suppose if I wanted to get really motivated, I could go find that paper again, see who's listed as the owner of the new restaurant, and then see what he's managed before. Might be a good preview of what's coming.

Personally, though the alcohol was impressive, I always found their food to be a total loss. I distinctly remember a beef-with-broccoli which somehow had every atom of flavor sucked from it before it reached the table. Try "Wang's Chinese Cuisine" on Broadway, though, for something yummy!

East Asia on Broadway = mouth watering



....except I found a cooked rice worm (?) in their rice and no longer eat there.


thought I'd note it's former wonderfulness.

Yee Village...Gone but not forgotten.

I'm totally bummed about their closing. I've been going there for years...I mean YEARS. It figures I don't have a chance to go there for a few weeks and they up and close.
There food was passable, nothing fancy but cheap. To me it's about the nostalgia factor more than anything else. There's so little of the old square left....a total bummer.

*sob*

[telepathy26.livejournal.com]

WTF???

No more scorpion bowls?

It really is depressing how little of the old square is left. For those who remember what it was like back in the early-mid 90's, compared to now we've got very little to show except cleaner sidewalks, more college kids, and nationwide chains. Yippee.
