The big picture: The restaurant is owned by 59-year-old Filipina Perlita Bryant, who lives in Ipswich. It will occupy the former I Love Noodle bar unit, which closed in July after operating for two years.
Why it matters: It's another occupied premise on our high street and not a mobile phone repair shop, offering residents a taste of Filipino cuisine that isn't currently available elsewhere in the town.
Key details:
Signs for the new restaurant have been put up
Refurbishment work is underway inside the building
An official opening date has not yet been announced
Backstory: The Carr Street location has seen several changes in recent years:
Subway occupied the premises until 2018
The unit was vacant for several years after Subway's departure
I Love Noodle took over the space in late 2022
What's next: The restaurant is currently being fitted out and is set to open its doors to diners on Monday. We look forward to giving it a try.
