After 42 years of service at 740 N Fairfax Ave., Genghis Cohen held its final service on May 31. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter doing our best to secure a long-term lease at a reasonable rate, the property is being redeveloped,\u201d owners Marc Rose and Med Abrous explained in an April Instagram post<\/a> upon initial announcement of the move. \u201cEven with all of these challenges, we are prepared to surmount them with your support and are more energized than ever on keeping the Genghis Cohen legacy alive for generations to come.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, the New York City-style Chinese restaurant has supplied eaters with takeout and delivery. All that will change on Sept. 25 when it reopens in a new, temporary space on Sept 25. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A half mile from the original location, Genghis Cohen 2.0 brings with it its core components \u2014 cozy red booths, silk dragon lanterns and favorite menu items like New York Egg Rolls, Crackerjack Shrimp and Foo Foo drinks \u2014 with an added dash of refined flair. Owners Rose and Abrous (Dolce Vita, The Spare Room) tapped friends in the design community for a refresh, adding red carpet, teal accents and plenty of neon to the restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A fish tank looks over the larger 12-seat bar, complemented by new cocktails: a frozen Dole Whip-inspired concoction and the Oolong Island Iced Tea. For new eats, try the Shrimp & Chive Dumplings, spicy glazed chicken (Volcano Chicken) served tableside and the bar-only Szechuan chicken sliders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
