The Mon-Kou will see us again, soon.

So...
Does anyone know of a similar place just north or south of the Mon-Kou?
It had a hard-to-decipher/pronounce name and looked a lot like the Mon-Kou inside.
I know the Mon-Kou has been around for 36 years, but was it originally at another location/address?
The Mon-Kou we were at tonight looked a lot like this other place we visited (twice) back in the mid-1990's.
Did it close and the Mon-Kou move in?

The Mon Kou has always been at that same location. I went to school with Bailey, the second generation owner, since 1972. His dad ran it before he did.

About 1 mile South on Rt. 1 is the Super Dragon. Could that be the place you are thinking of? It is very small, and located right on the RI/MA border.

The Kai Lua finally did close. That place was a dive, but had a good bar. It is about 1 mile North of the Emerald Square Mall on Rt. 1.

A few miles further North WAS the Hong Kong. It's now a Mexican place called Rancho Chico.

Route 1 has changed so much over the years..... it is tough for me to recall all of the resturants that have come & gone....
