Pei Wei Asian Diner opened in the former Mattress Discounters space next to Nando Peri Peri and underneath 18th Street Lounge back in Sept. 2013. I never actually had the chance to take a taste – where there any fans? Super fans can still get some in Fairfax or Herndon. Updates when we learn who takes over the space.

Back in January we learned that Burger Tap & Shake would be coming to the former Neisha Thai Restaurant space (briefly EUR Asian) in Tenleytown. BTS now says:
“We are hoping to open by the end of the week!”
Check out their Tenleytown menu here.
This will be their second location, the first Burger Tap & Shake is located at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW in Foggy Bottom.

What’s the deal with U Sushi? There are signs saying that they are now in Sala Thai. What’s going into the space?”
The Sala Thai folks say they closed the independent U Sushi space because their 10 year lease was up and prices were rising. Not clear if a new tenant has been found yet but will update as soon as its known.
