A new cafe from the owner of Northwest Chinese has opened in College Park.
Hua Wang, owner of the much-lauded Chinese restaurant, will hold a ribbon cutting on Saturday, March 8, for the new Li Chun Cafe located on the ground floor of City Hall at 7401 Baltimore Ave.
The cafe had a soft opening in late February and has already picked up some regular customers.
A representative of Li Chun Cafe said that it would feature “authentic flavors” from Wang’s home region of Shenyang with some innovative twists.
“Our menu features handmade bing (Chinese flatbread wraps), rice dishes, and Chinese tea culture, all designed to create a warm and welcoming place where guests can relax, connect, and enjoy thoughtfully crafted food and drinks,” spokesperson Xue Ling told the Wire.
Other menu items include a bento box with your choice of sides, a beansprout and kelp salad, soft tofu in dried shrimp scallion sauce and Yanji-style dried beancurd strips. Drink options include bubble tea, matcha lattes, a jasmine green tea and various coffees.
This is not Wang’s first attempt at popularizing chun bing, which she describes as a sort of Asian burrito. In 2019, she opened the short-lived CB Chinese Grill, which sold chun bing in a Chipotle-style setup.
