Houston Asiatown's Fu Fu Cafe, Fu Fu Restaurant to exit Dun Huang Plaza

Just weeks after the closure and rebranding of Asiatown boba shop Yumcha, Dun Huang Plaza is seeing another shocking shake up. Longtime late night Chinese staples Fu Fu Cafe and Fu Fu Restaurant are departing the bustling dining center at 9889 Bellaire Blvd.

Fu Fu Cafe and Fu Fu Restaurant have catered to lunch, dinner, and late night crowds in the heart of Asiatown for almost two decades. Fu Fu’s owners announced on social media Thursday night that both will close on Nov. 15.

"Thank you for all your support, your loyalty, and the wonderful memories you've helped us create here," the Instagram post read.

But there’s good news: Both Fu Fu Cafe and Fu Fu Restaurant will merge into a larger concept at 11810 Bellaire Blvd., right next to popular Vietnamese restaurant Hem and near Hong Kong City Mall, representatives said. Fu Fu Dim Sum and Hot Pot will offer dim sum and hot pot service, alongside some of Fu Fu's classic Chinese and Vietnamese fare.

Representatives of Dun Huang Plaza said Fu Fu’s owners sold their space to a new owner. As to what they’ll do with the former space is not known.

Both Fu Fu Cafe and Fu Fu Restaurant are sure to be missed. With operating hours continuing until 3 a.m., the Fu Fu eateries were a go-to for late night crowds. Fu Fu Cafe was originally known for fast and filling Chinese and Vietnamese eats like stir-fried entrees, noodle soups and dumplings, as well as hot pot. Fu Fu Restaurant later opened just across from the cafe, expanding the menu to offer roasted ducks, Chinese barbecue and more recently, all day dim sum.
