Del Ray eatery South China Restaurant (1302 Mount Vernon Ave) is now reopened for takeout and delivery.
Staff at the restaurant confirmed that the location reopened yesterday, Memorial Day, with a new menu available online.
The restaurant offers a variety of Chinese and Malaysian meals at relatively cheap prices, generally between $6-$10.
South China Restaurant is open from noon to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, and noon to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Dine-in meals and pickup meals are available around an expected 15 minutes, with deliveries within 50 minutes.
While South China Restaurant has reopened, other restaurants in the area have not been so lucky. Last week, La Tasca (607 King Street) permanently closed, along with the locations in Arlington and D.C.
Other local restaurants, like Vola’s Dockside Grill and Virtue Feed and Grain have reopened over the last few weeks, with more likely to start opening as phased reopening starts on Friday.
