What's Up With the Orient?

[toby1355]

We went by the Orient several months ago only to see that they were closed for renovations. Just called a few minutes ago......no answer. Does anyone know what's going on? With only it and Fortune Wheel as the only authentic Cantonese Chinese on the Island, it'd be a shame to lose either one.

That would be great news, but I heard that Tommy may not be involved. Any one know the details?

Where did you hear that???

[csweeny]

My daughter is friends with the owners daughter. I've been bugging her to find out when they would re-open. This news was posted on her facebook page this week.

Same family owns and operates. Not sure who Tommy is, but I got this news from the owners daughter.

Tommy Tan is the owner of The Orient. Is it his daughter's FB page?

[csweeny]

That's affirmative.

The windows are still covered. It appears that alterations are still going on.
