On the way to visit our friend Yin Hoong<\/a> at the crafts show in Point Pleasant Beach where she was exhibiting yesterday, my family drove past the 1-9 Restaurant in Avenel (in the Edison area). Noticing that the parking lot was empty, we pulled in to see why and found a court order notice posted on the door calling for the place to be turned over to its landlord immediately. The door was locked and the restaurant vacant.<\/p>\n

This dimsum spot (lately known as A-K Restaurant) has served my family excellent dishes – and a good sampling of it – on the several occasions we’ve visited and we feel sorry to see it go.<\/p>\n

This follows on the heel of the closing of the Asian Market on Route 27 in Edison about two weeks ago. I’d planned to pick up some groceries while I was in the area about 10 days ago and the friend I asked for directions told me, “No, don’t go there now – it’s closed. The building was sold and is being turned into a Korean supermarket.” A few days later I was checking out the noodle soup options at China Bowl, which is still open in a different part of the same strip mall, and saw for myself the conversion project under way around the market. It’s under construction and is completely fenced in.<\/p>\n

The landscape in the Edison Chinese cuisine area is changing.<\/p>\n

A friend recommends Kings Chef as a dimsum alternative, we’ll have to try it. I love Wonder Seafood’s cooking, but the wait for a table there is long and claustrophic, and it’s likely to get worse with a major competitor’s closing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
