New Asian-centric restaurant moving into downtown W’burg

A new restaurant is expected to open in downtown Williamsburg in the coming weeks.

Ngoc Kitchen, an Asian-centric takeout spot, is currently preparing for its grand opening in a portion of the old Game Café location along Main Street. The eatery will feature a variety of Asian cuisines, including Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese dishes. 

Ngoc Nguyen, owner of Ngoc Kitchen, told the News Journal on Tuesday that she is still awaiting some permits and licenses to be officially approved, but hopes to have the restaurant operational sometime around the beginning of June. 

Nguyen is a skilled chef who works with fresh ingredients and makes all of her dishes from scratch, right down to the egg rolls. For that reason, patrons can expect an authentic experience when choosing to dine at Ngoc Kitchen.

The restaurant will be takeout-only once it opens, but Nguyen said that she hopes to expand to allow for the option to dine-in eventually. Additionally, delivery orders will also be available for residents within the city and for larger, group orders outside of it. 

While still tentative, Ngoc Kitchen will be open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

For those interested, the restaurant already has a Facebook page with a tentative menu, which can be found by searching Ngoc Kitchen on Facebook. Once open, the restaurant will accept orders by phone at (606) 310-7622 and also via Facebook Messenger.
