I have to assume that the reported owners, the King family, are not Chinese? Seems to me that all, or at least most Chinese restaurants are owned / run by ethnic Chinese: this allows them to keep costs down by employing mainly or solely family members and friends, most especially in the kitchen.

I hope sushi will not be on their Chinese menu.

I think the China Dragon in Hooksett was owned by the Moy family.

I love sushi, but it's Japanese. Too many "Chinese" restaurants put it on their menus.

The new take out is not affiliated with the original King Family from Laconia. I was also from the South End of Laconia (Adams St.) and was/still am, very close friends with the oldest son, Willing. I spent a lot of time at Kings Restaurant, worked at Dragon Villa in the Weirs when they owned that and helped with the clean out when they bought the property where Jade Island was. Kwan is still enjoying retirement in the area of Oakland, California.

The Dragon Villa is a blast from the past! I worked there in 1980 as a busboy. The owners at that time were an airline pilot and his stewardess wife. Very nice couple, but not super experienced in the restaurant business. I did not know that the Kings owned Dragon Villa beforehand. |

Yes I bussed and dish washed their when I was 14. I would get a ride in with Mr King and Willing. This was around 1976. They sold it shortly after I started so I lost my ride. The second time I called my father at 1 am for a ride, I was done!

Samiam, I assume you already know this but for others… there really is no “raw” fish, I.E. sushi, that can be legally served in the states unlike Japan. All fish, sushi or not, must be frozen first by law….

that building behind the Red Hill Dari has been vacant for a very very long time... always thought something would succeed there. Decent parking and right in middle of all the "action" Center Harbor has to offer...

I thought the same, but after inquiring there may be some chemical waste concerns from the previous use that may be expensive to mitigate.

Fish is no longer “fresh” after being frozen but unless it's been cooked it's still “raw.” “Sushi” means vinegared rice. Raw fish may be the most common filling in sushi rolls but the filling can be vegetable, avocado, imitation crabmeat or almost anything else — it's the rice that qualifies them as sushi rolls. I eat sushi but wouldn't touch raw fish with a 10-foot pole. |

Scorpions bowls and poo poo platters were the go-to for our group. They had a dance place downstairs but we only went a few times. Loved Jade Island |

Nick and Elena took over the old COE house and will open an Italian kitchen and marketplace. They were featured on NH Chronicle. They are off to a good start!
And congratulate them on their first newborn!

Nick and Elena are opening Gusto Taphouse, a dining venue in the Coe House. The market is next door in the corner building.

The word on the street is that the Chinese place pulled out of the potential spot in the Tiki Plaza.

Yes it is true, I received the message they sent out and at this time they will not be moving forward with their plans. Decided that Family is more important. I have to agree as I have been cooking professionally for 45 years and have missed out on many Child and Family events. Though not an owner I was still married to my jobs and those restaurants.
