Shabu-Zen in Allston May Be Replaced by Zhu Seafood & Beef Hot Pot

One of a pair of longtime Asian fusion restaurants known in part for their hot pot could be replaced by a new hot pot place.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, Shabu-Zen in Allston is petitioning to transfer its license to Zhu Seafood & Beef Hot Pot, which would open within its space on Brighton Avenue. Very little information has been given about the proposed eatery, but more should be known by later next week after the hearing, so stay tuned for updates.

The Allston location of Shabu-Zen opened approximately 20 years ago, joining the Chinatown location which had debuted a few years earlier and which remains in operation on Tyler Street.

The address for Shabu-Zen in Allston (and the proposed Zhu Seafood & Beef Hot Pot) is 80 Brighton Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134. The website for the business is at https://ift.tt/ZTzJyib

It looks like one of the best-known places for wings in the Greater Boston area may be opening a second location.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Buff's Pub in Newton Corner appears to be expanding to Watertown, with posters within the group and a licensing board page along with a Facebook post from Mike Petraglia of Petraglia Services seeming to confirm this.

Home Taste in Watertown Is Closed, Is Apparently Being Rebranded

A Chinese restaurant west of Boston that is known in part for its noodles and dumplings is locked up and dark, and it appears that it could be in the midst of a rebranding.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Home Taste in Watertown is currently closed, with a photo showing signs out front saying that Badam Uyghur Cuisine is apparently moving into the space.

We will be taking a short break for vacation and will be temporarily closed for approximately one month. Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding! We look forward to welcoming everyone back when we reopen.

Home Taste first opened in 2015, offering such options as hand-pulled noodles, handmade dumplings, Chinese "burgers," Szechuan dishes, and more. [Ed note: Another Home Taste can be found in Arlington Heights.]

The address for Home Taste in Watertown (and presumably, Badam Uyghur Cuisine) is 58 Mt Auburn Street, Watertown, MA, 02472.

Armsby Abbey in Worcester Is for Sale

A gastropub in Central Massachusetts that is considered by many to be one of the best beer bars in New England is on the market.

According to an article from the Worcester Guardian, Armsby Abbey is Worcester is for sale, as owners Sherri Sadowski and Alec Lopez say that "After 18 years of ownership we are considering taking a step back to focus on the things that are most important to us; our son, family, and friends....We have lost a few very important people in our lives in recent years which has truly brought to our attention how precious life is and how fast time is going by." The article mentions that the offering includes the business, equipment, and other assets, but it does not include the real estate, and the owners want to find a buyer who will keep the dining and drinking spot going with its current staff--and that it is business as usual for the time being.

Armsby Abbey is known for its hard-to-find beers while also being the first place in Massachusetts to offer Hill Farmstead beers on a regular basis (Hill Farmstead is an award-winning brewery in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont).

The address for Armsby Abbey is 144 Main Street, Worcester, MA, 01608. Its website can be found at https://ift.tt/3O74u2b

The person behind an award-winning Miami restaurant is bringing a new location to the Greater Boston area.

According to a post within the jobs section of the bostonchefs.com website, Tran An is planning to open in Salem, saying in the listing that "Chef Jon Nguyen, a rising star from our flagship Miami location, will be working side by side with the Salem team from day one....Come grow with us as we bring Tran An's Miami energy to the North Shore."

It appears that Tran An may be coming to 206 Derby Street, though this has not been confirmed as of yet. (The website for Tran An can be found at https://ift.tt/s7CBEg0)

Hawksmoor Opens in Boston's Fort Point

Earlier this year, it was reported that a small chain of steakhouses and cocktail bars with roots overseas was planning to open a location in Boston, and now we have learned that it is up and running.

According to its website and social media, Hawksmoor is now open in the city's Fort Point neighborhood, moving into a space within the Eli Lilly research and development center on Necco Street. The website for the London-based chain says the following of the Boston location:

Space for around 200 guests, sweeping views across the Fort Point Channel, and a big outdoor terrace made for long lunches, celebratory dinners, a few too many martinis and everything in between. What started as a single restaurant in London has grown into fifteen across the UK, Ireland and the US, including Dublin, New York and Chicago. Boston is the newest, and it opens in our twentieth year, which feels pretty special. Every Hawksmoor reflects the city it calls home. Boston is no different. The best of London. The best of Boston. Together at last.

Hawksmoor (which was a James Beard semifinalist for Best Beverage Program in 2025) was first established in London in 2006 and currently has two other locations in the United States--in New York City and Chicago.

The address for the new location of Hawksmoor in Fort Point is 15 Necco Street, Boston, MA, 02210. The website for the U.S. locations is at https://ift.tt/qEHhF6C
