Vietnamese Sandwich Shop Looking to Join 'Restaurant Row'

Proposed restaurant owner at 1759 Centre Street goes in front of Boston Licensing Board on Wednesday.

  Tomorrow the owner of a proposed Vietnamese sandwich shop is going in front of the Boston Licensing Board to open up at 1759 Centre St.   As UniversalHub's Adam Gaffin pointed out, that small area on Centre Street has become a mini "Restaurant Row" - with Christo's, Thai Spice, Los Amigos, the Red-Eyed Pig, Himalayan Bistro, West on Centre, Porter Cafe and the Upper Crust Pizzeria. And with the 1st annual Taste of West Roxbury happening on Thursday night, now is as good as a time as ever, to discuss the cultural cuisines offered in West Roxbury. So what kind of restaurant would you like to see come to West Roxbury?

We were trying to get something closer to town, and we wanted to do something a little different."  Added Jim, "I was getting bored with seafood. I cook a lot. We mulled over a couple of food (types). And because we’re in West Roxbury, we thought the meat thing would go well over here. There was a seafood place here that didn’t go well. There are lots of …
