I see someone is doing work there. Anyone know what's up with this space?

I heard Rusty McLear bought the building, not sure what's going in there.

I liked Phu Jee. Reminded me of Gremlins every time we went there at night.

I agree. Also, I miss seeing Cindy. She was very friendly.

I agree. I live in a City with some of the most incredible Chinese cuisine available in this Western part of the World.

Phu Jee was very good.

Phu Jee was also affordable.

There's a Chinese restaurant in SF called Eight Tables. Starting price per person is around $325, without drinks.

Could George Chen be eyeing the old Phu Jee building? Probably not.

Phu Jee had better ratings.

Have you tried San Francisco Kitchen in Nashua? The food is more Thai than Chinese. It was good.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the name. Must be some connection.

No, I have not heard of San Francisco Kitchen. But I have now...Thanks!

I just heard yesterday that she and her husband bought the closed "Very Excellent" Chinese restaurant in Bristol and are remodeling and reopening. Not sure of when...

That would be fantastic. Archies Crab Rangoon were the best ever

My wife and I went to the now closed “very excellent” place a few times…I would have called that “average” Chinese food. Not bad, not outstanding. We love the Green Ginger however. Be interesting to see how the “New Phu” turns out!

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has confirmed whether Cindy and her husband are opening another place (Very Excellent still appears to be closed) or if anything else is planned for the former Phu Jee building.

55 Main St of Meredith NH on Facebook .... http://www.facebook.com/p/55-Main-St...1559987559560/ ......

There's a December 31, 2024 photo with demolition under way, a large yellow excavator tearing down the back of the old wood house on Water St and it says;

"New Year, new look for Water Street!!! The back portion of 55 Main St that had fallen into disrepair has been demolished. We will be renovating the historic 1911 front portion that will serve as the new restaurant!"

July 2, 2025: So, what's the latest information here? Anyone care to chime in?
