A Chinese restaurant that spent 39 years on Langston Blvd has closed following the owner’s involvement in a car crash.
Hunan Village shuttered this past month at 4775 Langston Blvd, property manager Robert Gamzeh confirmed with ARLnow. For privacy reasons, he did not disclose the owner’s identity.
“The tenant was involved in an accident, and wasn’t able to work anymore,” he said. “I don’t think they will be coming back.”
Hunan Village first opened in 1985, Gamzeh said, and a restaurant review in The Washington Post’s archives dates back to that same year. Hunan Village has had a total of three owners over the years.
The restaurant served dozens of recipes out of its kitchen, from noodle soups and beef with broccoli to egg foo young and moo shu pork.
Following Hunan Village’s closure, Triple Net Investment Group intends to find another food service tenant for the space, at the end of a low-slung commercial strip near N. Glebe Road.
“It’ll be a restaurant again,” Gamzeh said. “It’s been a restaurant for a very long time, and people like to have restaurants there.”
