Midtown is gonna take off one day! And when it does 😵‍💫

What Now Houston published this dreadful article yesterday about Wei's Kitchen at 2020 Travis St. Zheng (Wei Kitchen's owner Wei Zheng), remains an elusive figure in the gastronomic community, keeping the details of Wei’s Kitchen currently under wraps as he was unavailable for comment as of this publishing. With no website or further information available, the anticipation and mystery surrounding the eatery have only served to stoke the flames of curiosity. Some speculation is that Wei’s Kitchen will offer a fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors, or perhaps specialize in a specific regional cuisine. Given the diverse and rich culinary heritage that Houston enjoys, Wei’s Kitchen could very well be a new nexus for culinary innovation. The location is strategically positioned in a bustling area, making it an ideal spot for attracting a diverse clientele eager to sample the dish creations from Zheng. https://whatnowhou.com/new-concept-set-for-inner-loop-river-oaks-submarket/ First off, I highly doubt Wei's Kitchen is a business many Houstonians are anticipating. That's not to say it won't be a fine restaurant. It probably will be. Moreover, this eatery is not going to be "a new nexus for culinary innovation." My guess is the author has a minimum word count that they have to adhere to. Hence, the reason for the article's fluff and needless padding. Still, What Now Houston notes the following regarding a possible opening timeline: According to a comp report reviewed by What Now Houston, the Lease Term is set for June 2024, leading the belief that permitting and construction will soon be underway to turn the space into something fitting for Wei’s Kitchen sometime in 2024.

An updated site plan is included in the lasted marketing brochure for The Block at Midtown. According to the site plan and LoopNet listing, Wei's Kitchen is leasing a unit. Wei's Kitchen may be a Chinese restaurant. I'm basing this on the other restaurant from Wei's Kitchen's owner: Mencius Gourmet Hunan. There is 4,527 sf still available for lease, which can be divided. The Block at Midtown is a retail center at 2020 Travis St. It's currently being renovated.

This happens every time someone ticks him off. 🤷‍♂️
