A new restaurant has moved into the building that once housed Koja Kitchen, which closed earlier this summer.
Known as K St. Kitchen & Bar, the restaurant serves Vietnamese food, according to the sign posted at its storefront at 732 K St.
The restaurant was announced on social media August 22. In its Instagram post, the owners of K St. Kitchen wrote that the dining space is getting a “complete transformation to bring (customers) a fresh new vibe and even bolder flavors.”
The restaurant is currently open for business, according to its social media pages. Food is also available for carry-out, according to the website.
K St. Kitchen focuses specifically on northern Vietnamese food. It offers a grilled chicken plate with white rice, cucumbers, tomato, and pickled vegetables; a shrimp and crab tomato noodle bowl; and chicken pho, according to its online menu. The restaurant also serves a Bun Cha Hanoi platter, with sliced pork, grilled pork meatballs, an egg roll, vegetables and vermicelli noodles.
Koja Kitchen abruptly closed July 2, according to previous reporting from The Sacramento Bee. The Korean-Japanese restaurant was best known for its Koja burgers, a garlic-fried-rice bun sandwich with Korean BBQ meat.
“Same address, but completely new. We transformed the former Koja Kitchen location K St. Kitchen & Bar,” a social media post read. “(We’re) a brand-new spot bringing modern, bold Vietnamese flavors to Downtown Sacramento.”
K St. Kitchen & Bar is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
