Of the 7 currently tracked restaurants in The Junction: 3 Vietnamese, 1 Brazilian, 1 Italian, 1 Korean, 1 other.
"First seen" reflects when each restaurant first surfaced in our combined evidence — City permit, public-health inspection, social media — usually within a few weeks of opening, but a permit can lead actual opening by months. How we verify ›
