It closed in 2018 and the building was torn down. At the time, they were planning on opening a new spot of some sort, but I think the pandemic has derailed that, at least for now.

I think the era of overly large lounge-type “pan Asian” restaurants has come and gone. Not sure that’s a good thing. I do love good New England-style Chinese food every so often.

I've seen more than one article saying MA has the best "chinese" food in the country.

Well, I’m not so sure about that, but I do have a certain nostalgia for chicken fingers, pork fried rice, and beef teriyaki sticks.

Isn’t Kowloon closing soon too?

Is it? I’d be surprised.

But I do believe they are knocking it down and rebuilding/splitting it into multiple buildings or something?

And yeah Castaway was definitely there ~10-15 years ago when I was at UMass.

Nah, closed a while ago.

This was maybe 2005ish? I don’t think it’s open any more, but I honestly wouldn’t have guessed castaways was either so I’m not the best source for this stuff.
