Former face of China Sails restaurant in Fall River opening new spot next week

A familiar face from a Chinese spot in Fall River will be starting something new.

Dominic Chen, who is the former manager and do-it-all man at the popular China Sails Restaurant on Hope Street in Fall River, will be looking to make his mark at a new location.

Chen will be opening the new eatery at 210 Rhode Island Avenue next week and it will be called Mr. Chen.

While Chen was fairly quiet concerning his exit from China Sails, he states that you can expect the recipes that you know and love to be similar to China Sails, but with some tweaking to his liking.

Chen stated that Mr. Chen will have bubble teas available and will have a theme involving a bunch of Legos for children to check out.

The restaurant will not focus on dining-in as the focal point will revolve around take out/delivery.

The new Chinese spot is aiming for a Tuesday soft opening and then ribbon cutting on Wednesday if not Friday. Chen stated that one way or another, he is ready to open up next week.
