KS Seafood Quietly Closes

In February we reviewed KS Seafood, a restaurant in the Chinatown plaza that set itself apart from its competition by focusing on Taiwanese cuisine. In the review, manager Tom Wu explained that Taiwanese cuisine separates itself from its Mandarin, Cantonese and Szechuan brethren by being drier and lacking the rich sauces and gravies of those other styles. We made a couple return visits in the following months and enjoyed our meals every time, especially the tofu, pork blood and tripe soup, which isn't as disgusting as it sounds.

We were walking around the plaza yesterday when we noticed the windows of KS Seafood covered in newspaper. The phone number listed to the restaurant was also disconnected. A check at LTHforum also indicated that KS Seafood had indeed closed. A shame, really. KS became one of our favorites in Chinatown.
