Khong River House Opens December 17
Khong River House, the new Asian concept from 50 Eggs, opens on Meridian, just off Lincoln Road on December 17, after teasing the public with drips of information and black and white murals for months.

The restaurant, named after the Mekong (nicknamed Khong) River which runs through Southeast Asia, including the Tibetan Plateau; China's Yunnan province; Burma; Laos; Thailand; Cambodia; and Vietnam, will follow that river's journey through food. Khong, helmed in the kitchen by chef Piyarat Areeratn (Chef Bee for short), will take inspiration from Thai, Burmese, Laotian, and Vietnamese cuisines. The restaurant will also feature an extensive cocktail and wine program with a focus on gin-based drinks.

Though the menu is still being worked on, expect family-style dining with small plates ranging from $7 to $12 and large plates ranging from $10 to $17. Khong will be open for dinner on Sunday - Thursday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to midnight; Friday and Saturday evenings 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Lunch and brunch service will follow.
