Taipei Tokyo opens tomorrow

[ron_newman]

Tonight I saw a lot of people inside Taipei Tokyo, where China Sun used to be, across from the Somerville Theatre. It was a private party. The restaurant was not yet open to the public, but will be tomorrow, according to the woman who handed me a take-out menu.

The menu looks like your usual Chinese take-out, plus a sushi and makimono* menu. The Chinese and Japanese parts of the menu seem to be separate, rather than some attempt at fusion. Some folks here earlier speculated the restaurant might be affiliated with other places called 'Taipei Tokyo' in other cities, but I see no evidence of that on the menu.

* (What is makimono? The definitions I find online are all about a scroll of writing, not food.)

At China Sun, you ordered from the counter and picked up the food there. You could sit down and eat there, but there was no waiter service.
