🥡 Ding How Set to Reopen Two Years After Fire

Beloved Chinese restaurant Ding How is officially set to reopen after a two-year closure following a fire that took the local favorite off the map.

The restaurant will reopen in the same location (corner of Whitesburg and Airport) with the original kitchen staff, meaning the familiar favorites will be back on the menu!

An opening date hasn’t been announced yet, but fingers crossed it’ll reopen by the end of the year!
